How free we become when we stop trying to control what we think keeps us from being free! Amazing how quickly our thoughts pass when we are no longer disturbed in some way.
Imagine being able to draw a perfect circle freehand, without a compass. That's the kind of effortless effort, or 'wu wei', that this episode of the 'Tao of Our Understanding Alcohol Recovery Podcast' explores. The hosts dive into a Taoist story about a draftsman who achieves perfection by letting go of control. This concept of 'wu wei' is all about finding freedom by not forcing things, and it’s a game-changer for anyone on a recovery journey.
They discuss how letting go of the need to control everything can lead to a more peaceful and fulfilling life. By observing life without getting caught up in worries, you can experience spiritual growth and a deeper sense of calm. The episode also touches on the idea of a Higher Power in recovery, offering a fresh perspective through Taoist philosophy.
The hosts encourage listeners to apply these principles in their daily lives, suggesting that sometimes the best way forward is to simply do the next right thing and wait for the rest to unfold. It’s an enlightening conversation that promises to leave you with practical insights and a new way of looking at your path to sobriety.
