The Gift Of Losing Everything That Can Be Lost

An invitation to lose everything that can be lost - your belongings, your roles and relationships, your past, your future, the story of yourself. The very willingness to lose everything reveals a great gift of what cannot be lost.

Transcript

Just closing your eyes and as you close your eyes you might start to become aware of some various sensations in your body you might be able to feel where the chair touches your legs and all of that can be a signal that in this moment you who's the one who is aware has full permission in this moment to stop and to open and to let yourself relax really really deeply and now you might become aware of the sensation even deeper inside and even if you're not aware of one you can imagine that there is one and I want you to imagine that whatever this sensation is that it has a kind of weight to it almost like an anchor I want you to imagine that it's attached to your mind maybe by a string or a rope or whatever it is for you and that this sensation can sink inside and it can pull your mind in and down in a mysterious way and I don't know what it would feel like for you to feel your mind being pulled down and in inside but it can feel so good it can feel so deepening so relaxing to let everything fall away and as you feel yourself falling in I want you to imagine that you fall down into open space and as you fall into open space you can fall into a layer of space that is has a certain color and a certain vibration and a certain texture and you can imagine yourself falling down through this layer and this particular color and texture and vibration and tone is really soothing for your emotional body and I don't know what that would feel like for you but this color and vibration and tone and texture can be so healing and soothing for your emotional body just letting all the emotions in your body come to peace as you fall down through this layer this layer of space that has a particular color that just emanates and permeates every cell of your body and giving your emotional body full permission to stop and to rest and to come to peace and so you can imagine yourself falling down through this layer of soothing your emotional body and you can pop out the bottom and you can fall into the next layer that has a different color and a different vibration and different tone this time it's absolutely deeply healing for your physical body it can be like getting the most beautiful perfect massage that you love healing treatment where all the cells of your body can say yes and can relax and can open and if there's areas in the body that there's tension maybe places you didn't even know had tension and they can also start to open and relax and deepen and I can feel so good just to be falling through this layer of space nothing to do no one to be just falling through this layer of deep healing for your physical body once again you can fall out the bottom and you can fall into another layer and this layer is a different color and a different tone and vibration that's just right for your mental body for your nervous system for the electrical impulses in your brain and in your spine and in your nerves and so this particular color and texture and vibration and tone is deeply healing and soothing for your nervous system just letting everything come to peace just giving all your nerves permission to relax and to come to peace and that can feel so good to just be falling down through this layer of space as everything in your body comes to pace to a deep state of relaxation and then you can fall out the bottom of this layer into empty open space and as you fall through this empty open space I want you to imagine that you are carrying with you a great big bag and it's a kind of magical bag this bag contains in it everything that you have everything that you own everything that you've achieved everything that you know all your relationships it's got everything that you call me in my world is inside this bag and I don't know what that bag would look like or how heavy it would be but I imagine it would have a particular weight and a particular feel to it this bag of your life this bag of me and I want you to imagine that at some moment you can decide to open the bag and to start letting certain things out and I don't know what would come out first maybe it might be your work and you can just imagine that if it is your work it could be something else that everything that represents your work can just fly out of this bag and fly off into empty open space and that bag can get just a little lighter as you lose everything that has to do with your work and I don't know what might be next but maybe it could be your childhood and I don't know if you're ready for that but you can just imagine what it would be like to open this bag and to let everything that relates to your childhood fly out that bag as you lose it out into empty open space and I don't know what that feels like to lose your childhood and your childhood memories but you can just have an experiment and see what happens if you lose all of your childhood in this moment as you're falling through space and maybe as you're falling through space and the bag is slightly open you can imagine that all your relationships fly out this bag that you lose all your relationships and I don't know what that would feel like maybe you could feel some fear first or some resistance of course no one wants to lose their relationships but you can just give it a little experiment what would happen if I lost all my relationships just for a moment just as an experiment and you could fall through this empty open space after having lost all your relationships and then maybe after your relationships you can lose everything you own all your objects maybe it's your house maybe your car I don't know what it is maybe this particular objects that you really love and some that you just accumulated but you can just imagine that out of this bag flies all of your objects everything and even though there might be a sense of losing things you love you might also notice that this bag is getting lighter and lighter and I wonder if you can imagine that after you've lost all your objects what if you lost your future and I don't know what that would look like or how that would be represented visually for you but you can imagine that out of that bag comes all your future hopes and dreams what if you lost all of the future in this moment as you fall through space so you can just let that happen now and notice what it feels like notice what it feels like to have lost everything to do with your work to have lost everything to do with your childhood to have lost everything to do with your relationships and to have lost everything to do with your future and what if next what you lost was everything that you know everything that you know can be lost in this moment what does that feel like what's that experience like maybe you didn't know very much and so it wasn't very big change maybe you knew a lot and so it is a big change so you can just notice what it's like to lose everything that you know it's really good and this bag is starting to get very light and if there's anything else that's still in there you can just open the bag fully up and let everything out and you can even let go of the bag itself and so as that bag flies away there's one thing left to lose and so as you fall through this open space you can imagine that the cells of your body starts to start to dissipate almost like leaves being blown away in the wind as you fall more and more your body the cells of your body and the atoms start to disappear start to fly away like leaves being blown away in the wind and you fall more and more and more of your body disappears blows away until finally there's no body left when there's no body left there's only empty open space no past and no future no story no relationships no ideas no knowledge and just let yourself be this empty open space just for a moment just be empty open space and notice what it feels like to just simply be nothing at all it's really good and in being nothing at all it's possible that you can discover some kind of wisdom in this emptiness it's possible that this emptiness itself can impart wisdom and I don't know what it might say or what the message might be but you can just let this emptiness give you some kind of lesson some kind of wisdom some kind of gift you just let that happen now in some mysterious way when you've learned this lesson or you've received this gift you can start to let your attention come back up but the invitation is to do it without attaching your body without reforming your body without picking up your past and future without picking up your relationships is it possible to let your attention come back up where you can feel the body and you can sense that you're back in this room and you can hear my voice clearly but you can stay as nobody as nothing at all empty completely empty just check and see what would that be like to open your eyes and be completely empty that's the invitation to lose everything and to not pick it back up again so you can let the insights that have come up from this guided meditation you can let them work on you later today or tonight you may find yourself discovering something you can just let that happen thank you

Thank you for this. I really love the simplicity. Just your voice, no other sounds to distract. Allows me to drop into the experience. To finally be guided into letting everything go, to allow the emptying out, brings profound relief. Relief from all the time and energy spent on trying to keep it all together, to gather it back in, to hold on tightly, and to muster up the strength to keep it all happening, when all the while it all just seems to be slipping through my hands, out of my grasp. I literally felt my fingers and uncurl and sensation of energy flowing out of my palms. An emptying out. Thank you. I will return.

🙏

Amazing. To let everything and everyone go. So freeing.

That - was really, really clever. Unusual and cleansing, stilling and fulfilling, emptying and filling up all at the same time. I needed that. Have a great day. Thanks.
