Letting go…

As I sit on this warm Tuesday morning, the slow pace of the day moves on.  

The wind sounds like the ocean today, rolling in closer and getting louder as it comes near. It is like the tide washing away the dust and cleaning the air. Like the tides of our life, I can’t determine it all.  

This voice, so calm and relaxing. Directing me to let go of all that is holding me back including fear, doubt, anger/resentments, and greed and desire.  Moving forward cutting these cords will lie freedom, understanding, and smooth floating. What am I here to protect, what am I here to honor and what has brought me here to this earth?  

Learning to let go and accept. The past is just a story of memories concocted for our understanding. Use the breath to let go of what isn’t serving us.  

Acceptance is a hard lesson to grasp, easier said than done. I repeat myself this week with several clients that acceptance is the only way to hold things that are outside our circle of control. One had tears, one just sat and stared at me.  “Easier said than done”, I repeat softly to others. Practice makes perfect.  Very good. Keep practicing. Sitting, being present in your body from your fingertips to your toes.  

Letting go is not an easy one for anyone. Acceptance is work and letting go is part of the journey.
