Transcript

This is both a meditation and a prayer to assist us in severing old dysfunctional relationships and patterns and to invite new positive experiences in.

We begin by taking a breath.

Within ourselves are parts of us that blame,

Resent,

Hold on to anger,

Rage,

And even unforgiveness.

These emotions keep me stuck and small.

These emotions are holding me hostage,

Keeping part of me in a negative place,

Disallowing me from stepping into my authentic self and living from my true self,

My highest self.

Today I am choosing to let these emotions all go,

Unveiling more of my true self.

This part of me knows that these emotions do not serve me and they hold me back.

Take a breath.

I choose now to release these emotions,

People,

And circumstances that are keeping me tied to the past.

I ask for my guides,

Teachers,

And other beings of the highest light to please come in and assist with this process.

In my mind's eye,

I visualize the person that is in the past or presently bringing up pain for me or any other negative emotion.

As I see this person standing in front of me,

I notice the energetic cords that are attaching us.

There could be a few or even hundreds,

All sizes,

Some thick and some thin.

Take a moment to visualize these cords.

If you can't see them,

Imagine what they might look like.

Take a deep breath.

I choose to be set free from this person to develop a new relationship with them.

I choose to experience a higher connection with them,

One of the heart,

One of love,

One of compassion.

In your mind or out loud,

Say,

I thank you,

I love you,

And I forgive you as you look at this person.

I thank you,

I love you,

And I forgive you.

I choose to move on and let go of the past and start anew.

As you see these cords,

Imagine any object that you wish to use to cut these cords.

Scissors,

An axe,

A sword,

Anything.

Anything that comes to your mind.

Begin cutting through all of these cords and watch them fall to the ground and begin to disintegrate.

Take a moment and do this now.

With these cords,

I let go of all fear,

Blame,

Anger,

Resentment,

Rage,

And any other negative emotions that this person evokes within me.

I choose to release these emotions as they do not serve me and who I am today,

The new me and the healed me.

All of these emotions are disintegrating with these cords.

The person that now stands in front of me is able to connect with me only if I wish and only if it's in my highest good.

The new cords that will connect us are from the present moment and are of the light.

The goddess in me will guide me with the next steps and I trust this part of me to cultivate relationships that serve me and my highest good.

I intend from this moment on to have relationships that are of the light.

As I see this person in front of me,

I bow and say Namaste.

The spirit or God within me bows and honors the spirit or God within you.

I know that any ungodly action is simply an illusion.

Take a breath.

Send this person in front of you,

Light,

Watch them walk away,

Only inviting them to connect from a place of the light.

Take another breath.

I intend to hold myself in the light,

To come from my highest self,

To live in the moment,

To seek fact and truth,

To see others with the eyes of compassion,

And to lovingly set boundaries for myself when needed as I am worth it and I deserve to be taken care of in this way.

I see myself from my core,

Filling up with beautiful light that expands outside of me.

I look like a beautiful,

Beautiful sun.

This is the true me.

From here I forge ahead on my path and cultivate new nurturing relationships.

And I trust that even the relationships that have brought me pain had great meaning and helped me to discover more of who I am and who I am not.

All is well.

I am loved.

I wasn’t feeling too emotional or in a space to truly release, yet this meditation brought tears out of me. Just beautiful. Thank you for helping me to release the old, gritty, greasy ropes that held me to a person in my past who caused so much pain.

The visualization I got out of that really helped me in my quest to eliminate negative memories attached to previous relationships. I know I will soon be able to fully and completely surrender these thoughts, emotions, and patterns that do NOT serve me!

I loved the music. I loved the messages. Had to play it three times back to back as it went a bit fast for me to process all that "stuff". Thankyou and namaste.

I really love this & will do it often ... however it’s very rushed & would be much better if it were quite a bit slower. Thank you, namaste πŸ™πŸ»
