Hello and welcome to a guided practice here on Insight Timer.
My name is Jake and I will be your guide today.
And the theme of today's practice is releasing control.
When we walk through our lives trying to control every outcome,
Every decision,
Every interaction,
We create a lot of internal stress and strain within our system.
In this session,
We're going to use our breath,
Our body and affirmations to let go of what does not serve us us so that we can welcome in all that is good and all that is right.
So let's get settled in.
Prepare a space for yourself where you'll not be disturbed for the next 10 to 12 minutes.
Make sure that you are comfortable.
Make sure that you won't be disturbed.
Grabbing everything that you need to have a restorative and relaxing practice.
And when you're ready,
On your own time.
Close down your eyes.
Or if that doesn't feel okay for you right now,
Maybe just bringing a soft focus to the eyes.
And just slowly beginning to let go of your external world.
And open yourself up to your internal reality.
Feel the weight of the eyes close against the eyelids.
Bringing attention to the jaw and just releasing any tightness,
Releasing any strain,
Allowing the jaw just to soften and relax.
Bringing your attention up to your forehead.
Allowing your forehead just to soften and relax.
Keeping everything nice and loose,
Nice and light.
And just slowly beginning to bring your attention to your breath.
Notice your breathing in and out through the nose.
Notice the gentle inhale.
This is the soft relaxing exhale.
Actively drawing breath in,
Passively surrendering,
Releasing the breath away and just beginning to anchor your mind onto the subtle sensation of your breath.
Not changing anything,
Not altering anything.
Simply just bringing your awareness inward.
Softly surrendering.
Surrendering the day that you may have had,
Releasing that day,
Those tasks,
The conversations,
The places that you've been,
Letting that all just fade into the background,
Bringing your consciousness,
Bringing your awareness here into this moment right here right now.
Letting go of anything you plan to do after this session.
Letting go of any tasks,
Any conversations.
Any things that you need to do.
We're all here.
Secured in this present moment right here,
Right now.
And with this presence that we have created,
We're going to begin to regulate the breath in order to start to move and release anything that does not serve us.
So we'll begin by taking a slow inhale through the nose.
Exhale through the mouth.
Clearing breath,
Using the exhale to wash away any negativity,
Any doubt,
Any fear or insecurities.
Release what is not yours by breathing in.
Fill and expand the body and let go,
Surrender.
Breathing in.
Breathing out,
Releasing control,
Steady breath in.
Relaxed,
Easy breath out.
Slowing down the inhale even more now,
Breathing in.
Exhale let it go Breathing in.
Exhale,
Let it go.
Keep breathing now.
Steady rhythm of breath.
Breathing and breathing in peace.
Breathing in contentment.
Breathing in love.
Langorv.
Fear,
Lingo of doubt,
Lingo of any insecurities,
Sinking deeper into a state of relaxation.
Sinking into a place of contentment.
To a place of presence.
A place where doubt does not exist.
In a place where you're clear.
You are peaceful.
Breathing in.
And exhale,
Letting go.
Couple more breaths,
Breathing in.
Exhale,
Letting go.
Breathing in.
.
.
Exhale and go home.
Last breath now,
Breathing in.
Release,
Exhale.
And hold your breath at the bottom.
Hold your breath now.
Hold your breath for 5,
4,
3,
2,
1.
Breathe in.
And just feel the stillness within.
Step away from any control.
Step into sensation.
Observe anything that's happening around you.
Observe your own internal landscape.
Observe the peace.
And just witness everything that's happening.
Witness your own transformation in this moment.
Expanding consciousness.
Stepping into a new reality.
Stepping into presence.
Witness the whole.
Now we're going to use the power of sound.
The power of language,
The power of sound to directly program our subconscious and help us to release control.
When you're ready,
Repeat the words silently back into your mind.
I am not in control.
I surrender to the flow.
I am not in control.
I surrender to the flow.
I am not in control.
I surrender to the flow.
And just begin to release.
The affirmation.
Stepping back into your own inner awareness.
Allowing any thoughts to arise.
Everything is welcomed,
Everything is encouraged Witness yourself stepping away from controlling and allowing the magic of life to unfold as it is naturally supposed to.
You can take your hands together,
Rubbing them,
Creating friction.
Create heat and give yourself a loving and gentle face massage.
Taking one last deep breath in,
I release control,
Exhale,
I surrender to the flow.
