Held in Spirit, not “in irons”
When we break the mesmeric hold of popular belief and become conscious of divine reality, healing happens.
Do you know how sailboats stop without brakes? Sailors head directly into the wind. With no angle to the breeze, sails flap, and momentum is lost. This is known as being “in irons.”
When learning to sail, it’s not surprising to find ourselves inadvertently stalled or stuck in irons. But practice brings a growing understanding of sailing principles as well as fearless dominion and the ability to avoid or shift out of irons with ease.
If we feel thwarted at every turn—dismissed, detained, disturbed, denied—we may feel stuck in irons. Perhaps we’re facing financial strain, or health issues that refuse to budge, or we’re fazed by fear and injustice. But for every problem that seems to limit or restrict us, there is a spiritual solution.
