Cleansing Activity- Closing the Doors of Our Past

**Please Read All of this top to bottom and try what I have given you.  I promise it will help you (if you are open to cleansing) and really focus on it.  I would appreciate any feedback on the process and any comments that you would like to leave for me and my readers**. 

Today I am giving you a relaxation activity designed to help you cleanse your mind, body and soul of open wounds from our past. These inhibitors of your future are sitting behind open doors constantly reminding you of your past, pestering you about your current situation and holding you back from a bright future.  These doors are open and flowing negative energy into your life and are holding you back from being the wonderful person God created you to be.  To get rid of these bad memories, negative thoughts, relationship issues, anger, fear, envy, self-loathing, pride fullness, disappointments and anything else standing in your future you must put them behind you.  

Most of these events, emotions, and internalized feelings are the result of us being careless, making bad decisions, using poor judgment or just being human and learning as we grow.  Others are the result of people that have hurt, harmed or disappointed us in relationships, jobs, marriages, and so much other day to day activity we do. Both of these types of inhibitors can hold us back and destroy our current outlook on life and future growth.  The level at which these things have occurred is different as well, so your thought process about the emotional baggage you carry will be your own and will be as big as you allow it to be. 

I have been going through a cleansing lately of my mind, body and soul and in that process I have battled through the things that were holding me back from a better and brighter future.  I realized there was a bunch of open doors that I needed to slam the door closed on to move forward and cleanse myself of them.  In the process I was able to visualize the open doors that I wanted to stay open as well.  Doors exuding confidence, positive vibes, energy and good emotion.  Doors that have great memories that I want to remain in my mind, body and soul.  I will explain the process to begin this cleansing and allow you to go and do it.  Please try it, give it a great effort and do as I write and see how it works.  I would love feedback and pray that it helps you relax, close some wounds and begin the healing process.

1- Go to a quiet space, cut the lights off, turn off all TV's, music, fans or anything making noise. 

2- Close your eyes, sit or lie down and clear you mind of any thoughts. This may take a little while to accomplish.  You can control your mind with practice.

3- Imagine yourself just so relaxed you cannot feel your legs or arms.  Get a complete chill going on before starting. This is very important!

4- Once you are completely chilled, tell yourself that you are there to relax, reboot, cleanse the past and seek the future.  Say it to yourself as many times as needed.  You are in control of your body, mind and soul at this point.

5- Now imagine yourself in a hotel and you step off the elevator and see a hallway with hundreds of doors open.  These are the good memories, bad memories and things we want to either save or slam the door on.

6- Once you visualize this begin to walk down the hallway.  As you do on your right are doors open that have great memories.  These may be family, pets, friends, trips, Holidays, and any other pleasant memory you cherish.  We do not close these doors because these are healthy for us and we want to take them with us in our future.

7- On your left are bad memories, thoughts, fears, anger, resentment, relationship issues, bad decisions, poor judgements and all the things inhibiting you and holding you back.  We will begin to slam the doors on the left side as we go down the hall.

8- Begin the process staying relaxed as you take your walk down memory lane.  Visualize the good, smile at it and leave it open.  Visualize the bad, smile at it and slam the door leaving it behind you.

9-  Do this until you feel like you have completed your cleansing journey in the hotel hallway.  Go slowly and take your time.  One set of door at a time.  Do not move forward until you close those doors of the past.  The goal is to leave it behind you and not allow it to carry forward.

10- At the end of the hallway is a beautiful light, one that is beautiful with whatever colors you want it to contain.  That is the ultimate goal, walk that memory hallway and reach the end to see that wonderful exit sign light.  It is a cleansing light that exudes from Gods grace, mercy and love.  Once you see that light, just keep your eyes closed, breath slowly in and out and just chill and enjoy the inner peace you have achieved in the process.  

11- Once you feel like you have accomplished your cleansing, open that door and step forward in life taking the positive with you and leaving all the baggage behind.  At this point God is with you and has helped you get rid of the negatives and keep the positives.

I suggest that you pray to God for cleansing, guidance and grace as you begin the process of slamming the doors on your past to open new doors to a new bright and wonderful future.  Do these activities as needed to help you reach you inner being, grow spiritually and change your life and those around you.  You can visualize any place that you like, walking through a forest, hearing a river pass by, flying in a plane or whatever it is that gets you in your zone to cleanse, heal and move forward.

God Bless! Coach B

Polly and Beona- Two Peas in a Pod

Sisterly Love- My mom and her older sister, my Aunt Beona were two of the most wonderful people one could ever know.  My family, immediate friends and so many others were touched by these ladies in so many ways.  Both of these wonderful ladies have went on to be with God and I know they are now watching over their kids, families and others.  They talked everyday on the phone, regardless of what happened or may have come up they spoke everyday.  My mom would call over and ask to speak to Beona and of course, my Uncle Robert would answer the phone and proceed to give her a hard time about calling and pick at her.  Mom loved to talk to Robert and looked forward to giving him a little of his quick wit right back to him on those phone calls.  Robert didn't hear very well so the television would be turned up to about maximum volume if you called or stopped by to visit with them.  You would have to knock on the door several times for him to hear you.  On...

Leaving 2020 and Moving into 2021- My Must Do's

Some of my readers may or may not know that 2020 was a very tough year for me and my family.  I personally have battled heart issues, covid and other sickness since September of 2020.  I had three hospital stays, a couple of real scares as far as living another day and this has took a toll on me mentally, physically and spiritually.  But it did force me to take a hard look at my past, present and future growth in all three of these areas that are required for us to function healthy in life each day.  Taking this hard look will enable me to build a brighter future in all three areas of my existence.  You may not need all three, but for me they go tit for tat and connect the dots of the life style I live.  I must have all three to be strong of mind, body and soul.  Everyone writes a bunch of new year resolutions that they intend to work on for the new year and go flying into the new year all fired up and on a mission.  Then soon, the mission becomes...

Sundays At Grandma Smiths

Right After Church- When I was a kid growing up we would all go to church on Sunday and then head straight over to my Grandma Smiths house and spend all afternoon eating lunch, playing outside, watching football and fellowshipping with family and friends.  When I say family and friends, I mean the entire extended family of at least 20-30 people.  My grandparents were not rich so I do not know how they fed all of us every week like that.  We did have some great fresh garden veggies, potatoes and corn that was grown on the property.  It was the coolest place to go and spend time growing up.  We had all the outdoor activity a child or teenager needed.   Summertime Fun And Sports- Summer time was my favorite season as the grass was nice and green and much softer to land on when your cousins and brothers piled on top of you playing tackle football.  Of course, we played with no pads and you got busted up good on most Sundays.  We played every spor...

Battling Covid 19

I took a few days off from blogging as I have been recovering from Covid 19 over the Christmas Holidays.  I am writing this to tell my story of the battle I fought with Covid and how it has impacted me and the family this past week and a half.  Since Covid hit we have been very focused on avoiding it the best we could and took precautions to not contract it.  That all changed a week and half ago as we were exposed to someone that did not know they were a carrier and within a few days the wife and I started feeling bad and suspected that we may have contracted it just prior to the Holidays.  It started out like a common cold with runny nose, chest congestion and stomach ache.  We tried for three days to find a testing site close to the house and eventually drove down the road about forty five minutes to be rapid tested.  We were steadily getting sicker and within  a few days of the test we got the results back that we were positive for the virus.  ...

Spending Time With God

Do you ever just stop and spend time with God?  I try to pray three times per day morning, noon and night to make sure I speak with God.  Sometimes I fail at that goal because life can get in the way.  The quantity of prayer in my opinion is not greater than the quality.  Doing it three times a day allows me to focus on the things I need guidance on.   Our spiritual needs can change in a minute, an hour or a day.  Give those to Fod and know that he has heard those and will action them for you.  God wants us to spend time with him, seeking his guidance for our lives, relationships and jobs. My favorite way to seek time with God is to go out behind my house and sit near a huge tree in the shade and talk to God.   Maybe you have have your "quiet time" or devotional time or whatever we call it to seek guidance.  When you do seek God do it with conviction, with an open heart, mind and soul.  Do not half heartedly pray for things tha...

Five Simple Changes to Kick Start Weight Loss

Today I am writing a quick blog post about simple ideas and changes that will allow you to begin the process of losing a few pounds at a time and getting healthier in 2021. I myself began the process of working on my health and weight back in the middle months of 2020 just prior to getting sick with heart issues and then Covid 19 hit me hard. I had lost about 15 pounds by making some small changes and was beginning to feel the physical effects (positive) of the small weight loss and changes the wife and I had made to our diet plan, exercise routine and activity. When Covid hit me in December of 2020, the weight started flying off literally as I have since dropped about 30 pounds so far and things are starting to level off now as I am healing daily, gaining my appetite back and strength a day at a time. I plan to continue to lose weight, get lean and work on total health in 2021. I am not talking going crazy and becoming a gym rat, just small simple changes that will help me live a ...

End of Times- 2nd Timothy

 I had a vision lastnight about the end of times. Before I went to bed I asked my spirit guides and God to give me a sign of things to come. As I went to sleep I was thinking about how things are going in the world right now and all the troubles we are facing as mankind. I went to sleep and my prayer was answered and I got a clear vision of several huge storms and a war that included the world. It starts with Russia/Ukraine and spreads to China/America and is all about balance of power and movement into other countries that American political fugures have huge amounts of $$ interest in. I saw cities torn to pieces by clans of people hell bent on destroying towns. They broke into stores, burned down houses and stole whatever they wanted all in the name of an ideaology. I saw floods, dry rivers, and other biblical predicted things happening. I saw a dry river and four massive demon angels moving to the four corners of the earth and creating hysteria, plagues and ammassing...

All I Want For Christmas 2020 and Beyond

My wife and I have grown kids and they are always asking us what we want for Christmas.  Many parents out there of grown children can relate to this dilemma and we all probably give the same answer over and over.  We say "I don't know", "I don't want anything", "I don't need anything", or my favorite which is "I just want to be with you on Christmas day".  I sometimes even tell them "my two front teeth" just to get them riled up.  My wife and I are blessed and we really do not have anything on a list that we need.  Heck, we all have online ordering and next day delivery for all those things we want to buy.  I wrote yesterday about A Covid Christmas which is what we are celebrating this year as we all have Covid and are separated for the Holidays.   We all have family traditions like gathering, eating, fellowshipping and sharing gifts with family and friends.  For years we have always opened one present Christmas eve as a fa...
    Spiders vs. Me, Bathroom Battles and Facing Fear Today I am writing about an experience I had this morning in the bathroom as I was preparing for work.  I assume that your bathrooms are equipped like ours with nothing to kill a spider with other than toilet paper.  We don't have a fly swatter, shoes, sticks, etc. to face those mean little creepy crawly critters.  The standoff with these little mean monsters began after I had entered the bathroom to get ready to shower.  As I am getting ready to step into the shower, a mean looking spider about the size of a dime decides to walk across my foot.  Once I realize what it is I panic and about fall over dead right there in the bathroom.  Sorry for the visual but I am in my birthday suit preparing to bath and in no way prepared to face down a spider attack.  So I feel the little monster on my foot and kick as hard as I can, well that worked to get him off my foot, but didn't work so well as my f...

Covid Christmas 2020

This week my wife and I tested positive for the Covid 19 virus and are locked down at home for the Christmas Holidays.  We have been very careful to avoid people, mostly staying at home and using proper protective measures for months.  Our oldest daughter has it also and is stuck in Florida for the Holidays, while our youngest daughter is finishing up her covid lockdown from being positive a few weeks ago.  We have called all the family to advise that we cannot meet with them on Christmas day to eat breakfast, open presents, fellowship and most importantly celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.   This however does not mean that Christmas cannot be just as special because we will get together in a week or so when everything clears up and everyone is well enough to be safe to gather.  This Christmas will be unlike any we have ever experienced with covid lockdowns, infection rates spiking and the need to being safer than ever.  People ar...
