The Illusion Of Control

In this podcast Gangaji and Producer Hillary Larson look at the role control plays in our day to day lives. It can show up in all sorts of ways. Control might ultimately be an attempt to fend off our deepest fears. It can interfere with relationships, and it can also be exhausting. Some people are self-described “control freaks.” For others, control can show up in more subtle ways. Fessing up to our control issues is a pretty tender thing, but when the source of it is finally met, the possibilities are endless.

"What is here is bigger than any notion we have of control. What is here is life." ~Gangaji

Reviews

Helpful insights about the nature of control. I will need to listen to this again to gather more awareness into my habits of “mind control” that lead to suffering and exhaustion. Thank you.

Let go of the illusion of control - thank you for this fruitful conversation. So inspiring.

Deeply heartfelt, thought provoking and moving. Thank you!

So inspiring. Thank you for your authenticity. ❤️☀️💜

Beautiful. The choiceless moment to meet what is here now ❤ love you, gangaji! being a student of Mariananda I send all my love! and gratitude to both of you ❤

Perfect timings thank you 🌸🌿

Came on the right moment and taught me a lot...gotta digest it now!

I find Gangaji's way of teaching to be both very freeing and grounding at the same time. I listen to many teachers, but when my mind is going in circles and nothing seems to help, I stop what I'm doing and look up one of her talks. It always helps.

Amazing conversation. I learned so much. Great dynamics between the speakers and I'm now very curious about the previous talk :) Going to hunt it down now. Thank you very much! 🙏

It’s hard to face our fears of losing control. This podcast was a great reminder that it’s ok to face our feelings
