Welcome to this meditation. And thank you for taking this moment for yourself. If you're going through heartbreak. You may feel stuck between what was and what comes next. Part of you may want to move forward. While another part is still holding on. And that's okay. Today we'll explore the wisdom of water. And what it can teach us about moving through heartbreak. Find a comfortable position. Either sitting or laying down. Let your body settle. And if it feels comfortable. Gently close your eyes. Let's take a slow breath in here. And breathe out. Again, Breathing in. In and out. You One more time. Feeling the support beneath you. There's nothing you need to figure out right now. Is take your moment to arrive. Now imagine yourself standing beside a flowing river. Take a moment to picture the water in front of you. Notice its color. Maybe it's clear enough to see the stones beneath the surface. Notice the little ripples forming and disappearing. And listen. The sound of the water. As it flows past. Now watch the water moving along the river. How it follows the curves of the river. In some places the water moves quickly. In others, It slows down. And where the river widens. The surface may become calm and still. Notice what happens when the water meets a rock. It doesn't need to push it away. It flows around it. Finding its way through the space that's available. And when the river changes direction. The water follows. It doesn't flow back upstream. It continues along its way. Watch the water for a little longer. It flows over stones. Through sunlight and shade. Past places it has never been before. And along the way it carries the traces of its journey. A fallen leaf may travel with it for some time. Sand may shift beneath it. The river is shaped by everything it passes through. And still the water. Continues to flow. Maybe there is something we can learn from the way water flows. It adapts when the path changes. When it meets an obstacle. It finds a way around it. It doesn't flow back upstream. But continues along its way. It carries things with it. While allowing the river to keep moving. And it doesn't always move at the same pace. Sometimes it flows quickly. Sometimes slowly. And sometimes it becomes still. When a relationship ends. Life may take a different direction. Than the one you imagined. You may wish things could go back to how they were. But just as a river cannot flow back upstream. You can begin to find your way forward. Even when the path looks different from what you hoped for. You don't need to know where that path will lead. You can miss someone and still move forward. You can carry the memories. Appreciate what you shared. And take what you've learned from the relationship with you. You don't have to forget someone. To continue living your life. And remember. . . You don't have to move at the same pace every day. Some days you may feel ready to move forward. Other days, You may need to slow down. Rest. And allow yourself to feel what hurts. Both are part of your journey. You don't have to rush your healing. And take a slow comfortable breath in And gently breathe out Again, Breathing in. And out. One more time. Let the image of the river slowly fade. Bring your attention back to your body. Noticing the support beneath you. Noticing the space around you. When you're ready. Gently open your eyes. Take your time before moving on with your day. And maybe there's one last thing to take with you. It's the stones in the river. That make it sound so beautiful. Thank you for practicing with me. And sending you a lot of softness in this process. From my heart. To yours.
