Welcome to the fifth issue of The Invitation, where each week I share a question to explore in your Akashic Records or through self-inquiry so you can connect with yourself, trust your intuition, and invite miracles into your life.

This week, I invite you to explore the question, What am I being invited to let go of control around?

Last week, we explored what you’re being asked to create, so it felt like the perfect next question to follow is: What am I being invited to let go of control around? Because let’s be honest, surrender can feel really hard to understand sometimes. To create space, we need to let go of how things “should” be. But what does that actually look like practically in your life? 

I’m not here to pretend I’m a master at it (because I’m most certainly not). Loosening my grip and releasing control is an ongoing practice, one I’m deeply committed to but still learning every single day. Maybe you can relate? My natural way of being is to grip. To decide what I want, picture how it should unfold, and hold on tight. But every time I try to control the outcome or the timing, I end up feeling more disconnected to the magic of what’s possible.

What I’ve seen, time and time again, is that when I actually let go, when I take that leap of faith and trust the Universe to catch me, things always work out, and often in ways I couldn’t have planned. It’s the ongoing prayer: this or something better. Letting go makes space for new possibilities I hadn’t even considered.

Letting go of control means trusting that what’s meant for you will find its way in the right time and the right way, even if it looks nothing like you imagined. That’s where the real practice lives: in learning to be in relationship with the unknown, to trust the space between what you want and what’s unfolding.

One way I’ve been shifting this energy of control is through my daily prayers. I used to say “please” — please let this happen, please make this work. Now, I start with “thank you.” Thank you for guiding me. Thank you for supporting what’s meant for me. It’s a small shift, but it’s changed so much.

If it resonates, I invite you to try it on this week and see how it feels. You don’t have to get it perfect or feel totally surrendered. Just practice loosening your grip, even a little. You might be surprised by what opens up when you do.

HOW TO EXPLORE THIS QUESTION IN YOUR RECORDS:

If you’re opening your Records this week, bring this question with you: What am I being invited to let go of control around?

Start by grounding yourself. Take a few slow breaths. Feel your body being held and supported. When you’re ready, open your Records using the Universal Akashic Prayer (or follow along with me on YouTube if you’d like extra support).

Once you’re in your Records, ask the question and just notice what comes through. Maybe you receive a clear message, or maybe it’s more of a feeling in your body. A sense of tension softening, an image, or a quiet knowing. However it shows up, trust that it’s enough.

You can take it deeper by asking follow-up questions like:

• What am I holding onto that’s ready to be released?
• Why have I felt the need to control this situation or outcome?
• How would it feel to surrender this and trust the process?
• What support is already available to me as I let go?

Let whatever arises unfold naturally. There’s no need to rush or try to make sense of everything right away. Sometimes the guidance unfolds slowly, like a conversation that continues throughout your week.

When you close your Records, take a few minutes to write down what you noticed, or simply sit with it in silence. Ask yourself, What would it look like to take one small intentional action step towards letting go?

If you're new to the Records or looking to deepen your practice, I recommend taking my How To Read The Akashic Records Course, which will teach you the exact framework I use for myself and my clients, including the Universal Akashic Prayer and Guided Grounding Meditation. Learn more & join here.

HOW TO EXPLORE THIS QUESTION THROUGH SELF-INQUIRY:

You don’t have to open your Records to explore this invitation. You can take the question with you on a walk, while journaling, or even as you go about your day.

Ask yourself: “What am I being invited to let go of control around?”

Then pause. Notice what stirs inside you. You might feel an immediate answer, or it may take a little time to reveal itself. Either way, trust what comes.

If it helps, you can write or reflect on a few gentle prompts:

• What feels tight or tense in my life right now? Where am I gripping?
• Why do I feel the need to control this? What am I afraid might happen if I let go?
• How might things shift if I allowed this to unfold in its own time?
• What would it look like to trust that everything is working out for me?

You might find that your answers change depending on the day, and that’s okay. Let this question meet you where you are.

And if you want to try something simple, play with shifting your inner dialogue throughout the week. Instead of saying, “Please let this happen,” try, “Thank you for guiding me. Thank you for supporting what’s meant for me.” It’s a small but powerful way to move from gripping to gratitude.

Letting go isn’t about giving up. It’s about allowing space for what’s truly meant for you to arrive, in its own timing and its own way.
