Hello and welcome back to practicing human, the podcast where every day we're getting a little better at life.

I'm your host, Corey Miscara, and in today's episode, I'm going to share four things you can consider when meeting the present moment.

More to come on that in a moment. First, let's settle in together with the sound of the bells. Okay, so I recently came across this acronym that is often used when you're navigating something difficult as a way to relax into the experience.

And I also think it can be applicable for meeting a moment with deep presence.

The acronym is Sata, S-A-T-A, four parts.

And it stands for surrender, allow, trust, accept.

Surrender, allow, trust, accept. Surrender, allow, trust, accept. And I think there's something helpful about having

little acronyms like this in our back pocket, especially when we're going through something difficult.

It can just serve as reminders of things to bring to the forefront

of our mind. You know, if we are feeling a lot of contraction around our experience, a lot of

ambiguity, uncertainty around something that just happened, imagine what it would feel like

to just drop into surrender, allow, trust, and accept.

And there's, I think, an internal expansion that can happen there that allows us to hold

our experience with more space and ease rather than defaulting to other patterns of control, rumination, frustration,

anger, all of which can have their place, but you can even surrender, allow, trust, and accept

those difficult responses like anger, like sadness, like fear. So I just see it as a way for us to step

back in relationship to our experience such that we're not sucked into the content, but are rather

identified more with the container that is holding what is arising. So I'll say it again. The acronym is

Sata, surrender, allow, trust, and accept.

See if you can bring it out when it seems relevant in your life. Thank you for your practice. I'll

talk to you soon. And until next time, take care. Thank you. The
