Emancipation

Challenge #62

At some point in our lives, we need to break free from the chains that hold us back, that no longer serve us. Those chains, seen as emotional ties and beliefs, may originate from early childhood experiences with memories that keep us from moving forward, taking the steps we need to and being able to see ahead. They leave us feeling stuck, bound and sometimes depressed. They stem mostly from fear resulting in the lack of trust in ourselves, judgmentalism, criticism, disbelief in positive outcomes, and low self esteem and low self-love.

I challenge you to begin to notice your chains, how heavy they are, what they mean to you, how they hold you back, and allow yourself to break free of them. Sometimes they are referred to as the ethereal cords - negative psychic cords that tie you to others and seems impossible to break free of. Imagine yourself bound by these cords and then see a big pair of scissors or a machete come doen and cut them away in one swoop. Feel the lightness you suddenly feel....do this for each one you feel and acknowledge gratitude and vow protection for having completed this....
