Releasing Disappointment

A gentle opportunity to be fully present with the experience and emotions of disappointment followed by an invitation to let go and be free.

Transcript

Welcome to this moment.

This opportunity to just be.

Nothing to do,

Nowhere to go.

Breathing easily.

Nice easy breath,

Allowing your body to settle.

Being in this moment,

No right way or wrong way to do it,

Just to be.

Allow your body to shift if you need to,

To get comfortable.

And as you breathe,

See if you can allow each breath to ease into your body.

Breathing through all the muscles and the bones.

Using that natural magical breath to simply relax every part of you.

Each breath moving deeply into every muscle,

Every bone,

Every cell.

The body is so smart,

Without even efforting or having to think about it.

The body knows that each breath heals and soothes and relaxes.

Feel how good it is to just breathe.

And here we are together in this moment.

Knowing that we have chosen this moment to sit and be with disappointment.

And as we move through the next few minutes,

Know that you are completely lovingly supported wherever you are,

However you feel.

In this moment you are safe.

And allow however you feel to be exactly as it is.

Even if at any point you feel emotion rise up that is so strong,

That is too strong,

Remember that all you have to do is breathe.

And allow that emotion to be what it is in this moment.

And as you think about what brought you to this meditation,

See if you can imagine holding your hands cupped before you.

That disappointment sitting in the palm of your hands,

Like a stone,

Gray and heavy,

Real hard disappointment.

Feel the ache of it resting in your palms.

Breathe.

Not trying to change anything.

Just allowing the weight of that disappointment to sit in the palm of your hands.

Allow the weight to truly sink into your lap.

Feel it there resting.

Imagine that you hold that stone of disappointment in your hands and all the emotion that comes with it pours from your heart and your soul and your stomach and your mind like waves and pours into the stone and the stone absorbs it all.

Imagine all those waves of emotion flowing out of you and into that heavy,

Dark stone resting deeply in the palm of your hands.

Feel all the energy of sorrow and anger,

Regret.

See them like waves pouring out of your heart into the stone.

Allow the stone to become heavier and heavier.

And as that stone of disappointment pulls all of those emotions from your heart and your stomach and your mind and becomes heavier,

Feel how much lighter you begin to feel.

A simple transferring of all that emotion and disappointment into that stone.

Your heart,

Your stomach,

Your mind,

Your soul becoming lighter and lighter even as that stone becomes heavier and heavier.

And as that stone of disappointment pulls all of those emotions from your heart and your mind and your mind and your mind becomes heavier and heavier.

Feel the weight of that stone in your palms resting heavily in your lap.

And allow your next breath to be deep and long.

And as you pull that breath deep into your body,

Notice if there is any other emotion just hanging out.

Notice if there is anything else you want to breathe away into that stone.

And take another deep breath.

Imagine that breath moving through your body,

Collecting anything that doesn't serve you.

And as you exhale,

Imagine that you're blowing that into the stone.

And with that breath,

Your body,

Your mind and your soul are free.

Each breath cleansing you deeper,

More purely to your very core,

Releasing anything that does not serve you in joy and peace.

And with another deep breath,

Imagine that you lift your palms and gently set that stone down into the ground.

Watch as the weight of it sinks into the soft earth.

The earth welcomes that stone and cleanses it,

Grateful to be a part of your healing,

Knowing that this is the natural order of earth to soul and soul to earth,

Safe and whole and healed.

Feel the lightness in your hands now that you've released that stone back into the earth.

Feel how light your whole body feels,

Clean and clear.

And as you breathe,

Lighter and pure,

You notice that the stone at your feet is clear as a crystal.

The earth has worked her magic and you are free.

You are free.

This was such a great thing to listen to. Wonderful soft, soothing voice without distraction of background music.
I was very disappointed in not getting the job I wanted today. Have been really upset about it. This meditation really helped me become clear and let the earth take that burden of disappointment. Thank you!

I felt the energy in my focus and felt lighter with release afterwards 🙏

I remember listening to this meditation in the past but didn’t take the time to rate the experience. No doubt I was a disappointed in myself not the meditation! So I am taking the time to properly rate this meditation and thank you for reminding me and everyone that disappointment can guide us on the path if we allow it to guide us. 🙏🏼🪷
