Letting Go Meditation
We often think that we cannot escape the past and believe that the future is forever linked to it. And so if we don’t escape our past, we carry it with us and often don’t realize that by doing so, we are encumbered with the same burdens and carry on with the same thoughts, behaviours and habits that are no longer useful to us. We live 'back there' and in doing so we fail to 'live here'. The future doesn’t have anything to do with the past. We just think it does. We need to let go of the future too. Truly living is ‘living’ in this moment, stretching time and breathing more fully. The moment is fleeting. We need to grasp it and cherish it. I am thankful to the poet who kindly allowed me to use the work "Let Go". I read it to my students often and each time I do it opens new windows for them and for me. It has helped me inhale more easily and perhaps it will resonate with you too.
