Many times we may hear or use the phrase, “Let it go!” Can we really let anything go? Where does it go?

Perhaps we could rephrase this statement by saying ”change your focus” or “choose to view it in a different light” which would make more sense because, if an experience is ours then it cannot “not” be a part of us. All of our experiences combined are the individual threads that make up the beautiful and complex tapestry of our lives. Each expression and experience is woven into a pattern that makes our tapestry what it is. No two tapestries are the same.

In our lives we have situations that are emotionally disturbing to the essence of our being. As much as we would like to “let it go” or pretend these experiences never happened, they are a part of us. Even if we are able to suppress the memory of a painful event, in time it will surface in one expression or another. It never really goes away because it is a part of our life experience and a piece of who we are that makes our tapestry what it is.

To be able to heal the wounds from our past we need to be honest about what we experienced and come to a place of acceptance. To resist or deny the reality of an experience may be why we continue to focus on it and relive the pain. To “let it go” would be to suppress or pretend the experience never happened. An untruth that will surface.

What will heal these wounds from our past is to accept our experiences regardless of the nature of the experience. We can come to a place where we can say “it is what it is” or it “was what it was”. We never really forget, nor can we erase the experience, we can only neutralize the polarity that holds the pain and persistent memory of the experience within our essence.

We can temporarily place a “cushion of comfort” around the experience but we can never delete it from our past. In our “self talk” when we are looking at our past, we can say, “I didn’t deserve to be treated this way!” We can also forgive by affirming the truth in the statement, “Forgive them for they know not what they do,” but the truth is the experience is ours and therefore it will be woven into our beautiful tapestry regardless of our attempts to “let it go”. It is a part of who we are! Do not dismiss it, embrace it!

We can, however, change our focus or choose to view our life’s experiences in a different light with a higher truth or understanding. We can bring love and light to the memory of any painful experience and decide to move forward in our acceptance, which will in turn, bring us peace.

When we have peace we no longer need to re-visit or focus on the past. To do so will only keep us in the moment. In order to truly move on we have to make peace with all of our life’s experiences in accepting them for what they are and making a choice to see the silver lining through the cloud. Even if we are not able to clearly see the silver lining, acceptance, alone, can be enough to release the haunting pain from the experience.

When we can come to the place where we can honestly say we are grateful for the experience, can see how we are a better from having had this experience and what we may have learned from it, we are setting ourselves free from the polarity. Acceptance begets peace.

In our third dimensional expression we have the combination of positive and negative experiences which allows us to make a choice to honor love and light, or not. Without this duality of expression we would not have this opportunity to view and choose. In this time, when we are rising into the 4th and 5th dimensional frequency, our individual tapestry displays every possible color and pattern of experience of our previous dimensional expression. The imprint of all our experiences are displayed beautifully in the tapestry of our lives.

It is our passport, so to speak that identifies us, shows and tells where we have been and what we have experienced, come to understand and accomplished. We have no need to apologize or regret any expression or experience. When we accept our experiences, learn from them and choose to “think differently” we are adding a brighter color to the essence of our tapestry.

All tapestries are perfectly woven and divine. They are the culmination of our experiences and the beauty in the expression of who we are. What would your tapestry look like if it did not have all of these colors including the various shades of light and dark? Just think, if you were able to “delete” any part or change the threads, you would have a completely different tapestry that would not reflect the beauty in the real you!

You cannot go back and cut out any experience woven into your tapestry or pull out the threads that you do not like. Accept all the threads you have accumulated, express gratitude and become the weaver. It is in our “acceptance” of these less than desirable experiences that we are able to experience true inner peace and rise above them. “Where there is no resistance, there is no harm.” There is that quote again! In accepting, we are not resisting or denying. In accepting, we are able to heal the wounds. In our acceptance, we will have peace.

The day will come when all of our tapestries will be displayed in the “one light” and we will see how they are all connected and an integral part of the whole. Together our beautiful tapestries will display all the colors and reveal the mystery of God. Not any one part is missing nor is any thread that is woven less than perfect when viewed together in this oneness. All tapestries will perfectly fit together to display the prettiest picture you ever did see! More beautiful than you could ever imagine!

Within this love and light nothing can or will be hidden and all experiences are to be blessed. Prepare to bring your tapestry into the realm where it can be placed together as One, to be viewed by all! We can all rejoice in our unique contribution that is part of the whole. All of the colors in the threads are equally radiant and no one color is greater or lessor than another when woven into the Universal “Tapestry of Our Lives”.

In Love and Light,
Kerry and Her Angels
