Transcript

Welcome into this gentle meditation to allow life to lead rather than feeling as though we need to grip it and rather than feeling like we need to be in control. Trying to stay in control all the time can make us feel so stressed so anxious and sometimes we just think it's the only way but today we're going to soften together and we're going to ponder this idea of at times simply allowing life to lead us. This is your time to soften, Your time to rest and to remember that you do not need to have everything together. We can let life lead. So when you're ready finding a comfortable position and allowing yourself to gently close your eyes taking a deep breath as you do this a deep breath in through your nose and a long gentle sigh out through your mouth already that might feel so good to just take a breather to pause again a deep breath in through your nose allowing yourself to exhale fully out through your mouth and let your shoulders drop allow your chest to open and let the air move freely through you if you're finding yourself here you've perhaps been trying so hard to make things happen to hold the timing the people the plans but life already knows the way continuing to allow your body to breathe and if you feel you can starting to imagine that you're walking barefoot on a soft forest path the ground is cool beneath you the air calm and golden breathing and noticing that sunlight filters through the trees and you feel your body begin to match that same steady rhythm that slow alive and unhurried rhythm as you stand here watching the trees noticing that calm beautiful light you notice this feeling of not needing to rush just as the seasons do not rush you don't force a flower to bloom you trust that it will in its own time and you begin now to feel that same trust returning to your own life placing a hand on your heart and whispering softly inside i release control i trust the unfolding of my path breathe in light feeling it filling your chest your stomach your legs clearing tension clearing old stories this light moves for you you don't have to guide it you let life lead let it show you that rest is powerful that softness is strength and as you continue in this wonderful image in nature you imagine a gentle river nearby you dip your toe into the river and you feel how effortlessly the water flows there's nothing you need to do to make that water flow it's bigger than you there's a consciousness that is so much more than you and yet it is you as well you repeat quietly i let life lead i am guided what is meant for me finds me easily i am supported it is safe to trust it is as though you imagine someone else simply taking over but someone trusted nature itself life itself this feeling of delegating almost because i know you are done with carrying everything and everyone and pushing too hard delegate and out this all too big responsibility and you're over to life and trust taking time to breathe now in this image in this feeling i'll give you a few moments here so when you're ready just starting to allow that image to gently fade so noticing perhaps how your body is now feeling after practicing that meditation as you begin to become more aware of your body wiggling your fingers and toes bring some energy back to the body and in your own time blinking your eyes open seeing if you can go into the rest of your day your evening with this sense of i let life lead and just notice how that changes things for you how you don't completely feel as though you're not in control but you give up control and they're two different things i hope you found that really supportive at a time when you're pushing or doing too much or simply not trusting and come back to this whenever you need
