“We lost not only through death, but also by leaving and being left, by changing and letting go and moving on. And our losses include not only our separations and departures from those we love, but our conscious and unconscious losses of romantic dreams, impossible expectations, illusions of freedom and power, illusions of safety -- and the loss of our own younger self, the self that thought it would always be unwrinkled and invulnerable and immortal.” SelfDreamMovingLostLeftLossImpossibleLetting GoIllusionExpectationsConsciousSafetyLeavingSeparationUnconsciousImmortalDepartureThose We LoveLetting Go And Moving OnConscious And UnconsciousYounger SelfIllusion Of Freedom Author:Judith Viorst

At a certain point it's conscious, unconscious, everything is kind of coming together.” ThinkingKindTogetherCertainLetting GoPerceptionConsciousDancingUnconsciousUrgesFreezeComing Together Author:Michael Light
“My sport has transformed my body to be powerful for a specific task over years of training and competition. The more tuned for competition I am, the less "feminine" I look, and it has made me feel powerful on the track but self-conscious in the sack. That transformed for me as I let go of feminine ideals of all kinds, in work, parenting, etc.” FeelsYearsLooksKindMadeSelfBodySportsPowerfulLetting GoTrainingConsciousIdealsTasksCompetitionTrackAll KindsEtcFeminineTransformedSelf Conscious Author:Lauren Fleshman
“To have conscious communication with the angels - we all are continuously and unconsciously connecting with our angels, whether we know it or not - you would start in a place you feel comfortable, all by yourself, so you don't feel self-conscious. Then, just think of something you would like help with. For example, say, "Angels, I want a wonderful new job that exercises all my talents and everything I've learned - so I will wake up on Monday mornings and say 'Yippee!' - and that comfortably pays all my bills, plus some." You ask, and then the next step is to let go.” ThinkingHelpingMorningWonderfulTalentCommunicationExerciseLetting GoConsciousAngelWake UpMondayNew JobMonday Morning Author:Doreen Virtue
