you do know that the past isn't happening now and it has no effect - unless you allow it to???

I know you know that.

release is a lot about accepting the truth of this statement ^above, you know it, you know that you know it because you've learned it, but actually holding it as a true belief and letting go is a tougher thing to do.

* I like to use, "I remember when".... "I remember when life was difficult, but now it flows" "I remember when I had no money, now I have more than I can ever spend".
