How to let go
When the fear of letting go is greater than the pain we are experiencing, we hold on.
We grin and bear it.
We complain.
We feel righteous.
We feel trapped. We feel hurt and exhausted.
We complain about feeling hurt and exhausted.
But we don’t let go.
We say we can’t.
Sometimes we say we won’t, and you can’t make us!
Nobody really enjoys being in this state, but it is often hard to change it. There are grooves in our brain, and sometimes karmic grooves in our energy body, that just keep repeating.
The only reliable way of shifting out of this particular pattern that I’ve ever found is (a) repeat it until you really are tired enough to be done with it, i.e. exhaust your ego, which is the source of your resistance (b) ask Spirit for help. (Seriously, I’ve done all kinds of different healing work and this is literally the only strategy that consistently works).
But you have to mean it. You have to be ready to let go. Spirit will not rip it out of your hands, because the lesson is to let go of your own free will. You wouldn’t learn anything if you got rescued from it. The growth here is getting to the point where you are genuinely done, and then making a choice.
If you are ready, then these are literally magic prayers:
- I intend to see the truth of this situation
- I want to see the truth more than I want to keep my attachments
- I don’t know how to let go, but I am willing to
- I am ready to let go of this pattern; please show me how
