Only You Can Affect You (transcript)

Breathe in and raise your vibration.
Breathe out and release your resistance.

Breathe in and raise your vibration.
Breathe out and release your resistance.

Surrender. Let go. Surrender right now.

Breathe in and give up.
Breathe out and smile because life will be so much easier when you surrender.

Give up trying to control. Give up caring. Give up worrying.

Breathe in and surrender.
Breathe out and let it all go.

Let yourself relax into this moment where everything is fun and there’s nothing to worry about. Let go of trying to control all the rest. It’s not up to you. Your trying to control only causes your own suffering.

Breathe in and lighten up. It’s not serious.
Breathe out and keep relaxing your body. It’s not serious.

You can trust that it’s the right place and the right time. You can trust that life knows what to do, that life takes care of life and you are life.

Breathe in and keep surrendering.
Breathe out and keep letting go.

Let go of trying to control. Just be okay where you are right now. What if nothing else ever changed? Could you be okay with where you are right now? Could you be okay if it stayed like this forever?

Breathe in and figure out how to be okay.
Breathe out and let yourself be okay.

Even if it stayed like this forever, how would you survive? How would you cope?

Breathe in and detach from experience.
Breathe out and detach from outcome.

The peace and the happiness you seek are already inside of you. You don’t need anything in the world to change for you to be happy and satisfied and whole.

Breathe in and stop mixing with experience.
Breathe out and quit looking to the world for happiness.

You keep looking for something to change so then you can be happy. But if you do that, you’ll always feel affected by the world. If something changes for good, you feel good. If something changes for bad, you feel bad. Today, surrender being affected by the world. Only you can affect you.

Breathe in and remember the real you.
Breathe out and ask, “Am I aware?”

Yes, I am. That’s the pure awareness, the real you, that can’t be affected by anything. Everything plays out on the pure awareness, but the pure awareness has never changed, never affected. It’s always unconditional love and that’s you.

Breathe in and stop being affected.
Breathe out and just surrender.

Stop fighting, stop controlling, stop worrying, stop wishing for change. If you can be okay with how things are in this very moment, you will always be okay.

Breathe in and ask, “Am I aware?”
Breathe out and know, “Yes, I am aware.”

And when I am aware, I have no problems. I’m not mixed with experience, suffering the ups and downs. When I am aware that I am aware, I am resting my attention on its source, god. When I am aware that I am aware, I am practicing the presence of god. I am the presence of god. I am the presence of god.

What more could you need?

Breathe in and be the presence of god today.
Breathe out and relax into being the presence of god.

Nothing needs to change now.
