When you receive alarming news, such as a diagnosis for yourself or a loved one, do you notice your mind scaring you with worst-case scenario thoughts, feelings, and images? What about suffering? Does your mind make up rules such as “it would be insensitive and uncaring for you not to suffer through this experience?” Luckily, the mind is using the same old tricks it always uses, and you can be done with allowing it to terrorize you in the only moment there is—this one. This week's episode invites us to be open to whatever the mind is presenting, not because we’re interested in experiencing the worst-case scenarios but because we’re interested in being open. The moment we are open to the mind’s punches, there is nothing for the mind to hit. And the moment we let go of the mind's rules, we can experience any situation—including a cancer diagnosis—exactly the way we'd like to.
