Let Go

Can you let go of the need to be something other than what you are right now?

Lay down on the floor, part the legs and arms, and let go.

See the way your mind keeps pulling you into different shapes, different perspectives, and realise that it's all and illusion.

As you continue to surrender, the mind begins to quieten, and in the silence you feel what it's like to be free, to be open and free, right here right now.

There is no future, there is no past. There is now.

This is what all the teachers are telling us, some in very convoluted ways, but this is it!

You are Here and Now and always will be.

What are you doing with this moment? Are you thinking ahead, trying to work out what you're going to do next, having imaginary conversations with people that aren't here. Rehearsing your life inside of your head? Wondering what it will be like when you have a new job, house, or boyfriend?

Forget it and enjoy being here.

Relax.

If you can't relax do twenty rounds of Sun Salutation.
Do Five rounds of Kapabhatti.
Do Ten or Twenty rounds of Alternate Nostril breathing.

If that doesn't work, do it again.

What have you got to lose?

If you are in the grip of a personal crisis, you may find you'll have to work a bit harder.

If you have an intelligent and sane friend to talk to that helps.

But ultimately letting go is the best you can do.................

So learn how to do it now.
