What Are You Carrying?

We all carry things that aren't always visible: unfinished conversations, expectations, worries, responsibilities, memories, and hopes. This guided contemplation invites you to pause and become curious about what you've been carrying, without judgment or urgency to change it. Through reflection, silence, and gentle self-inquiry, you'll spend time becoming aware of what may have become so familiar that you no longer recognize its presence. Recommended if you're feeling weighed down, carrying a lot of responsibility, noticing something that has stayed with you, or simply wanting to understand more clearly what you're carrying today.

Welcome. I'm Luisa Rivera. I'm glad you're here. Today, We're going to spend some time with what we carry without always realizing it. Let's begin right where you are. Take your time arriving. Notice your breathing. Feel the support beneath you. Let your attention settle into your body. Take your time. They are things we choose to carry. And there are things that quietly remain with us. A conversation that still echoes. A responsibility that stay with us. And expectation. A disappointment. I hope. Over time, We become so accustomed to carrying something that we no longer recognize its presence. Not everything we carry feels heavy. Some things feel familiar. And familiarity can make them almost invisible. For now, Notice what you've been carrying. As you continue breathing. Ask yourself. What am I carrying today? Then listen. Stay with whatever is here. See what becomes clear when you give it your attention. Sometimes, Noticing what we've been carrying changes our relationship to it. Once we see it, We can decide what we want to do. As you move through your week. Pass from time to time. And ask yourself. What am I carrying today? Stay open. Until next time.
