What are you holding onto? Join me on a powerful and transformative journey of letting go and reconnecting with your true essence. Together, we will explore the depths of this process, starting with the inspiring poem "She Let Go" by Reverend Safire Rose. Through its words, you will discover the liberation that comes from releasing fear, judgments, and the constant need for external validation. Embracing the present moment becomes the gateway to true freedom.

Throughout our exploration, we will draw wisdom from renowned teachings like A Course in Miracles (ACIM) and the Bhagavad Gita. These profound sources will guide us in understanding the concept of detachment and the art of letting go. By detaching ourselves from the illusion of separateness and embracing our eternal nature, we unlock the ability to transcend the challenges of pleasure and pain.

Together, we will connect with our higher self through detachment, creating a life filled with love, light, and profound peace. By embracing detachment, we open ourselves to a state of abundant joy and deeper fulfillment.

Come and join me on this transformative journey of letting go and rediscovering your true essence. It's time to experience the freedom and joy that await when we release what no longer serves us and connect with the truth of who we are.

About Linda:

Have you ever battled overwhelming anxiety, fear, self-limiting beliefs, soul fatigue or stress? It can leave you feeling so lonely and helpless. We’ve all been taught how to be courageous when we face physical threats but when it comes to matters of the heart and soul we are often left to learn, "the hard way."

As a school teacher for over 30+ years, struggling with these very issues, my doctor suggested anti-anxiety medication but that didn't resonate with me so I sought the healing arts. I expanding my teaching skills and became a yoga, meditation, mindfulness, reiki and sound healer to step into my power and own my impact. 

A Call for Love will teach you how to find the courage to hold space for your fears and tears. To learn how to love and respect yourself and others more deeply.  

My mission is to guide you on your journey. I believe we can help transform the world around us by choosing love. If you don’t love yourself, how can you love anyone else? Join a call for love.

Hello and welcome to a call for love. I believe the most powerful gift you can offer yourself is to give and receive love more freely. I'm your host Linda Orsini meditation guidance spiritual coach. Everyone has the desire to be seen, heard, respected and loved. The journey to becoming more connected to your greater purpose lies within the ability to live from the deep source of love within you. Let's begin.

Welcome back to a call for love. I am so excited to share today's episode with you because it's really close to my heart. And I know you're going to love it because so many people have commented on what I'm going to share both and how much it has changed and affected their life. But first, I want to share with you that if you join in to a call for love podcast on Apple podcasts, you can leave a five star review or any star that you wish, and a comment. And I received a really special and beautiful testimony about the podcast from Antonia. And she said I loved hearing Linda's personal journey of her five day silent retreat. And I shared that on episode 23. Since I lead retreats myself, it is always a joy to see another person's dive into the challenging journey of confronting the North American addiction to doing and moving into creating presents with self. She does a wonderful job of articulating her vulnerabilities and resistance and describing her process through to the other side. Linda is a great model for turning into self turning into love. Thanks for sharing. I really appreciate that Antonio, and everybody else who's left comments on the podcast because this is just a journey I have taken on my own on my own intuition and just my own personal growth, to share all the teachings that I have learned. And of course, I am just a student of life. So please take what resonates with you and invite it into your life. So let's begin today's episode. And I would like to begin with a story. If you listen to my podcasts, you will know I often share stories and I really don't hold anything back. And so here it begins today, with my story of I was hosting woman's sacred circles at the space and oak villas, a beautiful studio owned by Selena close. And I wanted to end as I usually do my classes with insight and just something that people can carry on with. And I shared a poem called she let go. And this poem is actually created by Reverend sapphire rose. So I All rights belong term. And it is a beautiful, beautiful poem about personal growth and accomplishment. I will leave a link to this poem in the show notes. But it left an impact. And my dear friend Valerie shapen really took it to heart and she actually created an intention for herself called she like go. I don't think she'll mind me saying this, because I think a lot of people have really resonated with this. And to really fully explain it. Let me go a little further. I was hosting a retreat at the retreat house in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada. And I had a loving beautiful women join me. Not only was it special because they are wonderful people, but I have such an affiliation with the number 11. I am the 11th child of 11 children and I always see 1111 on my phone or on the clock. So I really think it's cool that 11 Woman joined and I was the 12. In any case, when I host my retreats, I really want people to participate and have a vested interest into their experience. I guess that comes from the teacher in me. So I asked all the ladies to other share a favorite poem, a very favorite quote or favorite story. And then they were given the opportunity to share it whenever it was appropriate. And Valerie wanted to share this poem, she let go. I taught a yoga class. Everyone was in shavasana and shavasana is the last pose of a yoga class where you lie down on ground, then you really let go into stillness, it's actually called Dead Man's pose, because you're not supposed to be doing thinking you're just supposed to be being, and really melting into all the healing benefits that your practice guided you in. So I had Valerie read this poem to all the ladies and even myself, at the end of the class during Shavasana. Well, let me tell you, there was not a dry eye in the room. It was so heart felt, it was unbelievable. It is probably one of my very treasured moments. There were so many moments. And that was one of them. Because as everyone was lying in shavasana, and I was at the front of the room being the guide, I could look around, and I just saw and felt the impact that it had. And it had an impact. Because a very, it meant really something to her. And she portrayed that, when you have something very important to you like a poem or quote, dictated to yourself, through your voice recorder on your phone, I do that often. If there's something that's really, really meaningful to me, I record my voice into my voice recorder on my phone, and then I play it back when I need to hear it. And I think that's really important to hear it in our voice, because it really creates that connection. It connects us with our senses. And it's like we are hearing our own words, and it has a greater impact. In any case, Valerie shared this poem, and it was really beautiful. And today, my episode is to share this poem with you. I'd like you if you're in a safe place, to just close your eyes and just soften into the moment and feel my words drift in and out of your consciousness and take what resonates with you. And then at the end, I am going to reflect on some real poignant elements to the poem that I feel are really relevant for personal reflection and growth. Okay, so here we go.

It's called The title is she let go and once again, it's was written by Reverend Safire Rose, she let go. Without a thought, or a word, she let go. She let go of fear. She let go of the judgments. She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head. She let go of the Committee of indecision within her. She let go of all the right reasons, wholly and completely. Without hesitation, or worry, she just let go. She didn't ask anyone for advice. She didn't need a book on how to let go. She didn't research the scriptures. She just let go. She let go of all the memories that held her back. She let go of all the anxiety that kept her from moving forward. She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just write. She didn't promise to let go. She didn't journal about it. She didn't write the projected date in her day timer. She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper. She didn't check the weather report or read her daily horoscope. She just let go. She didn't analyze whether she should let go. She didn't call her friends to discuss the matter. She didn't do a five step spiritual mind treatment. She didn't call the prayer line. She didn't utter one word. She just let go. No one was around when it happened. There was no applause or congratulations No one thanked her or praised her. No one noticed a thing.

Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go. There was no effort. There was no struggle. It wasn't good, and it wasn't bad. It was what it was. And it is just that in the space of letting go, she let it all be a smile came across her face. A light breeze blew through, and the sun and the moon shone forevermore.

Take a deep breath in, and exhale, let it go. Let go the breath, but let go of any tension or holding within your physical body. You may be thinking of a particular phrase that really resonates with you and speaks to your heart at this time through this poem. When you asked yourself, what do you need to let go of what is holding you back. And whatever line in this poem resonates with you, and I will leave the whole poem in the show notes. I'll tell you what resonates with me. No one was around when it happened. There was no applause or congratulations. No one thanked her or praised her. No one noticed a thing. That's what resonates with me. Because letting go is an inside job. It's something we give ourselves. It's something we do for ourselves. And that's why that verse really resonates with me. Because a call for love is about finding and knowing the deep love within you, the deep Source within you. I believe this poem is asking us to let go of who we think we are, in order to know who we truly are. And a part of A Course in Miracles states that who we truly are, is perfect, whole and complete. And according to the Bhagavad Gita, when we connect to our immortal self, our true self, called the Atma, our true self is a terminal, it never dies. And that's why we want to let go of all the crap around us, that does not serve us in order to come back to ourselves back into our truest essence. Now I am by no means a Bhagavad Gita expert. But I do know a couple of things that I would like to share with you here today. So the Bhagavad Gita, it asks us in this text, it's actually a poem. And maybe another day, I will go through it a little bit further. But really what it asks us to do, it asks us to detach, or in other words, let go of attaching to pleasure or pain. Because according to the Buddha, that is how suffering occurs. Pleasure by wanting more of something that feels good to us, and pain, by just ruminating about the thoughts of how much we don't want something and pushing it away, because it's uncomfortable or painful, either in our physical body or an emotional body. So the bag of ag does message is that we can arise above the human experience, when we let go of the illusion that we are separate from source and are truly one with all there is. And that's what we want to let go of. Because when we hold on to illusions of and we make meaning through our senses of an event, we hold on to it and act As a suffering within us, when we let go, and realize that's not who we truly are, and who somebody else truly is, we can find that deep inner peace. And in this sense, it is the actual practice of yoga. You know, I have a lot of people really close to me who love and enjoy the practice of yoga, and others who are not fans. And I always say, yoga is not just the poses. In fact, that's what Westerners have created. It's called the asanas, the poses the shapes. But the true meaning of yoga is to yoke, it's to connect. And yoga is really skill in action. I often say I practice more yoga off the mat than actually on the mat. Because it's detaching and finding freedom and finding peace within yourself. Because when we connect with our higher self, we want to detach, to find that unshakable equanimity within us to find that profound peace of mind to create the action of living in our highest vibration. Have, you guessed it, this is my message, love and light. This helps us to act with greater attention and intention to find profound deep love within us respect and appreciate first within ourselves, because it has to come from within us. And then moving outwards, I had this really fantastic conversation with a wonderful woman who will be on the podcast in the future. And I said, it comes from ourselves, we don't heal our thoughts, feelings, and emotions from the outside, we heal from the inside out. When we feel like we're separate from source separate from our highest self, then we create suffering, we attach meaning onto things that do not need to be attached to. I know that in my personal life, I get into circumstances where I get triggered from people or events or things. And I have to step back notice and remind myself, I have to remind myself that we are all spiritual beings living in this human experience. And when I can place a circumstance or a person in the highest vibration that they are one with the universe, and I can see the love within them. Then everything transmutes everything transmits into deep inner peace. So this is something that you will want to maybe reflect on, you can reach out to me and we can talk further. Because I feel that so much of all the pain and suffering within ourselves and the world really comes down to the simplicity of knowing we are not separate, that everything comes from within us. If we can be friend and love and accept respect ourselves. That is the first piece, the hardest piece. From there, we can be a source of high vibration, love and light to others. And you know, when you're living in that highest essence, your whole life transforms, you see things you know, back in the day, they used to say you see everything with rose colored glasses. And I think it's because it's coming from inside of you, and it shines out. So it brings this beautiful light, this beautiful love energy to all your events, circumstances and experiences around you. When I think of the poem, she let go, it reminds me we do it for ourselves. And I don't mean that selfishly, I mean that we do it for ourselves in order to be of service to others. We do not live for ourselves, but it has to come from a love from ourselves in order to be stewards of this earth, to be stewards of others to be the example. And when I think of she let go it's a gift you give yourself to not hold on to injustices, to resentment to anger, forgiveness, you is something that you give you give to yourself.

My mum always said that she would, something would happen to her. And she got really upset. I can't remember the incidents, but she got really upset. And she stood and stood about it. I think it was a neighbor. And then one day she saw the neighbor out in the backyard laughing and giggling and gardening and etc. And she says, that neighbor wasn't upset at all. She was the one suffering holding this illusion in her mind holding on to this resentment. And she decided that wasn't serving her and she let it go. And she was happy. I have learned so many lessons from my mother, and my father, and all those above me, all those around me. And I'm so grateful for this path that I am on. And I'm just sharing it with you. I hope this really resonates with you. If you have any comments, please reach out to me. Tell me or share with somebody who is impactful in your life, how you let go. And if you need help and support and letting go know that I am here for you. I am a personal coach transformational life coach. But I'm also really into steeped deeply into a lot of traditions. And my whole mission and life moving forward is to serve. Leslie, I have this quote that Dr. Wayne Dyer said. And I put it on a sticky note. In my closet. When I wake up each morning and I'm getting dressed, how may I serve? This is how I start my day. How may I serve? And to serve? You have to first come from wholeness, right? You have to be whole within yourself. And when I'm not whole I just back off, so don't worry. I feel that you know you're gonna have downtimes you know, you recollect yourself, you meditate, you do what heals you, and then you come into your highest vibration, you let that go and you come into your highest vibration and you serve you serve from your heart. And that's what I always wished for myself to you and you to others. So from my heart to yours, wishing you so much love and light. Namaste
