Releasing the past guided meditation script
This meditation is designed to be a sacred ritual of release. Follow these steps to connect with your inner power and let go of what no longer serves you.
Step 1: Create a sacred space
Begin by finding a quiet, comfortable place to sit or lie down. Close your eyes and take a few conscious breaths to ground yourself. As you settle, allow the imagery of this meditation to unfold.
Picture yourself surrounded by protection and love. Visualize a circle of light enveloping you as A SmileFrom Heaven begins with a heartfelt prayer, calling upon universal wisdom, angels, and spirit guides to create a safe and healing environment.
Step 2: Visualize the apothecary
Imagine yourself in a magical apothecary—a place filled with herbs, crystals, burning candles, and ancient tools for healing and transformation.
See an antique table before you, adorned with jars of herbs and an open book titled “Releasing Ritual.” This is your sacred space, where you will perform a powerful ritual of letting go.
Step 3: Write your list of release
Sit at the table and reflect on the things you wish to release:
- Limiting beliefs
- Unresolved emotions
- Habits or behaviors that no longer serve you
- Past events or people you’re ready to let go of
Place one hand on your heart and the other on your stomach. Breathe deeply and let the emotions surface. Without judgment, visualize yourself writing these thoughts on a piece of paper.
Step 4: Add herbs to the cauldron
Next, approach a magnificent cauldron alight with flames. One by one, select bottles of herbs from the apothecary and add them to the fire, visualizing their unique properties:
- White Sage: For cleansing and protection. Feel its energy clearing away negativity.
- Bay Leaves: For wisdom. Let clarity and insight fill your mind.
- Cinnamon: For strength. Notice your posture straightening as confidence washes over you.
- Rosemary: For banishing. Feel the weight of emotional burdens lifting.
- Lavender: For healing. A sense of calm and wholeness envelops you.
With each herb, connect to its energy. Imagine the flames transforming your emotional blockages into lightness and clarity.
Step 5: Release your list into the fire
Take your list and hold it over the flames. Repeat this affirmation:
“I release these blockages of my past.
I embrace my higher self at long last.
Fill my path with joy and love.
Please send your blessings from above.”
As the paper burns to ash, visualize your burdens dissolving into smoke and drifting away.
Step 6: Embrace your renewed self
Pause to feel the transformation within. The crackle of the fire, the scent of the burning herbs, and the warmth of the flames remind you of your inner strength.
Recognize that you have the power to release any blockages in your life. Step confidently into the version of yourself that is free, whole, and aligned with your true purpose.
