7 Days Of Stillness, Day 4: Worry Does Not Live Here

This is Day 4 of 7 Days of Stillness. Today we soften the heart, release worry and rumination, and ask a simple question of our deepest knowing: dear heart, what do you want me to know about my relationship to worry? We hold space for the answer to come in its own time, and we trust the heart to speak when it is ready.

The series builds in sequence, but each practice also stands alone. If this is your first track, consider beginning with Day 1, or stay here and let the heart meet you exactly where you are.

Transcript

Hello beautiful soul and welcome back to seven days of stillness. It's day four and our theme is worry does not live here. Allow your eyes to gently close savoring a deep breath in settle into your body and as you exhale settle your body into your seat. Another low belly breath allowing this breath to lengthen your spine. Envision the crown lifted high in the kneeling into a posture of dignity and peace. Let go of any rumination. Noticing your body's natural rhythm and the shift in your experience when you are present and to your heart space with your center and your place of our hearts this morning without trying to answer from the cognitive mind. What do you want me to know about my relationship to worry? And we'll just hold space here for about a minute for the heart's reply to see what surfaces in our open curiosity. In either case we trust the heart will speak when it is in need. Ready but for now we say thank you to our hearts and we surrender all worry. We surrender all doubt. Thankful for the grace given in each moment of the breath. Remembering that the fog lifts when the heart weeps not because the circumstances have changed but because we do. Goods and into the most empowering space the conscious breath allowing love and kindness to rise in the heart space. As it liberates us once again from any conditions we've placed on our happiness or the happiness of others. And here we rest.

I loved this session. My heart instantly wanted me to know I don’t need to worry. Worry only causes me illness. Worry does not live here. I trust in the flow of life. So grateful for this Day #4 meditation this morning after a beautiful walk listening to birdsongs. Thank you Joel. Namaste 🙏🏼 ✨
