Letting Go and Allowing

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Have you ever been in a place in life where everything just flowed, everything just seemed to happen as it was meant to? You felt peaceful inside, very connected with yourself and others,  and whatever you needed just seemed to appear?

Most of us have experienced this at various points in our lives even if only briefly but have you ever wondered why you cannot be like this more of time? Well this state of being is what I call “letting go and allowing” and the good news is that “letting go and allowing” is all we need to do to get back to this blissful state.

Let me explain more….Take yourself back to a time in your life when you felt you were struggling.  I’d like you to get in touch with how you were thinking and acting.  Would you agree that in this moment you were wanting things to be different than they were? Would you agree that in this moment you were trying to force things to be how you wanted them to be and not allowing them to just BE? The answer to this question is always Yes!  You see all suffering comes from attachment, being attached to a specific outcome. You are saying to yourself that I cannot be happy unless things are a certain way, but this is a mistruth. You see in any given moment you have a choice, a choice as to whether you experience happiness or not. True happiness always comes from within not from without.

So today let go of wanting things to be a certain way. Accept all that is happening in your life right now and just allow. Be like water, be in the peaceful flow of life, and like a river gracefully and gently flows around any obstacles in its path you too can do the same.  And all you need to do is Let Go and Allow!
