Dear Seeker,

"There is nothing that needs to be done with any dark state, except for you to stay awake and watchful."

~ Guy Finley

Excerpted from "The Secret of Letting Go" (p. 184)

Special exercise: See past "what if" to what is

When something shakes you up, your mind immediately starts showing you "what if" scenarios. "What if she does this? What if he doesn't do that? What if I lose money?" Work as best you can in these moments to feel the rattle without preparing for battle. Give your attention to what is happening, not to what your mind is telling you it means. By watching your mind as it starts the movie reel -- instead of watching the dark movies themselves -- you'll find that you actually have the choice to leave the theater anytime you like.
