Letting Go Of The Day Meditation

Hello, beloveds,

Join me for today's meditation: letting go of the day.

Take some time to come back to yourself, to let go of all that has happened today, and all that is to come tomorrow.

Just you, here, now, nothing left to do.

Transcript

Hello dear ones and welcome to today's meditation. A meditation for letting go of the day. As you transition into sleep. Relaxation. And deep rest. If it feels comfortable for you. Taking a moment now to close your eyes. Acknowledging that you have arrived here. Now. Wherever you find yourself, Making yourself comfortable. If you are laid down, Maybe stretching out your limbs. Maybe a yawn wants to come. You have finished work for the day. Whatever needed to be done is done. Whatever was left undone. And wait for the light of tomorrow. If it feels good for you. Placing one hand on your heart. And one hand on your belly. Feel the physical presence of your body here. In this room. Noticing your breath. As it rises and falls. Now taking a deep breath in. Gathering up any lingering thoughts from the day. And as you exhale letting out a long audible sigh. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm and do this a few more times. And allowing your breath to return to its natural rhythm. Imagine you are sitting by a slow moving river in the twilight. This river represents the flow of time. Think of one thing that happened today that brought you a sense of pressure. See it as a small stone in your hand. Looking at it. Just acknowledge it. And then gently toss it into the river. Watch it sink. And then be carried away by the current. Now bring to mind a difficult conversation you might have had. Perhaps it feels incomplete in some way. See this conversation as a leaf. And now drop it into the water. Watch it spin and float out of sight. Think of a task you didn't finish. Or a worry you have about tomorrow. See it now as a piece of driftwood. Set it in the water. And let the river take the weight of it. One by one. Give the river everything from today. The joints, The frustrations. The busyness. The river is wide enough to hold it all. You are becoming lighter with every gift you give to the water. As the river carries the day away. Look at your hands. They are empty now. They are open. Now whisper to yourself. I did my best. With what I had today. And it was enough. Feeling a sense of gratitude for your body for carrying you through the day. And thank your mind. For its hard work today. Now. Give them both permission to rest. There is now a quiet space opening up inside you. It is dark. And infinitely peaceful. You are no longer a doer. You are no longer a thinker. You are simply right now. I believe her. Inhaling stillness. Exhaling, Release. Inhaling stillness. And exhaling, Release. The river is far away now. The sounds of the day. Are merely echoes. You are drifting. Into the soft velvet embrace of sleep. Save. Warm. Held. Released from today. Good night, Dear ones.
