I Accept This Too

What's disrupting your peace? During this contemplative meditation, identify what's bothering you. Determine whether whatever it is is within your control. If it is, are you prepared to make a change—if not, in this meditation, accept it.

If it's not within your control, accept that too.

Transcript

Welcome to this moment. As you get comfortable in your seat, Relax your muscles and your mind. Ask yourself, What's bothering me? What's disrupting my peace right now? Is it something you can control, Or is it completely out of your control? If you can control it, Are you prepared to? Are you ready to make a change? If not, If you accept it as it is, Take a deep breath in and focus on what needs to change so peace can be restored. You have the choice, Accept or change. Continue breathing as you contemplate those choices. If there's something you cannot control, Take a breath in and as you exhale, Repeat, I accept this too, Because if you can't control it, You can't control it, But your mind needs to release it. Your mind doesn't need to ruminate over what you can't control. Breathe and repeat, I accept this too, Until your mind eases. Acceptance is the ability to be okay with what is. Without acceptance, Peace is disrupted. Don't let what you can control disrupt your peace. Accept or change. Don't let what you cannot control interrupt your ease. Accept it as it is.

This meditation arrived when I most needed it, with health involved the battle between control and acceptance has been hard for me. Thanks for sharing your words. Just a comment: the music sometimes overpowers your voice, it’s a bit loud at times . Thanks a lot 🙏
