The Art Of Letting Go
As an energy healer, I think one of the key aspects to sadness is a refusal of letting go. You cannot expect to feel joy if you are over burdened with the heaviness of yesterday.
We can only hold so much, kind of like a cup. If our cup is full of old moldy water, then adding a couple droplets of clean fresh water doesn’t do much. We need a clean cup full of fresh water.
Letting go is a practice as every day brings new opportunities to get attached.
When we sit & think about water in it’s natural form: it’s always moving.
A droplet of snow melting to become the river, to find the sea, to evaporate into the clouds that rain down on the mountain tops.
It’s a cycle that’s always in motion.
Letting go is the process of becoming more like water.
How can we learn to flow more smoothly?
Which thought patterns did we pick up from youth that are no longer serving us?
How often are we listening to our worst fear vs our highest hopes?
Anything that is holding us down or keeping us feeling heavy - can be let go of.
We have a choice as to what we want to drag with us in this life time.
Wishing for more love? Then we have to let go of all of our fears around it.
Tired of scarcity? Then we need to relearn all the abundance that surrounds us.
You can’t really manifest without letting something go (at least in the beginning of this journey).
