Transcript

Radical acceptance rests on letting go of the illusion of control and a willingness to notice and accept things as they are right now without judgment.

Marsha Linehan So let's begin by settling into comfort.

Letting your face soften.

Letting your shoulders drop.

And your arms and legs relax.

Find your center as you bring your attention onto the rhythm of your breath.

Breathe in a little deeper with every inhale.

And breathe out a little longer with every exhale.

Slowing you down.

Clearing your mind.

And breathe out a little deeper.

The glow of red,

Hot pain lives somewhere inside.

Where what we want fights harshly against what is.

It pulsates when someone isn't acting the way we want.

It bubbles when a situation isn't what we want it to be.

It roars with violent waves and tells our ego that the only way to calm it is to get what we want.

To change the situation at all costs.

Or to change the people.

Our ego flares.

We make them wrong.

We demonize what goes against our desires.

And we suffer.

And cause suffering around us.

Feel the toxic pain of this red glow burning throughout your body.

Head up.

Thanks bad man.

Now take a deep breath in,

Inviting the air to cleanse you.

And calm the storms of suffering.

Breathe deep again and again.

Slowly.

Fully.

Dimming the red glow of dissonance inside.

And settling into a place of stillness.

Nice and Rounds.

Here is where radical acceptance is born.

In the calm space of our deep selves,

Who transcends the ego and understands the freedom that comes when we let go of control and accept what is.

I accept who you are.

I accept what is as it is.

Radical acceptance is not weak.

It is not giving in.

It is not surrendering your power.

Radical acceptance allows us to dissolve our expectations.

Be present to what is and opens up spaces for us to grow.

And love to thrive.

I accept what is as it is.

I accept what is as it is.

So,

Come inside.

Run with your spirit and imagine your healing hands gently resting upon those red places inside of you.

Accepting the people.

Accepting what is.

Accepting all of you.

Cooling the heat and releasing the pain.

Step through the doors of radical acceptance and feel the freedom.

The lightness.

And embrace the love.

Namaste.

Now,

Begin with someone,

Said when you are.

Wonderful! I throughly enjoyed the combo of voice, music and sound effects.

I’m healing from a military trauma that involved mass casualties all burnt. Hundreds. I have been on a spiritual journey to heal what will. This track was perfect during my stage of recovery. You made this FOR me. It really felt physically like fire. I stayed in it and rode it out, and settled into it. Then I did what you said. The first deep breath most of it subsided. Third breath it left. I’m not sure how to express my gratitude.

So so so powerful! I love how the music and story are intertwined, it gives the practice so much extra power and helps to truly follow the journey and feel the feelings. I am very impressed by the quality and feel incredibly grateful 🙏❤️ Thank you!

So helpful. I really felt the heat of the pain. So destructive. Hope that I will be able to let that go as often as I think of your helpful words.

Omg so wonderful!!! Thank you!
