The Power of Letting Go Times 10

Letting go is an essential to recovery! Learn how to take advantage of an integrative healing approach to letting go.

Let Go

I call it the most essential recovery piece, given our cultural woundedness, for integrative healing.  Here are, in no particular order, my top 10 results of being willing to let go:

1.   You disentangle

2.   You transcend power struggles

3.   You evolve

4.   You have proof that you can – and do – survive

5.   You separate from your wounded ego

6.   You free your intuition and tremendous authentic spirit to well advise you

7.   You take a breather

8.   You experience a different universe

9.   You experience reality beyond agenda

10.  You are fully present in mindfulness

The How-to

B-R-E-A-T-H-E.  Settle back now, open your body’s position so your body is free from tension, relaxed and supported, and begin counting ten (today’s magic number) full, deep, easy breaths.

Now say . . . each and every time you inhale . . . this phrase . . . let be . . . each and every time you exhale . . . let go.

Experience . . . detachment.  Float, in the endless, opening space of your free consciousness, en-joy . . .

To Shift

Slowly, easily return to full, waking consciousness, and open your eyes.  Now, continuing to enjoy this space you’ve created of being detached, write in your own journal the above "top ten" list, changing all the "you’s" to "I’s" – and then go back and complete each sentence through your present experience of letting go.

Then choose, as you are moved, in any and all aspects of your present life with whatever corresponding challenges are occurring.  See what happens, and resolve to once a day – or more! – let go.

  1. It was wonderful and allowed me to just take it easy and rest. I took a long nap and didn’t do what I thought I had to do. I just let go. I didn’t get much done but that was ok because I needed the rest. However, the next day I found all sorts of inspiration that I needed to do all the things I thought I had to do. It changed the “had to do” into “fun to do” and “get to do”. Gratitude! For everything.

  3. Hi Maggi – I’m sorry your lovely post got lost in an email glitch that took a while to straighten out going all the way back to the end of the end of the summer – just now surfaced, which is pretty disturbing to me. How nice to hear from you! Please try to email me again and/or call me at 585-244-6210. I would love to catch up and hear more about how you’re doing. Love and light, Marjorie

  4. Hi Kelli – I’m glad this helped you to “take a breather”, with such excellent results! Very much appreciate your sharing with others how well you utilize these suggestions to so powerfully support yourself. Keep going, and keep in touch – Love and light, Marjorie
