Autumn is approaching once again – time to let go of the emotions and experiences you no longer need. Just as nature lets go of its leaves to draw its energy inwards and prepare for winter. Letting go – perhaps the hardest thing there is… But once you’re ready, it creates so much space for growth! Whether it’s an old trauma or an unpleasant emotion from today: let it go and you’ll make room for something new.
But there are some things you don’t let go of so easily. And is it always necessary to let go of something completely? Personally, I think there are some experiences you never really need to let go of entirely, as long as they no longer have any sharp edges or are still tinged with intense emotion. Take the death of a loved one, for example: you never quite let that go. But when you can look back on it with a sense of warmth and feel grateful for what that person meant to you, then you have let go of the heavy emotion and space is created in your heart once more.
Energy charge
This is an example from your current life, but from a spiritual perspective, there may also be a great deal of energy from past lives that has remained ‘stuck’ to you. Karmic issues stemming from your family line can also hold you back in this life. As a result, you may well find yourself facing the same problems time and time again. One such family pattern, for example, might be that you keep attracting the wrong partner. Or that you don’t find a partner at all, because in a past life you vowed never to enter into a romantic relationship.
By letting go of old baggage and emotions, you make room for something new. You relax and feel at ease with your whole ‘being’. This applies to big things, but also to the little things you experience every day: that awkward conversation at work, an argument with your child – you name it. When you flop down on the sofa in the evening, it might still be on your mind. You find that you can’t sit still and that your mind just keeps going round in circles. These kinds of minor experiences and emotions also keep you from being true to yourself…
Let it go
But how do you deal with (deep-seated) emotions, and how can you let them go so that they no longer bother you? I’ve got a few tips for that, which always work well for me, at least. Hopefully they’ll work for you too!
Try to work out where your emotion is coming from and what effect it’s having on you right now
And that is perhaps the most difficult part of letting go of emotions. Sometimes you simply don’t know where the emotion is coming from – for example, from a past life, as described above. But even then, it’s a good idea to do the following exercise:
🌸 Sit down somewhere quiet and, if you like, put on some soothing frequency music. You can find lots of playlists on Spotify and YouTube if you search for frequency healing.
🌸 To help with this, use a product from De Groene Linde, which I’ll explain more about in a moment. Hold the bottle in your hand or put a few drops of oil on a cotton pad to take a moment to smell it. Have this ready beside you.
🌸 Close your eyes and listen to the music. Let it really sink in.
🌸 Focus your thoughts on the moment or feeling you wish to let go of, by directing your attention to your heart. Feel how your heart feels right now: perhaps constricted or restless. Identify the emotion and the moment associated with it. Let it wash over you and accept it. Experience the feeling without wanting to change anything about it. Perhaps tears will come, or you’ll feel the need to let it all out. Let it all happen and do whatever feels right. Tears are the cleansers of the soul; when you’ve bottled up an emotion, it simply has to come out. You’ll really start to feel your emotions, even those you may have tucked away deep inside…
🌸 When you feel that you have let go of all your emotions, bring your thoughts back to your heart. See how it feels now. Do you feel a sense of space? Peace? Take a few deep breaths in and out, and let a smile spread across your face. Be grateful for what has just happened, and slowly open your eyes again.
You can do this exercise to get to the root of a deep emotion, but also to let go of the little things that just keep niggling at you.
Walking, yoga, meditation and mindfulness
Walking in nature – I absolutely love it! Especially when I’ve had a ‘tough’ day full of emotions and frustrations 😆. By connecting with nature, taking a deep breath and letting go of my energy there, I feel completely centred again.
Find a quiet spot in the countryside and let the silence wash over you. Try to let your busy thoughts, your emotions and your frustrations drift away on the wind and the clouds. Let it all go and relax! So get out into the fresh air as soon as you can and be inspired by nature this autumn!
A fantastic way to release emotions is to practise certain Yin Yoga exercises. Yin Yoga is a very gentle form of yoga, specifically designed to release tension in the muscles, as well as emotions.
Mindfulness can also help you cope better with events and difficult emotions. You learn to deal with experiences, and above all with your reactions to them. You become more aware of them, and your mind becomes more stable and calm. As a result, you’ll find that you no longer get caught up in your emotions so quickly, but can view them from a distance and let them go.
Don’t have time to meditate for ten minutes? Well, they say you should actually sit down for half an hour instead😉! Just think how much time you spend scrolling on your phone… Why not use that time wisely by sitting still for a while and clearing your mind? Do you find it difficult to meditate on your own? Then have a look on YouTube for a guided meditation and give yourself time to get used to it.
Great products to help you
As well as these tips, we at De Groene Linde also have lots of products you can use to help. I’d love to share a few of my favourites with you 😉
🌸 𝙻𝚘𝚜𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚗 – 𝚂𝚙𝚒𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚞𝚎𝚕𝚎 𝚁𝚎𝚐𝚞𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚎 – Well, the name says it all: letting go of emotions and frequencies you no longer need gives you so much space. And because this is often difficult, you could do with a bit of support! This scent frequency helps you do just that.
I enjoy using this scent frequency in a spray. Not every day, but especially when I notice the same thoughts or emotions coming up again and again. Sit down quietly and close your eyes. Spray above your head and beside your shoulders. Let the mist settle gently and see what happens.
🌸 𝙱𝚕𝚞𝚎 𝙿𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚝 – 𝟻𝙳 𝚕𝚒𝚓𝚗 – This wonderful scent helps you let go of old emotions and karmic baggage. A truly deep cleanser, then! Traumas you experienced in a past life, or family karma you’re still stuck with today… let them go, so that more space is created and you can raise your vibration once again.
🌸 𝚃𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚜𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚎 – 𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚗𝚍𝚎 𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚎𝚜 – Many people are going through a process of transformation. You get closer to your true self, let go of the things you no longer need and feel increasingly at ease with yourself. That is what an inner transformation can do for you.
But sometimes it’s really hard to carry on, and you might experience physical symptoms such as trouble sleeping or headaches. If so, let this lovely scent frequency support you.
🌸 𝚂𝚝𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚑𝚎𝚗𝚐𝚎 – 𝙰𝚠𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚜 – This really is my favourite! When you hold this bottle and tune into the energy of the stones, you can actually feel the vibration. Whenever I notice that there are emotions or experiences that keep me preoccupied, or that I’m struggling to get to sleep because my mind is racing, I reach for this frequency again. Sometimes just holding the bottle is enough, because I feel this frequency so powerfully. A sigh of relief, and I notice my energy lightening up again.
I hope you find these tips helpful in approaching life with an open heart once again. Let the flow of life wash over you and surrender to what is. Enjoy the autumn and draw inspiration from nature, whilst also letting go of what you no longer need.
