Rewind Your Past You are never stuck How do you feel about your past? Are there parts of your past you would like to erase? Or perhaps there are parts of your past that you would want to return to? How do you feel about who you have been over the years? Are you proud of what you have done? Or, perhaps, are you feeling shame, guilt, regret, sorrow or pain about your past? Blink your eyes. Do you know that all of your past is, metaphorically, on the “other side” of that blink? Your past is no longer deciding your future, unless you are still holding onto it.

Perhaps your own “personal” villain(s) have much more karma in their psyche than you do. I would not be surprised if you all shared your journey with me, that you would tell me of some pretty terrible trainwrecks in your lives. I know I have had my share. Even though I have been consciously on my spiritual journey for over 25 years, I have had some pretty intense events in my life, in just the past few years. My attitude towards these…
