Maybe it’s Time to Let Go of That Rotting Carcass-Bomb of Pain
Let's talk about LETTING GO.
And what it realllllllyyyy meeeeannns, in the simplest, most obvious, easy-to-understand terms, to actually let something go. YOU READY?!
"Letting it go" = When you think about that thing, there's no longer any ugly, emotional charge around it.
When you think about that thing, you feel neutral.
Spacious. At ease. Open.
Peaceful, calm...relaxed, even.
There isn't this insta-flood of resentment, or regret, or hurt, or rage, or "THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED, THIS IS NOT OKAY, I'LL NEVER BE OKAY!" exploding inside you.
When you really let it go, you've defused the dead, rotting, carcass-bomb of historic super-ouchy that has been haunting you.
"LETTING GO" means "I AM AT PEACE WITH THIS THING". It's actually okay. Whatever happened, I'm not fighting with it anymore.
Doesn't that sound nice?!
To be able to think about your past, or some old thing that's always bothered you, or that really awful thing that happened to you once, and you actually feel...okay and easy-breezy about it?
Yeah! Of course that sounds nice! Supposedly, it's what we all want!
That's what we're aiming for with all these damn sound baths and cacao circles and embodiment rituals and EMDR sessions and Joe Dispenza retreats and all this healing shit!!
But here's what's really funny about us humans:
We like the idea of letting things go. (The meteoric popularity of Elsa's anthem from "Frozen" surely confirmed that.)
But often, when we actually start getting into it, and diving into the "letting go" process, and really toying with the idea that we could really truly be over it...
People get REAL FUCKIN' WEIRD and CAGEY and EXTRA PROTECTIVE over their ROTTING CARCASS-BOMBS OF PAIN.
I am "people" in this situation too -- I've gone full "Weekend at Bernie's" with my past pain, dragging it around with me for decades like a champion stage-5 clinger.
Because...the pain...the anger...the super-ouchy...all that crunchy emotional charge...isn't it important? Aren't I JUSTIFIED in how I feel? Isn't all this pain and upset a big part of WHO I AMMM?
I mean, I dunno.
I guess it depends on what's most important, to you.
Feeling free and at peace in your life?
Or maintaining a state of despair over every awful, horrible, unforgivable thing that's ever happened to you?
Over the past few months I'm happy to share that I've been moving through THICCCCK LAYERS of old pain and hurt, and deciding what's most important to me.
And I decided (notice I keep using that word, specifically), that I really can't carry this shit around anymore.
I am so done. Surrendered. Over it. Whatevs!
So I've been neutralizing it. Piece by piece. Little by little. And letting it go.
This is the center of what I'll be diving into in The Liberated Heart open workshop tomorrow.
Remembering that we have every right, and all the permission in the world, to free ourselves from whatever gunky garbage we've been carting around, and decide that ultimately our freedom, peace, and sense of future possibility is more important.
Now, let's have some real talk: This is but a 3-hour virtual workshop.
I'm not saying you're gonna hop on a Zoom call with me tomorrow afternoon and by 4pm EST you'll be in the total FREE AND CLEAR as far as your trauma and wounding goes. It would be absurd for me to promise that.
But I'll tell ya what, we're gonna have some fucking fun getting the ball rolling in the right direction.
And getting clear on the shifts that need to be made (especially on an embodied level) to GET FREED THE FUCK UPPPP, HONEY!

If you're ready, if you're done, if you're oooover ittttttt -- I hope to see you there.
