Letting Go
"... it doesn't matter how many plans we have made with one another, once our time with each other is up we must let go…"
— Mai Ka Yang
8 months into my spiritual journey I ended up cutting ties with my ex-master. It happened suddenly and not even myself was able to get a grasp of the situation until the actual moment.
When I started my spiritual journey my guides told me I only needed a master until I’m able to be on my own. I didn’t know how long and what they meant so I never told anyone. During those 8 months there were multiple times I felt disconnected to what I was doing. I had my own struggles and blockages both physically and spiritually and most importantly I’ve been given multiple signs showing that it’s almost time. I just didn’t understand it.
The night I made the decision to cut ties with my ex-master my guides took me to meet with her guides. To cut ties with them and to bid farewell. All that’s left was to bid farewell to her in-person, which I did shortly after.
The time I spent with my ex-master will always be something I treasured. I learned a lot about what it means to be a spiritual healer and what to do and not to do. I am grateful.
When it comes to cutting ties, similar to any relationships we build, it doesn't matter how many plans we have made with one another, once our time with each other is up we must let go. Such moments mark a time of growth for both parties. For me, in this particular situation - though there were more reasons to why I decided to cut ties, the main reason was because it was my time. It was time to dive deeper into self discovery.
It was my time for self mastery. I needed to be on my own. To learn about my own gift and to learn about my capabilities. I no longer need the guidance of others. Going on forward I needed to follow my own guidance, the guidance of my higher self and my team. I am my own master.
When I became my own master was when my true journey began. This was when all my training started kicking off. Everything before that was meant to prepare me for this very moment.
Having been my own master hasn’t been easy either. From the moment I cut off ties to the first two weeks of being on my own, I fought darkness. Every time I went into trance and was in a meditated state I was surrounded by darkness and bad energies. I fought against it until I cut off all karmic ties, broke a barrier, and did some saving.
What I learned from these situations and similar situations is that in life not many people will understand and support our every decision. As individuals we must remember this, people are not obligated to understand it. They don’t walk in our shoes. Regardless, this doesn’t make us any less important than before, this simply sets as a reminder that we are all uniquely different. Our gifts are also uniquely different and catered to us. No one knows of its true potential unless they are us.
We also must learn to accept, forgive and let go. Whether there were promises or not, the future is unforeseen. We can’t beg someone to stay if they’re not meant to stay. We can’t beg someone to support us if they don’t share the same vision as us. Holding onto someone will only get ourselves stuck. It doesn’t do anyone good and will only harm us further.
Additionally, we must watch what we say. When we speak, use it as an opportunity to teach others and to help others learn from us and our situations instead of going around pointing fingers. In all situations, good or bad, there is something we all can learn from. Choose growth and peace instead of bitterness, instability, and revenge.
From my lesson learned to yours. May we all continue to grow with one another.
Love & Light,
Mai Ka (MK) Yang
