Childhood Memories Yank the Heartstrings

Memories Live in Our Hearts

Childhood memories and mementos. We never know what items and memories from our past will be useful for keeping track of and keeping close to our heart. Some will stand out as truly significant and can when we recognize their profound effect on our well-being. On the other hand, we may find out that what we thought was important is something that bogged us down and got in our way of moving forward.

I discovered in my journey down memory lane that there were a few items and recollections that I needed to let go. But I’m blessed to say that the vast majority were happy and pleasant, and I see them as important to hold in my heart.

Childhood Memories and Mementos Don’t Just Live in Boxes; They Fill Our Hearts

My visit with my Minnesota family is continuing to pull on my heart strings even when I’m back at home. The mementos that I brought back with me are probably a big part of that!
But there is one particular item that I opted not to bring home with me that darn near brought me to tears. When I opened one of the boxes that my mom had hauled down from the attic, I discovered that it was full of dolls and stuffed animals, some of which were in pretty bad shape. It was sad to let them go when I had just rediscovered them. But my first baby doll was a keeper. Her face and eyes were even perfect. I set her aside to so I could pack her into a box for shipping. But I had a rude awakening. When I picked her up to wrap her for packing, she started falling apart in my hands.

Acupressure points to help with transition

Do you have anything you are ready to let go of but you could use some assistance in doing so? Here are a few energy balance points that can help you create new patterns and new ways of doing and being.

  • Hold little fingers
  • Cup right hand over left shoulder,
    Hold left hand at left groin area
    Then sit on left hand (still holding shoulder)
  • Cup left hand over right shoulder
    Hold right hand at right groin area
    Then sit on right hand (still holding shoulder)

To make that transition an easier one by releasing the tension around the old pattern (e.g., throat tension and jaw tightness, “holding” the breath)

  • Right hand – cup sternum directly below clavicle
  • Left hand – hold fingertips in a vertical pattern below the navel

Enjoy your journey down memory lane!
