Release The Burdens You Carry

The gift you can give to yourself is one of lightness. There is no need to carry the burdens of others. In fact, when you do this, you do not serve them or yourself. When you carry their weight they then do not know or get to experience the beauty and strength they carry within them. Allowing others to be where they are even when they are in a place of hardship can serve them because they then learn to find their inner strength. There is nothing more satisfying than this. When we do all the caretaking for another it robs others of their search for their own inner gifts.

When we let go of the burdens of others, we become light. And this lightness of being reflects to all we encounter and in turn, raises the vibrations of those around us.

Sometimes we carry the burdens of others because of the acknowledgement we receive. Acknowledge yourself and the acknowledgement from others is no longer necessary.

Practice This Meditation

1. Close your eyes and breathe deeply into your heart. Imagine you are breathing in love and on the exhale, breathing out the burdens you are carrying.

2. Visualize a golden ball and imagine filling it with the people, places or situations that feel burdensome to you. See this ball floating up into very bright golden light. You are sending the burdens you carry to a healing realm to receive what is needed.

3. Then, ask to see the big picture. Receive any wisdom you may need to know about why others may need to have the experience they are having. Know that all experiences are about learning.

4. Lastly, visualize a golden light pouring over you, filling you with what you may need to be a healing presence for others.
