Letting go is one of the hardest spiritual lessons we face. Whether it's the end of a relationship, a deep betrayal, or a painful transition, releasing attachment to the past can feel like losing a part of yourself.
But what if letting go wasn’t about losing something—but gaining freedom? What if it wasn’t about forgetting—but learning, forgiving, and moving forward with love?
“Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go.” —Hermann Hesse
True release isn’t just about cutting ties—it’s a spiritual practice of forgiveness, trust, and surrendering control to the universe.
Why Letting Go Feels So Hard
When we’ve invested time, energy, and love into a person or situation, our ego resists letting go. It clings to:
Regret: “What if I had done things differently?”
Resentment: “How could they treat me this way?”
Hope: “Maybe one day they’ll change.”
But the deeper spiritual truth is that when something is meant to leave your life, holding on only creates suffering.
There comes a moment when you realize:
“I wish you well, but I don’t wish you back.”
This is the shift from attachment to wisdom—from needing closure from them to finding peace within yourself.

The Law of Forgiveness: Releasing Yourself from the Past
In my book Awaken the Power Within, I discuss The Law of Forgiveness, which teaches that forgiveness is not about excusing someone’s actions—it’s about freeing yourself from the weight of resentment.
Holding onto anger or pain binds you to the past, keeping you energetically tied to a version of yourself that no longer exists.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean you accept poor treatment or invite someone back into your life. It means:
✔️ Releasing the emotional grip they have over you
✔️ Choosing inner peace over bitterness
✔️ Making room for new love, new lessons, and new joy
One powerful practice is the Forgiveness Ritual of Release:
Write a letter to the person (or situation) that hurt you. Express everything—pain, anger, gratitude, lessons learned.
End with the words:
“I wish you well, but I don’t wish you back. I release you with love and step forward in peace.”
Burn or tear up the letter as a symbolic act of letting go.
Forgiveness is a process, not a one-time decision. But each time you choose peace over resentment, you reclaim your power.

Trusting the Universe: Surrendering Control
Letting go doesn’t mean giving up—it means surrendering to a higher wisdom. It’s trusting that:
If something is meant for you, it will find its way back.
If something isn’t aligned with your highest good, its absence is protection.
This is where faith meets healing.
Instead of replaying the past, ask yourself:
🌿 “What is the universe making space for in my life?”
The moment you stop resisting what is and start embracing what’s next, you make room for new beginnings, deeper self-love, and unexpected blessings.

Final Thoughts: Your Power Lies in Release
Letting go is not a loss—it’s an act of self-love. The universe never takes without replacing, but you must make spacefor something greater to arrive.
You are not bound by your past. You are not defined by your pain.
And the moment you decide,
“I wish you well, but I don’t wish you back”
…you set yourself free.
