The Year of the 9: Embracing Change and the Practice of Letting Go

The Bible tells us, “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things” (1 Corinthians 13:7).

This verse is often used to justify holding on in unhealthy ways, but true love is not about enduring harm or tolerating toxic situations. Instead, it speaks to love’s resilience in the face of difficulty.

Healthy love endures because it is rooted in mutual respect, care, and alignment—not attachment or fear. Releasing what isn’t truly love is an act of faith, creating space for the kind of love that does endure.

“There is a time for everything… a time to plant and a time to uproot.” This wisdom from Ecclesiastes reminds us that life moves in cycles, and letting go is a part of growth. Endings are not failures but transitions, clearing space for new opportunities and blessings.

Trusting in life’s rhythms allows us to release control and flow with divine timing, making room for renewal.

Many of us were taught to equate love with suffering, believing it was virtuous to endure pain for others. This belief traps us in cycles of tolerance that limit our growth.

To move forward, we must redefine love as freedom, respect, and alignment with our highest selves. Letting go is not about losing—it’s about creating space for transformation and growth.

Spiritual teachers can help guide us in this endeavor. For example, Carolyn Myss urges us to release rigid expectations and let divine wisdom align us with our soul’s path.

Alan Watts likens resistance to change to drowning—true faith comes from relaxing and floating with life’s flow.

Kerry K reminds us that transformation is already here, and we are the gateway to change through our thoughts, actions, and presence. Together, they teach that surrender, trust, and aligned action are essential to embracing 2025’s energy of renewal.

The energy of 2025 invites us to actively co-create our lives. The changes we experience—whether chosen or unexpected—offer opportunities to align with our highest selves.

By staying present, conscious, and intentional, we can gracefully navigate this transformative year. Trust that you are not just experiencing change; you are the portal through which it unfolds.

At the Twin Tree Project, we’ll journey through 2025 together, navigating the moments of letting go, celebrating the joyful ones, and finding meaning in challenges. This blog will continue to explore spiritual truths, offering guidance and encouragement as we walk through this transformative year. Together, we’ll create a year of connection, growth, and renewal.
