We all know the feeling of walking through life as if we’re carrying the burdens of stress, sadness or struggles. Like spinning in the proverbial washing machine! Longing to lay it down. Just imagining if it’s possible to get a sigh of relief, a feeling of lightness or a moment of happiness.
The human mind is a powerful tool. We can visualise laying our burdens down before whatever we believe in – angels, nature, friends, family or wise counsellors. No matter how smart we are, how capable we are, how hard we work, no one can single-handedly cope with all the stress we tend to take on in the course of our lives. We aren’t naturally designed to do so. Share & seek support. Find ways to relax & rejuvenate. Just feel the energy flow in the moment. Our well being depends on our ability to compassionately & patiently balance that which we can’t fully carry by ourselves.Sharing a simple visualisation technique – leaves on a stream.
We can imagine carrying our burdens to something much bigger than ourselves. Envision an all powerful & supremely comforting entity in whatever form that takes. Then, visualise ourself carrying a large sack full of stress inside. Lay it down humbly, gracefully before it to release, to let it go. Expressing gratitude as we surrender. It’s amazing how this brings peace, strength, hope & inspiration in the moment.
