Releasing Perfectionism

Perfectionism can cause a lot of suffering and hold us back in all kinds of ways. I hope this short meditative poem set to music can support you in acknowledging, breathing into and unravelling any knot of perfectionism you find inside yourself. Go gently, friends. Everything happens in its own sweet time. (Music by Chris Collins at Indie Music Box.)

Transcript

There is a knot of perfectionism.

Tied tight inside.

It stops you from starting,

Says it's safer to hide.

The knot keeps you small and away from what's true.

Keeps you from giving the gift that is you.

Please take a second to just close your eyes.

Breathe into the knot and discover its lies.

The closer you look the more you will see.

The knot isn't made of reality,

It's just a bundle of energy stored from the past and now is the time to release it at last.

The knot will unravel,

Leaving space in your heart to breathe in more deeply and create your true art.

Www.

Mooji.
