Letting Go Of The Fear of Letting Go

One of the most common misconceptions about muscle tension is the belief that if you let go, you will fall apart. This fear is rooted in the idea that your body is rigid and fragile.

The reality is that your body is designed to move in powerful ways, dynamically, and in fluid patterns, spirally.

You are made for adaptability and movement, not stiffness. Taking this fact to heart will help you discover your innate ability for balance and support as you move through life. 

But if there is a lack of self-trust, you may become fearful that your body will unravel into chaos if you let go of your familiar muscular tension. Holding tight might seem like a good idea, and while this fear is understandable, it isn’t how your body works.

Your body works with dynamic ease and unity if it is allowed to find natural balance with the ground beneath your feet. This balance will enable you to gradually let go of all your unnecessary muscular tension. Your body will automatically know how to do this because it will feel safe. There is nothing you need to be 'doing', but once it's happening your body will find a pleasant, more expansive state, and start to connect with a broader sense of physical ease and belonging.

It is the most practical and liberating learning experience you can have with your body, and one I have been teaching for over 20 years.
