The Creation of Releasing

Mantra for Creation

“May I release _____fears, thoughts, concerns, old ways of being…
May I welcome the freedom to co-create with my Soul.”
Michelle Holling-Brooks

The first part of this prayer is a core element of creation. 

And yet, that part of this mantra is one of the absolute hardest and scariest prayers we can say. 

The energy of releasing requires us to walk with loss, grief, letting go of our attachments or allegiances, and softening the grip of our fears. 

Let’s break this down with a quick example:

Step One Spark of Inspiration. I get the inspiration to wake up five minutes earlier so that I can journal, stretch, meditate, engage in a mindful movement practice, prepare a healthy breakfast, or simply be with the silence that is a stage of creating something new. 

Letting go of attachments as to WHY. I can think that there is a reason “why” I’m getting that spark of inspiration. Such as: I’m creating more balance, health, or space in my life to be in alignment. Yet, I don’t know that for sure. Any reason as to why I’m getting this thought of inspiration is just that, my mind/ego making a rational thought and idea. Soul-level truth - the ripple effects of how that inspiration will play out and what it will co-create in my life as I act to try and follow through on that spark of inspiration is literally impossible for me to hold and isn’t important at all to know. (ugh this is working with the medicine of Acceptance and the Understanding, a WHOLE different blog, but it wanted to be here so I’m just going to leave it here lol) 

Engagement: The next step after letting go of “why” that inspiration is there and deciding "I want to follow it” is to engage that spark of inspiration. I need to pull out my alarm, set it for five minutes earlier, save it, AND when it goes off - get up and do the thing, actually engaging with that extra time the way I intended: sitting, doing, being with my guidance for a full five minutes and so on. 

Que Law of Attraction. I can guarantee that IF I do the thing(s) and am actively connected and open to my inner guidance in those five minutes more inspiration, ideas, new thoughts, choices, and changes will come out of that time. When I engage a choice that comes from those sparks of inspiration, they compound on themselves in a beautiful way. If I allow it, inner guidance will start to flow and I will feel more opportunities to engage my WHOLE day and life rooted in what little seeds within me were scattered in those five minutes. Some impacts might feel huge and show up in a way that I can witness the laws of creation in motion - cause and effect, law of attraction and manifestation. While most will be totally unseen to my conscious mind, yet they ARE there and as real as the ones that I can witness. 

AND they will challenge me to release something else too.

Hidden step inside ALL these steps, releasing. In truth, if I get to the point of engaging in any spark of inspiration, I’ve already had to be willing to release over and over again. In this example, I would have had to release my old habit of waking up at the old time. Release my ideas or fears of what someone might think or when inner parts of me will say to me if I only do it once, or I hit snooze. Every time we decide to open to and connect with a spark of inspiration and engage in with those sparks, even in the smallest versions of it, we are asking our systems to release its attachments to the old karmic cause and effect wheels in our lives and take a risk. 

Creation requires us to walk with faith and trust. 

Sounds amazing right! And yet, to our survival system the act of creating something new and releasing the old way of being is often more of a declaration of imminent doom and destruction of self than something to celebrate and run towards. 

The tricky part of the energy of creation is in helping our Mental Being hold the very natural fears, worries, concerns, and resistance that will always be present in some form or fashion in a way that honors; yet doesn’t appease, indulge, pity, and self-sabotage ourselves in the process. 

This is the type of shadow work that comes forward with this element of releasing within active creation. Plus, it isn’t just once, we are asked to do this over and over again - meeting, witnessing, tending to, releasing, and opening to the unknown as we move with creation. 

I recently recorded Part 3 of 4 on a mini-series to help liberate your ability to be in flow with your own creative nature over on my podcast, Soulful Practices Podcast. 

I invite you to hop over there and take a listen, open to the Soul-led invitations that are held within it. These episodes are designed to work together and help you free yourself of hidden survival system’s worries, so that you can engage with the willingness to release and therefore create! Create the life that is calling to you, the relationships, the opportunities, and the fields of grace that can ripple out to others every time we move from our Heart and Soul and not our Minds or protective fears driving us from behind the scenes.

Highlighted practice from episode 42: 

• This week I invited you to set the intention to walk with the energy of releasing.
• Invite Reiki energy to help bring your attention to the subtle and not-so-subtle ways that you are: 
• Being guided to soften and release your thoughts, ideas, or fears around what must happen to get…..
• Being guided to open to a new thought or choice that requires you to release your allegiance to an old way of being or guidance.
• Hearing and thinking let go, yet you find yourself gripping, holding and bracing in some form or fashion.

• And when you gain these moments of awareness this week, remember to engage in a sacred pause that softens and meets those parts of you with curiosity, seeking understanding so that you can make a choice to exhale, release, and open to moving from love not fear.
