Desire is the root of suffering. They used to talk about just let go, let go, and let god turn it over to your higher power...It was just so frustrating to just have people toss out these things like: hey, let go, turn it over, blah, blah, blah. Yoga and fitness and mental health is huge to that.
Ever felt like your past is a heavy backpack you can't seem to put down? In this episode of 'The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast', Darren Littlejohn takes you on a journey through the art of letting go, blending insights from Buddhism, Yoga, and the 12-step program. This isn't just about tossing out a casual 'let it go'—it's about deeply understanding why we cling to things and how we can gently release those attachments.
Littlejohn dives into the heart of why desire often leads to suffering and how developing empathy and a connection to our feelings can pave the way to emotional freedom. He talks about grief and loss, subjects that can feel like emotional quicksand, and offers practical tools from Yoga and Buddhist practices to help navigate these tough emotions. But don't think letting go is a one-and-done deal. Littlejohn emphasizes that it's an ongoing process, one that requires patience and practice.
Through yoga and fitness, he shows how these physical practices can significantly boost mental health, helping us manage difficult emotions more effectively. If you've ever been frustrated by well-meaning advice to 'just let it go', this episode offers a deeper, more compassionate approach. Littlejohn even touches on the concept of past lives and the infinite cycle of rebirth, providing a broader perspective on why we hold on to certain things and how we can begin to release them.
Whether you're dealing with grief, struggling with emotional attachments, or simply curious about how Buddhist and Yoga practices can enhance your mental well-being, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to start your journey towards emotional freedom.
