Letting Everything Be As It Is

In this guided meditation, from an Insight Timer live session of December 31, 2023, we invite a non-controlling attitude towards all that is arising in our experience, allowing everything--feelings, emotions, sensations, thoughts, sounds--to be as they are, to come and go in their own time without clinging resistance, or judgment. The meditation ends with Mary Oliver's poem 'In Blackwater Woods.'

A beautiful reminder of what is really important. Thank you 🙏🏽

Exactly what I needed this morning. Just be! May you be happy! May I be happy.

This was extremely powerful — allowing feelings to visit and pass and end with self compassion. 🙏
