Guided Surrender

The focus and intention of this guided meditation is peaceful, effortless surrender. Often times, knowingly or unknowingly, we wrestle with reality. We fight to hold onto whatever expectation was learned, made or inherited, and in doing so we lose sight of the only thing any of us ever really have: the present moment. It's hard to let go on your own; I hope this helps.

Find a comfortable seat or physical position. Soften your gaze. Lengthen through your spine. Create space anywhere in your body that there can be space and spaciousness. Start to notice your breath. Soft, Steady, Effortless. Allow yourself to drop into the space, To drop into your body, Into this present moment. With each exhale, Allow your thoughts to release. With each exhale, Allow your body to relax. No struggle. Tender awareness. No craving. Total surrender. Non-doing. Using the breath, Come to a place of being. Nothing to achieve. Nowhere to go. Not more or less. Higher or lower. Right here, Right now. Exactly as you are with whatever is happening in your mind, In your body, In your heart. For this moment, Try not to change anything. For this moment, Allow yourself to be and feel exactly as you are. Create space between whatever narrative is happening and your identity, Who you are, Your soul, Your spirit. You are the witnessing the thoughts. You are the one witnessing the breath. Pure conscious awareness. Observation without attachment. Without judgment. Without identification. Self-inquiry with absolutely no goal. There's no aim. There's no end. The whole point is to merge with oneness, To merge with what is, To stop fighting, To let go. Breathing being. Releasing all expectation of what this should look like, Of how this should feel. Acceptance of whatever is. It's all okay. It's all welcome here. All feelings in distant knowing that you are not those feelings. They will pass just like the thoughts in your head, Just like the clouds in the sky. Loosen your grip. Hold a little less tightly. Soften your face. Soften your gaze. Open your heart. A time to not take things so serious is right now. Any thought you may have will not save you. Complete surrender. Total peace. Presence. At last. Stay here. Pause. Look within. Listen. You are everything. You have everything. No need to want for what you do not have. On this path, We learn, We unlearn, And along the way, We all wander quite a bit. You're still on the path. You're never off the path. And the truth is the only real way forward is the way inward. Getting to know yourself in silence. Curious. Compassionate. Start to deepen your breath. As you breathe in, Feel your lungs expand, Your heart space open. As you breathe out, Let it all go. Empty everything. Fill up your lungs. Breathe in. Open your mouth. Release. One more like that. Breathe in. You are alive. Breathe out. Another chance. Opportunity to show up as your true self, As your right self, As your highest self. Peace and presence are always available to you. Godspeed.
