Let go / Hang on …..

​

"Let it go", a popular notion in both Yoga and Buddhism. (Even Disney is taking note of this worthwhile endeavor, think Frozen soundtrack!).

​

However before we can "let go" we have to "hang on", or there would be nothing to let go of.

​

There is something to being able to stay, to not bypass, ignore, and to not be delusional.

​

With our experiences we must be able to really see what is going on, to notice, observe, listen, steep and learn from experiences.

​

And I mean to really learn, like deep gutted learning, like your heart being broken, even a shattering and then to hold that with tenderness, wisdom and compassion.

​

Hang on until what needs to be felt, embodied and processed can be, and then a letting go can perhaps start to occur.
