You are listening to a meditation from Sound Science Soul.
This meditation and wisdom is based on the book The Four Agreements.
A book of Toltec wisdom detailing the self-limiting beliefs that create needless suffering.
The book introduces a powerful way of life that can transform your life and help you find freedom,
Happiness,
And love.
As the book explains everything in existence is God or creation.
You are merely light perceiving light.
Everything is a mirror reflecting light and images of that light.
A world of illusion is like smoke that doesn't allow you to see the real you that is pure love,
Pure light.
Life is only one big dream.
You are born into the dream and taught how to dream the same dream as the generations before you.
With the same values you are told what to believe,
How to behave,
What is right or wrong,
Good or bad.
You learn everything you believe.
You do what others want or expect of you in order to receive the reward of acceptance or love.
Because of the fear of punishment or rejection.
Most of your beliefs are lies and you suffer because you believe them.
Your fear controls the dream.
Our biggest fear as humanity is being alive,
Being ourselves,
And expressing what we really are.
If you want to live a joy filled life you have to break free of these fear based agreements,
Claim your personal power,
And make agreements that come out of love.
By living these four new agreements you can change your old beliefs,
Break free of living from fear and living joy in the world.
Let's begin.
Sit comfortably,
Eyes closed or softly focused on an object directly in front of you.
You can sit cross legged or in a chair or even lie down.
Whatever is most comfortable for you.
Breathe.
Focus on your breath and the sensation of being alive.
The breath ties the soul to the body.
Notice your breath as it moves in and out.
Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Slowing down your breath and paying attention to its rhythm.
Intentionally take a few breaths in through the nose filling your lungs to capacity.
Release the breath slowly,
Steadily and completely through the mouth.
A steady stream of air passing through your lips.
Feel your body relax as you do so.
Breathe in again through the nose,
Holding for a second or so.
Release the breath completely through the mouth.
At this point you can continue to take more breaths in the same way or just naturally breathe while paying attention to the breath.
Try to completely relax your body.
Bring yourself into the present moment.
The first agreement is be impeccable with your word.
Words have power.
This means to speak with integrity,
To say what you mean.
Do not use the word to speak against yourself or others,
Including gossiping about others.
In using the power of words against yourself,
You betray yourself.
Use the power of words for truth and love.
Thinking of this agreement,
Say after me or just listen to my word.
I speak with integrity.
I speak my truth.
I say what I mean.
I don't use my words to speak against myself or others.
I choose my words carefully.
I never betray myself.
I use the power of words for truth and love.
I use my words to create beauty.
I only use my word for the greatest good of all,
Including my own good.
My words are seeds or what I want to create.
I am impeccable with my word.
The second agreement is don't take anything personally.
This means a realization that nothing others do is because of you.
Yet what others say or do is a projection of their own reality,
The dream they live.
When you are immune to what others do,
You aren't the victim of needless suffering.
Thinking of this agreement,
Repeat after me or just listen to my word.
I live my life to please myself.
I have the freedom to express myself as is.
I no longer live in fear of being judged by others.
I no longer feel the need to control anyone and no one controls me.
Nothing others do is because of me.
When faced with others' actions,
I don't judge my feelings.
I allow them and say to myself,
It's not personal.
Taking nothing personal frees me from needless suffering.
I don't need to trust in what others say or do.
I only need to trust myself.
I'm not responsible for the actions of others.
I'm only responsible for myself.
I am immune to the actions and opinions of others.
I easily forgive and let go of judgments.
I no longer fear judgment.
I no longer fear rejection.
I don't need to be accepted.
I love myself just the way I am.
I don't need to be right or make anyone wrong.
I don't need to suffer.
I choose happiness.
I don't take anything personally.
The third agreement is don't make assumptions.
This means to be courageous enough to ask questions and to express your wants and desires.
This means to communicate with others clearly to avoid misunderstandings,
Drama and emotional pain.
Thinking of this agreement,
Say after me or just listen to my words.
I communicate my needs and feelings clearly.
I ask questions instead of jumping to conclusions.
I live authentically.
My assumptions are not truth.
I explore life with curiosity.
I know everyone is doing their best.
I have the courage to ask questions.
Expressing my needs and desires minimizes unnecessary suffering,
Trauma and misunderstanding.
I am safe to express what I want or need.
I am safe to be exactly who I am.
Clear communication only improves my relationships.
I don't make assumptions.
The fourth agreement is always do your best.
This means your best in this moment as it will change.
Your best will change when you are sick versus well.
But if you always do your best,
You avoid self-judgment,
Regret and self-abuse.
Thinking of this agreement,
Repeat after me or just listen to my words.
I am perfect as is.
My best is enough.
Even when it's not perfect.
Even when I'm sick or tired.
My best varies and that's okay.
I take action to express who I am,
What I want,
What I desire.
I simply do my best and avoid self-judgment,
Self-abuse and regret.
I do my best to speak my truth and be impeccable with my word.
I do my best to not take things personally,
Knowing it's about them,
Not me.
I do my best not to assume.
I know what other people are thinking or feeling.
I always do my best.
I do my best to be myself.
I do my best to be myself.
Thank you for this life,
For the opportunity to experience this world,
For the body in which I am housed in,
For the mind that allows me to create,
For my radiant light,
For the ability to love.
Help me to love myself fully,
Accept myself fully,
And to love all of creation.
Help me to accept others as is,
Without judgment or a need to punish.
Help me to love myself and all just the way we are.
You are loved,
You are whole,
And you are worthy.
