Forgiveness and letting go walk hand in hand.
One softens the heart. The other frees the soul.
So when we stumble across a teaching that expands our understanding of letting go in a truly profound way, it deserves to be shared widely.
A Talk That Truly Blew Me Away
Recently, my dear friend, Rev. Nichola (Nikki) Johnson, gave a talk at Centers for Spiritual Living Tahoe-Truckee on the subject of Letting Go.
I don’t often stop everything I’m doing to rewatch a spiritual lesson — but this one?
I’ve already listened three times.
It is packed with insights, stories, and perspectives that gently stretch you beyond wherever you are sitting in your forgiveness journey. Truly, each time I watch it, I hear something new. It’s that rich.
Nikki is one of the most brilliant, charming, deeply spiritual people I’ve ever known. An interfaith minister with a lifetime of contemplative study, she carries wisdom from around the world — including the many months each year she spends in India — and delivers it with such warmth and clarity that you can’t help but grow.

Expand your understanding of what it means to truly let go--you may think you are already letting go, but trust me, Nikki will point out places where you are not...yet

-
Help you understand what it really means to truly be in grace
-
Allow you to place even more trust in spirit to create positively in our lives, and that means sometimes allowing spirit to expand on the limited possibilities we see for ourselves

Nikki takes the concept of letting go and lifts it onto a whole new level — not as a cliché, but as a living spiritual practice that opens the door to profound freedom.
