The hardest part is letting go. It’s the not knowing if the cup needs to be filled or emptied. How could we know?
I’ve heard some teachers say that when you have to ask the question on whether to hold on or let go, that’s your cue. That’s the most gentle of ways to find out. It’s time.
Maybe its a feeling. Maybe its a thought. God, I hope it’s not your relationship, but if abuse is involved you absolutely know.
Sometimes we tell ourselves lies. Lies like, “We are not good enough”. Lies like, “It’s not that bad”. Or even a lie that says “I’m not patient enough”. When in fact, its not that you (we’re ) not. Its the fact that we don’t apply it enough.
Letting go could take a couple of hours, days or even years. But when we finally do, we make room for love. We make room for all that helps us grow into the best version of ourselves.
When we finally let go we experience freedom.
Letting go takes a level of honesty most of us refuse to face. When we do this, we are only setting ourselves back from fresh air and the beautiful sunshine. Between you and I, I’m not one of those Yogis that says “It’s all sunshines and namaste” I believe it can be.
But we live in a world where we must fight. And though we may not fight with fist or weapons, we must fight with grace and our minds. Not in a sense to beat another human or another being. In the sense we must gently, quietly, and patiently fight those thoughts that keep up captive to the thing or emotion that make it soooo hard to let go.
Today we had a meditation session on letting go. The session started at 6:30am CT on the app called Insight Timer. The app is free and people from all over the world join in. I’ll be going live every Friday of this month. The topics are saved in the events tabs here.
It’s an invitation to be part of the community where we strive to be just a little better physically, mentally and emotionally. Plus there are several other teachers you may want to meet and expirience.
Thank you for the love and support.
Thank you to the Crosby Community and the Center.

“The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward”
