Transcript

This is a gentle guided visualization process for healing and recovering from a painful divorce.

So you can use this once or many times throughout the journey and this can be years after a divorce.

Healing is always a beautiful opportunity to go deeper or this can be used in the midst of the process.

So there's no right or wrong time for this visualization.

It's simply an embodied practice that you can return to over and over as you build your life moving forward from here.

Before we begin,

Make sure that you have a comfortable space where you won't be interrupted.

And I also invite you to bring in any items that you are connected or have an attachment with to that wedding ceremony or to your recent partner.

This could be your ring,

This could be a photo,

Something that symbolizes the wedding and your marriage.

So if you need to,

I encourage you to pause and grab that item and bring it back into your space.

It just helps to have something tangible to use during this process.

So when you have your item and you're ready to begin,

I invite you to find a comfortable position.

Begin to take a few deep breaths in through your nose and out through your nose.

Breathing every inhale and exhale,

Feeling your belly rise and fall.

Begin by placing one hand on your heart and one hand on your belly.

Feel your breath move in and out.

Continue to keep your hands there,

Providing you with a sense of feeling connected to your body and to your heart.

Each breath roots you a little bit more in this present moment without your awareness going anywhere else except to your breath.

When you feel centered,

I invite you to call to mind what drew you to marriage and to love in the first place.

Maybe it brings back painful memories now.

That's okay.

Witness what it was,

Whether it was love,

Obligation,

Desire.

And notice if you're tense anywhere in your physical space,

Return to your breath in through the nose and out through the nose.

Checking in,

Seeing if you can breathe through any tension that's coming up or any resistance that you're feeling in your heart or in your body.

Use that initial desire as an anchor point for the journey we are about to take.

Maybe the word was love.

Maybe the word was benefit.

Maybe the word was arrangement.

Maybe the word was mutually beneficial.

Maybe the word was necessity.

Whatever your word is,

Bring it with you as we move forward.

If you haven't done so already,

You can release your hands,

Palms face up,

Paying attention to your breath.

Begin to visualize that you are standing at the edge of the ocean.

Your feet dig down into soft,

Warm sand that gives way underneath your feet.

You hear the sound of the waves slowly rolling in towards you and then receding back to sea.

A slight breeze whispers around your shoulders as the sun shines down.

You can even smell the salt and the air and hear the sound of seagulls in the distance.

Bring the ocean to mind as vividly as possible,

Imagining any other details that help you feel more present in that scene.

As you gaze out at the beautiful ocean,

You notice the sun is beginning to make her final descent into the west,

The direction of endings,

The direction of closure,

The direction of letting go,

And it's going to be a beautiful sunset.

You look down and notice that you are wearing something or that you have an object from your wedding day.

This could be the object you brought with you to this meditation.

It could be something symbolic,

Perhaps the vows you exchanged,

A family heirloom.

Whatever it is,

Observe it gently and begin to make your way into the shallow water.

You feel the water rushing up around your ankles and you go even deeper.

The water tickles up towards your knees and you keep walking.

The water swirls around you and rises up towards your legs and you look down to find that you are holding that object that symbolizes your marriage.

The day you said,

I do,

The day you committed to have and to hold in sickness and in health for better or for worse,

Till death do you part.

That ache,

That wound is all held in the object that you are now holding in your hands,

Ready to release to the ocean.

What is it that you want to say in memory of that day or that chapter of your life?

Is it possible to find gratitude for what drew you to that commitment in the first place?

Is there a silver lining that you can take with you moving forward to make peace with the past?

It is time to release the painful memories and the heavy burden,

The heartache and the sadness of a dream that is no longer.

It's time to let it go so that you can travel more lightly and with more peace and an open heart bravely and boldly into your future.

Take a few breaths to speak to the setting sun and to the ocean and to the object you now hold in your hands to say what it is you need to say.

When you are ready,

Slowly with love and care,

Release that object to the ocean before you.

Like a sacred offering,

You bend down and place it in the water where the next wave comes and takes it away from you.

You feel a lightness begin to emanate from your heart and in your body for no longer carrying something that does not serve you anymore.

The object is taken out to sea and the sun begins to set in the west,

Lighting up the sky,

Giving you the promise of a new day and a new beginning.

To mark the start of this new,

Beautiful decision to let go and to heal,

I invite you to wade further into the ocean's water.

Imagine feeling it rise up to your hips.

Feel the wet sand underneath your toes.

Walk out until it reaches your chest.

The waves gently caressing you,

Moving your body with their current.

When you are ready,

Like a baptism,

Take a deep breath in and visualize dunking your head under the water.

Come up gasping for air for new life.

Take a moment to feel alive and vibrant,

Renewed by the action that you have taken today to release.

Bringing both hands to your heart,

Ask what is it that you are calling in instead?

Is it time to forgive?

Is it time to surrender?

To let go?

To move on?

Is it time to choose you now?

To dream new dreams?

Feeling that love that's in your heart,

Call in your new intention and feel it settle around you,

Like a warm blanket wrapping around your shoulders,

Making its way into your heart space.

Taking a moment to acknowledge and to celebrate the courage and the strength that you have to be here and to heal.

To be brave enough not to carry the pain of the past and to be brave enough to face the dawn of a new day and what a beautiful day it will be.

Bringing your awareness back to your breath,

This time take a big deep breath in through your nose.

Exhale audible open mouth release.

Let something go.

If it feels good,

Do it two more times.

Taking a moment is to honor the stillness,

The space,

And the lightness that you have created.

May you travel light and free into the direction of your dreams.

Blessings on your journey.

Namaste.

Very helpful. I definitely found this effective thank you ❤️🙏🏼

This was incredibly powerful and at the same time painful. I will need to do this meditation many times as it is incredibly difficult for me to let go even though I know I need to move on. Thank you for this beautiful visualization.

Beautiful and soothing to my battered mind and heart. Thank you 💜🙏🏽

You helped me. Thank you.

I will listen to this many times. It has helped me ground. Thank you.

I’m releasing, saying “sure”
It wasn’t a yes. It wasn’t. No. But it wasn’t a yes. I know my worth now and abuse isn’t it.

Thanks so much 🥹

This track invites such insightful reflection and is deeply supportive of the understanding that is needed in order to let go. Thank you.

Lovely 🥰

That was beautiful 🙏. Even after two years I encountered something I hadn’t realised was there: Shame about not keeping my vows. Helpful to realise. And a beautiful, emotional overall meditation. Thank you 🙏

I'm early in the process. Every path to this point has plenty of pain for both partners. I appreciate this peaceful pause, a way and a place for one of many acts of letting go. Thanks for this.

Beautifully healing. I will be listening to this again and again. Thank you for these soothing words and practice.
