The universe appears as mostly empty space,
yet it is filled with a hidden and inexhaustible energy
that has existed since before the beginning of beginning-less time.
So we can relax and let our tension drain away
for we belong to this.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his book, Walking the Tao, William Martin, interpreting the Tao Te Ching, invites us to explore the profound sensation of belonging, asserting that the source of our deepest tension and anxiety in life is often our failure to truly understand this fundamental connection.
Whenever I find myself overloaded by life's challenges, my body inevitably mirrors that pressure. I start feeling heavy, I might get sick or hurt, or I simply become utterly exhausted. When I finally realize what is happening, I deliberately step back and ask myself: Who am I, really? If I can manage to stop\u2014to step off that carousel of thoughts and actions driven by stress, fear, and overwhelm\u2014I am able to let the tension drain away, just as Martin describes in his book, and I can truly relax.
I recall a moment where Wayne Dyer, an internationally renowned author and motivational speaker, shared an anecdote about an interview with someone who had been in a coma for months. This person recounted communicating with her ancestors, who reassured her and urged her to return to life because it wasn't yet her time. They told her to live without fear because she was protected.
Wayne Dyer often insisted on this aspect: if only we knew we are constantly secure and protected by something greater\u2014knowing that we are integrated cells of a larger whole\u2014we wouldn't be so afraid to live. We would live fully, knowing that we cannot control anything. We would then simply be open to whatever life unfolds, trusting implicitly that life knows what we need to grow and become better human beings capable of touching higher levels of consciousness. We would just surrender and trust life.
The Tao Te Ching insists heavily on this necessity of letting go of control and embracing the principle of Wu Wei, the \"effort without effort.\" If we use too much force or effort on something, it often means we are forcing it\u2014that the action is unnatural. Therefore, we should stop and let life tell us what to do. Are we truly capable of stopping and observing, like a cat? My cat, at least, can stay quietly recharging for hours, and then, in a moment, I see him act rapidly and with laser-sharp focus when it's time to get food, catch an insect, or pursue an unfortunate passing bird.
The Tao teaches that quietude and meditation are our natural states, not the chronic stress mode that most of us adopt just to be part of a society that constantly demands our best, allowing us no space to rest or even take a breath to feel. Do we stop sometimes and ask ourselves.. How do I feel today?
Giving attention\u2014to ourselves and to others\u2014is difficult for us. Yet, offering ourselves and others our presence is the greatest gift we can give, and it is the only way to be in peace right here, right now.
When I realize I am riding the horse of the carousel, I simply stop physically, take three conscious breaths, and realize that everything happening in my mind is not happening right here and now. I realize that, in this very moment, I already have all the conditions necessary to be happy; I have enough.
Let us start from there, blooming like a newborn flower each time we pause and give ourselves the chance to blossom anew.
So, are you ready to step off the carousel and live your life to the fullest?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
