This sharing is a multiplier.
These sharings don't replace your current practices.
They're here to amplify them,
Making your practices more powerful,
More sustainable and more joyful.
What if everything you've ever learned could now work even better?
What if meditation became easier,
Mindfulness more natural and life lighter?
Let's begin.
Take a comfortable position on a sofa,
A chair or the edge of your bed and let this story do its magic.
Close your eyes and listen to my voice as if you were a tree vibrating with the voice of the warm wind that envelops it,
Just as this voice now envelops you.
Let your head relax and this time listen with your whole body,
Not to understand but to let the message envelope you.
Once upon a moment,
Not far away in space or time,
But right here in this breath,
In this room,
In this body you think you didn't choose and yet you call home,
There was a human being,
Maybe like you,
Maybe like me,
A human being tired,
Full of thoughts,
Caught in the invisible thread of too much,
Too much to do,
Too much to feel,
Too much to carry.
So one day this human being,
In a whisper of wisdom,
Did something unusual.
They sat down,
Not to work,
Not to fix,
Not even to meditate properly,
Just to sit on a sofa,
A chair or the edge of a bed and they let themselves be held,
Not metaphorically but literally,
Just held like you and me right now.
And in that moment something astonishing began to unfold.
The sofa,
The bed,
The chair,
This thing made of wood,
Metal and fabric has weight but doesn't feel heavy.
Why?
Because you're not lifting it,
You're not carrying it,
You didn't grasp it.
And just like that a soft insight appears.
What if life is the same?
What if nothing weights us down until we try to grasp it,
To carry it?
What if fear,
Anger,
Stress,
Uncertainty,
These draining emotions are signals,
Messages telling us you are trying to carry life?
Because grasping doesn't only happen with the hands,
We grasp with the mind,
We clench with our thoughts,
We replay the past.
Why did he do that?
Why didn't I speak up?
Why did that happen to me?
We replay the past until the invisible becomes unbearable.
Or we fear the future.
What if I'm not enough?
What if I lose my job?
What if she leaves me?
Heavy questions,
Heavier than anything we physically carry.
With one hand we try to hold the past and with the other we grip the future.
Crucified between what was and what might be,
We become unable to touch what is.
What if just for now you didn't pick up those thoughts?
Just for now,
You open your hands,
You release the past,
You release the future and suddenly you are free.
Do you feel that?
A breeze of fresh air in your chest,
A softening of the shoulders,
A deeper breath,
Peace,
Clarity,
Space.
All because you've come home to the now,
To the moment where all things begin and nothing needs to be held.
Physical fatigue tells you you've carried too much.
Without that fatigue you might not stop.
Physical fatigue protects your body and mental tiredness protects your mental health.
Now place one hand on your belly.
Feel the gentle rise and fall,
The movement of life that wants to be lived.
Let your breath speak.
Not with words,
But with rhythm.
Not with logic,
But with love.
And now,
As this story closes without an ending,
Next time life feels heavy,
Ask yourself this quiet question.
What am I holding now that I could set down now?
Not forever,
Not for good,
Just for now.
And let that be enough.
Let it move with you,
Breathe with you.
Lightness was never lost,
It was simply forgotten.
And remembering is enough.
