What does 'Letting go' mean to you?

[InfinitePotential]

I hear about and have practiced "letting go" a lot. It seems to me to be among the highest and most valuable practices for spiritual insights, well-being, and inner peace. 

I find myself wondering though, what exactly does it mean to let go? What are some other ways of putting it?

For me, it's dropping all effort. Ultimate relaxation. Not clinging to or avoiding experience. Letting things be as they are.

Any other descriptions? How does one 'let go'?

Two of the primary qualities of letting go are openness and surrender.

Letting go of the focus attention into your thoughts.

Let go and focus the attention on Breath and the pumping Heart as if your life would depend on it. It gets easier with practice.

For me letting go is - a big, big outbreath. Kind of like the last one you would ever have.

Surrender/Acceptance

I prefer the term: Letting Be or Let it Be

It seems to work better.
