126 "Leave It As It Is"

Trying to control life is exhausting. Longchenpa, the ancient Tibetan Dzogchen masters' suggestion? "Leave it as it is and rest the weary heart and mind." Indeed, embracing the natural flow of life can bring a sense of peace and tranquility, freeing us from the chains of constant worry and control. Let’s take a moment to breathe, let go, and simply Be. How does that sound for today?

These podcasts are meant to supplement your personal path of awakening. They are what I have found to be the most helpful over the last 50 years on my path of awakening. These podcasts are most powerful when listened to in sequence from podcast one forward because each is built on the last. Though they, also, all stand on their own. We are all different so if anything does not resonate, please disregard it and follow your heart.

Though I am a psychotherapist these podcasts are offered to be spiritually helpful. They are not psychotherapy. Please reach out to a psychotherapist if ever needed.

Trying to control everything, Wrestling with life can be so exhausting. Maybe it's time to stop trying to control life. Just leave it as it is and let go, Relax. Leave it as it is. Leave it as it is and rest the weary heart and mind. This is Longchenpa's suggestion, The ancient Tibetan Tsojan master. Leave it as it is and rest the weary heart and mind. Often we are grasping so tightly because we're not allowing. We are so tense and bound up that we don't fully experience the profound beauty of who we are and that of the world around us. In our grasping sometimes we lose ourselves. We can become so buried in our tension and covered up with our problems and issues, Disconnected within. We attempt to control life so hard that we can miss the radiant bliss of our being inside, Which is ever present. When this happens, We don't feel ourselves as peace, As love, As happiness. From here, All covered up and disconnected, Inner radiance might feel a bit like a fairy tale at times. We are just so covered up and crusted over with our stuff. Today, Let's open up. Let's take a break. Let's relax. Let's leave it as it is and rest the weary heart and mind. Let's just allow. Allow your inner and outer world to flow. You today, Just relax. Nothing you have to do. Just surrender to the flow of life for today. Nothing you have to be, But present to it all. And what if you can't allow today? What if that's too much? Well then just relax and allow that you can't allow. Let's leave life as it is today. This is William Cooper, And I look forward to talking to you next time. Take care.
