Hi,
My name is Hiro and this is a practice on letting go.
In this practice you are invited to find openness,
To grief and sadness and to find resources inside yourself and kindness for self and others.
Find a position that is comfortable and that supports you,
Not that if you want to adjust this position you are welcome to do so.
You are invited to listen to my words and if they are helpful to see what it's like to let them enter in your experience.
Now maybe close your eyes if that feels available or feel free to let them rest in soft gaze.
Bring now your attention to the breath.
Letting the breath happen and noticing where in the body you feel it the most.
Abdomen,
Nostrils,
Chest.
From here let yourself connect with a sense of loss,
Sorrow or grief that you might have experienced or are experiencing.
You might have experienced loss in different ways,
Maybe loss of structure in your life or of connection,
Loss of your health or maybe even loss of a dear one.
You will be offered some words to touch upon grief.
Allow yourself to notice what arises for you.
See what it is like to say,
May I be open to grief.
Notice what comes up without grasping or aversion.
May I be open to grief.
May I be with my sadness,
Feeling that I am not my sadness.
Notice what comes up without resistance or judgment.
May I be with my sadness,
Feeling that I am not my sadness.
Gently touch into it and see what it is like to become familiar with it.
May I find inside of me the resources to be with my sorrow.
May I find inside of me the resources to be with my sorrow.
May I remain open for myself and for others in the experience of grief.
May I connect with kindness of others in the experience of grief.
May I connect with kindness of others in the experience of grief.
And as we slowly come to completion,
May we all embrace,
Learn and transform this experience of sorrow.
May we all embrace,
Learn from and transform this experience of sorrow.
Give yourself some time to create space for these words,
Noticing thoughts if they emerge and not grasping onto them.
Letting yourself feel what you're feeling,
Knowing that grief is human.
As the practice comes to its completion,
Let your eyes blink open if they were closed,
Finding the room you're in.
Give yourself the time to find the breath again and if you would like,
Find some ways to stretch your body.
Wishing you well gently moving through your sorrow and grief and allowing the possibility for something new.
Thank you for taking part in this practice on letting go.
