The Art of Letting Go – How Real Healing Unlocks the Flow of Abundance

Over the years of teaching Reiki and meditation, It’s the norm for me to come into contact with people wanting to fix what feels broken: pain, anxiety, uncertainty, deep emotional wounds, etc. Nothing wrong with that; I’m pretty sure we’d all do the same thing.

But the deeper truth of this process is this: healing isn’t just about removing the pain or correcting the problem. That’s part of it for sure, but it’s not the heart of it.

Real healing begins when we stop resisting what is: what we’re experiencing in the moment. When we stop trying to control every twist and turn of life and instead soften into it. When we can learn to do that, that’s when healing becomes something richer, quieter, and far more powerful.

Healing isn’t somewhere you arrive. It’s a relationship you build, that creates space for clarity, resilience, and a deeper sense of abundance to unfold. It takes place when you stop demanding permanent solutions in an impermanent world.

When you can become still inside yourself, life starts flowing again.

The Paradox

The more we try to grip life tightly, the more it slips through our fingers. The more we fight what is, the more we block what could be.

Reiki, when practised correctly, isn’t about “doing healing.” It’s not about diagnosing, fixing, or pushing energy where you think it needs to go. That’s just ego dressed up in spirituality, and it’s one of the biggest reasons the practice has become (deservedly) ridiculed over recent years (there are plenty more reasons, and we’ll be unpacking them soon).

When practised well, Reiki is just a quiet invitation to step back and let things unfold. To allow the body, the breath, and the deeper rhythm of life to lead. To trust that not everything has to make sense before it starts working.

When you feel Reiki energy flowing through your body, it’s not something outside of you entering in. There really is no energy in the practice of Reiki. What you’re experiencing is the texture of consciousness passing through form. It’s the universe experiencing itself, reflected in the mirror of you. Healing, then, is not something you chase. It’s something you become aware of as you let go of needing to control it.

And the same goes for abundance. In fact, the ultimate in healing is to move into the flow of abundance.

You don’t “manifest” abundance by scripting it into a journal or controlling every detail of your life. You allow abundance to emerge when you stop trying to micro-manage your healing, your growth, your business, your relationships, everything.

Letting go isn’t passive. It’s powerful. It’s a conscious decision to stop resisting impermanence and start cooperating with the reality of now.
