Guest Post by Charlene Happel…

When “letting go” shows up on my to-do list, the idea auto-starts an old tape inside my head…“but won’t I need that?”  I usually mean “need” in the sense of needing a very important organ, like the heart, the brain, etc.

I’m pretty sure I’m gonna NEED that.

So, it will come as no surprise that this particular mindset of letting go initiates resistance.  You know, the kind of resistance that is spelled in all caps – RESISTANCE.  Up go the roadblock, a brick wall, and the barrier stronger than all known blasting elements in this universe.  Our well-intended action item of letting go has now generated enough resistance to propel a rocket into space.

Now What?

Well, I propose an alternative perspective.  Maybe the releasing is actually giving you something rather than taking something away. Maybe, you are giving yourself a sensational gift, the gift of liberation from the cords that bind you.  When you think of it as abandonment, then the cords feel like lifelines.  The fear translates into, if I cut these cords, I will have no lifelines.  I will be isolated.  Now you have a logical reason to NOT let go.  If I let go I will be isolated AND missing a key thing that I need to survive.  We now believe that letting go = isolation (death).

Why was I supposed to let go again?

Enter a new prospective…

Your natural state is to be without cords, to be liberated, to be free. So what to do? Cut the cords and know that you are not meant to have cords.  You are meant to be free.

The real truth is that these parts or pieces, anything you still need or that is part of your highest good, will come back to you.  Not only will it come back to you, but also it will come back in the way that serves you now.  From this perspective, we realize that we are binding ourselves with cords from the past.  Those cords that we thought were lifelines, tie us to a frame of reference that no longer exists.  While these parts may have been perfect in some other moment, it was a moment that has past.  We may still need these parts, but we don’t need them from a moment that has past, we need them in the moment that is now.  In order for that to happen, they can’t be bound to us and we cannot be bound to them.

So, we cut our cords and as we let go, we are free and those parts that are meant to come back to us will come back in forms that are perfect for this moment.  So, I invite you to let go, be free, be present, and be who you are meant to be now.  If you take up this invitation, know that I am right there with you.

With you as my witness, I’m cutting cords and choosing liberation.  I choose to be free.
