As important as it is to put in the effort, it is of equal importance that we learn to let go. To live in the world of physicality, to strive with all our heart and soul for our goals, and yet to not be attached to the outcome, having certainty that the Light prevails – this is intense spiritual work. It’s quite a paradox, but as Rav Berg often said: The truth is in the paradox. The energy of this week is one that can help us to let go of our agendas, our fixed ideas of what outcomes should be, of where we are headed, and why.
Here are 7 resources to help you practice letting go of that which doesn’t suit you in your life:
