Renew Yourself

This is a talk and meditation that is full of positive energy that comes with spring. I focus on how you can let go of the old and allow the new you to be present. Springtime feels good and it is possible to let that energy lift you to sense that new you.

Aloha,

I'm Reverend Cindy Paulus and I wanted to talk about renewal,

Rebirth,

And spring.

There's such an importance to be able to renew yourself and to be reborn and to believe in the wonderful things that come with spring.

Now I'm already hearing here on Maui,

I'm already hearing the birds starting to do their spring songs.

It's amazing,

It's amazing how their song reflects positive energy.

So much beauty,

Really truly beautiful songs.

And I was thinking about our own heart song and how our heart also wishes and has a song to be heard,

To be sung.

And I think it's spring,

It's so important to allow that positive energy you get,

That beautiful gift of rebirth,

To let it inspire you.

Now I know in different places in the country at different times it's not always going to be the same time for spring,

I understand that,

But there's always the ability to pull that energy in,

The beautiful gift of rebirth and springtime.

And it's been some very,

Very hard and cold winter,

Some hard changes and times,

But then when we feel that positive energy of rebirth and spring,

We realize that possibly all the things we had to go through,

All of those changes,

Everything that was happening,

Was necessary to be able to let go of the old and make way for the new.

And that is,

It's really a spiritual thing more than a physical thing.

Although I think that we feel it even now in our physical body,

We feel it in our emotional body,

We feel it in our mind,

We feel it in our soul.

And we can sense this and celebrate this in our meditations,

We can celebrate it in our life,

And we can actually take it and allow it to be a mirror,

Allow it to be brought even into a higher,

Higher,

Wonderful gift that we can actually bring even out to the world,

To ourselves,

To our friends,

By allowing that energy,

That positive energy to pour through us.

And it's available,

It's available,

But we have to be able to let go of the down stuff and the depressing stuff and the negative stuff enough to believe.

And that believe word is so important,

To believe that there is a positive energy out there,

There is something that makes all those things we have been going through worthwhile to open our hearts up to something new and beautiful,

And that is the energy that comes from rebirth.

That's the energy that comes from the springtime,

That's the energy that we need to always recognize and realize is there for us to tap into in so many ways,

In so many ways.

And it's kind of,

I look back at the last year and I think,

Wow,

This was one for the books,

This has been really quite an interesting year.

Then again,

I know there's a lot of people that think,

Well,

This happens all the time.

For me,

It seems to be intensifying,

It seems to be getting a little more challenging at times,

But I think that may be all the more reason to be able to shed that old skin and like a butterfly,

Take off and fly,

Take off and soar,

Let go of the old and allow that new energy to let you fly free,

To bring that new rebirth in.

And it has to be a choice,

It has to be your choice to allow that to happen.

And if you experience that beautiful,

Positive energy,

That rebirth that comes,

If you experience it,

And if you allow yourself to feel it,

You are going to feel that that gift,

That gift of that beautiful new you that has been taking all of these hard lessons and all of the changes and all that you've gone through,

To be able to say,

Okay,

I did that,

I'm ready for something beautiful and new,

I'm ready for spring,

I'm ready for rebirth,

I'm ready to turn it all over to God and just let go of my old ways and my limited ways and allow new wonderful things to be guided through me,

Knowing that anything has to be better than the way it might have been,

Right?

It's like,

Okay,

I'm already trying.

And you have to have that opening,

That beautiful opening that says,

Okay.

And so let's just take a moment,

Let's take a moment and reflect here on the long strange trip it's been that got us to this point of now,

And what we had to do to get ready to let go of the old and make way for the new,

And to trust enough to believe that that new energy,

That spring-like rebirth is going to be a beautiful thing that we can call upon,

That magic that is there that we feel when we see the blossoms of spring,

When we see and hear the songs of the birds at springtime,

When we actually get to experience that beautiful rebirth.

So let's take a few deep breaths and let's go inside and allow your spine to be straight and take some of those wonderful clearing breaths.

Oh,

I just felt my neck,

Almost always if I go inside,

My neck aligns and my body aligns and let yourself align with your inner self and the higher self and the light there within you.

Now just breathe it in,

Feel it,

Allow it to be present right here and right now.

Just let go and let God be in control.

Ah,

Feel how good that feels.

Oh,

Just to let the burdens go,

Let the worries go,

Let the past go,

Let it all just go and let go and let God be in control.

Open that space wide.

There's a lot of energy and love and light that can come in when you open that doorway up and start to feel how that energy is pouring through your whole being,

Your whole body,

Your head,

Your neck,

Your shoulders,

Your spine,

Your heart,

Your heart of hearts full of love and light and rebirth.

Ah,

And all those organs,

Everything that you go through that takes a lot of the stress of what you eat and the stress of what you feel,

Just give them gratitude and love and let that third chakra be totally full of light and allow it to go down to your second chakra and the base there,

Sending more light and love and just allow it to be recharged and renewed and revitalized and allow the energy to go down into your legs,

Your thighs,

Your knees,

Your calves and down to your feet till you feel all of this wonderful new energy completely filling you full of that new light of spring,

That new light of rebirth.

And just breathe it in and see that energy surrounding you all around and that aura that goes above you,

Way up,

Up,

Up onto the side on either side of you,

Way out and down below you,

In front of you and behind you and just feel what it's like to be surrounded in a bubble of light.

And how about letting yourself just float,

Allow yourself to float in that beautiful energy of the highest vibration and let yourself just be free of all worries and stress and to be able to fly with the wings of an angel,

Way up,

Way up,

Way up inside and just see how beautiful life is when you let go of that old and allow that beautiful new,

New energy to come in.

Let it revitalize you.

Let it be there for you to strongly call upon and have that faith to know that it's always been there waiting for you to open up to it and that it welcomes this wonderful time where you can join with this energy that is so precious and so powerful and so beautiful that can create a rebirth of your heart and your mind and your soul and just allow yourself to float in that energy with angel wings surrounding you on either side of you,

Lifting you even higher and higher in a celebration of that new you,

That celebration of that wonderful gift of who you really are,

That rebirth and that recognition that comes at this time of renewal.

Just let go and let it be,

Let it be,

Let it be.

Breathe it in deep and feel it transforming you and feel good.

Just allow yourself this special time and if anything or any messages are there that you need,

It's going to help you from that highest place within.

Allow yourself to receive any messages that might be valuable.

Allow them to come into your being,

Into your mind,

Into your soul and just let yourself be restored now and slowly know that you're going to come back and you're going to feel renewed and you're going to feel revitalized.

Slowly allow that to happen,

That all of your body and your cells,

All that energy being restored to its original beautiful light and love.

And now slowly open your eyes and just be for a second,

Be grateful.

That beautiful gift of gratitude that allows you to recognize who you really are and to be reborn into it and say thank you God.

And so it is,

I thank you.
