This is Rev Rachel and welcome to Soul Recovery.
This guided meditation is around loving detachment.
Start by taking a few grounding deep breaths,
With the full release out of your mouth,
Slowing your body,
Slowing your mind.
Each breath a reminder to come back to yourself.
Each breath an opportunity to ground and center into this place right here,
Right now.
Feeling your breath filling your abdomen and your chest.
Each out-breath a complete release and letting go.
With your next in-breath move it into your heart space.
Completely filling your heart and every space around your heart with this brilliant light and energy of your breath,
Opening,
Cleansing,
Cleaning,
Clearing any debris that might be held in your heart,
Any sticky residue.
Each breath a cleansing,
Each out-breath a release,
A letting go.
Your heart space is filling with light and love.
This opportunity to turn within to come into our inner sanctuary of our heart,
Where there is only truth,
Compassion,
Gentleness and grace,
Where we step away from the outside world and turn to our true nature,
Our higher self.
Our souls are here on purpose to learn,
To grow,
To expand.
They've chosen you,
Your body,
Your being,
Your talents,
Your gifts.
Your soul chose you to be you exclusively and uniquely exactly who you are.
Your soul also chose the life situations,
The people that are involved in our life.
And on a soul level everything is as it should be.
We're here learning,
Remembering our wholeness.
When our human self gets caught and stuck in these relationships,
We become attached.
We are here to untether and untie those attachments,
To learn how to detach with love.
In your mind's eye,
Envision a string floating in the air,
The light dances from its filaments,
Free floating on the breeze,
This light beautiful string of your soul.
In each relationship,
Each interaction,
Each contact that we make with another,
Their string too connects to ours,
Sometimes in a knot,
Sometimes just slipping,
Sliding past it,
Just an interaction for a moment.
And it makes sense,
Of course,
That each of our souls,
Each of our filaments can become attached to others and create these webs,
These entangled snares,
When we believe that it's our job to fix others,
To change their circumstance,
To make them better,
To make it easier for them by making it harder on ourselves,
We become more entangled in their soul's journey.
We forget to mind our own journey.
We forget that we are here for our own experience.
We become enmeshed and entangled,
And it keeps us from our own freedom.
There is no judgment here,
There is no shame,
There is no guilt,
There is only awareness.
To see it,
To recognize it,
To understand that detachment is the greatest love that you can give,
To allow others to have their experience as you deserve to have your experience.
We each deserve freedom,
Freedom of choice,
Freedom of self,
Freedom for our soul to experience what it needs to do here.
And as you recognize this truth,
You can feel your filament unwinding,
Untethering,
Untangling from that web,
Seeing the beauty of the other,
Regardless of what it may look like in their circumstance.
Again breathing into your heart space,
Opening,
Opening to Source,
To the light and the energy that is the truth of who you are,
Who we all are,
Unique in our own individual experience.
And yet this connection that we have with the others is essential to our human awakening.
We mustn't do it alone,
But when we detach from love,
We allow our souls to be free,
To see it as it is,
In truth and awareness and kindness and grace,
Open to compassion and the release of energy and grievance that is forgiveness,
To truly let someone find their way no matter how difficult the path may be,
Allows them to be seen by you for who they are and their strength,
That they can handle it,
That they can persevere through it,
That if they so choose they can come out the other side,
Expanded,
Awakened,
Whole,
See them as whole,
See them in their strength,
To detach and to untether and untie your soul's filament,
Is to hand them to the universe with love.
And in this you are also handing yourself to the universe,
Trusting and knowing that you are held,
You are guided,
You are resourced,
That you can have faith that everything you need is available to you.
And you begin to stand in your own strength,
The awareness of your beautiful self,
Whole and holy.
As you breathe into your heart again,
Filling it with light,
Allow yourself to notice if there's any parts of your body that feel tight,
Constricted.
We hold our memories and our feelings in our body.
Your body is teaching us,
Telling us what we need to know,
As our emotions teach us and tell us,
As you untether and untie these binds,
Where do you feel it in your body?
Breathe into those spaces,
Offering love and light from your higher self.
Opening completely to the light source around you that is only love,
Unlimited love.
Feel it moving into those spaces that feel constricted,
That feel tight,
That feel constricted,
That feel tight,
That feel tight,
That feel tight,
That feel tight,
Feel it moving into those spaces that feel constricted,
Mending,
Healing,
Releasing.
As we untie these knots,
Our filament becomes whole and straight again,
Able to dance upon the waves of light and love,
Move freely,
Feel the sun shining on your face,
Feel the beauty of nature around you.
Watch that filament dance in the breeze,
Knowing that you are being guided and directed to stand in your fullest self.
We are all invited.
We are all invited to this beautiful truth,
That we are not separate from,
But part of,
That we are not separate from,
But part of the greatest creation,
The source of light and love and awakening,
Wholeness.
And as your filament of your soul dances in the breeze,
Notice those around you that without your entanglement on their soul,
They too have more space to learn,
To grow,
To expand.
And our expansion isn't always from only bliss,
It comes often from hardship.
Through difficulty we open and learn.
Through hardship we open and learn.
When we release our attachment to what we believe it should be,
We open to something even greater still,
Endless possibility.
What is yours?
What is calling you?
With this freedom that you now have,
This release,
What is calling you?
How can you step into your fullest self,
In this place of knowing and trust,
Faith that you are being guided to your highest good?
Every moment is a choice.
As you connect to Source,
Those choices may become even more clear,
As you listen to the still small voice within,
Whispers of awareness and hope and guidance and truth.
This is your true nature.
When we release these energetic bonds that have kept us tied and entangled with those around us,
The shifts are profound.
Your own healing is the greatest gift you can give the world.
Through your own awakening,
Through your own healing,
You offer hope and love and truth to everyone in your life.
I invite you to feel your filament free and untangled.
Dancing in the light of the sun,
Breathing into your heart,
And opening to possibility.
Divine Spirit,
Thank you.
Thank you for this reminder that you are always there for us,
That we are part of the great and incredible creation of life,
That we can trust this journey that we are here on,
That our souls are curious and open and ready to learn and grow,
That we have been given choice and we step into a co-creation that allows each experience to be one of expansion and growth.
And so it is.
Namaste.
