#43 - Surrendering the Illusion of Control

Join me as I explore what really happens when you let go of the illusion of control — and why seeing through the myth of personal free will can open the door to clarity, flow, and a far lighter way of being in the world.
Through a surprising moment on tour and a fresh look at the nature of thought, we’ll dive into how life moves through us—and how recognising this can dissolve pressure, overthinking, and the need to “make everything happen.
If you’ve ever felt weighed down by trying to control life… this episode might change something. (:

Join me for some reflections on a recent musical experience and what I’m learning about exploring the intelligence of life in a deeper way. (:
In this episode of The Groove Guru Podcast, I share what a recent physical injury taught me about healing, music, and the deeper intelligence that moves through all of life.
