Hard to Let Go in The Present Moment

[Raptorsin7]

I just did a 90 minute float in an isolation tank, and when i brought my attention to the present set of emotions/feelings and tried to let go, I found there  so much tension in the present moment and i just couldn't let it go. I tried to say to myself "let it go" and then see what happens, but i just felt like I was aware of the fact that i clearly have not let go fully, and yet i have no idea how to let go further.

It's contradictory. First you must let go of the need to let go.

What you are actually doing is resisting those thoughts and sensations by trying hard to let them go. This way they're amplified.

Realize it's all here and now. Include it all instead of trying to exclude anything. Do nothing and observe. Everything will unravel on it's own.

Focus on the breath.
