So get into a comfortable position.

If you're lying down let your whole body relax and become comfy.

Allow your arms to relax down by your side.

If you're sitting then relax your hands on your lap or at your side and your feet apart and settled on the floor.

Now close your eyes.

This is your time now so leave all your worries at the door.

Allow yourself to relax into the flow of the moment.

There is only right here,

Right now.

Begin to tell your body to relax.

Let your feet and legs soften into position.

Drop your shoulders,

Relax your hands and allow your full body to soften down and relax into a natural position.

Take a deep cleansing breath in and let it flow out again.

Breathing out the tension in your body.

Allow your breathing to fall into its own natural rhythm.

Not trying to control it in any way.

Keep your awareness to your breath.

Notice the cool sensation as it goes in through your nose,

Down the back of your throat and into your lungs.

Then notice it as it leaves again back down through your throat and nose.

Let your breathing fall into its natural rhythm.

Just observe it as it moves in and out.

In and out.

Acknowledge any random thoughts that come into your mind and let them go.

As you bring your attention back to your breathing,

In and out.

Just observe it as it moves in and out.

Watching your natural breathing rhythm.

If thoughts intrude,

Just acknowledge them,

Then allow them to flow on past and return your attention to your breathing.

Now as you inhale,

Feel yourself breathing in relaxation.

As you exhale,

Feel yourself breathe out tension.

Breathing in relaxation.

Breathing out tension.

With every in-breath,

You breathe in relaxation.

With every out-breath,

Your shoulders drop and your body relaxes.

The meditation begins with simply being aware of your body and the tension you may be holding onto physically.

Be aware of your straight spine and your deep inner strength that holds you upright.

Let your mind travel up your body from your feet towards your head.

Pausing to let go of tension where you feel it and especially in the areas of your hips,

Belly,

Heart,

Throat,

Shoulders and forehead.

When you have let go of this physical tension in your skeleton and muscles,

Notice that inner rod of strength that holds you upright as your body is relaxed and at ease.

And from this state of ease,

Ask yourself the question,

What can I let go of right now?

Pause and listen to what comes up without judgement.

And ask again,

What do I need to let go of in this moment?

And go further by asking,

And what else?

Listen and feel the clues your body gives you.

Feel into an area of old injury,

Are you willing to let go of protecting this area?

Notice your belly,

Are you willing to let go of eating habits and patterns that are not serving you?

In the heart,

Are you willing to let go of past hurts done to you or by you?

And connect with the area around your throat,

Are you willing to let go of the restrictions and beliefs that are holding you back from sharing your message?

Think of a person,

Situation or experience that you wish to let go of or cut off from or forgive.

And think of your reasons for letting this person or issue to leave your life.

It may be because the person or situation harms your wellbeing or causes you to feel negative emotions.

Or simply because it is time to let go of the situation once and for all.

And let yourself feel all the emotions attached to this situation and the person.

Now bring your attention to your solar plexus,

Your stomach area.

And visualize a fine silvery cord that reaches from your solar plexus to their solar plexus.

The silver cord that creates the link,

The attachment to each other.

And see it radiate and pulsate as it feeds the energy connection.

Every time you even think about this situation or person,

The link between you is being strengthened.

Now imagine that you have a big pair of golden scissors in your hands.

And visualize yourself cutting through this energy cord with the scissors.

If it does not cut through the first time,

Do it again with emotional strength behind it.

Detaching yourself,

Dissolving the connection.

And feel the release around your solar plexus.

I want you to pull any remaining energy back into your solar plexus.

Cover and seal it with yellow light.

Telling yourself,

I bring all my energy back to me.

You are safe and protected.

You hold your own power with love.

Everything that you let go of served you in the past.

Collectively gather them in your hands.

Thank them and release them with love.

Let yourself now be aware of any feelings of heaviness left over.

In your body or energy field or emotional.

Visualize yourself under a gentle waterfall or shower of silver light.

And let this light pour over you.

Through you and out through your hands and feet.

Clearing and cleansing your energy field of any negative residue.

Now bring your attention to your chest area.

Here you can see a little green light.

The emerald green of the heart chakra.

As you breathe into your heart,

Letting it soften with each breath.

Allow the green light to expand.

To get brighter.

To gently swirl in your chest.

And as you breathe out,

Let go of any tension in your heart.

Allow it all to leave your heart with every out breath.

Release any negative emotions from your heart center that have been wearing you down.

Allow yourself to feel these emotions as they leave your body.

Feel the pain and let it go with each out breath.

Release all pain,

Unforgiveness,

Anger,

Grief,

Self-loathing,

Loss and regret.

It is natural to feel these emotions and it is healthy to feel them deeply.

Then let them go.

Allow it all to leave the heart center to make space for love.

As you let go of the past,

You realize that there is no mistakes,

Only lessons and growth as you move forward.

Continuous cycles of learning and growing.

Situations and people entering your life and leaving again when the purpose is served.

Everyone we meet is for a reason,

A blessing or a lesson.

And everything is happening in the right way at the right time.

And just as the body needs time to heal from an illness,

The heart and soul also need time to heal from hurt,

Pain and anger,

A gradual process of growing and healing.

For now,

In this moment of time,

Let go of any hurt in your heart.

Make room to invite in another little bit of peace and healing.

New and beautiful people and situations.

Now bring your attention back to your heart chakra,

Gently swirling,

Ready to invite in some beautiful green light the color of spring.

And bathe your heart chakra with nourishment,

Renewal and healing.

Fill up your heart center with the green light,

Allowing it to heal you with every in breath.

The green glow brings you deep love,

Compassion and balance.

As you breathe in,

Allow it to fill up your whole chest area.

You are loved,

You are free,

You are back to center.

This is the chakra of love for yourself and others.

Let it glow,

Bringing gifts of compassion,

Self acceptance and the ability to love deeply.

Let it fill you with gratitude for this opportunity to live in this beautiful world.

Fill your heart swell with compassion and forgiveness for yourself and others.

With every in breath,

Allow this wonderful light to fill your heart and radiate through your body,

Filling every little space,

Healing every cell that it fills.

Let the light fill your heart and body until it's overflowing,

Until you have more than you need.

Until you can spread your light and love back out again with the world,

Drawing it in through your heart chakra and letting it flow back out in a beautiful cycle.

And spend a few moments allowing yourself to breathe in the healing light,

Dissolving all those negative feelings.

Notice again the feeling in your body of lightness,

Ease and rest and trust that you can keep this feeling of ease as you pursue your dreams.

And gently bringing your hands to your heart,

Honoring yourself and take one last deep breath in and release it as you let go.

Namaste.
