Deeply troubled
by a spiritual counseling session
gone wrong,
my coworkers
stared piercingly into my eyes
and told me to just let it go.
My inner child raged,
“If I knew how to do that
I would have already done so!”
Thus began my twenty year quest
to learn precisely how to do that.
I received the answer from one Theravada teacher
and two Vajrayana teachers.
The Buddha’s fifth and sixth enlightenment factors
are sometimes translated as relax and release.
When we physically relax during our exhalation
we will find ourselves mentally releasing
whatever we noticed during our inhalation.
In the words of Morpheus,
“You have to let it all go, Neo…”
Let us conclude
with a simple
call to action
