Stop Trying. Surrender — And Feel The Peace That’s Here

In this guided meditation, you are lovingly invited to let go of all expectations, all striving, and all effort — and to rest as what you truly are. There is nothing to achieve here, nothing to fix, and nowhere to arrive. This meditation gently guides you into a state of radical openness, where even the desire for a “good meditation” is released.

As you settle into the body and allow the breath to flow naturally, the mind begins to soften. Attention rests in the present moment, and the noise of thought slowly loses its grip. You are guided to surrender desires, hopes, fears, and inner resistance — allowing everything personal to dissolve into spacious stillness.

A warm welcome to this meditation.

Before we start,

I lovingly invite you to enter a state of zero expectations.

Enter this meditation fresh,

Without any results or desired outcomes in mind.

Just let my words enter your system and gently follow my guidance.

Try to let go of any trying or control.

Now,

Take a moment to find yourself a comfortable position with your spine erect.

And,

If you prefer laying down,

Then that's perfectly fine as well.

Feel your body,

Feel your skin,

Feel your muscles,

And,

With a big exhale,

Relax.

Relax your body,

Relax each and every muscle,

Relax your face,

Your forehead,

Your jaw,

And,

With a big exhale,

Completely relaxed.

Allow your breath to flow deeply and slowly,

In and out,

A slow and steady inhale,

And a long and complete exhale.

Allow it to move effortlessly.

Don't allow your mind to wander too much by resting your attention on the flowing in and out of your breath.

And feel not only your physical body,

But also your mental body,

Relaxing more and more.

Feel yourself becoming more and more empty of thoughts,

And more present in the moment.

Now,

Give away all of your desires,

Your hopes and fears,

Even your desire to have a good meditation,

Or the desire to quiet your mind.

All of your preferences,

Give them away.

You don't want anything from anything or anyone.

Imagine all of your desires floating away from you,

Dissolving in space.

Feeling yourself more and more still,

More and more empty,

A state where there is no labeling,

No this,

No that,

No good and no bad,

No duality at all,

No negative thoughts or positive ones,

No wants,

No needs,

Just pure and empty being,

Naked awareness,

So that the ever-present love may be revealed to you.

Behind all of your personal noise,

Behind the veils of being a separate human being with a personality,

There is oneness,

And this oneness is love,

Infinite love.

Rest spontaneously,

Surrender,

Because everything is always already surrendered,

All there is is complete and perfect oneness,

No need to add anything onto it,

Or to take anything away from it,

Just perfection.

Rest in that perfection,

Without judging,

Labeling,

Naming,

Clinging to,

Or trying to grasp anything,

Be one,

Be love,

Surrender,

Even deeper,

Hold on to nothing.
