"Welcome back to Equanimity: Letting Go of Attachments. I'm your host, Master Rinda."

Through all the twists of my life—raising children, moving across countries, healing from illness, and rebuilding myself after difficulty—I've learned one truth that keeps returning: the tighter we try to control life, the more overwhelmed we become.

Today, we'll gently explore what it means to let go of control, and how equanimity can help you soften your grip and trust the unfolding of your own journey.

I'm grateful you're here. This is a space to breathe, to release pressure, and to open your heart to possibility.

Control often begins as protection. You try to plan everything. Fix everything. Predict everything. You try to hold on tightly because uncertainty feels frightening.

But equanimity teaches us that control is a response to fear—not a path to peace.

When you cling to outcomes, you lose your balance. You lose your ability to adapt. You lose your calm.

Letting go doesn't mean giving up. It means loosening the tension inside your body and trusting that you can handle life as it comes.

You don't need every answer to move forward. You don't need every detail to feel safe. You don't need guarantees to take the next step.

Releasing attachment to outcomes is where peace begins.

Life is always changing. Nothing stays fixed—not emotions, not situations, not people, not even our own beliefs.

Letting go invites you to trust uncertainty instead of resisting it.

Trust grows when you act with awareness, not force. When you listen to your inner wisdom. When you allow space for surprises, redirection, and unexpected blessings.

Acceptance brings peace because it aligns you with reality instead of fighting against it.

If you've been carrying the weight of trying to control everything, take a gentle breath. You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to trust. You are allowed to let life meet you halfway.

Thank you for sharing this time with me.
