Release to Rise: What Letting Go Really Means—and How Energy Art Can Help

Release isn’t the end — it’s the beginning. Let your space and your spirit rise.

When you let go of what no longer supports you, you create space for something new to rise.

We talk a lot about “letting go” — of clutter, stress, old stories, or patterns that no longer fit. But release isn’t about forcing change or fixing yourself. It’s about noticing what you’re ready to loosen and allowing your space to support that shift.

The Release Collection was created for those moments when life feels heavy, crowded, or out of alignment — and you sense that something wants to change, even if you don’t yet know what comes next.

What It Really Means to Release

Releasing doesn’t mean giving up.
It means making space.

During a four-hour silent meditation, I received a message that became the heart of this collection:

“For everything I release, something new and better will come.”

That wisdom continues to guide both my life and my art.

Release is a conscious choice to free yourself from energy that no longer supports who you are now — without denial, judgment, or force.

You might be releasing:

  • limiting beliefs about what’s possible for you

  • emotional weight you’ve carried for too long

  • stories that no longer feel true

  • the pressure to be someone you’re not

  • physical or energetic clutter that creates stress in your space

On the other side of release is lightness.
Clarity.
Breathing room.

What Release Energy Supports

The energy of Release supports spaces where you want to:

  • feel calmer and more grounded

  • soften emotional or mental clutter

  • move through transitions with steadiness

  • create room for healing, clarity, and renewal

This work doesn’t push or provoke.
It works quietly — like a deep exhale your body already knows how to take.

Place it where you reflect, reset, or breathe deeply. Let it support your own release—again and again.

How Energy Art Helps You Let Go

Art is energy made visible. It’s not just something you look at — it’s something you live with.

The pieces in the Release Collection are created to hold the feeling of letting go: flowing forms, gentle dissolves, soft movement, and spaciousness. Each one is designed to support release in a way that feels safe, natural, and supportive over time.

Placed in a space where you pause, reflect, or reset, the art becomes a quiet ally — a reminder that you’re allowed to loosen your grip, and that release can be soft.

Explore Release Through the Saturday Night Energy Art Shows

I share the Release Collection through my Saturday Night Energy Art Shows, where I talk about the intention behind the work and show how different pieces express different forms of letting go.

These short videos offer a visual, intuitive way to experience the collection — and to see how Release energy shows up in real spaces like bedrooms, living rooms, and quiet corners meant for rest and reflection.

Not Sure Where to Begin?

 Take the quiz. If you’re unsure which energy your space needs right now — Release, Attract, Connect, or Evolve — I created a short quiz to help guide you.

A Final Note

Release doesn’t rush you.
It doesn’t ask you to become someone else.

It simply creates space —
so you can move forward carrying less,
and living more in alignment with where you are now.
