Where Life Meets Art

Releasing expectations allows love to flow freely. Day 4. Through Love Even love can become heavy when we try to possess it. When someone doesn’t meet my expectations, hurt and anger follow. But when I release these expectations, love flows more freely. Simply seeing it as it is, accepting it as enough. Then love becomes light and free, and that freedom heals both you and me. Day 4. 사랑으로 사랑도 소유하려 들면 무거워진다. 내 기대에 맞지 않는 순간, 서운함과 분노가 따라오기 때문이다. 하지만 기대와 요구를 내려놓으면 사랑은 훨씬 더 부드럽게 흐른다. 그저 있는 그대로 바라보고, 그 자체로 충분하다고 인정하는 것. 그럴 때 사랑은 한결 가볍고 자유로워지고, 그리고 그 자유로운 사랑이 나와 너를 치유할수 있을것이다.  #LettingGo #MindfulJournal #Love #InnerPeace #DavidRHawkins

 Being fully present is the essence of letting go. Day 3. Being in the Present My mind always wanders. It dwells on yesterday’s mistakes, or worries about tomorrow that hasn’t come yet. And so, I often miss the present moment. Letting go calls me back to “now.” The breath I take, the sunlight brushing through the window, the leaves swaying in the wind. When I remain in the moment, the regrets of the past and anxieties about the future pause. And in that stillness, I feel fully alive.                                               Day3. 지금 이 순간 생각은 늘 제멋대로다. 어제의 실수를 떠올리며 자책하거나, 아직 오지 않은 내일을 걱정하며 불안해한다. 그래서 정작 지금 이 순간은 비워둔 채 흘려보내곤 한다. 놓아버림은 나를 ‘지금’으로 불러들인다. 깊게 들이마시는 숨, 따뜻한 햇살이 스치는 창가, 바람에 흔들리는 나뭇잎. 순간에 머물면, 과거의 후회도 미래의 불안도 잠시 멈춘다. 그리고 그 고요 속에서 온전히 살아있음을 느낀다. #Mindfulness #LettingGo #PresentMoment #InnerPeace #DavidRHawkins © Jaclyn Bae 2025

  When we release attachment, the heart grows light, and freedom brings new possibilities. 집착을 내려놓을 때, 마음은 가벼워지고 자유는 스스로 찾아온다 Day 2. Releasing Attachment What have I been holding on to so tightly? My children? My husband? Money? Or perhaps… myself? I wanted my children to graduate from good schools, to work in stable jobs, and to live secure and successful lives. I believed I had to achieve enough, to own enough, to live up to the high standards I set for myself. Over time, I built rigid frames of thought— and maybe even those became attachments. When things didn’t turn out the way I hoped, I labeled it as a failure, fell into discouragement, and pushed myself and those around me even harder in endless pursuit of what I thought I must accomplish. But now I realize— It was my own attachment That was binding me more tightly than anything else. When I opened my hands and let go, The world turned out to be wider than I ever imagined, And there were many more paths t...

  Small acts of letting go create freedom within. Day 1. Letting Go Today, unfamiliar feelings rise in my heart. Fear, anxiety, and an inexplicable tension. In the past, I would have tried to ignore them, or suppress them, hoping they would vanish quickly. But now it’s different. I don’t try to erase these emotions. I simply observe them quietly. “Ah, I’m feeling fear right now.” As I let them be, the emotions no longer hold me captive. Like clouds drifting across the sky, or leaves floating down a river, they gradually lose their grip. This is how letting go begins—in the smallest moments, with the tiniest choices. Day1. 흘려보내기 오늘도 마음속에 여러감정이 올라온다. 두려움, 불안, 설명할 수 없는 막연한 긴장감. 예전 같으면 애써 무시하거나, 빨리 사라지기를 바라며 억눌렀을 것이다. 하지만 이제는 달라졌다. 나는 감정을 지워내려 하지 않는다. 그저 조용히 바라본다. “아, 지금 두려움이 있구나.” 잠시 그대로 두자, 감정은 더 이상 나를 움켜쥐지 못한다. 마치 하늘을 흘러가는 구름처럼, 혹은 강물 위를 떠내려가는 나뭇잎처럼 그 감정은 서서히 힘을 잃어간다. 놓아버림은 이렇게 시작된다. 아주 작은 순간, 아주 작은 선택에서. #LettingGo #MindfulJournal #DavidRHawkins #InnerPeac...

  Key Summary of the Book: Letting Go / David Hawkins The Meaning of Letting Go "Letting go" is the process of acknowledging and releasing suppressed emotions, attachments, or fears without rejecting or repressing them. The reason we experience suffering is that we cling to emotions or situations. By letting go, we gain inner freedom and peace. The Energy Scale of Emotions Hawkins explains human emotions through the Consciousness Scale . Lower levels of consciousness: Shame → Guilt → Apathy → Fear → Desire → Anger → Pride Higher levels of consciousness: Courage → Neutrality → Joy → Love → Peace → Enlightenment By practicing "letting go," it is possible to gradually move from lower to higher levels of consciousness. The Technique of Surrender Surrender means allowing emotions or situations to unfold without trying to control them. For example, when fear arises, instead of avoiding or suppressing it, simply acknowledge it: "I feel fear....

A story of trembling between the comfort of routine and the call to start again — letting go to make room for a new life. Letting Go My husband decided to stop the work he had been doing. He’s not that old yet, and given our circumstances, quitting wasn’t something we could do lightly — but he wanted to start anew somewhere else. What should he do? Where should we go? In our mid-fifties, starting over feels risky, yet doing nothing feels wrong for someone still relatively young. When he first said he wanted to quit, I felt sympathy; his job had been wearing him down. It seemed right for him to look for something different. But once it actually happened, anxiety rushed in. My world began to tremble. Suddenly, the later years of my life felt uncertain. He wanted to leave; I wanted to keep what I knew. I had imagined a gentle life: putting down roots, planting flowers and vegetables, meeting people I like, and growing old in quiet contentment. I was satisfied with my daily routine and d...
