Very helpful! Thank you!❤

This is more of a talk best experienced within the light meditative state which is guided in/out of to bookend the recording. While my situation isn't exactly the type of situation described (it being almost entirely inwardly-driven), I found some extremely valuable insights and determined how best to break free and move forward in a more positive, self-affirming way.

In my situation, a loved one recently passed away, and while I am acting in accordance with her stated-to-my-face wishes, I have been feeling very rushed to take the necessary action to accomplish those wishes. I also feel I am being disrespectful in moving so quickly, though the process is being driven my external agencies and timelines dealing with the estate. Additionally, I do have some guilt and concern over my sense of relief that my own situation is improving as a result of her death (which is something she explicitly wanted to ensure would be the outcome, looking out for me as best she could manage), and that others may see my actions as somehow selfish.

The entire family knows her wishes and support them, and none think these things running through my mind. My family is actually in part the driving force behind this now, to ensure her wishes are carried out quickly and as she intended. I still feel rushed and somehow guilty and disrespectful - too early. Even though she herself was manifestly pragmatic and would tell me to get over it and not to worry about it because it's not like she would be around to care either way. (Our discussion over her disposition after her death was basically exactly as above.)

With all that said, this practice allowed me to finally identify my core feelings on this matter and determine what to do about them so I can continue to move forward. The memorial service is more than a week away still, but I have some of the administrative paperwork to complete later this morning.

So to move forward with an open heart and a clear mind, I will take some extra time beforehand to light a candle in her memory and speak my own respects and have a private memorial of my own. I very much feel this will help me move forward, largely free of my current concerns, and allowing myself to experience self-forgiveness as well as personal agency for positive change.

Though this was not what I would consider a traditional meditation, being in that lighter meditative space allowed the spoken words of guidance to penetrate more deeply and the course of action to become much clearer and much more swiftly than it otherwise might. Very helpful and effective.
