Have you every desired something SO much but found it almost impossible to “let go and let God” as everyone suggests?

Then this post is for you!

I am going to share 2 ways to practise the art of letting go and letting God. One is a mindset shift and the other is advice that I bet you’ve not heard before. (Psst…it a theme here on The Elegant Life:)

January is a month where everyone is focused on goals, dreams and DOING.

Plans are made, goal are being set, memberships to gyms are being bought, and the focus is on pursuing, trying and desperately wanting their desire to manifest.

I know this pattern well as it was my “go-to” strategy my whole life! Set a goal, make a plan, push, pursue, obsess…you get the picture! The energy I was giving off was one of desperation and lack – not very elegant and definitely not a high frequency for manifesting!

This is completely opposite from what I do now and teach my clients to do.

And…this is exactly what Buddha did before he experienced enlightenment and true happiness.

Many people know the story of how Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree and awakened, however not many people know WHY he ended up sitting under that tree. He was in the same trap I was in and perhaps you find yourself too?

Watch the video above, at minute 2:54, to hear the real reason Buddha sat under the bodhi tree.

2 Steps to “Let Go and Let God”

Step 1: Surrender.

As you can see from Buddha’s story, pushing, trying and pursuing does not serve us. We must understand the Elegant Principle of the Universe:

As soon as you state your intention, Divine Consciousness sets to work to orchestrate everything needed to bring you your desire.”

The problem arises, for most women, when they don’t see any change in their reality and thus start doubting, feeling down, and obsessing even more on trying to figure out “the HOW”.

Spiritual Women who live elegantly, instead, focus on just BEING & await Divine Inspiration.

Do not attach. I’ll repeat that, “Do not attach to the outcome”.

Should we even have desires? Yes! Desires are feelings and feelings come directly from your Soul, which is your connection to the Divine. So yes! You wouldn’t have those desires if you weren’t intended to experience them!

However, instead of obsessing, spend your time & energy visualising your dream. See it vividly, in the greatest detail. FEEL it. Then…

let go and let god

Step 2: Get on With Living Your Life (filling it with JOY & PLEASURE)

I know I know, I harp on this regularly, but trust me, it’s the secret of experiencing The Elegant Life!

If someone would have told me this years ago, when I was in the obsessing mode, I would have thought, “Yeah, easy for you to say!” It was only when I reached mental and physical exhaustion that I finally said,

Screw this! If success means I have to work this hard and be disappointed countless times then I don’t want it. I’m done. I’ll just do this as a hobby out of enjoyment instead of trying to make it a business.”

After I made that conscious decision I felt the weight of the world drop off me.

I began feeling my creativity come out more. I did things I was too scared to do before, out of fear it would “upset” my followers.

I felt the pleasure in what I was doing again- the same pleasure I felt when I first started that business!

And what began happening? Opportunities just flowed into my life like magic. Calls for interviews in top national and international magazines and newspapers, ideal clients coming to me from referrals...the list went on and on. I learned what Buddha did and I invite you to learn it too…

The more you let go and let god (aka surrender) the more you allow Divine energy to do it’s work and flow through you and your life.

All that obsessive energy will be gone as will the manifestation of things and experiences on that same frequency.

Instead, you’ll be resonating at the levels of PEACE & JOY which are just under that of enlightenment – levels that bring in high vibration, exquisite miracles.

Please share your stories of when and how YOU have “let go and let God” – I know it will help so many women.

Do you know there are certain areas of your life where you need to Surrender? Share those too.

Recommendation

If you would like a perfect way of focusing on your dreams the elegant way and feeling joy and inner peace now, then I highly recommend The 6 Phase Visioning Meditation.

It was a moment I’ll never forget… I felt complete bliss and fulfillment of every kind.

I was lying on the floor, covered in a warm blanket, listening to some peaceful music at a Spiritual Retreat when IT happened.

A Moment of PURE Fulfillment

Indigo and purple lights began swirling rapidly in my mind’s eye, faster and faster they swirled until I was no longer in my body, I was an energy, in union with Source Energy.

It felt like everythingness and nothingness all at the same time, and it was pure BLISS.

I’ve never really known how to fully express what happened to me but just recently I read in a book by Osho, that the Buddha describes “Nirvana” as meaning:

You have ceased to be; you are just an infinite emptiness like the sky. And the moment you are that infinity, you become full of stars, and a totally new life begins. You are reborn.”

Osho goes on to say,

Bliss is not something that you invent but something that you discover. Bliss is your innermost nature.”

Are You Craving Fulfillment, Bliss & Joy in Your Life?

The most popular question I receive from women is this…

“Erin, how do you find pleasure and personal fulfillment when you’re dealing with everything else going on in your life?”

Some of the “things” women mention are:

a parent recently passing
children getting ready or already having flew the nest
juggling the demands of raising children and work or running a business
health issues

Here’s what I always answer:

“Your level of fulfillment, success, health & bliss is directly related to the distance of where you are now to where you are in terms of knowing and embodying the fact that you are Divine Energy. That you are part of the the Source of All Energy – God.”

(Watch me fully explain this at minute 1:35 in the video above)

fulfillment

If the distance is wide between these two then your manifestations will take longer and your experience of life will be one of multiple growth opportunities so that you finally KNOW and EMBODY the truth of what you really are.

How do I know this? My gap used to be HUGE! Yet I felt I was a spiritual woman and a seeker of truth.

How to Close the Gap Between Where You Are Now & True Fulfillment

Six years ago I was in quite a state.

I was the mother of a newborn, after having a horrific birth experience (watch the video at minute 4:05 where I describe what made this such a medieval type birth!) with a 4 year old just starting school and an international online Parenting Business to run.

During the pregnancy of my daughter I was struggling with a few personal issues that made me fall into a depression, but after that birth experience I fell DEEP into depression.

Why? Because I felt completely abandoned by God. I had spent 3 months preparing myself to have a stunning, spiritual hypnobirthing experience and the fact that it went completely and utterly opposite from what I visualised made me…well…I’ll be brutally honest here…I gave God the finger.

I was done.

My world, my marriage, my body started crumbling down and I nearly lost everything after certain things took place.

Then a friend of mine told my husband and I about a Spiritual Retreat that was focusing on clearing our energy system.

It was at this spiritual retreat, after one particularly intense clearing session that I experienced what I described at the beginning of this post – nirvana and self-realization.

I walked out of this Spiritual Retreat reborn – literally. And life has never been the same…it’s been better than I ever dreamed – all of my desires, dreams, wishes have come true or are coming true as we speak…with elegance and ease.
