Release what's holding you back. Embracing ease and transformation
This week, the energy is calling for a powerful release—a breaking free from the subtle tension that’s been building in our hearts, minds, and bodies. There’s been a feeling of “holding back,” a sense that something important is just on the other side of the horizon, but it hasn't quite arrived yet. You’ve likely been feeling the pull between wanting to move forward and hesitating at the edge of the unknown.
But now, that’s shifting.
The message for this week is all about leaning into this energy with ease, letting go of resistance, and allowing the natural flow of transformation to carry you into the next chapter of your journey. In this forecast, I’ll guide you through what this release looks like in practical terms and how you can harness the energy to create space for more love, joy, and abundance in your life.
The Power of the Pause Before the Release
Imagine standing at the edge of a river, watching the water swirl and gather speed before it cascades over a waterfall. The moment before the release is where you might feel the most tension. There’s a buildup of momentum, and it’s tempting to hold on tightly, afraid of what will happen when you finally let go. That’s where many of us are energetically right now—on the cusp of release, but still holding onto the familiar.
This week’s energy is asking you to recognize that the tension is not something to be feared or resisted, but rather embraced as part of the process. It’s the universe’s way of preparing you for the leap forward. By holding back, you’ve been gathering strength, learning lessons, and building the foundation needed for the next step.
Now, the time has come to let go and trust the flow.
Releasing the ‘Hold-Back’ Patterns
Many of us have deeply ingrained patterns of holding back that stem from fear, doubt, or a need for control. You might recognize some of these patterns in yourself:
- Procrastination: You know what you need to do, but you keep delaying it. There’s a sense of waiting for the “right” time, but in reality, that time is now.
- Perfectionism: You’re waiting until everything is perfectly aligned before you take action, but the truth is, perfection is an illusion that keeps you stuck.
- Fear of the Unknown: You’re holding back because you’re unsure of what’s on the other side of the decision or change, but growth only happens when we step into the unknown.
- Overthinking: You’re trapped in looping thoughts, trying to figure everything out before moving forward, but sometimes the clarity comes through action, not thinking.
If you find yourself resonating with any of these, know that this week’s energy is offering you the opportunity to release these hold-back patterns. It’s time to trust that you have everything you need to move forward.
How to Lean Into the Energy of Release
To fully embrace the release this week, there are a few practical steps you can take that will help you move from hesitation into empowered action:
Ask How can I do this with ease?
Instead of repeating thoughts, allow yourself to have a break and Not Know the answer. Remember it’s the fear it’s too hard that stops you. Let yourself know “It’s ok for it to be easy!”
2. Acknowledge What You’ve Been Holding Back On
Take a moment to reflect on what areas of your life you’ve been hesitating in. Is there a decision you’ve been putting off? A dream you’ve been afraid to pursue? A conversation you’ve been avoiding? Write these down. Naming them brings awareness, and awareness is the first step toward release.
3. Identify the Fear Behind the Resistance
Once you’ve acknowledged what you’ve been holding back on, dig deeper and ask yourself “why”. What’s the fear or belief that’s keeping you from moving forward? Are you afraid of failure? Of judgment? Of the unknown? When you bring these fears to light, they lose their power over you.
4. Surrender to the Flow
This week, practice the art of surrender. Surrender doesn’t mean giving up—it means releasing control and trusting that everything is unfolding exactly as it should. Whenever you feel the tension of holding back, take a deep breath, and remind yourself that you are supported. The universe is guiding you, and it’s safe to let go.
5. Take Aligned Action
The energy of release isn’t just about letting go; it’s about creating space for what’s next. Once you’ve released what’s been holding you back, take one small, aligned action toward your goals. This could be making a phone call, sending an email, signing up for a course, or even just speaking your truth to someone. It doesn’t have to be huge, but it should be intentional.
What You Can Expect After the Release
When you finally release the hold-back energy, you might be surprised at how quickly things start to shift. Opportunities that once felt blocked or out of reach will suddenly open up. You’ll feel lighter, more aligned, and more confident in your path.
One of the most beautiful aspects of this process is that it creates space for new energy to flow in. When you release the old—whether it’s a belief, a habit, or even a relationship—you invite something new and aligned to take its place. This is where the magic happens.
The things you’ve been longing for—love, happiness, joy, abundance—are all waiting for you, just on the other side of this release.
Energy Practices to Support Your Release
Incorporating some simple energy practices this week can help you align with the flow and ease of the release process:
1. Grounding Meditation
Spend a few minutes each morning connecting into yourself. Visualize settling back into your body and allow the feeling of relaxation and calm to move through you. This will help you feel supported as you navigate the unknown.
2. Journaling
Write about what you’re ready to have. This creates a powerful energetic shift from holding on to letting go. Leaning into your desires.
3. Energy Clearing
Join our weekly Online Group Healing to release blockages preventing you from embracing the new.
Alternatively book a private Happiness Healing session with Ruth for specific personal support.
4. Affirmations
Affirmations are a powerful way to retrain your mind and energy field. This week, try using affirmations like:
- “I release what no longer serves me with ease and grace.”
- “I trust the flow of life and know that I am always supported.”
- “I am open to receiving new opportunities, love, and abundance.”
Repeat these affirmations daily to reinforce the energy of release and transformation.
Closing Thoughts: Trust the Process
The energy this week is a gift. It’s offering you the chance to release what’s been holding you back and step into a more expansive, joyful, and abundant version of yourself. The key is to trust the process, lean into the support, and know that everything is unfolding for you.
As you move through this week, remember that you are not alone. The universe is guiding you, supporting you, and cheering you on. All you need to do is let go, trust, and take the next step.
Here’s to releasing with ease and welcoming the flow of new possibilities into your life.
You are ready for this.

Ruth
