Welcome to this meditation. This meditation will help you let go of energy, Emotions, And burdens that do not belong to you. Make sure you're sitting comfortably. Take a deep breath in, Exhaling any tension. Visualize yourself standing in a beautiful field, Open and safe. Imagine whatever you want in this beautiful field, Flowers, Grass, Animals, Whatever feels open and safe to you. Now, Imagine that you are holding a backpack. This backpack contains all of the emotions, All of the worries, And all of the energies that you have been carrying for others. Notice how heavy it is. Notice how it feels on your back or in your hands, Wherever you're carrying it. Feel the weight of emotions, Worries, And energies that have nothing to do with you, But that you have been caring for others. With love and compassion, Open this backpack and begin removing items. They may be shapes, Colors, Objects, Without any judgment, Simply notice what they look like. They each represent something that is not yours. As you pull them out and notice them, Place them gently on the ground. Take a deep breath in and out. Continue removing items that you know carry emotions, Worries, And energies that are not yours to carry. And in this beautiful field where you feel open and safe, You will call on the earth to absorb and transmute these objects. Watch as the soil opens, Lovingly taking in these burdens and transforming them into light. It isn't yours to deal with. The earth simply opens, Takes them in, And releases you of these burdens. The earth doesn't give these burdens back to who they belong. They are simply transformed into light, Which means that everyone is released from their weight. With each object that the soil lovingly takes in, Feel yourself getting lighter. Feel how your body can shift differently. Wiggle your toes, Take a deep breath, And notice that you have let this weight down and it is no longer on your person. Feel yourself getting lighter with every release. And whisper to yourself, I return what is not mine with love. I reclaim my own energy. When the bag is empty, See it dissolve into light, So not even the backpack is left. Everything has been dissolved, Absorbed, Taken in, And transformed into light. Feel your own pure energy surrounding you. Lay down in the field, Whether it's whole grass or you're surrounded by flowers. Feel the earth supporting you. Look up into a sky that is full of stars and know that all of those burdens no longer exist. In the vast universe that you're now looking at, All of the stars, The bigness of it all, Know that you are lying here with your own pure energy surrounding you and with the universe supporting you. Take a final deep breath, Feeling clear, Spacious, And free. And affirm to yourself, I am responsible only for my own energy. I let go of what is not mine. I am responsible only for my own energy. I let go of what is not mine. Take a deep breath in, And when you're ready, Gently return to your present awareness.
