Have you ever struggled with an issue?
Wanted to modify a behavior or change a situation only to have it stubbornly remain the same?
Stood at turning point and weren’t sure which way to go?
Change can be scary, hard and take a lot of work or we can learn the fine art of surrender, of letting go of what was so we can allow what will be to happen. Allowing the magic to just happen.
What? Surrender? Let go? How does that facilitate change?
As I write this an old song “This Magic Moment” by the Drifters started playing in my mind. OK, so I am dating myself but that moment we let go magic does happen. Change is just a matter of making a new choice in the moment.
So how do you make that new choice?
Have you ever played tug of war? With people on both sides of a rope you pull as hard as you can. What if one side just lets go? The other side falls down and while they are struggling to get up you are victorious. Change happens. So practice letting go of the old unwanted behavior, don’t fight them just let go.
Try it. See what happens and let me know. I love reading your comments. And of course if you have questions I love answering them as well!
Play with surrender. What thoughts, feelings and successes do you have?
With love and aloha,
Susan
This is crazy wonderful. The thought of how to let go has plagued me all day! For a second I did! Many thanks for your fabulous work! Kathee
I love serendipity, when something shows up at just the right time. Just keep letting go and watch the magic happen.
Smiling with joy, Susan
I always tell my hypnotherapy clients that hypnosis is not about control but about letting go. In fact, I tell them, the more you relax and let go, the more you will find yourself being in control of your life.
I often use guided imagery to accomplish them. I have them board a hot air balloon with every corner of the balloon being held down by a heavy sandbag. To begin flying in the air, they need to release the sandbags. The sandbags in question are labelled as: stress, doubt, old habits and fear. Once these are released, they can fly in the air, gain a new perspective of the world as well as experience a sense of freedom.
Great image Shiva. Thanks for sharing it.
With love, Suaan
This is amazing. Thanks!
Thanks Daniela….
Sending you lots of love and joy,
Susan
I need some direction
I got the emotional neutrality you talk about, no more struggling in my mind, with the help of Eckhart tolle when he says focus your attention in the aliveness of your hands, legs and whole body, breath in breath out
I enjoy that energizing feeling of neutrality whenever I want.
I have it all. The only thing I am short of is money
My question is:
Does emotional neutrality will attract money to me or I need to vibe as if I am already wealthy to attract it (Abraham Hicks)?
Because emotional neutrality seems directionless to me it is delicious but I want to create whatever I want
Napoleon Hills said: To create abundance in you life 80% is mental alignment and 20% physical action
So, can I create just with inner neutrality?
Thanks
Francisco,
Money is just a piece of paper or a bleep over the phone lines. Find something you are passionate about and take action. Create something wonderful and tell the world about it.
Hill was right passion and action. This is one of my favorite quotes…
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!” Hunter S. Thompson
Hope that helps,
Susan
Thanks, your explanation makes me see through a new window,
I rejoice in the new awareness I get. Yes I am skidding and I like it but my mind tells me that I should be like the rest of the people…
Thanks again
Francisco
Hi Susan, You know a couple of days ago I was working with my angel cards while meditating and allowing to just let go of all these issues that I had picked up! Without going into details, I am making moment to moment choices with a future vision slowly unfolding. My partner is, I guess, doing the same and they don’t have to be the ‘same choices’ or indeed ‘a shared vision’ and that is no longer frightening but freeing. There is no point fighting as it’s exhausting, upsetting and stressful so I’ve decided to just let it go. It’s not the same as ‘giving in’ which is dis-empowering. It’s more like standing in your power and choosing another way forward which is empowering. Letting go is surrendering to the power of the universe so that I can co-create something new and exciting. Wow-feeling much better now. Gillian x
You got it Gillian – it is not giving up it is surrendering to the limitless, powerful, loving being we are.
With love,
Susan
