Negative emotions are an inevitable part of life. Although they feel uncomfortable and even unbearable at times, negative emotions can serve very important functions. However, perhaps even more commonly, there are times when we respond to these emotions not in a constructive manner, but rather, in counterproductive, self-destructive ways. Letting go allows us to channel our mental, emotional, and physical energy in a productive manner. It is the psychological equivalent of flipping a switch from a focus on how things “should” have gone a certain way to a focus on what we can do now.
And letting go is one of the biggest thing you can do on Samhain, today. This is a super special time of the year and the vail is very thin. You can feel it, a straight connection between the invisible and the real world, where everything is possibile. Take some time to cleanse your energy with a salt bath, a cleansing meditation, or just by consciously cleansing your energy with light and returning to love. On a piece of paper write down anything you would like to release from the last year, this could be a worry, fear, old pattern or situation Now hold the piece of paper and visualise all that you wish to release is now leaving your body and into the piece of paper you are holding. In a well ventilated and safe place (preferably outside) light your paper and allow it to burn whilst you reflect on the past year and visualise all of your worries being released and letting go.
Letting go of the old can have such transformative effects on our emotional and physical wellbeing. Just as we see with the trees shedding their leaves at this time of year, we too can benefit from the power of the cycles of life. By clearing the way we can invite new and creative opportunities and possibilities into our lives. So why not embrace the spiritual meaning behind Halloween this year and see what a simple ritual could do for you.

My energy is here: being reminded of the power and the struggle: accepting that over other people, and over the variety of possible manifestations of the future in the right now, I have no control.
Happy Samhain dear Witches and let go of everything you don’t need anymore…
