Week Five: Hod (Surrender)
Hod, or surrender, functions as the opposite of Netzach. Just as endurance can be essential, sometimes it is time to let go. How do you know when it’s time to push forward, and when you would be better served to surrender?
This week, call to mind something that you’d like to let go of—it could be something hurtful that someone’s said to you, or a belief that you’ve outgrown and are feeling the need to compost. Whatever it is, write it down on a piece of paper and place it in a fire-safe bowl or container. Light the piece of paper on fire and watch what you’d like to let go of burn away.
