Transcript
So I know some of you here might really need some letting go right now.
I know some of you here might really need some trust.
So hopefully this meditation that I'm going to take you through will help you to allow more,
To trust more,
To be more.
Alright?
Everyone close your eyes.
Take a few deep breaths.
And it's good to be sitting up.
You know the posture that you use when you meditate is important.
And so for this I'd like you to be sitting straight up.
Not tense but just strong.
Alright?
I'd like your back to be erect but not stiff.
And so you feel grounded in your tailbone.
You could be sitting on a chair.
You could be crossed-legged.
It doesn't matter.
If you lay down the likelihood that you will fall asleep is high.
So please sit up if you can.
Very good.
Okay we're gonna start with some intentional breaths.
I'd like you like us all to take three intentional breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth.
And inhale.
And exhale.
Inhale.
And exhale.
One more time.
Inhale.
And exhale.
Very good.
Take a moment to stop.
Take a moment to be where you are.
Take a moment to let go of anything that came before this moment.
And take a moment to let go of anything that's going to come after this moment.
So you can be right here,
Right now,
Just following my voice.
Good.
And now just follow your breath for just a little bit while we start to really get you prepared to be receptive to what we're going to be doing today.
Be in a receptive place.
Good.
And now to help us to disengage the body.
We're going to engage the body for just a moment.
So I'd like you to imagine,
Sense,
Or feel a beautiful white light like a spotlight above your head and shining down on you.
This beautiful spotlight is pure white,
Crystalline energy.
And it's shining down.
It's about three to five feet above your head.
And you can feel its warmth.
Feel it hitting the tops of your head,
The top of your head,
And your shoulders.
This beautiful,
Pure,
White,
Crystalline light starting to go over your skull,
Over your face,
Down your neck.
And as it starts to slowly go down,
Wherever it touches,
You relax and you let go.
Take a deep breath.
And now it slowly starts to go over your shoulders and the tops of your arms and your collarbone.
Feeling safe,
Feeling relaxed.
And slowly,
Gently,
It just keeps going down your arms,
Over your chest,
Down all the way to the tips of your fingers.
So your arms are completely enveloped in this beautiful white light,
Relaxing you,
Allowing you to let go.
As it travels down your chest and over your solar plexus and all of your internal organs of your torso.
Don't forget that it's going down your back too.
And as it does this,
All of your organs,
Your lungs,
Your stomach,
Your spleen,
Your liver,
All start to just relax.
Very good.
Take a deep breath into your nose,
Out through your mouth.
Very good.
Now it's going to travel down to the bottom of your torso and the top of your thighs,
Covering your buttocks,
Your reproductive organs,
And feel that beautiful white light just relaxing your lower back,
Your reproductive organs,
Your buttocks and the tops of your thighs,
Just letting go.
Good.
And now it just keeps going all the way down your legs,
This beautiful white light that's keeping you safe,
Making you feel relaxed till it's underneath the soles of your feet.
And now you're completely enveloped in this beautiful white light.
Take a deep breath and just sit in this beautiful space of this crystal and white light.
And from this space,
We're going to just look at some things within ourselves and within life in general.
Gently and easily begin to look at your body,
Look at your,
That sensei or feel where in your body do you respond when I say the word control?
Where is that?
Notice it for you.
Control.
You might feel it in your head,
Your stomach,
Your feet.
Find out where it is.
Control.
Good.
Wherever it is,
Is fine.
Everyone's different.
And now I want you to think about and bring up what it is that you're trying to control by connecting with that place in your body.
What is it you're trying to control?
There's no right or wrong answer.
Really contemplate this.
You may not come up with an answer,
But you get the feeling that that's where your control is.
Could be a relationship.
You could be trying to control the future.
You could be trying to control the past,
Other people,
Politics,
Your weight,
Your spiritual practice.
Just pick one of those things,
If you can,
That you identify with trying to control.
Good.
And so this part of you that needs this control of this thing,
This person or yourself,
This part of you is literally blocking yourself from yourself.
It is a story.
It is a projection.
Control always comes with projection and some story.
In this moment,
I'd like you to see if you can begin to get in touch with that physical place and start to breathe the white light into it.
Take a deep breath.
That white light that's there.
I'd like you to breathe that white light into that place in your body that needs control.
Notice what's happening.
We're not trying to get rid of the control.
We're just breathing light into it.
You should be feeling a shift of energy somehow.
It doesn't matter how.
And if you're feeling that shift,
I want you to allow more of the white light,
That energy to go into that place in your body by breathing more into it.
Breathe in.
And I want you to now consciously into that place in your body where the control is,
I want you to breathe in trust.
I want you to breathe in limitlessness.
Take a deep breath in.
Limitlessness.
I want you to breathe in miracles into that place.
Breathe in miracles.
I want you to breathe into that space possibility.
Breathe in possibility.
Trust.
Limitlessness.
Miracles.
Possibility.
Go right back to that place.
Right now,
Focus on it.
And now check out and feel and sense,
What does that control space feel like now?
What does that space feel like now?
What does that control place feel like now?
Now that control has been let go into trust,
Into limitlessness,
Into possibility,
And into miracles.
Just sense it,
Feel it.
Good.
And to wrap this up,
This is a very effective way to begin to let go and allow more.
We just need to see the blocks to the presence of love.
And that's what we're doing.
Now I'd like you to just contemplate that thing that you were thinking about controlling,
That person,
Yourself.
How are you feeling about it now?
What does it feel like now?
Just make a note of it,
Nothing to do about it.
Good.
Now what you've just done is really important and it's very powerful.
Allow yourself to just breathe in this experience.
Remember it.
And as you start to come back,
Know that you have done really deep and important work for yourself and your spirit.
And now we're slowly going to begin to come back to the room that you're in.
The way we're going to do that is I want you to start to feel your feet.
Move them around.
And we're going to go up your body now.
Feel your legs.
You can move around a little bit.
Feel your torso and your spine.
You can start to move your shoulders and your neck and even your arms.
You can stretch.
Take a deep breath in.
Release it.
Roll your head around.
So you really come back to this space right here,
Right now.
And we're going to count backwards.
And by the time we get to one,
You're going to be completely back,
Aware and awake.
Five,
Waking up.
Four,
More alerts.
Five,
Almost here.
Three,
You're almost back.
And one,
And you're back.
Open your eyes.
Take a deep breath.
Very good.

I love Max. Have followed his work since periscope was out and I was in deep grief. Always come back to his spiritual practices. He’s so authentic and you can feel he is speaking to your heart and everyone’s heart with love.
