Hi my friend,
Welcome to the Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz Meditation Series.
This is agreement number two.
Do not take anything personally.
Go ahead and soften into a comfortable space,
Gently closing your eyes if you'd like.
Breathe in slowly,
Exhale even slower.
Allow everything outside of you to float away,
Returning to your inner world,
This internal awareness.
Notice the pace of your breath and the depth of your breath,
Breathing fuller breaths now.
Inhale,
Exhale.
So often we carry the weight of other people's words or actions or opinions and we allow those things to impact our worth,
We allow those things to impact our mood but what if we could release that burden,
What if we could root ourselves so deeply in our own truth that nothing could shake us.
Really breathe and anchor into your truth,
The truth of who you are beyond opinions,
Beyond judgment,
Beyond the external noise.
Really breathe into this sense of groundedness,
Breathing in this self-trust,
Exhale any doubt.
Release the weight of other people's words and actions,
Imagine other people's words or actions are like a gust of wind passing through.
You may feel it but you are not moved by it,
It does not define you.
You remain centered,
Steady,
Unshaken.
As you breathe here,
This golden light surrounds you.
This light does not block you from connection but it filters what gets to enter.
Only truth,
Only love,
Only what serves your highest good is allowed through.
Everything else dissolves before it reaches you.
Visualize this golden light,
Feel into its power,
Its purpose,
Feel this lightness of letting go,
Of not taking anything personally.
We truly have no idea why exactly people take action or people do what they do.
What if it has nothing to do with you?
Breathe in slow,
Exhale.
This agreement can really set your mind free.
Do not take anything personally,
Nothing others do is because of you,
What others say and do is a projection of their own reality,
Their own dream.
When you are immune to the opinions of others,
You won't be the victim of needless suffering.
You are free,
Free from the need of approval,
Free from the weight of other people's stories,
Decisions,
Actions,
Words.
Carry this feeling of lightness with you and your shield of golden light around you,
Remembering who you are,
Feeling rooted in your own truth,
So steady,
Unwavering,
Breathe in,
Exhale.
Taking this time to release anything that you've taken personally in the past,
Now is the time to set it free,
To not carry that weight,
Breathe in,
Take a moment to just sit in this new awareness.
What a gift it is to make this agreement with your heart,
Your mind.
Your truth is yours to keep and you are free to simply be you.
Carry this lightness with you,
Only when you're ready,
Opening your eyes if they were closed,
Finding some gentle movement,
Reorienting yourself in your space.
Take one more cleansing breath in and out,
From my heart to yours.
