Giving up control

[moondreamer]

I have talked in the past about trying to better control my experience, and I see many others talking about the same thing.  I spent months trying to control my experience.  I would try and force myself to go to someplace in my mind, and I would usually end up either going where I had not expected to go, or end up right back in body.  It was very frustrating.  I decided a couple of months ago to just set what my intention was at the beginning of meditation and then not worry about it during the experience and let it take me wherever I needed to be.  It worked!  I have had so many more experiences and much better quality experiences since doing that.  I don't usually end up where I 'expect' to go, but I do get what I need, and the experiences are much more fulfilling.  Just a thought for those like me with control issues

Good advice! I agree that some of the best things about projection are the things you aren't expecting. Sometimes you just have to roll with it.
