can letting go be easy?

Dear Listeners,Despite some delays in getting my episodes out in February, here we are at the start of a new month, with fresh energy moving. I usually like to do an end-of-the-month recap but even by March 1 (when I recorded this episode) it seemed that February was long gone. And thank goodness for that! I am coming at you from Mazunte, Mexico where I have escaped the worst of New York winter and am now taking refuge in this small beach town. As I open to this new place, and allow this place to open to me, I am with a sudden and obvious realization that “letting go” requires relaxation. And no, I don’t mean relaxing by getting a sun tan on the beach (although that certainly can help), but more-so relaxing into the unknown. When we hold onto something (particularly our burdens), we embody a quality of tension in order to bear its weight. If there’s fear there will likely too be a feeling of tightening, closing, bracing, hypervigilance, and tension. It might seen counter-intuitive to hold onto the things that give us pain, but more often than not, what we fear more is what happens when we let go? Who am I now without this pain? In this episode I explore the topic of letting go in depth:* creating space between you and your pain* letting go through relaxing* changing your perception through somatic awareness* fear of your emotions* going into the darkness* having fun is the pointMay this Pisces and upcoming eclipse season give us the courage to relax into the unknown and release what is no longer ours to hold. 🌊🐠🐬🪼Thank you for being here.
