Hello and welcome to this meditation.
This is Rose Elizabeth with my life as roses.
And it's time to meditate.
In a comfortable seat,
Lying down or sitting up back supported,
Maybe legs crossed.
Whatever works for you to get comfortable and relaxed.
Listen to what your body is calling for today.
Once you get there,
Allow your eyes to shut and find a nice soft gaze.
Begin to pay attention to your breath.
Just your natural breath.
Notice how your body is breathing itself.
You don't have to do anything.
Notice how your heartbeat is also going.
Your body is pumping blood.
Your body is keeping you alive effortlessly.
Allow yourself to let go of anything in the past that's coming up.
Anything in the future that's coming up.
And allow yourself to get really present.
When thoughts come up,
Just let them fade away.
Start to become the observer of the thought.
See it just drift off after it comes up.
Know that you can think about the future or the past again when this meditation finishes.
But for now,
It's time to be present.
Oftentimes,
We don't like to come and sit and meditate because we have to deal with the present.
And oftentimes,
The present is uncomfortable.
What's going on internally sometimes is not fun to look at.
We try and avoid it with work,
Cell phones,
Drama,
The past or the future.
But it's important to have this time to get real with yourself and see what's going on internally.
So let's get really present.
And whatever is coming up for you right now,
I want you to sit with it.
I want you to lean into it.
Not necessarily immerse yourself in it.
You don't have to become it.
You don't have to get involved in it.
But allow it to be there without pushing it away.
Just allow yourself to sit with that feeling as it comes up.
Maybe with that insecurity,
With that worry,
With that fear.
Just allow it to be present instead of shoving it down,
Instead of pushing it away.
Sit with that feeling for a little bit longer.
Be the observer of that feeling.
I see you.
I see you coming up.
This feels pretty uncomfortable,
But I see it and I honor this emotion.
I'm going to sit with it a little bit longer.
And as you're sitting with it,
You might have noticed that it starts to feel like you're fading a little bit.
Maybe that emotion that we were so scared of trying to avoid really isn't that intense or big of a deal,
Right?
It starts to fade faster than we thought is what I'm saying.
That's what occurs when we give the feeling,
The emotion,
Attention,
We look at it,
We sit with it,
We allow it,
We accept it to come up.
And then we naturally see how it fades,
How it becomes less intense over time.
And maybe it's still intense for you.
Just continue to be the observer of it.
Lean into it.
And it will begin to fade.
It will begin to feel less scary,
Less intimidating.
Continue to let the emotion come up and fade naturally.
Money,
Brother.
Begin to come back to your breath.
Long deep inhales and long deep exhales.
Allowing the emotion and the feeling to just fade away.
Float away,
Ease away at its own time.
If at all you felt yourself getting involved with the emotion or it was hard for you to be the observer,
That's okay.
It's very normal.
You can always come back to your breath.
You can visualize it floating off like smoke,
Drifting off with the wind.
And I encourage you to do a physical practice today that will help you release this emotion even more.
You could take a nice shower and as you shower,
Washing your body,
You just imagine that the emotion is being cleansed and falling out of you and going down the drain.
You could go swimming,
Sit outside in the breeze and imagine it falling off,
Floating away.
Something that will help you feel like it's releasing.
Maybe you exercise and you sweat it out.
If you can do something that allows you to set the intention while you're doing it,
Maybe you visualize it a few moments of you doing it and let it drift away.
Let it drift off of your existence.
Let it drift out of your body.
Start to come back to this space.
Start to move your body slightly,
Ankles and wrists.
Maybe you stretch your arms up above you,
Good morning stretch,
Good afternoon stretch.
Feel the chair or the bed or the ground supporting you underneath.
Allow yourself to feel really grounded down as you come back to the present,
To the space that you're in.
Taking a few more deep breaths as you come back.
Floating your eyes open when you're ready.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
Many blessings to you.
