Letting Go Tools

If you don’t have the tools in place that allow you to let go, life will seem as though it’s personal and in the process you will remain attached to using tools that cause suffering…

There are many ways to let go of something, here are some that I’ve found useful and although “I” is at the root of all attachment, we can use these ways that may make letting go a little easier. Not labeling is one way to not attach and let go. The base of this way is understanding the impermanence of all things and how this applies regardless of what arises. Another way that one can practice letting go is by not wishing for things to be different, this is used to let go of control. Not wishing things were different can also be used to not attach to what arises and although the wording may be different, non attachment and letting go are essentially one in the same. If you don’t attach to something it never has you in its grip and if you let go of something it relinquishes its grip.

Another way to let go is the no self identity way which allows you to see the self that truly exists, not the one made up by the Conditioned Mind. To understand this you must see the emptiness in holding onto the created identity. It’s not that the self doesn’t exist, it just doesn’t exist in the way your conditioned to see it; this is the self that’s has existed throughout you life regardless of what happened.

Life doesn’t happen to you, it’s not personal it just happens, the false self is what makes it about you and until this seen, suffering will remain. You don’t have to use all of these tools to let go, one will be enough, you don’t even have to use one if you choose not to, but understand if you don’t have the tools in place that allow you to truly let go, you will make life personal and in the process you will keep using the tools that cause you to suffer…
