A few years ago in a conversation with a woman who turned out to have blind dated my ex (after we were exed!), I had an epiphany about my inner vision of money. In this picture, I was like Kilroy pining after the riches on the other side of a thick wall. (I related this story in an earlier post, but I think it bears repeating because of the deep lessons I am still unlearning.)
After being smote with this sad image, I had another bloom in my mind's eye--this one was of the wall transforming into a very BIG dam in front of an even bigger reservoir.
I have spent a lot of time in the past months imaging on that dam and the reservoir and the streams and rivers that feed the reservoir.
UNlearning that inner image was a deep lesson that connected to all kinds of myths, personal histories, and assumptions about money.
The most basic one for me was that I was not a person who would or could receive money/riches/abundance in any form.
And undeRstanding that this image, expectation, basic deep belief was in my mind's eye literally set in stone in the form of a BIG STONE WALL, was one of the most profound UNlearnings.
I began 
thinking about walls and all they can do for us beyond separating us from what we want and need, besides being barriers to abundance, wealth, good health and love.
WALLS can:
- Protect from attack
- Have magical properties with magical openings
- Can be high or low
- Be beautiful to provide structure and definition
- Contain--water, gardens
- Retain--shore up and strengthen and support and hold up structures and information
- Guide in dim light
- Safe enclosures
- Provide borders between
Walls then are a very good thing and much needed. This I have firmly in mid. 
What is not so clear is RECEIVING the contents of the reservoir that my VERY BIG DAM is retaining.
In your life--what do you need to UNlearn? What is a deep lesson that you learned at an early or vulnerable stage of life that is preventing you from some desired end or state?
Mine now is to UNlearn not receiving and RElearn to receive--love, abundance, health, long life.
In terms of health...I am UNlearning laziness. Here's a simple tip for you. Keep a set of small hand weights in the bathroom. Do several sets of exercises during the day. I have been doing 3 sets of 10--biceps, flys and triceps everyday for the past several weeks. Makes it very easy and since the weights are right there on the floor beside me, I am reminded to do these quick repetitions. Remember brain plasticity--the hallmark of a "young" brain is building new neurons and exercise is a key method to doing so.
