Many of us spend years trying to figure out how to let go of the past. And sometimes, spiritual teachers don’t help because they present the concept of “letting go” as something easy.
“Just let it go,” says the guru.
Yet for so many of us, letting go seems like a herculean effort.
This has been true in my own life and also in the lives of hundreds of clients. And over the years, I’ve come to understand why.
The truth is, you can’t simply let go of the past without first mastering one key skill.
And no matter how hard you try, the past will keep haunting you, as long as you’re focused only on the “letting go” part.
But there’s more. Society has placed such a strong emphasis on letting go that we have all actually convinced ourselves that we have let go, when in fact, we haven’t at all.
For example, of the hundreds of clients that I’ve worked with over the years, about 90% of them repeat some variation of this statement when they start working with me:
“Oh the past? Yeah, I’ve let all that go already.”
I smile and let it slide because I can read the person’s energy and I know my clients aren’t intentionally lying about this. They honestly do believe they have let the past go. But then, as we start working together, we hit the old wounds.
And that’s when they see it.
That’s when they realize that what they thought was taken care of or resolved was in fact, still lingering and infesting their whole lives.
And if this is true in your own life, you’re gonna love this week’s video.

#askchristina I am trying to let go of childhood sexual trauma followed years later by mental, physical and sexual abuse at the hands of my children’s father and years after that enjoying then loosing my twin flame.
I intend on following your steps through to forgiveness but I am a little hesitant to endure all the pain that all this has brought me #pleasehelp.
