I can hear Paul McCartney’s voice in my head as I write this…“Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.” There will be an answer, let it be.”
Honestly, I’ve never really thought much about this song over the years the numerous times I’ve heard it, although there it is drilled into my memory deep enough to invoke the emotion coming through Paul’s voice…albeit in my head…
Until recently, I had never really taken the words to his famous lyrics in any other way but a touching story about his dead mother who came to him in a dream and shared this little tidbit of wisdom with him. I always took it in the tone of not stirring the pot, saving face, and picking your battles, which is absolutely all part of the “Let It Be” I’m going to get into in a bit.
However, I’m going to go a bit deeper, a bit farther down the proverbial rabbit hole of our minds to see just how much letting things be, how accepting the
moment and all that is as is without judgment actually allow a space to be created for exactly what we want to come into creation.
Let me explain…
It is when we hold tight to things in such fear of losing them that there is sometimes literally no room to breathe, and therefore no room for creative expression to emerge. So, in reality holding tightly often times is the very cause of something falling away from us. We never really “lose” anything. We simply experience lessons we choose to learn from (wins) or not (what we’d call losses), but the moment you accept and acknowledge the lesson, you have won.
You see, the physical body is designed to either be in a state of creation or protection. You cannot be in both states at once and if you are constantly worrying or stressed our about things, you are triggering the cells within your body to always be in “protection mode”. What does this mean? This means that you are not giving your cells the ample time they need to create new cells without themselves being stressed the f*ck out! 🙂
Thanks to the work of amazing minds like Cellular Biologist, Dr. Bruce Lipton, we now know that we are not controlled by our genes, but rather that our genes are controlled by the environment. This fact alone has opened the potential door that could finally link the bond of science and spirituality as we learn more and more about the energy that drives our thoughts, human consciousness, and how to apply these facets of awareness in a new, workable way that enables the individual to recognize their place holistically within the collective.
I believe the reason we tend to hold onto things so much is that we might feel invalidated. Like something that matters to us, or even something we just might think matters to us, went unnoticed. Something we said went unheard. Something we did went unseen. Some gesture was unappreciated or some effort was not reciprocated. Whatever the case might be, what we can all agree on is that what we can find in every single one of these situations are expectations.
Now, I’m not saying it’s alright to walk around always feeling like a doormat with no self-esteem or confidence. By all means, we all deserve to feel good about ourselves and feel appreciated, loved, noticed, cared for, cared about, heard, seen etc.
My question is (and I speak to myself here as well)…you do realize that to EVER…no really…to EVER get this reflected back to you from the world in a truthful, genuine way, you will ALWAYS have to feel that way about yourself first and foremost. Because only until you can look in the mirror with loving eyes, a forgiving heart, and a soul that desires to express itself and growth into its greatness, you honestly cannot see those things in another. As my awesome mentor, Derek Rydall always says, “What’s missing is what you’re not giving.” If you are always expecting others to “fill you up” so to speak, you will continually feel empty.
How we draw to us what we want most in life, although it does sound every bit counter-intuitive, is to step into the feeling of it; ya literally gotta vibe as if you are already it. For example, say you have been fighting these feelings of jealousy because the neighbor just bought this rad new motorcycle you had your eye on. You might focus on your feelings and start to resent him. But what if there was something else you could do?
If WE were the version of ourselves NOW that already had the motorcycle we wanted too, how would we feel THEN? A bit differently wouldn’t we? So, let’s imagine what we have to to get to that feeling. Feel the wind in your hair; see yourself cleaning the shiny chrome… And then hold that vibration in your mind. FEEL like that person and you will become that person. We must first be in resonance with anything that comes to us. If we are not in resonance, it cannot come to us.
This is not an obsessive holding, but rather a simple knowing. Like how the truth of saying your own name flows in your existence. It just sits with you. There are things you can make sure are in check as your manifesting, like that you are keeping an open mind and not being too hard on yourself or others. Let the Universe work its magic.
And some parting words of wisdom what to do with the actual wanting, the idea of how it will come, what it will look like, who will bring it, etc…
LET IT BE. 🙂
