About this episode

Are you holding on too tightly to control, fear, or the familiar? What if the secret to peace was learning to let go—just like water?

In this episode, we explore the powerful lessons of the water element in meditation. Water moves with ease, follows the path of least resistance, and embraces the journey rather than the destination. If you’ve ever struggled with fear of the unknown or feeling stuck in life, this episode is for you.
