In a Nutshell

The core message is that fear and discomfort arise from resistance and mental projections about how we'll feel, not from external events themselves. The practice of letting go means relaxing the body, sitting with fear without suppression or avoidance, and trusting a higher intelligence rather than trying to control outcomes. True freedom and peak performance come from releasing tension, surrendering to the flow, and shifting from "my will" to "thy will" through appreciation and trust.

Surrender and letting go appears foreign to achiever-oriented people, but it is actually what occurs when achieving the most, giving the most, and contributing the most. The balance between intention, setting outcomes, making things happen, and breaking through requires holism where all parts of the self remain alive.

At peak performance, letting go is what occurs. Greatest peak performers in leadership and sports prepare and then let go, relaxing into the flow rather than performing with tension. When tense, you try to perform as opposed to allowing flow.

Letting go means remaining centered and conscious enough to watch yourself resist what you do not like coming in. Once you notice resistance, ask whether it is worth resisting. Talking to the driver in front of you accomplishes nothing because they do not hear you, yet the resistance continues.

Consciousness develops when recognizing that resistance causes self-inflicted trouble without any cost-benefit analysis. The answer lies in relaxation. When discomfort arises, tension begins in the body. The practice involves relaxing the shoulders, tummy, buttocks, pelvis outside and inside.

Tension feels uncomfortable because it represents protection against something that requires no protection. The realization emerges that you cause yourself trouble by getting tense and upset. Relaxing and releasing equates to trust, a total trust that guidance exists.

During a legal circumstance, the instruction was to keep letting go, with the assurance that continued letting go would cause the situation to dissolve and go away. Waves of discomfort, fear, terror, and overwhelm arose during the process, but maintaining the North Star of letting go provided a living, breathing example that became a way of being.

Power does not come from manipulation, trying, and striving. It comes from being in tune. The ability to relax in the face of discomfort allows the discomfort to pass through, revealing that resistance was the only reason for the discomfort. When out of the way, natural flow occurs. When not out of the way, only mental chatter is heard, creating tension and anxiety about decisions.

The question is not whether God exists, but whether you are willing to stop talking long enough to listen. Most people have so much mental chatter inside their head that they cannot let flow come through. Prayer becomes effective when entering silence because energy is emanated. Prayer can heal and accomplish many things.
