Speaker 1: The more you stare at a problem, the harder it
Speaker 1: becomes to see the solution. Today, I want to help
Speaker 1: you to see the solution that's been waiting for you
Speaker 1: all along.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 1: You found your way here to waking up with Ryan.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that you pushed play. This is the
Speaker 1: place you and I come to wake up together. So
Speaker 1: let's take a deep breath and begin. Good morning, my love.
Speaker 1: I know you face problems and challenges, and that it
Speaker 1: really feels like, even though you're striving and reaching to
Speaker 1: find the solutions to those challenges, that the solutions can
Speaker 1: feel really far away or maybe impossible.
Speaker 2: But what if.
Speaker 1: The moment the problem was created in your life, so
Speaker 1: was the solution. What if the solution actually already exists
Speaker 1: and you simply haven't seen it yet. And what if
Speaker 1: you haven't seen it yet because you haven't taken the time.
Speaker 2: To open yourself to see it.
Speaker 1: That rather than taking the time to go okay, Universe,
Speaker 1: I have this problem, and I trust in you. I
Speaker 1: trust that there is a solution and I'm willing to
Speaker 1: see it. Show me, show me, show me, show me,
Speaker 1: show me. I trust that you're on it. What if,
Speaker 1: rather than doing that. Instead, you've been going into problem
Speaker 1: solving mode without connecting to your connecting yourself to the
Speaker 1: very source of the solutions. In nature, every problem has
Speaker 1: a solution. You are nature. Every problem you face has
Speaker 1: a solution. Course in Miracles calls it an answer with
Speaker 1: a capital A that works for everybody involved. The Course
Speaker 1: in Miracles also says that the moment the problem occurs,
Speaker 1: so does the solution. It's the illusion of time that
Speaker 1: keeps them separate. And say that again, the moment the
Speaker 1: problem occurs in your life, in that very moment, so
Speaker 1: does the solution occur. But it's the illusion of time
Speaker 1: that keeps them separate. So practically, it's like you experience
Speaker 1: some kind of a problem or a challenge, and you
Speaker 1: also then believe it's going to take time to find
Speaker 1: the solution.
Speaker 2: And in that very.
Speaker 1: Moment, your ego, your mind is creating a split between
Speaker 1: problem and solution. Now, problem later solution. The mind is
Speaker 1: telling that it's going to take time to figure this out.
Speaker 1: It's going to take time to find the solution. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe that's true, but notice that the mind is also
Speaker 1: making it true without offering an opportunity to say, well,
Speaker 1: what if the solution's here right now. I remember Mary
Speaker 1: and Williamson saying in one of her lectures once that
Speaker 1: in I believe it was native indigenous culture here that
Speaker 1: the medicine person of the tribe knew that within fifteen
Speaker 1: feet of any problem.
Speaker 2: Was the solution.
Speaker 1: So if somebody was bit by some let's say, poisonous snake,
Speaker 1: within fifteen feet of where they were standing, the medicine
Speaker 1: person knew there was everything needed to put together a
Speaker 1: salve to create the solution, the healing. And when you
Speaker 1: experience a problem, there's something that creates distance between the
Speaker 1: problem and the solution, and that thing is fear. It's fear,
Speaker 1: fear that this problem is never going to be solved.
Speaker 1: And of course, a miracle says this beautiful sentence about fear.
Speaker 1: It says that fear is a sure sign that you're
Speaker 1: relying on your own strength. When you experience fear, it's
Speaker 1: a sign, it's a symbol that you must be relying
Speaker 1: on your own strength aka forgetting that you could also
Speaker 1: rely on the brilliance of the universe. And so what
Speaker 1: if the moment the problems are occurring in your life,
Speaker 1: the solution is already here, and your job is to
Speaker 1: open to the solution. So rather than kind of the
Speaker 1: problem happening and then going in your mind of I
Speaker 1: have this problem, what am I going to do about
Speaker 1: this problem? Talking to people that I got this problem?
Speaker 1: I I got this problem. What if before you do that,
Speaker 1: you pause and you go, okay, Universe, let's go show me.
Speaker 1: Then go into your problem solving mode. So let's have
Speaker 1: a quick practice. If you're comfortable and able to close
Speaker 1: your eyes and take a seat, please be my guest,
Speaker 1: utilizing your breath like an anchor to drop your attention
Speaker 1: deeper into the present moment. Bring the part of you
Speaker 1: that feels active and separate, let it rest down and
Speaker 1: back into the everything that's always right here. And bring
Speaker 1: to mind a problem you face, a challenge you face.
Speaker 1: As you repeat after me, dear Universe, I know that
Speaker 1: you are aware of this problem that I face, and
Speaker 1: I trust that you have provided me with the solution.
Speaker 1: Perhaps I don't see it yet, I am willing to
Speaker 1: see the solution.
Speaker 2: Now take a deep breath and let it go. Dear Universe.
Speaker 1: My mind is open, my eyes and ears are open
Speaker 1: and available. I am willing to see the solution. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Thank you, dear Universe, I'm willing to surrender my thinking
Speaker 1: about this problem. I'm willing to surrender my perspective. I
Speaker 1: give my thoughts to you, and I surrender to you
Speaker 1: my fear as I remember that I do not need
Speaker 1: to rely on my own strength. I know that you
Speaker 1: are with me. Take a deep breath. I am willing
Speaker 1: to see the solution now. Yeful, if you have the
Speaker 1: time today to sit in quiet, This prayer is how
Speaker 1: we talk to the universe, and meditation or sitting in
Speaker 1: quiet is how we listen. So feel free to stay
Speaker 1: in this space, and if you're ready, you may blink
Speaker 1: your eyes open, trusting that the universe.
Speaker 2: Is on it loving you from here.
Speaker 1: Hi, I hope you're feeling even just a little bit
Speaker 1: more prepared to take on the day. But before you go,
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear from you and send me a
Speaker 1: voice note. By going to my website Waking Up with
Speaker 1: Ryan dot com, scroll down to the section that says
Speaker 1: send Ryan a voice note, Tap the button to leave
Speaker 1: me a voice message with a question you have, maybe
Speaker 1: a relationship challenge you're having, or a spiritual hang up,

Speaker 1: to hear from you, loving you from here,
