Is there any such thing as the perfect time to let go? When something feels like it is not right any more – whether that be a relationship, business, partnership or lifestyle – sometimes letting go is our best option. Yet, we are often made to feel like the process of letting go is equivalent to failing:
‘If you had made the right decisions in the first place, there would be no need to let go.’
But, how can we learn anything if we don’t take the journey? How can there ever be any wrong decisions in life? The ultimate ‘soular’ pathway for our personality/ego self is to learn how to let go. Letting go of the old and familiar is one of the hardest processes, one that I am continually learning to master and accept.
Whether it was learning to let go of my marriage, to let go of our expected future together as a couple or to let go of the business I had invested so much time and money in – these extremely difficult times taught me that letting go with acceptance through unconditional love is truly the ultimate pathway to God - The Soul's Path.
In life, we find it hard to let go of the familiar parts of our lifestyle, even when those experiences make us upset, confused, anxious, overwhelmed and generally unhappy. This is because of our attachment to those experiences and the expectations surrounding them.
No-one ever gets married with an expectation of divorce.
No-one opens a new business with the vision that it would not succeed.
Both have happened to me.
I am a good person. I know how to manifest with intention, connect with my angels and regularly talk to God (The Infinite Intelligence), so why would these seemingly bad things happen to me? I have asked spirit this question many times.
The answer is easy. I needed to learn to let go with acceptance! My soul requested that I learn to be strong, on my own and in my own power. I learnt this through the process of letting go. Our true happiness cannot come from another person, a business or material wealth. Truth comes from exploring the adventure of life with acceptance, not attachment.
Having the courage to look at your life with honesty is a major step in healing the part of yourself that attaches to your experiences and expectations. I believe the more honest we become and the more aware we are, the more we recognise the importance of letting go. Releasing old belief systems and patterning is an absolute given for all those on this spiritual path. It is as if the universe tests us with continual rites of passage to make sure that we are truly awake in this world.
Many of us on the soulful journey have been tested. Over the past few years, many spiritual teachers and healers I know have broken up from their spouses with little warning, lost money through seemingly wise business decisions and had their lives apparently thrown upside down. It does not sound like a tempting scenario, but this is because we are taught to look directly at life, instead of observing it in its absolute magnificence.
If you were to walk into a movie, about halfway through, stay there for five minutes and then walk out, the scene you watched probably wouldn’t make a lot of sense. That is looking at life and that is what most of us do. When we observe life, we know there is a much bigger picture. There are many scenes making up the ongoing masterpiece called, Your Life.
When we look at the individual scenes of life without observing the full masterpiece, we set ourselves up for unhappiness through a resistance to move on.
What if letting go of a painful marriage meant connecting to your true soul mate?
What if letting go of a tiring business meant having more enjoyable time to do what the universe now intends for you to do?
Even the most gifted psychics can never truly know what is around the corner, or why we have to go down certain pathways to get from ‘A’ to ‘Z’. However, we can know the importance of learning to let go, accept and see life for what it truly is: perfect at all times.
Maria Elita’s tips on letting go!
Know that whatever you are experiencing in your life right now is only temporary.
Life is a continual cycle of birthing new experiences.
When the world seems overwhelming, pause, breathe and reflect inward.
Choose to be around like-minded people who can help you make decisions based on truth rather than fear.
Tune into how your body feels and know that your body has the inability to lie.
If you are feeling anxious, tired and depressed about a situation, your body maybe telling you it is time to let go.
When making the decision to let go, do so without expectation.
Allow acceptance to flood the situation.
If these still decisions feel too difficult, talk it over with a friend, visit a respected psychic, a healer or seek help from a soul coach.
Remember, there is no such thing as a wrong decision.
