In the shift of Human Consciousness, we often talk about 'letting go'.
But what does that really mean?
How do we truly let go?
In the work that I do, I often find there's a subtle inner programing that makes people want to avoid challenging and difficult circumstances. To me, truly 'letting go' is a continual process of confrontation of the moment and surrendering into what we really feel.
Acceptance and resistance
Another term that often gets used in spiritual circles is that of 'acceptance' - accepting totally without reservation. I agree with this whole-heartedly, but what actually IS appearing on your consciousness?
Some will say "if it doesn't feel right, then don't do it. If it doesn't flow, then it can't be coming from the soul. So just let go and do something else."
But sometimes to be in the flow is for nothing to be flowing at all.
It could be that resistance in the field is exactly what we need to discover a new surface of our own being.
Synchronicity and the natural pull of the soul
What I mean by this is that sometimes, synchronicity and the natural pull of the soul, doesn't take us into the 'good' places without first confronting the 'bad' - that which makes us tight and close down. Because it is only through this inner confrontation that we expand, evolve and grow.
I recently went through some personal challenges. And believe me, it was no picnic - but I knew that I was going through some kind of shift for me to grow and experience.
If you want to be courageous, pray for situations that require courage
If you want to be forgiving, pray for situations that cause you to forgive
If you want to be expanded and light, pray for situations that are dark and close down.
To be truly free, we must confront that which takes our freedom away,
for it is only us that truly determine how we experience life.
Profound self-honesty
For me, it was like a puzzle that I wanted to solve as quickly as possible. What I found was that there was a sense of relevance to what was going on within my soul.
There's a knowing of when we're truly aligned. And when we're in the flow of the 'relevance', then synchronicity just clicks into place, supporting our actions. But on the other hand, the flow will take us into the places where we get stressed out and we end up going to a place that don't feel so good.
It's all about profound self-honesty. When we're being truly honest with ourselves, we know what the soul is really inviting us to do and we know when we're in avoidance - our actions just don't feel right...even (and especially) if everything feels easy.
Courage
Having the courage to confront the moment as it truly is, to accept what is appearing on our energy field, then to go deeply into the feelings that arise.
These feelings may be very dense, dark and unpleasant. Nevertheless, to truly clear the energy and evolve past it, we must go into it, feel it again and liberate that aspect of our soul, which is identifying with it.
The remarkable lesson is that when we truly do this, it is not that hard to process the energy. And with this wholeness, there usually follows amazing expansions, infusions of healing energy, and the sense of enlightenment.
To me, this is what it truly means to let go.
May peace and joy be with you!
