I woke up this morning in a pleasantly uplifted mood.
I had been up late last night writing creatively and went to sleep joyful, awakening refreshed and looking forward to my day.
And then something triggered a painful memory of an event from the previous month and I felt the hurt all over again.
As I sat in my chair, I fell into despair – feeling the sting from being hurt by someone I dearly loved. I thought I had already released this – but there it was.
As I relived the event – again – in my mind, my body grew tense.
Our Minds are like a giant computer bank of memories, facts and data affecting our lives on numerous levels.
As I walk my dog, I notice the gentle breeze moving the fronds on a nearby palm tree.
I sit on a bench, close my eyes and listen to the breeze in the trees. The sound takes me back to a childhood memory.
I follow the thought’s emotional memory cord back in time.
It is Easter morning and my grandmother awakens me before the sunrise from my peaceful slumber.
