Find a quiet,
Peaceful space.
Close your eyes and begin to take slow,
Mindful breaths.
Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth.
With each breath,
Allow your body to soften.
Feel your shoulders release,
Your face relax,
Your heart opening.
Breathe again,
Drawing in calm and letting go of any tension.
Rest in this gentle stillness as you prepare to meet God within.
Holy Spirit,
Help us to see ourselves clearly,
Not through fear or pride,
But through the eyes of grace.
Let your peace guide our awareness and our humility.
With every breath,
Feel his presence surrounding you,
Steady and kind.
Now turn your attention inward.
Notice the voice that always wants to be right.
The one that worries how others see you.
The one that fears losing control.
This is the ego.
Part of you,
But not all of you.
It is not bad or wrong.
It is simply trying to protect you.
Whisper quietly,
I see you,
Ego.
I understand you've tried to help me,
But now you can release it from its constant striving.
You can let your spirit,
Your true self,
Lead instead.
Imagine holding the steering wheel of your life in your hands.
For so long,
The ego has gripped it tightly,
Wanting to control every outcome.
Now imagine Jesus gently placing his hands over yours.
You feel his calm strength,
His trust in the Father's plan.
Slowly,
You release your grip.
Say in your heart,
Lord,
I surrender my need to control.
I trust you more than my fear.
Let peace wash over you as you loosen the hold of the ego and return to flow with God.
Bring your awareness to your heart.
Feel a radiant light glowing there,
Soft,
Loving,
Eternal.
This light is your true self,
Your soul connected to God.
It is untouched by fear,
Pride,
Or comparison.
It is pure being,
Born from love,
Returning to love.
Let that light expand until it fills your whole body.
You are not your thoughts.
You are not your achievements.
You are not your failures.
You are a beloved child of God,
Free,
Forgiven,
And whole.
See yourself now walking in peace,
Guided not by the reaction,
But by quiet awareness.
When the ego speaks,
You no longer need to argue or obey.
You can simply smile,
Breathe,
And return to love.
This is spiritual maturity.
To recognize the ego's voice,
But choose God's truth instead.
Say softly to yourself,
I am more than my ego.
I am one with God's peace.
Take a deep breath in and exhale slowly.
Thank God for showing you who you truly are.
Thank your ego for what it has taught you,
And bless it as you release it into balance and peace.
Rooted in grace,
Led by love.
When you're ready,
Gently open your eyes,
Carrying this calm awareness within you.
