# Letting Go Letting go should not translate into loss. But rather letting go should translate into fully experiencing without grasping to or fear of losing. Letting go is an art because it is a delicate balancing and act of movement. Surrender requires awareness of what is happening in the present moment and what is the true nature of those happenings. If we are in a habit of reactivity to our sensations in the moments we will follow the strong urge to multiply the strength of our convictions, biases, and thought cycles.
