My name is Cori.
Let's take some time to sit down and meditate together.
Get comfortable in your seated position.
Use something to support your back.
If you'd rather be on a chair with a back or a wall,
That's totally fine.
Check that your spine is nice and straight.
Relax your hands comfortably on your lap or you can place your hands on your knees.
If you choose to face the palms down towards the earth,
Then that will help you to receive energy from the earth,
A grounding,
Stabilizing energy.
If you turn your palms over towards the sky as they rest on your knees,
That will allow you to receive energy from above,
From Source.
Close your eyes down if you haven't done so already.
We're not going to go anywhere in our mind.
We're just going to sit and be in our body so that we can fully focus on the feelings and the messages that I'm sharing with you today.
Slow down your breathing and put all of your attention on the in-breath and the out-breath.
Notice the sensations that come from your breathing.
Your chest will gently rise and fall.
You may notice a subtle sensation of your shoulders relaxing and drop in just a little bit on the out-breath.
Just tune in to all the subtle movements in your body as you breathe.
This meditation is based on helping you to get through a breakup,
Whether you did the breaking up or you were broken up with.
Regardless,
It's going to help you to sort out some of the feelings and thoughts that you're having at this moment.
The first thing I want you to do is tune in to your heart.
More than likely,
Your heart's going to hurt right now.
You may also be noticing pressure in your head,
Feelings of uncomfortable tightness or unease in your abdomen,
Your shoulders might be hurting from all the tension and stress,
The back of your neck.
Just tune in to your body and see what you're feeling in this moment.
Maybe you're feeling all of the things I mentioned,
Or maybe you're just feeling one.
Sit in those feelings.
And when you sit in a feeling,
What that means is just be with it.
We're not trying to take it away quickly.
We're not trying to completely dissolve it.
You're feeling these feelings in your body because you just went through something that was traumatic,
Something that hurts.
And if you try and suppress these feelings too quickly,
By moving on,
Staying very,
Very busy and never,
Ever allowing yourself to feel what you're feeling,
Then the suppressed feelings will come back up eventually.
And maybe in the future,
It comes up in an unhealthy way in a future relationship or in a way that makes you feel like you don't trust,
You don't want another relationship,
Avoiding falling in love again.
So sit with the feelings because you have to be in balance.
It's okay to be busy,
But you also need to feel these feelings.
Know that the way that you feel right now is obviously not going to be great.
The feelings that you're experiencing inside of your body,
They're not going to be great.
They're going to be uncomfortable,
Painful,
But know that this is very normal.
Most of us don't go through a breakup and feel great.
Most of us have some doubt,
Maybe shame or regret.
So what you're feeling is normal.
Just keep taking long,
Slow,
Deep breaths as I share with you some things to help you process this experience.
One of the things that you might be thinking is that this is a big mistake and you may never find another person for you.
Logically,
Know that this is probably not true.
You will find someone when the time is right for you.
And even if your body and your mind is rejecting that thought right now,
That's okay.
Just trust that the wisdom I'm sharing with you is true.
If you choose to,
If you're open to,
You will find someone else to be in love with.
So when you get those worries that you're never going to find another person,
Just see if you can take a breath,
Use your internal voice and say,
Love is waiting for me out there when I'm ready.
Just say that to yourself whenever you have those worries and thoughts.
Love is waiting for me out there when I'm ready.
Try and allow yourself to feel a little bit of comfort in that statement.
You may be considering going back to your relationship.
The feelings that you're feeling may feel that uncomfortable and painful that you would go back into the relationship rather than feel this feeling,
Rather than feel the discomfort,
Rather than feel the loneliness.
Let's just go back,
Turn around and go back into something that probably wasn't right.
It wasn't right because you're here.
The truth is going back would probably not be a good idea.
And to help you to process that,
To help you to let go of that thought of going back just to not feel the way that you feel,
Maybe let yourself go back in your mind.
Let yourself go there,
Be back in the relationship,
Back with that person again.
And maybe it's good in the beginning,
But then eventually,
The same problems will come back,
The same feelings,
That feeling maybe that this isn't right,
Yet you're sticking with it.
Going back,
You'll probably find yourself trapped back in it once again for what,
Six months,
Another year,
Another five years,
Before you allow yourself to go through the pain of breaking up once again.
Maybe it's better if you just sit with these feelings right now.
And realize that they're not gonna kill you.
You will survive them.
They don't feel great,
But you will get through them.
You are getting through them.
And this too shall pass,
Right?
You have solid evidence if you look at your life,
Look into your past,
To know that everything changes.
I'm sure you've been through painful things before and survived.
Take your mind there when you feel like you want to go back.
Take your mind to all the things you survived before,
That eventually passed.
You lived,
You learned,
And you got stronger because of them.
Take your mind there,
Because this too shall pass.
Tune into your abdomen for a moment.
Feel your stomach.
Deepen and lengthen your breath if your tummy is tight.
See if you can relax the muscles in your stomach.
Soften the tension.
Your abdomen is normally the place where you'll feel,
Physically feel,
Your intuition.
All those times where you get that feeling in your gut that something's not right,
That's your intuition talking to you.
Or in all the positive times where your tummy feels all tingly and butterfly-y and happy,
That's your intuition talking to you.
You'll also notice there's a contraction and an expansion,
Energetically but also physically.
If you focus,
You can really feel it in your abdomen.
And when your intuition is trying to warn you of something,
Your tummy will tighten.
It will contract.
It pulls away as if it's retreating away from the situation.
And when your intuition is happy and good to go with something,
Your tummy will feel relaxed,
Open,
Expansive,
As if it's ready to receive.
Think about your relationship,
The one that you've just left.
How often did it tell you that something wasn't right?
That it felt uncomfortable,
Just not settled.
Your body didn't feel right.
How often did your inner voice keep repeating things in your mind like,
This is not right,
I'm not happy,
Something doesn't feel good,
Something should feel different,
This is not enough for me,
Everything's great but I'm still not happy.
That inner voice,
Your intuition,
Your gut,
Start listening to it.
Promise yourself to listen to it from now on.
Trust in your intuition,
Trust yourself for the future.
You are wise,
You are connected,
And you're exactly in the right place right now.
Everything that you're going through is exactly what you need to move forward into the next chapter of your life.
Try and be excited for that.
Focus on that.
Take a final big deep breath in through your nose for me,
All the way down into the base of your tummy.
Take some love down there and then breathe out until empty.
You can open your eyes and bring yourself back into your reality.
You've got this.
You can do this.
You're stronger than you think.
Namaste,
My friend.
