The Power of Releasing

The Power of Releasing

October 07, 20253 min read

There comes a moment in every spiritual journey where we must face the things we’ve been carrying—the thoughts, fears, beliefs, expectations, and energies that no longer serve us. It is in this sacred moment of releasing that true transformation begins.

Releasing isn’t just about letting go. It’s about making room.

It’s about trusting that when we surrender what’s weighing us down, we create space for peace, purpose, and divine guidance to flow in.

Why Releasing Is Powerful

From nature’s cycles to our own emotional tides, releasing is a natural and necessary part of growth. Just as trees shed their leaves in autumn to prepare for new life in spring, we too are called to release what’s complete, outdated, or misaligned.

When we resist releasing, we stay stuck, but when we lean into it—even when it feels uncomfortable—we align with the rhythm of the Universe.

Releasing…

  • Frees our energy from the past

  • Breaks old patterns and limiting beliefs

  • Opens the path for healing and clarity

  • Makes room for new desires to manifest

  • Deepens our connection to intuition and spirit

What Can You Release?

You can release anything that no longer aligns with who you are becoming:

  • Old stories and wounds

  • Guilt, shame, fear, resentment

  • Unhealthy attachments or relationships

  • Self-doubt and comparison

  • The pressure to have it all figured out

You can even release energy you’ve unknowingly picked up from others. The energy that sits in your body, your aura, your chakras. This is especially important for empaths and healers.

When to Release

The energy of release is most powerful during the full moon—including the few days before or after the full moon, when the moon illuminates and invokes within us what is no longer serving us. This may come in a negative emotion a painful old memory, or a thought that doesn't align with you. But you don’t need to wait for the moon.

You can choose to release right now.

Releasing is a practice. It’s a lifestyle. It’s an act of self-love.

Practices for Releasing

Here are a few ways you can invite the energy of release into your life:

1. Journaling Release: Write down what you’re ready to let go of. Be honest, raw, and specific. Then burn or bury the paper with intention to release what you wrote.

2. Breathwork: Inhale, and allow the fresh breath to surround anything that you no longer need - heavy energy, stagnant thoughts or old pain. With each exhale, imagine you are releasing this unwanted energy and let your breath carry it out of your body.

3. Salt Baths: Salt purifies energy. Set the intention to release as you soak or shower, and visualize anything unwanted dissolving away. Download the instructions for and easy Epsom Salt Clearing from the member's area.

4. Cord-Cutting Visualization: Imagine any energetic cords between you and what you’re releasing. Gently cut them, thank the experience, and fill and seal the space with light.

5. Decluttering Your Space: Physical clutter holds emotional energy. As you clean, say aloud: "Thank you. I let go of what I no longer need. I make space for what supports me now.”

What Happens After You Release?

You feel lighter.

Clearer.

More in tune with your intuition.

When you release, you don’t just let something go—you call something in: peace, clarity, aligned opportunities, and deeper trust in your path.

You say to the Universe, “I am ready.

A Final Word

Releasing is a sacred act of self-respect. You are not erasing your past—you are honoring it by letting it go with love and gratitude.

It’s okay to grieve what you’re releasing. It’s okay to feel fear or uncertainty. But know this: what is meant for you will never require you to carry what is not.

Let it go.

Let it flow.

And watch the magic unfold.
