As you move in the direction of "loosening the leash," so to speak, you'll become keenly aware of the exhilaration of the Tao flowing through you. Begin to see what passions are stirred up as you allow the ride to be directed by your Source rather that ego.
These joyous feelings are clues that you're beginning to harmonize with what Lao-Tzu calls "[your] own goodness." Your enthusiastic inner receptivity is your reminder that all is perfect, so trust that energy.
Do the Tao Now
Pick a time today, perhaps between noon and 4 p.m., to consciously free your mind from attempting to control the events of your life. Go for a walk and simply let yourself be carried along: Let your feet go where they will.
Observe everything in your line of vision. Notice your breath, the sounds you hear, the wind, the cloud formations, the humidity, the temperature - everything. Simply let yourself be immersed and transported, and notice how it feels to just go with the flow.
Now decide to let freedom be your guide. Realize that traffic, the people in your life, the stock exchange, the weather, the tides... all of it is taking place at its own pace in its own way. You can move with the eternal, perfect Tao as well. Be it ... now.
