Transcript

Welcome to this guided meditation where we will be using the power of visualization to let go of the past.

Please find yourself a comfortable seated position or lie down and take a few deep breaths,

Allowing yourself to relax and let go of any tension in the body.

Close your eyes or softly lower your gaze and bring your awareness inward,

Focusing on the present moment.

Now visualize a beautiful,

Peaceful setting,

Somewhere that brings you a sense of calm and tranquility.

It could be a beach,

A mountaintop,

A forest,

Or any other place that feels right to you.

As you take in the sights and sounds of this peaceful place,

Allow yourself to let go of any negative thoughts or emotions that are tied to the past.

Imagine these thoughts and emotions as heavy burdens that you have been carrying around with you,

And with each breath,

Allow yourself to release them.

Imagine a light or a beautiful object,

Like a crystal or a feather,

Representing the present moment.

Focus on this object and allow yourself to be fully present in this moment,

Without any distractions from the past or the future.

Take some time to soak up the peace and calm of this present moment and allow yourself to feel gratitude for all that you have in the present.

As you continue to breathe deeply and focus on the present,

You may notice that your mind starts to wander back to the past.

When this happens,

Gently redirect your focus back to the present moment.

It's natural for our minds to wander,

And it's okay if it happens.

Just gently guide your attention back to the present each time it wanders.

Now bring to mind a specific event or situation from the past that has been weighing on you.

It can be a difficult conversation,

A hurtful experience,

Or a decision that you regret.

Take a few deep breaths and acknowledge the emotions that come up as you think about this event.

Remember that it's okay to feel these emotions,

And it's important to allow yourself to feel and process them.

As you continue to breathe deeply and focus on the present,

Imagine a bright light surrounding the past event or situation.

See this light as a symbol of healing and release,

And allow it to gently dissolve any negative emotions or thoughts that are tied to the past.

Allow yourself to let go of any attachment to the past event or situation.

It has already happened,

And it does not define who you are in this present moment.

Take some time to soak up the peace and calm of the present moment,

And when you are ready,

Begin to bring your attention back to your physical body.

Take a few more deep breaths,

Slowly opening your eyes when you are ready.

Remember that you have the power to let go of the past and fully embrace the present moment anytime you choose.

Thank you for taking the time to practice this meditation with me.

Remember that you are strong and resilient,

And you have the ability to heal and move forward.

The past does not define you,

And you are free to create a bright and beautiful future for yourself.

Take a moment to ground yourself in the present,

And when you are ready,

Slowly begin to move on with your day,

Carrying the peace and calm of this meditation with you.
