September Tidbits: Letting Go

A Dark Night of the Soul, Aligned Action, Leaps of Faith. Good Grief this Year of the Horse has certainly shown it’s power. As we round the corner into the last part of the calendar- what’s next?

Let Go. Let God.

Whatever your beliefs may be, feel free to replace the word “God” with Universe, Source, Divine, The Force—or whatever speaks to you.

Here’s the thing: we’ve been trained to approach everything with our thinking mind. To believe that everything is a problem to solve, a situation to control, and that the more we “do,” the more valuable we are. We’ve discussed getting out of the thinking mind, and tuning into our inner guidance system to take action, but what about when there is no action to be taken? You’ve made your choices, taken the action, and now— you feel like you’re just waiting. Waiting for the Universe to catch up with all this aligned, clear, challenging yet beautiful work that you just put out into the world. So what’s happening? Where are the results? It feels like there’s been a shift, clearly something is different, but it doesn’t seem like the outside world is reflecting the awesomeness I’m ready for. What’s up with that?

Letting go doesn’t mean giving up, sitting on the couch eating ice cream. It means going out into the world, doing your thing, recognizing all the beauty and good that surrounds your life already, and trusting that there’s more coming your way than you could possibly even imagine. It means not obsessing over what isn’t, but appreciating what is. Right now. In every present moment. It seems simple, and it is. But as I tell my clients, simple does NOT, in ANY way, imply that it’s easy.

Here’s another kicker, you’ve likely done this with other things in your past, I certainly have. (More on this in my YouTube coming this month.) But, when the stakes are higher, or we’re more invested in the outcome, it feels harder to do. Why? Basically we’re being asked to do a version of this “letting go” practice that we’ve never done before. We are being challenged, given an opportunity to grow and level-up who we are as an individual.

A friend once said to me: “It’s not really ‘letting go,’ because you’re not losing anything, you’re just letting it be, exactly as it is.” A form of radical acceptance.

• BMS Coaching: Special Sale going on now through September 17th

Get your Discounted Rate Today!: $333 for 3 sessions!

BMS Coaching (short for Body.Mind.Spirit) is a comprehensive blend of gentle guided physical practices, life coaching, and energetic integration. Each session usually involves breathing exercises, somatic movement (connecting mind and body and prevent over-thinking), Life Coaching (addressing your goals, road blocks, strengths and struggles), a calling in of your Higher Self and/or Source connection. Action items and tools are provided for continued progress beyond the session.

Here’s what one client has to say after their first session:

“My BMS coaching session with Ashley was deeply insightful. Through breath and movement, she helped me get out of my head which allowed us to uncover the underlying cause of what I had come to the session to explore further. I wouldn't have made such a quick connection to the root cause on my own. I left with real clarity and clear actionable next steps. I'm excited to keep the momentum going with more sessions!”

• Reiki/Coaching Combo

These sessions are currently donation based. Coaching (from above) and Reiki come together for maximum results. The first part of the session includes Coaching. We’ll touch on the 4 realms of your life (Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual) which allows me to see a snapshot of your life along with your current needs and desires. Then we move on to Reiki. Reiki is the practice of channeling lifeforce energy. I act as a conduit for Source to aid in clearing blocks, imbalances or stagnant energy from your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual body. Our flow of energy is affected by our thoughts, feelings and memories. Which impacts our physical health, mental wellbeing, relationships, and more. These energy healings are opportunities for deep nourishment and restoration.

• Personal Training

Utilizing my CrossFit, Yoga, Strength Training, Breathwork and Nutrition education- I create a personalized, unique path for achieving your goals. Together we’ll increase your fitness, strength, mobility, longevity and overall health.

*Private Sessions are held at CrossFit AllCity in Glenside, PA.

Recent Reiki Testimonial:

“I really wasn’t sure what to expect from my first Reiki treatment, but Ashley immediately made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and completely at ease.

Following months of debilitating pain and sleepless nights from severe carpal tunnel syndrome, I was ready to try something new. Immediately following our session I noticed a deep sense of relaxation, peace, and reduced pain, but the real win came that evening when I was able to sleep through the night, and I hadn’t slept through the night in months.

Ashley has a calming presence and creates a peaceful environment where you can truly let go of stress and allow your body to heal. Whether you’re looking for pain relief, relaxation, or simply a chance to reset, I highly recommend giving her Reiki sessions a try. I’m exceptionally grateful for her and will definitely be back.”
