Hello, lovely listeners, and good morning, Kim. Good morning, Jill. Good morning, everyone. Today's message has a lot to do with memories and how the memories—they're there. And like Jill  pointed out, it's not that you're remembering the memory. We're possibly in a zone where we're looking back at some of these experiences and we're either beating ourselves up or we are judging that experience in the past, or we're going into it and we're seeing something that maybe we don't remember—remember in quotes—seeing or experiencing.

These things are being brought up to the surface for you to acknowledge, for you to maybe make a different—not a memory, but create your emotion. Okay? Create a different emotion or create a different thought related to that experience. Because what if—whoa. Okay. They're showing me ball, like a ball and chain.

Some people feel like, ouch, it's a ball and chain. Like this is an old chain wrapped around my ankles and my wrists and the humongous, heavy weighted balls in the past—that experience. And it's like we're looking back, like, man, that held me back in life. That kept me stuck, man.

And you're like, go back and imagine those chains coming off and saying, okay, that was the experience. That's what we knew at the time. That doesn't mean you're going through the exact same thing right now. You have a chance to create a different experience now.

Yeah, I love the experience—that's, to me, is the key word. It's the experience. The memory is like pointing—to what needs looking at, if you will. And then you're saying, Kim, create or recreate the experience.

I know someone who said years ago—oh, it just blew my mind—I was like, why? She was like, yeah, I recreated my childhood as an adult. She said she went back through all the memories and she recreated them. And she said now you ask me—she said I had an amazing childhood.

And she was sincere and she had a very difficult childhood and she was not in denial. She brought them up and took the chains off. She didn't deny them.

That's what I'm hearing you say when you're saying to bring them up—yep, I see them—I see the chains—you go back, you recreate the experience, and those chains go away. And now you have a completely different memory stored.

Yep. That's how powerful our minds and our imagination is to recreate.

Oh, it really is.

Oh, okay.

And okay—I heard sometimes people are very fearful of releasing those chains, recreating that experience or that memory. They're scared of it because they don't know any different. They have a hard time seeing or visualizing what it would have been without it.

Right? It's kind of like it's part of their identity; it's like part of who they are now.

Yeah. And even though people want to let that stuff go that they don't like, it kind of scares them to do that because they feel like a piece of them is going to go away.

And it's like, well, you can recreate it. You can recreate that piece; it doesn't have to go away.

I love this.

So I would—I was gonna say a word and I got stopped.

Okay.

I want everybody to try to go back to an experience—it could have been yesterday; could have been five minutes ago—the timing of it does not matter.

Okay?

But go back to that and see if you can see from a different perspective or just recreate the feelings in that moment and say something like: wow, I felt that; wow; okay; you know what? I'm just going to look at it; I'm just going to visualize it; I'm going to go back and maybe change a feeling on it.

I heard sage it—sage it—cleanse it.

Yep—that's a great practice, Kim.

That's actually a really powerful practice.

I would suggest starting with something very non-personal—you know—and small.

So when you said yesterday I had like a very small business transaction thing that was a little rocky—which is funny because yesterday's theme was rocky—but that would be one that I would go back and bring up that memory and then recreate that experience.

And it's not that the experience itself was bad; it's that the memory that I stored around it was a little crunchy.

And when I look at it today I'm like there's no reason—I was having some sort of reaction to this situation—and it didn't make any sense why I was having that reaction because I was very calm; I was very diplomatic; you know—the messages I wrote—I even went back and looked at them—they were very factual—and yet I was judging myself or whatever—just beat myself up kind of weirdly.

It's mostly a habit, I think.

So on a small scale like that—on something that's not a personal relationship with someone—it's not something huge—it’s really easy one to recreate.

Then you get that one done; then you can incrementally go to the next one; then the next one; then those bigger ones or deeper ones or more difficult ones if you will—like this lady who recreated her childhood.

Yeah—that wasn't done in a day—it was practice; she stuck with it for a while until she considered it complete point.

Yeah.

When you can look back on something and see—not necessarily positive—but see it from no judgment—it just is what it is—you knew what you knew at the time—the information—that's what it was at the time—how can you judge or beat yourself up over something you actually didn't know? Or that person or thing didn’t actually know at that time?

Yeah—it’s like getting it to neutrality—you don't have a reaction; no emotional experience with it—as you said—it’s just fact—or just there—it’s actually incredible freedom.

Yeah—it’s hard to get there—but those little steps—you go back just moments ago or yesterday—pick something—and start with that: okay—I am okay—I am free.

Yep—and I don’t—it may be hard or take time—but so worth it—it’s so worth it.

The sage popped into my head—I feel like I have sage and I'm saging it—and then all of sudden I see somebody coming up with holy water throwing holy water at it—that’s funny!

So then yeah—a whole lot of different images people use to cleanse and purify things are popping up—even different gemstones—it’s whatever works for you—use it!

Some people have written letters then burned them—you know—it’s ritual—that’s what it comes down to—a ritual in our lives—that works for us—not something required—it might seem odd—I’ve seen people take stones bury them somewhere special they love—that’s really precious because sometimes—even these not-so-helpful memories—we carry them as though they’re part of us—as though they’re valuable!

So I've seen people take valuable items bury somewhere where they can't get them back—the ritual is letting go of something valuable!

But whatever comes to people—is good—to go with—even if odd—as long as you're not harming yourself or anyone else—that's all!

Is this about letting go of harmful things and getting into neutrality about them?

Yeah—that feels good!

It does!

Oh thank you Jill! Thank you everyone!

Oh thank you Kim! Wonderful wonderful stuff today!
