The Philosophy Behind Letting Go
Letting Go activates the metacognitive process of re-evaluation. It invites you to witness your attachments—not as failures or flaws—but as imprints ready to evolve. In this visualization, you’ll use metaphor, imagery, and breath to release them.You might see the thing you’re letting go of as a balloon, a cloud, or a heavy stone. You’ll watch it drift, float, or dissolve, and with it, experience a release in the body and mind.Letting go isn’t passive. It’s a practice of courageous surrender—and in that surrender, healing accelerates.
