Letting Go of Control: Awakening Our Hearts and Minds (Part 1) | Tara Brach

Letting Go of Control: Awakening Our Hearts and Minds (Part 1) | Tara Brach
Join Tara Brach in this transformative talk on Letting Go of Control. It is natural to use strategies like aggression, judging, planning, seeking approval, and pretending to ward off danger and further ourselves. While these control strategies have a developmental role, they do not lead to lasting happiness, intimacy, and freedom.
In Part 1 of this talk, Tara explores:
▪️The role and limitations of control strategies in our lives
▪️Recognizing when we are over-managing our lives
▪️Techniques to release the grip of the over-controller
▪️The profound awakening of our hearts and minds that occurs when we shift from doing to being
Learn how to let go of control and embrace a state of being that opens the door to deeper peace, joy, and connection.

5:57 I came to this video *specifically* bc I was aware of my aversion to reality. I’m finding what’s been happening in Gaza almost unbearable. My solutions only work temporarily bc they don’t stop the suffering of hundreds of thousands and violent deaths of thousands. Also my personal circumstances. It is midday and my neighbours who’s behaviour at night seriously impacts my health are still sleeping. Two situations that inspire the desire to control and feelings of frustration, etc. when I fail. Back to what Tara has to say.

[@yazdanicounseling]
