5 Steps to Let and Allow

I have been asking the Universe the question “how do I let and allow?” How can I let go of the things that don’t serve me anymore so I may be of service to myself and the world? Here are 5 helpful steps can help you go towards the flow of the Universe.

1. SURRENDER

When you are experiencing contrasting, challenging situations or emotions, know that they are ALWAYS divine messages for you to learn and grow. When contrast shows up in your life and you are feeling dark emotions, allow them to be acknowledged so they can be processed through the body in order to be released. This is called SURRENDER. Your body desperately wants to be acknowledged, approved of and accepted in every way. Remember when you were a kid and had big feelings? Did your parents, teachers or friends shut you down or shame you because you had big emotions? Well, you can’t shut yourself down anymore.

So…how to surrender? Feel the sensations of the shadows in your body and say to them “I feel you sadness, anger, betrayal, disappointment..etc. I acknowledge that you are there and I love you. I will let you process through my body without any shame, guilt or judgement. You are an expression that is worthy of being heard. I love you and I surrender you to the Universe (God, Allah, the Angels, or even to yourself…whoever you usually pray to).” Then keep on feeling these sensations run through your body. Visualize and feel them flowing out of your body. It may take minutes or it may take days to release, but keep on surrendering these emotions to the Universe.

When you surrender, you are allowing the Universe to take over. You are basically giving up your need to control to make your life “perfect.” You already ARE PERFECTION! So when you are at your lowest low, feel hopeless and feel that there’s nothing else you can do…surrender all of these feelings to God. 

2. ASK 

You know the saying “Ask and you shall receive.” Well, the Universe is asking you to ask for more favors. The Universe is Infinite, plentiful and wants you to be happy, healthy, abundant, and at peace. Some of you might think it is selfish to ask God for favors, especially if they are directed towards yourself. This isn’t true. It is selfLESS when you are asking the Universe to help you in every way possible. When you are happy and abundant, the people around you become more happy and abundant. This is the Law of Vibration. So please ASK the Universe for more favors. 

Here are some good ones:
Please…
Help me find the strength and courage to…
Help me to love myself more. 
Help me to know that I am worthy and valuable. 
Help me have stronger boundaries.
Help me stay grounded.
Help me know that I am divinely guided by you.

3. AFFIRM

Affirmations are a powerful way to reprogram your subconscious mind. You live your life mostly through subconscious programming and from past beliefs that may not serve you anymore. When you say positive affirmations in the PRESENT TENSE consistently over and over again, your subconscious mind will start to believe all of them in time. The key is to FEEL that these affirmations are true. They may not feel true at first but over time, they will start to seep into your psyche. 

A technique I like to use before I start the affirmations is to take 3 deep breaths, feel myself grounded into the Earth and then allow beautiful light to shine through the crown of my head all the way to the the soles of my feet. Then take all of the things you ASKED the Universe for into powerful affirmations. 

I love you.
I am strong and courageous.
I have strong, healthy boundaries.
I am deeply worthy and valuable.
I am unbelievably grounded and safe in my body.
I am divinely guided by the Universe.
All of my needs are met.
I am at ease, calm and relaxed. 
I am safe and I am loved.
I love you.

The most powerful ways to say these affirmations are to do them in front of the mirror, looking at yourself straight in the eyes. Say these with conviction, feeling as if you already are this person. FEEL the Universe flowing through your body and surrounding your energy field in a big, beautiful, iridescent bubble. You will see yourself transforming over time when these affirmations are consistently repeated.

4. MEDITATE

For those of you who are still reading, yes you, my highly sensitive Empathic friends, meditation is the way to hear divine guidance and to deepen your own self-love, self-care ritual. Take the time to find a quiet, safe space. Start to be aware of your breath, feel the sensations in your body, be aware of your thoughts and then come back to your breath. When you meditate, you are telling yourself and the Universe “I am worthy. I am valuable. I am giving myself the time and space to feel sacred and loved.” 

As an Empath myself, my mind tends to be more messy and chaotic when I don’t give myself the time to breathe consciously in my own safe space. Meditation gives me a sense of peace, groundedness and assurance that I am completely safe and loved, no matter what my external conditions are. Meditation is also a great way to enhance your intuition. I can recommend at least 5-15 minutes a day of meditation. 

5. LISTEN

You may get messages or signs from the Universe through feelings (clairsentience), hearing (clairaudience), seeing (clairvoyance), or knowing (claircognizance). When you go through the process of SURRENDERING, ASKING, AFFIRMING and MEDITATING, you will be able to get clearer, more definite signs from the Universe on what next steps to take through your intuition.

If you have trouble listening to your intuition, another way to LISTEN is to journal about it and ask the Universe questions. 

For example:
“Dear Universe, I have been challenged with this situation. What advice can you give me? What is the next action step to take?”

Then write as if the Universe is writing back to you. “Dear beautiful one, here is some great guidance that can help you move forward on your path…” 

Whatever the next action step is, whether it works out or not, it is ALWAYS the right one because you are learning and growing. Just TAKE ACTION when the Universe tells you to. You are evolving to be your greatest self because that is what the Universe is guiding you to be. Never give up. KEEP GOING. KEEP GOING. KEEP GOING. You are expanding and helping reprogram the world by being TRUE TO YOURSELF. LET yourself be and ALLOW the goodness to flow through and to you. 

Sending you so much light along your path, dear friends.

Much love, 💕🙏❤️
