The secret of letting go
The burdens we hold on to can be dead weight in our lives, and anyone who has carried a burden in life will know the feeling: 'I want to let it go, but I can't'.
We know in ourselves that it does no good to carry old weight, but everyone comes with baggage, and just like a tree doesn't drop fruit until it is ripe, the crosses we bear have to mature before we're done with them.
If it is a choice and just let it go - that isn't a burden.
If it is a burden, it's ingrained deeper. The mind ruminates on it, be it a grudge, a betrayal, an injustice, shame or whatever it is that weights you down. Usually the mind flounders in confusion and anguish because it doesn't understand it properly.
It's a mess that keeps churning until it starts to unravel and make more sense to you, and with that wisdom gained, it just seems lighter, and you no longer care much if you carry it or leave it behind. It's not thrown aside, because going through it was transformative and profound, but at the moment you get it, appreciate it for what it is, and leave it to be as it is easily, is the moment you release it. It will most probably remain part of you, but no longer weighs on you. You see it all clearly, and you are free from that burdensome affect.

A thread on this seems very needed. Good.:)
I have my 'method' that started in Jan 2006. I practiced it for 2 weeks like homework,
an experiment and then never stopped!! LOL 
What a relief ---no cares - freedom!! (My friends were very happy! And still are.)
I had a LOT of burdens back then - worry, fears, anxiety, regret are heavy burdens!
All gone.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

I was told many moons ago that what ever you carry on your back
is a dead weight that should be left for someone else to Discard for you
A guide if you believe in Jesus leave it at their feet.
You will never be free unless it is gone,
And with freedom comes growth
Namaste

Yes! I agree with that!
Lately also, I had this impression or life lesson that we all carry something for someone else, what is a dead weight for me can be the food or a message for someone else.
So, sometimes it feels like others put weights on us, or we feel drained by others,
but that's also our role as part of a group, some people want/desire answers
and they need to be delivered in some way. |

If I drop a friend, for me, it is never because of one thing....
there's a 'straw that breaks the camel's back'.
Then something happens and it's the last straw, it just takes the cake as they say.
Don't know if that can help you to understand.

Gem has hot the nail on the head, that burdens cannot be cast aside, i know mine cant. My partner has had two deep brain tumours removed, and is seriously depressed.
Her functioning in all ways is compromised, i cant cast it aside.
What i can do, and the word has not been mentioned, is too accept it, the burden carries no, or little weight now. Ive stopped trying to make things better and go with the flow, its better for her too.
No more banging my head against a brick wall emotionally and physically. I do it all the time, no rumination about anything, or self reproach, self reproach is bad.
Even going to the shops and making bad jokes to the cashier, saying the wrong thing, putting housework off, being lazy, eating rubbish, forgetting to do something.etc, speaking your mind...etc
All forgiven, accepted in a second, its being your own best mate.

Live like a child who will be very happy with a lollipop and forget about the unhappy thing even one minute ago.
