The Man in the Mirror Project - Storing Waste

I once heard a story about two monks walking down a road.  They came upon a woman who needed help crossing a mud puddle. It was against the rules for any monk to touch a woman.  Both monks looked at her predicament and one of them decided he would pick the woman up and carry her across.  He did so putting her down safely on the other side.

The two monks continued walking for several more hours down the road when finally one of the monks spoke up.  "I can't believe you picked up that woman.  You know it's against the rules."  The other monk answered "Are you still carrying that with you.  I put her down a long time ago."

We all carry things around with us that don't do anything for us.  The image we should hold in our minds is like we are storing waste.  For women (and I am one, so this came across to me very clear) we are always concerned about our weight.  What if every thought and situation we were not able to let go we stored as physical fat?  Would we continue to do so and how long would it be before we began to do something about it?

Believe it or not, it really is true.  Except the "fat" we store, this waste product of festering thoughts is in our energetic field.  Just because we can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there.

So this week as you are reminiscing perhaps about old hurts, words or actions, start to visualize where
those thoughts are stored.  When you do, ask yourself if you need the extra weight.  If not, perhaps you can decide to let it go, knowing its only some extra fat you can do without.
