Overcoming Worry

I made this recording while lying on the beach, freshly quit from a job that drained the life and soul out of me. I was full of worry, but also full of longing—to feel free, to feel connected, to feel like myself again.

This is a meditation on letting go, not just for me, but for all of us. I believe in healing together. I believe in teachers being human. I believe in community vulnerability.

So I’m sharing this not as an expert, but as a fellow traveler. I can't do this without you.

I am sitting here on the beach and I wanted to reflect a little with you,

If that's okay.

Of course it is okay,

We are healing here.

If there's one thing that I could tell my past self right now,

It would be whatever capitalism said was most important kept me alone.

Go see those you love,

Tell them that you love them,

Show them through your actions that you love them.

I want you to really think for a moment,

It's safe here.

What is hindering you at the moment?

What is making you worrisome at the moment?

Just think about it for a second.

Can you take a deep breath and release when you feel free to?

What if I told you that every one of your worries resolves?

The story doesn't end in your mind.

It doesn't end in your heart.

Whether you worry or fear or not,

It is already done.

Meaning,

It is already cared for.

You are already free of the bondage of whatever it is that you have brought to this space.

I'll be vulnerable with you and share that.

The house fire that I've experienced in my home has been nothing short of constant chaos.

The floors are ruined and I still haven't figured out the best way to fix them in the budget that I have.

And here I am on the beauty,

The vastness of the beach,

The ocean,

And this is what I am thinking about.

But I break this fear and worry with you right now in this moment and I say it is already done.

444 We are so protected.

So loved.

So let us both just rest for a moment with the sounds of the ocean,

Nature's music,

And knowing that it will all work in our favor.

You are not alone.

Thank you for spending some time with me.

Now let's rest together.

And I encourage you to move on with your life with this knowing.

This knowing that all your worries will always be handled.

Goodbye.
