Hello and welcome.
Today's meditation is a sacred space for you to gently release emotional burdens that were never yours to carry and to return home to the clarity and wisdom that lives within your own heart.
Find a quiet comfortable place where you can sit or lie down and won't be interrupted for at least 15 minutes.
Allow your body to relax.
Allow your breath to slow.
There is nothing you need to do.
There is nowhere you need to be.
This time is for you.
I'm going to ask you for permission to enter your energy field to take you on this guided journey.
Everything is with your permission.
You are at choice.
If you're not willing,
That's absolutely okay.
The energy will simply go around you.
So if you say yes and you're ready,
Simply nod your head or you can say yes out loud.
You are in complete control.
Let's begin.
Gently close down your eyes.
Bring your awareness to the rhythm of your breath.
Feel the air moving in and moving out.
That's in,
In and out.
Nice and slow and relaxed.
With every inhale,
Feel yourself drawing in calmness and presence.
With every exhale,
Feel yourself letting go of any tension or tightness.
Allow the surface beneath you to fully support your body.
Feel the earth holding you steady,
Grounded and safe.
Now imagine soft golden roots growing from the base of your spine,
Reaching down into the earth.
Deep,
Strong,
Steady.
You are supported.
You are held.
In your mind's eye,
See yourself standing at the edge of a beautiful clearing.
The air is lovely and warm.
The grass is a beautiful green and it's so soft,
Just like carpet,
Just like velvet.
You are surrounded by tall,
Magnificent,
Ancient trees,
The protectors of sacred truth.
In the center of this clearing is a beautiful golden bowl,
Glowing gently.
This bowl is a sacred container,
A place where you can lay down anything that was never actually yours to carry.
Feel the invitation of this sacred space.
It holds no judgment,
Only love.
I want you to feel that love.
Feel that invitation.
I want you to hear it calling your name.
It ushers you over to it.
See yourself effortlessly walking over to this beautiful golden bowl,
Feeling so very safe,
So very nurtured and so very loved.
Now,
Bring to your mind any emotional burdens you may have been carrying that do not belong to you.
Stories,
Expectations,
Pain,
Guilt,
Fear,
Anything you have chosen to take on from others.
You do not need to analyze any of them.
You do not even need to know where they came from.
All you need to know is that you do not need to hold them any longer.
With each burden you find,
Gently place it into the golden bowl.
Big,
Deep breaths here.
That's it.
See it leaving your hands,
Your heart,
Your body.
Softly and with ease and with love,
Release it into the golden bowl.
You might see the burdens as objects,
As colors,
As energies.
Trust whatever comes.
They may be ancestral.
They may be from past family blockages and stress.
One by one,
Begin to lay them down.
Even if you don't understand them,
Even if you don't really know who they belong to or what they are,
Just lay them down.
Surrender them to the golden bowl.
The heavy weight of emotions that were never yours to carry.
The silent responsibility you took on for another's healing.
The guilt that clung to you but was never truly your own.
Feel each burden in your hands.
Notice its shape,
Its weight,
Its presence,
And with deep compassion,
Place it into the golden bowl.
As you release each one,
Feel the sensation of it lifting from your body,
From your chest,
From your shoulders,
From your heart.
Allow yourself to truly feel the release.
Not just imagine it,
But truly feel the untangling of each and every burden,
Each and every emotion,
Each and every trigger.
And the space of where they once sat,
Feel it opening up inside you.
Clear them from your heart,
Your lungs,
Your liver,
Your kidneys,
Your intestines,
Your stomach,
Your womb.
Allow the energy to clear your body and feel the warmth of the golden light flow through you.
Open your body up and release them all with ease.
And as you take a deep breath in,
Allow the energy of the golden light from the bowl to enter your body,
Your cells,
Your organs.
With each offering to the golden bowl,
A breath of relief washes through you.
You become lighter,
Freer,
And more whole.
As the bowl receives your burdens,
It begins to glow even brighter.
The golden light intensifying,
Rising,
Spiraling upward,
Transforming every ounce of pain,
Responsibility,
Guilt,
And burden into the purest light there is.
The light of unconditional love.
The light of divinity.
The light that knows you were never meant to carry what was never yours.
Breathe it in.
Breathe in the truth.
The truth that you are not abandoning anyone or letting them down by releasing these burdens that are not yours.
You are in fact honoring your own soul,
Your own being.
You are honoring your sacred boundaries.
You are choosing to return to yourself,
To your own energy,
To your own life force.
This is love in its highest form.
Take a moment here.
Feel the radiance of the bowl before you,
Glowing like the sun,
And feel your own radiance begin to glow in response.
You are free.
You are whole.
You are sovereign.
Good.
Now that the burdens are released,
Bring your awareness inward.
Gently place your hand over your heart.
Breathe into this space.
Let the tears flow if they need to.
Release.
Release.
Release.
Surrender.
Surrender.
Surrender.
Feel the stillness,
The quiet wisdom that lives here.
Beneath all the noise,
Beneath all the roles you've played,
Your inner knowing has been here all along.
Ask yourself softly,
What is true for me?
What do I need to know?
What do I actually know that is deep within my soul?
Allow the ants to rise,
Not from the mind,
But from the body,
From the heart,
From the creative space of the womb,
From your being,
From your every cell.
You may hear words.
You may feel sensations,
Or simply know without needing words at all.
Trust it.
This knowing is pure.
It's your compass.
It has always been with you.
So let this inner light grow stronger with every breath,
Expanding outward from your heart,
Filling your entire body with a warm,
Radiant glow.
Good.
Take a few final moments here to simply rest.
Feeling free,
Feeling light,
And feeling connected to yourself.
Good.
Big,
Deep breaths out.
Releasing what is not yours.
And when you're ready,
I want you to offer yourself gratitude and love for your courage to release,
To put down the things that didn't belong to you,
For your willingness to return to your truth,
For honoring your sacred self.
Just know that you can return to this place this knowing anytime you choose,
As it is always been here within you.
Slowly and gently,
I want you to bring your focus back to your breath.
That's it.
Begin to deepen it.
Big,
Deep breath in.
Good.
And all the way out.
In.
And out.
That's it.
And out.
Focusing on my voice.
Wiggling your fingers and your toes.
I want you to gently open your eyes,
Returning to the present moment,
Feeling lighter,
Clearer,
And more deeply connected to the truth that lives within you.
Welcome home.
Welcome home.
Well done.
