Letting Go and Arriving: My Journey to Inner Serenity

Surrendering into Deep Rest

Sometimes, life invites us not to push forward, but to rest deeply into ourselves—to surrender into trust rather than striving. Lately, I have found myself in a profound process of letting go—not just mentally, but in my whole being.

The Misunderstanding That Shaped My Life

A deep misunderstanding had shaped my life for so long: I believed that being taken care of meant being dependent on someone—or even more intensely, being at the mercy of someone. This deep conviction kept me in a position of holding on, resisting surrender.

The Fear of Losing Myself

For most of my life, I believed that in order to be truly safe and taken care of, I needed a strong, wealthy man by my side—someone who would provide shelter and security. And yet, I resisted finding one, because I unconsciously feared that this would mean losing myself, having to accommodate, and not being free to be who I am. Looking deeper, I see that this fear is a reflection of my early childhood experience—where belonging and being taken care of seemed to require adapting, rather than simply being.

Maybe you, too, can relate to this?

Letting Go of Resistance and Finding Peace

This deep misunderstanding kept me in a position of holding on and resisting surrender. My body—after a lifetime of me trying to provide safety and care on my own—now feels exhausted. And at the same time, I feel a quiet, deep knowing, full of gratitude. There is no grief, no regret—just an allowing, an embracing of all that has been.

A Moment of Clarity

And then, a moment of clarity: Being taken care of does not mean being dependent. It does not mean being at the mercy of someone else. It is something entirely different. It is resting in my true nature—being held by life itself. I don’t need to be in charge. I don’t need to hold everything together. The universe has my back.

A Deep, Exhaling Relief

This realization brings a deep, exhaling relief. A homecoming. A return to something essential. I feel the desire to simply rest here, to let go, to bathe in my own essence. No striving, no effort—just the quiet trust that I am supported.

The Power of Trust in the Universe

In a recent Yoga Nidra session, I heard a beautiful phrase: “I am resting deeply in the cocoon of peace and ease, cradled in the arms of trust, that the universe will support me.”

And that is exactly where I want to be.

The Courage to Let Go

Maybe this resonates with you? Maybe there is something in your own life that is asking for deep rest, for surrender? If so, may you, too, find the courage to let go—and discover that you are already held.
