A good way to release the need for control is by “letting it be”—a spiritual practice highlighted in Paul McCartney’s inspirational song of the same title. Simply saying to ourselves, “Let it be,” informs the brain that we have entered a no judgment zone which allows us to drop into our heart. In this heart space, we can let go of our attachment to a person, situation, or outcome and any associated negativity. The practice of “letting it be,” encourages compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance of our own and others’ soul journeys. It also allows us to trust the divine unfolding of our lives by leading with our hearts as they whisper words of wisdom.
Letting it be assists you to compassionately detach from any expected result. Having expectations of yourself, others, or any situation leads to disappointment. Your attachment to a specific outcome often keeps an even better outcome from manifesting. When you are locked within certain perimeters of expectation, you miss the myriad of possibilities waiting for you. Even though your expectations may be positive, you nevertheless impede the flow of energy by focusing on specific outcomes instead of trusting that you will receive exactly what you need for your personal transformation.
However, letting go of any specific outcome allows you to be in a state of expanded awareness. In this highly aware state, you can more easily recognize the negative reactions from the broader perspective of your soul’s journey.
Here are several ways to practice “Letting It Be.”
1. Practice letting it be by focusing on your own life instead of micromanaging others. Encourage yourself to live without judging your present situation or resenting past ones. Shift your focus to the perspective of your soul, seeing yourself and others as the magnificent light beings you truly are.
2. Practice letting it be to release any judgment toward others people and their choices. You cannot know another’s soul journey, even when that person is as close to you as a child or spouse. Accept that whatever choices they make are part of their divine path no matter what they look like at the time.
3. Practice letting it be by letting go of things or events in your life that not going as planned. When you let go of any expectations, outcomes, or plans, you will feel less disappointment and more peace. Allow things to be as they are without resistance. Breathe and let it all be.
4. Practice letting it be by letting go of being in control and trust that while like inevitably attracts like, it does so in keeping with its own divine timing. Your task is simply to sustain the flow of love without conditions, which conferring many blessings and benefits, among them the potential to manifest our dreams.
Release the control that you think you have over others and focus on yourself. Let go of things or events in your life that not going as planned. Trust the divine unfolding of your life even if it’s not as you expected. When you let go of any expectations, outcomes, or plans, you will feel less disappointment and more peace. Allow things to be as they are without resistance.Breathe and let it all be.
