How to Practice “Letting Go”

Q: How Exactly Do You ‘Let Go’?

A: Clinch your fist and your face and your whole body really really tight and then just let it go.

The transition from the separated state to Unity feels exactly like this.

Most people spend their entire lives walking around clinching their minds and hearts so tight that they don’t even know they’re doing it, which leads to their bodies being extremely tense.

Find the clusters of solidity in your body-mind that contracts, grasps, or clings and stay with it until it dissolves into ________

When you let go of that constant clinching, You return to the Natty State - Vast, boundless, timeless, and spontaneous.

A deep quality of silence.

It feels like flipping yourself inside out.

Without dissolving the physical center (thinker/observer/doer) through rigorous hours of concentration training and body scanning, it’s nearly impossible to truly let go and relax without practice.

Because there are too many lenses of perceptions, traumas, and conditionings that get in the way.

The more you can contract, the more you can expand.

Your psychological center gets untangled through dissolving all your traumas and emotional attachments.

When you’re in the state everything happens on its own. Where even imperfections are perfect.

Any sense of control or trying to change anything other than what is already happening Now will cause contraction and separation.

Letting Go in the Breath

Another example is the contraction vs. the expansion part of the breath.

Take a deep breath and bring attention to focus on the sensations of your nostrils.

Then on the exhale completely let go and surrender.

The out breath is the letting go breath.

Notice the effortlessness and the ease as you let go of the breath, as your body gives up it’s life force in order to draw a new breath in.

Breathing is an exchange with the whole fabric of existence.

With each in breath you receive the universe.

On the out breath you give yourself up to it AS It

Like a little push pushy in the bushhh

Is it really an exchange from the interior to the exterior when there is no outside and inside?

The inner world is limitless, and the outer world is also limitless.
