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.

Beautifully read, melts away the grip on the illusion with this guided talk. Warm thanks.

You never fail to guide me back to peace William.. sending love and gratitude your way always 🙏

Thank you. I really needed to hear this today because I feel simply drained, exhausted, and overwhelmed, as I believe many of us in America do right now with the chaos, disruption, and Idiocracy of what is going on. I plan to listen to all of your talks beginning with number one. Thank you for your guidance and soothing message.

William Cooper, you have called me out, and you have soothed my over-thinking heartmind. Thank you! Today, I will simply allow…bless you. Linda

Since you suggested this one, I went straight to it. It’s a perfect three minute pause. And one I’ll be saving to listen to again and again as it’s a great reminder. I have a handful of friends that get so upset about things out of their control. Politics, world, problems, you name it. I look at them and think is it really worth your peace and serenity. I don’t think so. Not if you really trust that God is in charge and that God works all things out for good. Right? anyway, that’s how I keep my serenity. I let God be in charge. Thanks William ✨🌹🩷✨🌹🩷✨🌹🩷✨🌹🩷✨

Thank you dear William, so much for this short, sweet, profound talk on allowing the flow of our inner & outer world to “leave it as it is”… Will be returning back to your wise, calming words often during these heavy, painful, chaotic, turbulent times 🩵🙏🏻

Dearest William,
I struggle for words
to express how impactful
your teaching here,
this day
is for me!
My neighbor has a RELAX sign on his porch
each time I see it my psyche connects,
I breathe and reground.
Gratitude has filled my heart
listening to you say... "relax."

Such valuable advice especially during these challenging times! Thank you for the reminder. Namaste.

Profound! Made me feel better immediately. Thank you!

Ohhhh! I think I will take this advice today! Thank you!

Thank you for these words. They are needed by all of us who deal with situations we cannot make better for those we love. These words give permission to accept this. Such comfort, right there.
