Find a comfortable seated posture,
One where you can sit upright without effort.
Settle into your posture.
Fully arrive in the present moment.
Bring your awareness inside.
Tuning in with your body and tuning in with your breath.
Become fully aware.
Sing into the present moment.
We do not want to feel pain,
Suffering,
Loss and grief.
We want life to be safe.
We want to have some sort of guarantee that nothing bad will happen.
We create a web of thoughts that gives us a false sense of security and safety.
A false sense of being in control.
We make a plan in our head,
Planning every little detail of how things could go and should go.
We're going through different scenarios,
Mapping out various solutions for when things go wrong.
We are attempting to create a future within which we feel good and safe.
There is one thing that we are good at forgetting,
That we are trying to forget and even defy by making these plans.
One cannot control the future.
The future lies beyond our control because it does not exist.
The only time that exists is now.
The only time that you can take action is now.
The future is just an imagination.
It only exists in our heads.
Future is just a concept,
Same as past.
These are not actual places.
The only place there is,
Is now.
For whatever happens,
Happens in the now.
If the future does not exist,
What are we trying to control?
Why seek to control something that does not exist?
The attempt of controlling the future is our attempt at controlling how we feel.
We are planning the future in order to not get hurt.
It's a protection mechanism for us to go through the world,
To go through life unharmed.
Planning the future creates the illusion of control,
The illusion of safety and security.
No matter how much we plan and seek to control,
There is never a 100% guarantee for safety.
Never a 100% security that we will not get hurt.
Planning and controlling only creates the illusion of safety and security,
Not actual safety and security.
Why plan and control in the first place then?
Why even link the feeling of safety and security to certain circumstances?
Why not feel safe and secure all the time,
No matter what the circumstances?
There is no safety,
No security,
Yet everything is perfectly safe and secure.
Everything is safe and secure,
No matter what happens.
There is no need for planning and controlling.
Things happen as they happen.
Life is unfolding perfectly in miraculous ways.
Everything is unfolding to perfection.
Let this sink in and allow yourself to truly feel it.
Let this feeling take root and grow within your whole being.
Connect with your breath.
Connect with your body.
Connect with yourself.
And repeat the following silently to yourself.
I surrender my desire to plan and to control into the spaciousness of trust.
I surrender my fear into the spaciousness of trust.
I trust in life.
I trust in the perfect unfolding of things,
No matter what happens.
Repeat again silently to yourself.
I surrender my desire to plan and to control into the spaciousness of trust.
I surrender my fear into the spaciousness of trust.
I trust in life.
I trust in the perfect unfolding of things,
No matter what happens.
Once more.
I surrender my desire to plan and to control into the spaciousness of trust.
I surrender my fear into the spaciousness of trust.
I trust in life.
I trust in the perfect unfolding of things,
No matter what happens.
I surrender my fear into the spaciousness of trust.
I surrender my fear into the spaciousness of trust.
I surrender my fear into the spaciousness of trust.
Let this sink in.
Let it take root.
Let it grow.
Feel it.
Feel your trust.
Feel your trust.
Feel your trust.
Feel your trust.
Feel your trust.
Feel your trust.
