Yesterday at sunset and under the New Moon, I allowed myself to let go.
We don’t realise how much we’re holding onto until we give ourselves permission to let go.
Yesterday I took part in a Melukat, a Balinese cleansing ceremony to help me release and wash away the things that are holding me back and no longer serving my highest good.
The emotions, the stories, the hurt, the weight of everything I didn’t realise I was carrying.
I cried, I screamed, I allowed myself to feel everything and be present with it.
Every emotion I had pushed down, avoided, or tried to be “strong” through, I allowed it to move through me instead.
I had been avoiding this ceremony for months. The beautiful healer who I see, and who I take all our retreat guests to see, had been telling me to do this ceremony for ages.
The longer I avoided it, the more things started to build up. To the point where I couldn’t avoid it anymore.
Uncomfortable and scary? Yes! I was so nervous. 😬
Transformational? Absolutely!💯
When we’re brave enough to truly feel what we’ve been suppressing, often unconsciously, we begin to free ourselves from our self imposed cage.
When we loosen our grip on pain.
When we release anger, sadness and resentment and we stop carrying what was never ours to carry, we find freedom.
This is a practice I return to again and again.
Each time I do this, I’m able to access deeper parts of myself.
Each time, I remember more clearly who I am and why I’m here.
The practice of letting go is something I support women through on retreat.
And I will never ask someone to go deeper than I am willing to go myself.
And when we do give ourselves that permission, life opens up in ways you never imagined possible because we start aligning ourselves with what we truly want.
A big part of how I got to where I am today, is believing in myself enough to take that next step, however scary it may feel. ❤️
