Outrageous Openness: Letting the Divine Take the Lead

by Tosha Silver

So here’s an experiment. If something’s been plaguing you, don’t strong-arm a solution. Call in Divine Order. Allow that the right solution is already chosen and you will be guided to it effortlessly at the right time. Then let go. Follow the steps as they appear. You’ll be shown the way.

So here’s the deal. If you make God your Source for all financial, emotional, and spiritual abundance, you open yourself to unexpected, unlimited good. Each individual person, place, or thing is just the temporary, transitory form the Divine uses to bring what you need.

Let what wants to come, come. Let what wants to go, go. If it is mine, it will stay. If not, whatever is better will replace it.

However, release doesn’t always come automatically, especially if the ego has forged an identity out about “how you were done wrong.” So here’s a plan I shared with Julie. It releases all forms of toxic emotional ties, especially hurt and anger. Write a letter that won’t be sent. Let yourself say absolutely everything you’ve ever wished to say to this person. Write and write and write without restraint or editing. Swear, scream, defame, curse, whatever it takes. Don’t stop until you’re really done. Julie wrote over thirty pages. Burn the letter. Take a bath of strong Epsom salt water, feeling as you soak that all negative attachments to this person are being pulled from your body and energy field. As the water goes down the drain, imagine everything else goes, too. If no tub, showers can work with a salt scrub. Burn sage (or any cleansing herb, such as cedar or frankincense). Bring the smoke through your whole body from head to toe, front and back. Imagine any final psychic cords attaching you melting away. They’re like ropes of energy that bind us to people. You’ll feel them leave. Release any pictures, letters, or objects from the person that fill your home. Those hold their psychic prana, or energy, making it much harder to cut free. They may even reattach cording if you dwell on them. Let them go. Pray for closure. Ask the Universe to let you completely release this matter. Ask to be able to forgive the past and be carried to a new time. A version of a prayer could be,...

You know, at some point you have to free the inner hostage. No one else can storm the gates. You alone can finally break the barricades and just free . . . you.

If you anchor yourself in Divine Source, what needs to come will always come, regardless of others.

Our future is what Sanskrit calls the parabhda karma, the bodily destiny combined with what we create through our evolving actions and thoughts. Learning to keep our vibration high and positive is the key. We make our future anew every day, since life’s a mix of fate and free will, with a dash of mystery that could never be fully read.

It’s good to know both your specialness and your utter dispensability. Then you can let go and embrace it all. You can play your role in this exquisite, absurd story with complete abandon. You can be a melting snowflake, a drifting leaf, or a nature spirit dancing in a pond. And if you touch any heart with what you do for the brief moments you are here, that is enough.
