When my student asked in frustration: “What am I fuc*ing letting go to?!?” this was the answer: You are letting go to the real you. The real you is never born and never dies. The real you is your Soul… your True Self. The solution is already made.
Just like nature is already existing and thriving, there is a flow, a Grace, and energy of Life that you let go to. Feeling pushes us into surrendering to a greater Love….to our own Being. It is why we resist feeling. Feeling emotions without adding a story is actually a portal to our self-realization.
We suffer when we add a negative story to our pain. Why? Feeling is healing, and feeling IS how we let go. The story keeps us holding on and stuck. Life has pain, but when we ADD a blaming story such as: “It must be something wrong with me” or “It is their fault,” this IS suffering.
The story causes us to forget our innocence and blocks our capacity to feel the Flow of Life. When we let go, we are letting go to the good that’s already there. Faith has a mental, spiritual alchemy that helps us let Life IN and invites the growth of a new story that supports our fundamental goodness.
One of my indigenous teachers described it this way. If you had a huge whiteboard and you put one black dot on it, That dot is what we actually “know.” The white part of the board is Grace or Lifes Flow waiting to move through us. 
It’s not what we don’t know that gets us in trouble. It’s what we think we know for sure that keeps the “they’ve done it to me” syndrome alive.
Letting our minds move into the mystery, we open up to solutions, and an empowering frequency of life is FOR me. (curiosity and creativity are crucial to happiness.)
Life is not happening to you; It happens for you. The mind caught in right or wrong will not understand this, but your Soul or heart-centered awareness understands this perfectly.
Let go, and this expanded awareness will arise. Receive help: Spiritual healing and guidance barbrawhite.com
