We have all heard that letting go is the key to finding happiness and getting over pain, but it’s rarely as easy as it sounds. When we are really deep in it – when we are overcome with anger… fear… stress… grief – it can seem like there is no way out. No matter how desperately we want to let go of it all, we feel stuck. It’s so easy to let our minds take us for a ride, but the truth is that the only way out is through. The only way to free ourselves is to feel deeply and fully – to learn how to let it all in… then let it all go. This journey is bumpy, messy, beautiful, powerful, and – most of all – human.
This session is presented as a preview of Martin’s upcoming course Free Your Mind: How to Build a Daily Meditation Practice.
Discussion
Thank you Martin. I love the images of open sky and flutterbys. The journey inward to give care an attention to the emotion of persistant thought patterns needs persistence though, eh! and then I think well how often have I rehearsed this kind of story , so it seems I need to catch up with that by repeated attention, again, and again, and again…
