Close your eyes.
And just notice the rise and fall of your breath.
As you begin to relax,
Your body knows how to relax.
Your body is relaxing now.
Your mind is focusing on the sound of my voice.
And as it focuses on the sound of my voice,
You find yourself going into deeper and deeper relaxation.
I want you to think of a problem that you have been wrestling with for a while.
Imagine you're carrying a backpack,
And that problem is the weight on your back.
This problem you're carrying,
Wanting to let go of but can't.
It's weighing you down.
And imagine you're in this beautiful place,
And there's a cool,
Still lake,
Wonderful sunshine and you're standing on the edge of this beautiful lake,
Wanting to find peace,
Wishing you can enjoy this beauty,
But you can't because of this heavy weight you're carrying in your mind.
So imagine taking off that backpack and putting it on the edge of the lake.
And as you open it up,
You'll find rocks with words on them that represent all the noise your mind is telling you,
All the stories about this problem,
All the limitations.
As you look down at these ideas,
You realize why it feels so heavy.
But you can direct your mind.
You have the ability to let go of these thoughts and find the peace within.
So I want you to imagine picking up the rocks.
Each rock represents a certain worry about that situation,
A narrative or idea that keeps you from really finding a true solution.
Your mind is so busy with these thoughts.
It's weighed down.
So take each rock,
One by one,
Examine what's on it,
And throw it into the lake.
Feel the release in your body as you let go of this idea.
Imagine you can see that rock slowly drifting down to the bottom of the lake,
Seeing the ripple across the still lake,
And then become still again.
And then take the next rock,
Do the same thing,
Let it go.
Feel it drift down to the bottom of the lake,
Just letting it go.
See the ripple effect on the surface.
And then everything is calm again.
The next one,
Let it go.
Let it sink down.
Let it settle in.
And each time you let go of the rock,
You feel lighter and lighter and lighter.
So I'm going to give you a moment to let go of all these rocks,
All these things you're carrying,
And just feel light again.
You can do that while I'm quiet.
So Now that you let go of all the worries and noise of your busy mind,
Notice how light you feel.
Notice that all that is left is this beautiful,
Brilliant light of pure awareness.
This is who you really are.
Feel this beautiful light move through every cell of your body.
And you can even fill that backpack up with this amazing light to carry with you,
No longer carrying the weight of your worries and fears,
And the busy mind,
Holding your mind in a state of peace and calm,
Trusting that the problem you were dealing with is going to be resolved.
You don't know how.
You don't know when.
All you need to do is let go of the busyness of your mind and allow the divine intelligence within you,
This pure awareness,
To fill you with insight,
Intuition,
To take you to the next step on your journey in life.
Remember the calm lake now,
That still calm,
Cool lake,
Undisturbed by the noise of the mind becomes clear,
Becomes illuminated,
Becomes powerful.
This is who you really are.
Take a moment to remember this truth.
Feel the lightness as you bring it back with you.
When you open your eyes and come back to the room.
