Some think that letting go is a form of giving up. I believe at some point, you have to let go. Knowing when that moment is, is what matters. In a world where we easily become overwhelmed, I offer this short meditation to remind you that letting go takes only a moment.

Deep breath in and exhale through the mouth.

And again we inhale in deeply and exhale in.

Letting go.

And letting go allows you to soften.

There's an idea again where we let go that we're weakening or surrendering but what makes surrendering a sign of weakness?

Sometimes surrendering takes tremendous amount of courage to know when it's time to let go.

And it doesn't mean that you will try again or that you will not move forward but it means that you take your the opportunity to just let yourself be.

And when we let go the muscles relax and soften.

And that's all we really want.

Is that the muscles are not tense.

Our mind is not busy.

So the thoughts that constantly run through the mind,

We simply want to let them go.

Instead we target into each thought.

Analyze it,

Reanalyze it,

Redigest it,

Replay it,

Fast-forward it,

Go back in time and we don't let it go.

Now yes every thought has maybe the potential of giving you a lesson,

Showing you something that will help you along the way.

So I'm not saying to bypass that or not to address those thoughts but to observe,

Take in what you need and yet still let it go.

There's no need for fast-forward or replay or editing.

Just notice what needs to happen in that thought and let it go.

So that our minds are not busy and overwhelmed so that we can see from each thought what we need to get out of it and then release.

If we're wrapped up in one thing,

We can't move on to the next.

And then we get frustrated,

Angry and all those negative emotions fall into place from just being annoyed to being frustrated to being angry to being hateful to being aggressive.

So we don't want to get to that point.

You want to be able to let go.

So the muscles let go,

The thoughts let go.

And that even goes for the breath because the breath,

The minute something goes not our way,

Notice the shift of the breath.

Or when we get excited or overwhelmed or shocked,

Notice the shift of the breath.

But when we come to the space and we quiet ourselves and we focus on what's happening within us,

We notice the breath changes as well but it becomes longer,

It becomes steadier,

It softens,

It lets go.

So we let go.

And when you begin to see that letting go is far greater a challenge,

Not a weakness,

You give it a little bit more respect,

More attention.

We truly want to let go.

So I really inhale as an opportunity to just draw the breath through the body and your exhales release and let it go.

You just have to be in this space steady still,

Observing.

You just have to be in this space steady still,

Observing.
