How to let go of the ego?

How to let go of the ego?, For centuries people are dealing with the question how to let go of the ego.

The ego has been seen as the enemy, that needs to be conquered. It's usually handeld in a very agressive way.

If we look at history or even to our own children, we know that forcing never works. And especially not out of fear.

We battle the ego, like it has to be banished. Like the devil was banished, because it was evil, now the ego is the new evil in these days.

Very slowly people are realizing the ego has a purpose, it's a part of us.

People with huge ego's, are usually very unhappy and insecure. There are many wonderful books about the ego, especially from Eckhart Tolle.

The ego whispers negative things in our ear, and puts us down. Sometimes the ego takes over the voice of your parents, or people around you from your past, who have tried to dominate you.

How do you let the ego go?
It's easy, but the way towards letting the ego go, is a lot of practice. It's also a way of living more consciously, especially what you are thinking about yourself; your inner dialogue.

See the ego as part of yourself, a part you can Love, and no longer has to be suppressed, or to be feared. Just let it BE.

As soon as the ego starts in your head again, the inner dialogue becomes very negative. Try to see yourself from a distance, like you would be a stranger.

Observe the ego, what kind of tricks it's using to get your attention. And if you don't respond, the ego puts on a dramatic show, and tries to scare you even more! Some people even get physical pain, or panic attacks.

Try to be friends with your ego, of course the ego will fight this at first.

It's very easy to heal the ego, go to your heart chakra. Lay your hands on your heart chakra, and open yourself up to Source or God Energy. Ask if you may receive Unconditional Love.

(You could use a Rose Quartz crystals, or Morganite and Kunzite, which are related to the heart chakra).

Each time the ego plays his dramatic role, this is a sign of low self-esteem, and a sign to LOVE yourself more!

Most people finds this very difficult, because of their traumatic childhood, they have learned to suppress their emotions, and especially loving themselves. But you are a grown up now, and you can save yourself.

Let your fears go, and heal yourself, please give yourself permission to heal yourself!

The ego is no more than your shadow side, but you can learn a lot from it. Your ego will show you your deepest pain, trauma's and Soul pain. By listening what the ego tells you, you can go deeper within yourself. Peel off layer after layer, to eventually get to your Core Being of Love.

The Higher Self will them embrace you, and give you all the Love you need to heal.

Of course the ego will come back from time to time, but this is always a sign, you have neglected yourself, and you need to back to basic; to Pure and Unconditional Love.

Love is your birthright, don't ever forget it! Live in peace with your ego, and know the ego can give you the most beautiful and valuable lessons about yourself.
