Control Less, Feel More
by Elina
The need to control sucks out the joy that is freely available in every moment. Lately i’ve experienced something I never did before to this extent: The lure to control. All while feeling completely out of control. Control of self, control of experience, control of others, control of emotions, control of outcomes… regardless of how I knew everything my mind tried to control would slip out of my fingers as soon as i’d try to reach out. I know the “clarity”, I know the wisdom of “letting go” and “letting be”, but I haven’t experienced the full extent of where the ego mind can lead you, and therefore haven’t put myself in a situation to transcend my biggest fears and emotional blocks. What a ride. Even right now i’m still kind of shaky, a bit like how you feel right after a steep roller coaster ride. And I don’t feel i’m done yet.
When big changes, sudden endings and quick turns show up in your life after a period of stagnancy, it’s easy to hold your breath in and tense up. It’s easy to want to panic in reaction to all of the old emotions coming up. But eventually we learn an important lesson: It’s okay to feel and feel all of it through and through. It’s okay if the feeling comes up several times and armed with new alluring stories. Allowing what needs to come through and be released is actually the whole point. Once you accept you’re on the ride, you can begin to enjoy it.
