Letting Go

Monk focusing on mandalaMonk Mandala Final

 

 

 

 

 

A couple of weeks ago 5 Monks from the Drepung Loseling Monastery in India visited my hometown of Maplewood NJ. Their purpose: to create this stunning sand mandala. They spent more than 30 hours, over the course of 6 days, to complete it.

The Green Tara mandala was chosen as the design for this project.  The Green Tara symbolizes protection, health, happiness, wisdom, abundance and success.  The mandala is created with the intention of activating these healing energies.

Each day the crowds would gather in Maplewood’s Woodland Center to watch as the Monks painstakingly laid grains of sand into the Green Tara design.  Mesmerized, we gazed at the beauty of the expanding mandala, grateful to step out of the summer heat into this place of otherworldly peace. A community experience like none before.

When the  mandala was completed, the Monks brought the project to a close with a ceremony of deep chanting. Next, one of the monks stepped forward to sweep the entire design into a swirl of colored sand.

The intricate design, that took days to create, destroyed within a matter of minutes.

The sand was later poured in a nearby brook, allowing the water to carry the healing energies throughout the world.

And then it was over.  And the Monks went on their way, leaving us to ponder this message of impermanence.

It was hard.  Hard letting go of that stunning mandala. Hard letting go of the Monks. Hard letting go of the rare, ethereal community experience.

It felt so unusual. To witness and celebrate the destruction of such incredible beauty.  And then to let it go.  I didn’t want to let go.

And then I remembered the meaning of the lesson.  That NOTHING at all is permanent.  Letting go is essential.

Whether or not we resist letting go determines our experience. Holding on to what’s gone, no matter how beautiful, only leads to suffering.  It’s in the letting go of a moment’s beauty that we allow it to emerge again and again.

But alas, it’s not just the good moments that are impermanent.  It’s the challenging ones as well.  If nothing is permanent, we get to let go of it all.

When nothing is permanent, everything is possible.

What my clients say:

Thank you so much for the session yesterday. It’s so freeing to feel grounded and energetically unblocked at the same time. You’ve been such an incredible guide and support this past year. I’m astounded by how much I’ve learned and how far I’ve come.

~Diana F.

THANK YOU.  I'm sure you must hear testimonials all the time, but just your presence, voice and spirit make a huge difference in the way I think and do things - and I change! It's really a miracle, and you are the catalyst. Your guidance is invaluable.

~D.G.

Thank you so much, Marian!  I have held such appreciation in my heart for you and for the powerful work you have done with me.  I want to come see you for some more matrix reimprinting and EFT.  The more I expand the more I see. And I see more opportunities to release old ways and adopt new patterns that will serve my fullest expression of my soul's journey.

Thank you for agreeing to speak at NAO Wellness! I loved hearing your story, it’s so captivating and inspiring.  The feedback from the workshop was amazing – participants said it was transformative, that the energy in the room completely shifted, and more. I was truly blown away, I’m still feeling all the good vibes. You are such a gift.

~ Nikki Ostrower, Founder and Principal Nutritionist at NAO Wellness.

Our session was incredible. I’m still in absolute awe at how quickly you led me to the core issues that were tangling me up. So often I would feel the impact of the inner critical voice on my emotions (I’d FEEL depressed, overwhelmed, stuck, anxious)…but I never knew what the core limiting beliefs exactly were. That you exposed them so effortlessly amazes me. I’m blown away by how good I feel – truly it is like I’m breathing deeper, feeling lighter, clearer– an everyday-kind-of joy just feels so much more accessible right now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your work- I can’t wait to continue further with you!

I started working with Marian over four years ago when I was experiencing recurrent miscarriages. It was an extremely vulnerable and traumatic time and I was lucky to find Marian through a friend’s recommendation. I had never done anything besides talk therapy previously and I was unfamiliar with EFT but I knew I needed something different. Marian educated me about EFT and its benefits. She tailored each session to my unique needs depending on what was going on for me emotionally and also used visualizations and breathwork. These are skills that I  also used on my own outside of our sessions. Marian is extremely skilled, grounding, empathetic and insightful. Even when I didn’t know what I needed, she listened and intuitively knew what to do. Her guidance helped me heal and move forward in my quest to be a mother. Our work together has truly been transformative for me and I continue to value our work now that I’m a new mother and am faced with new challenges.
