Hello and thank you for joining me for this meditation to help us relax and Release some of the energies and thoughts that are no longer serving us in his book the untethered soul Michael singer writes a Wise person remains centered enough to let go every time the energy shifts into its offensive mode the moment the energy moves relax and release Letting go means falling behind the energy Instead of going into it.
So we're gonna work on that today We're gonna work on falling behind the energies and the thoughts And we're gonna begin this by becoming comfortable in the physical body Finding a place where you can sit and rest And really relax that physical body Relax body is a great vessel for a relaxed mind So as you rest here,
Let the eyes fall closed Let's go ahead and take those shoulders and bring them up back and down Allow the arms to grow heavy Unclench the fist letting the hands relax on the thighs Or the lap Let your hips relax and sink a bit into the surface you're resting on Let your legs grow nice and heavy And your feet just ground down Bringing awareness back up to the heart and let that come forward a little bit draw your shoulders back Bring your spine a little bit tall and let your heart come forward a bit just getting that body Ready to relax and receive the information The mind shares with it.
Good.
And now as you relax here just begin to bring your awareness to your breath Simply flowing in and out of the body Good Remembering that anytime you become distracted you can always come back to the breath So let's begin by thinking of a situation That might have caused us some difficulty Maybe it's sadness or fear or stress And it can be a situation that Happened a long time ago or it can be something pretty recent Just something that we want to remember It can be something pretty recent just something that we want to start working on letting go of And maybe it's something at work with your boss or maybe it's something at home with your partner Maybe it's something really big or something small.
It could be something as simple as a stubbed toe Just a situation that caused you a little stress or worry or anxiety that you are ready to release And really think back on this put yourself back in the situation noticing How you feel?
But also noticing What your thoughts what your mind is telling you?
About the situation is your mind telling you to be angry?
Is your mind telling you to let it go is your mind?
Telling you anything where are your thoughts with this situation?
Just notice become aware of Those thoughts and let's really investigate here Are there conflicting thoughts are there conflicting?
Sensations or emotions Are your emotions creating your thoughts or are your thoughts creating your motions?
And as we put ourselves in this situation as we start to notice what's going on in the mind Let's just know that our thoughts Are really just trying to keep us safe And just because we think it it doesn't mean that it's necessarily true or right It doesn't mean that it's wrong either though so let's Take a step back Take a step back And let's thank our thoughts Perhaps placing one hand on the heart and saying thank you thoughts For helping me become aware of how I feel in the moment Thank you thoughts for helping me Stay safe Thank you thoughts for helping me manage this situation In a way that you feel is best for me And as we thank these thoughts Let's again with that step back Say to our thoughts.
I thank you,
But I believe That this situation is safe for me.
I Believe that this situation is Worthy of me staying open.
I believe this situation Would be best served by releasing my previous thought patterns and Opening myself to something new So thank you thoughts For keeping me safe and healthy But in this moment,
I am This moment I will allow you to release and Relax away Good and just take a breath or two Let your body relax and noticing that some of those thoughts may try to creep back in And if they do it's okay We can at any time close our eyes Center into our breath Thank our thoughts But allow them to release and let go Realizing what is happening Becoming aware and then allowing it to release Allowing it to relax and fade away Excellent.
So when you're ready,
Just take a moment here to let all of your thoughts Images feelings let everything kind of dissolve and allow your mind to just rest It's been working quite hard over the last 10 minutes or so and when you're ready taking a breath and Gently fluttering open your eyes And just let yourself just be alive moving into the rest of your day
