Episode 22 - Control is Killing Us

Life is NOT under our control. Our emotions are not under our control. Often even our minds are not under our control. Yet we have given our minds the impossible task of controlling everything in lives in order to avoid hurt and pain. This episode explores the possibility that it's actually our need for control that hurts us more than anything else. By trying to control, we remove ourselves from ourselves and from our lives because we think we need ourselves and life to be a particular way in order to be happy. What would living feel like if we were capable of staying open to all of life rather than tensing against it and trying to control what we feel and experience in every moment and where we go and get to in our lives?
