The card Release has come to you because you are holding on, and now it’s time to release!
There are many things we can be holding on to such as; a job, a person, an expectation, stress, an opinion or belief, dwelling on a happy experience from the past, anger, disappointment, resentments, guilt, …or your idea of how life should be.
The things that you are holding onto are not serving the higher good any longer. ‘Holding on’ is likely creating disappointment or frustration in yourself or others because you are living in the past or the future. You are not experiencing what is present and real in your life, and in your heart, right now. …and you are possibly not open to a future that is even better than the one you are imagining.
Lasting happiness won’t be experienced by having demands, unrealistic expectations or a fixed idea of what kind of package your happiness will arrive in. There may be little fulfillment if you cling or demand that your life return to the way it was. It is likely that the past didn’t even really fully satisfy you, but wanting to relive it seems better than moving forward and taking a chance on a new adventure or a new perspective.
Letting go of the ‘bigger’ things can be a challenge. There is a tendency (if not an obsessive collective desire) to go through a mourning process when someone or something is no longer there, but it is possible to let go of these feelings and replace them with light and happiness. Yet be aware that you cannot force yourself to let go, for your heart knows when it’s time to release. And remember that when enough time passes, we find that everything we once felt extremely attached to no longer has such a powerful hold over us. Also, know that you cannot lose what truly belongs to you.
An additional way to release yourself and move forward is to focus on others. Offer any assistance to those who may be experiencing greater challenges than you. Releasing your uncomfortable feelings and helping others is much better than avoiding it, denying it or trying to tough it out.
Releasing allows new opportunities and experiences to appear in your life. It's time to accept that ‘what was’ is over - for now at least. Any effort to stay in the past or trying to repeat it is possibly a way to stay stuck in ‘ill fitting’ clothes and situations that you have already outgrown. Perhaps it is time to try on something new and fresh. Be open to a different perspective, to the unexpected, and to new adventures! Choosing to release allows your life to unfold and grow to new heights and depths. Let go and trust in yourself and in the natural unfolding of life. Releasing will signal the creative force to open another door - it is time for you to go through it. Let go of your simple plan and follow your higher self’s greater plan. There you will find true happiness and success for everyone. Take a deep breath, put away the past and turn towards the sparkling glass of blessings in front of you!
