Episode 345 with Guy & Ilan Ferdman
In this episode 345 of the Old Souls & Seekers podcast, Ilan discuss the power of stepping back and letting go of the need to fix everything. Our guest shares profound insights on the importance of surrendering control and allowing situations to unfold naturally. By practicing acceptance, meditation, and meaningful connections, we can find stability and let our lives resolve organically.
In Today's Episode:
- Discover the concept of ‘the meddler' and how it impacts our lives:
Ilan introduces ‘the meddler' as the part of us that constantly wants to intervene and fix situations we don't like. He explains how this urge often stems from fear and discomfort and discusses how recognizing and stopping the meddler's influence can lead to a more peaceful and balanced life. - Hear personal stories of surrendering control and the positive outcomes that followed:
The episode features two powerful personal anecdotes that illustrate the benefits of surrendering control. - Learn why trust and connection are essential for finding stability:
Ilan delves into the importance of trusting the process and building meaningful connections with others. He emphasizes that trying to control or fix everything on your own is not only exhausting but often counterproductive. - Explore how to ride life's waves with grace and resilience:
Life’s challenges are compared to waves that will inevitably come, regardless of how much you try to control your circumstances. - Find out how attending live events and joining higher-level programs can deepen your practice:
The episode concludes with encouraging listeners to attend the upcoming live event on September 14th and 15th. These events are designed to help participants deepen their practice of non-meddling and develop the ability to trust the process more fully.
Nothing lasts forever. You haven’t been sad forever, angry forever, or even happy forever. But when we become attached to something, it actually keeps it locked in and working and stuck like that for longer.
