A Guided Meditation: Letting Go of Control in the Face of Challenge
Jai Maa and Jai Guru Deva!
I often recommend this beautiful guided meditation from Acharya Shunya ji and enjoy it myself. Recorded during the height of the COVID pandemic, it is a potent reminder that there are always difficult times and easy times, war and peace, hunger and bounty, and yet there is an unchanging presence in each of us that is not our fearful mind attaching to and attempting to control every change. This is a meditation on Titiksha, our inner mental capacity of forbearance of the pairs of opposites. Titiksha is one of the six inner jewels of the mind of the yogi. This meditation will help you to strengthen this capacity. In our Karma yoga teachings, we are learning to stop attaching ourselves to the outcome of our endeavors. Control, fear, resentment, resistance, and anxiety can be symptoms of an overburdened E.G.O. Today, if you find that you are weary from attempting to control the world, make some time to sit with our teacher’s voice and set that burden down. Give it up to Maa just for this moment.
In Sacred Surrender,
Sadhvi Aparna
A much needed guided meditation. Shunyaji's voice, so calming and the light bells in the background, so pretty. Thank you dear Sadhvi Aparna. So pleasant to listen to before going to bed.😴
