Letting Go

How do we let go?

Yesterday I had a session with Shaman, it was my first Mayan astrology reading and Mayan oracle reading. Before we started our session we sat on her porch in hammocks, getting to know one another. I knew going into the session I wanted to figure out what was blocking me, I’ve been feeling blocked the past few months.

My tears flowed as I recounted the actions I had to roll out while working at Esalen, laying people off during a global pandemic, essentially evicting people from their homes, even people with children. Feeling the resentment, feeling the loss of my voice during that time. It was one of the most challenging moments in my career.

As our session continued, I learned the day I am born on in Mayan astrology is the day of the warrior, and in this life I am to learn to let go of the battles, and of the actions taken during battle. That life is little bit harder for me in that aspect, as I face many challenges.

I noticed myself trying to pinpoint exactly what it is that I need to let go of to move forward. This morning I came to the conclusion that I have to let go of all the past versions of myself, to finally shed that skin. To move forward to the next chapter, it’s time to let go.

But how do we let go? For me, I seek out energy work. My spirituality is working with Shamans and Medicine People. As I continue my work, I’ll be sure to journal the process. In the meantime I’d love to hear how you let go of what no longer serves you.
