"Let Go and Let Flow – A Surrender Meditation for Authentic Alignment"
by Claire Marie Kohout, BS, HTP, JSJP
Chapter 7
In this chapter, Claire Marie Kohout reframes the idea of surrender, often seen as weakness or defeat, as a powerful spiritual and emotional tool for healing and authentic living. Drawing from a personal story from high school, she describes how holding onto toxic friendships out of fear and a desire for approval caused deep emotional distress and disconnection from her true self. When a breaking point came—after her friends committed a serious crime—she made the difficult but empowering decision to let go.
Surrendering in this context means releasing resistance and embracing radical acceptance, allowing one's life to flow in alignment with one's authentic self. Kohout describes how this act of letting go helped her move out of toxic patterns, deepen her self-worth, and eventually come out as queer. It opened the door to healthier relationships and a more meaningful, joyful life.
She uses the metaphor of a river: staying stuck in the shallows feels safe but causes struggle and pain, while flowing in the river’s center offers perspective, ease, and direction.
The chapter ends with a meditation tool to support this practice of surrender:
*Focus on the heart center.
*Identify areas of resistance or discomfort.
*Visualize releasing these feelings using a natural element (e.g., water).
*Allow the frequency of love to fill the cleared space.
*Repeat the process as needed to maintain heart coherence and alignment.
Ultimately, Claire Marie encourages the reader to surrender not in defeat, but in trust, trusting one's intuition, self-worth, and the wisdom of letting go to live with authenticity and flow.
In this class, you will need:
*A quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed.
*A journal or notebook and pen.
*A mindset of openness and compassion.
