This guided meditation invites you into a gentle rhythm of breath, release, and grounding. Through conscious breathing, visualisation, and presence, we soften what no longer serves and create sacred inner space to receive what is ready to emerge. There is nothing to fix or force here—only an invitation to let go, settle into the body, and remember that release is a natural act of intelligence and grace.

Closing thought on this is to receive we must first release.

To receive we must first release.

And so with that in mind I invite you to take a few moments together here in this space.

Share in some meditation time.

Take some slow gentle breaths here with me.

Some slow gentle breaths in.

Letting go.

Feeling the breath.

Feeling the presence.

Inhale life.

Exhale release.

Allowing this breath,

This inhale of life,

To move easily through you.

And then to exhale release.

Yeah I'm letting go.

I release anything and everything that no longer serves my unfolding good.

There's nothing you need to do right now.

You don't need to make anything happen here.

Just breathe.

Just breathe and breathe and breathe.

Breathing in life.

Exhaling release.

And if you're comfortable you can close your eyes if you haven't already.

And I invite you to bring your attention,

Bring your thoughts,

Your imagination into your lower abdomen.

The sacred center of the power of release.

Yeah the color of release is the russet brown.

And so imagine that there's this glow of light,

This warmth,

This soothing light becoming.

It's beginning to glow.

It's earthy.

It's grounded.

It's steady.

It's intelligent.

It knows what to do.

Moves through you as divine intelligence.

Cleansing and renewing your body,

Your mind,

This light,

This beautiful russet colored light that feels so connected to Mother Earth.

You can think of it as grounding and it's glowing inside,

Moving through with intelligence.

Cleansing and renewing your body,

Your mind,

Your soul with every exhale more is let go of.

Notice if there's any tension in your body.

You can let that go with your breath.

Notice if there's any thoughts right now that are percolating.

You can let that go with your breath.

Maybe there's some notions of I should or could or someday.

Breathe in and exhale that out.

Let that go with your breath.

This healing intelligent light moving through you,

Cleansing you,

Letting go of anything and everything that no longer serves your unfolding good.

Now feel the rhythm of your breathing.

Bring your attention to the inhale and the exhale,

The rhythm,

The sacred exchange of life,

The breathing in,

The breathing out.

With each breath in you receive life.

With each breath out you make space for more of that life.

Feel the rise and fall of your abdomen.

Place your hand on your abdomen and breathe in through your nose into that space and now breathe in real deep.

Hold it,

Hold it and now as you let go feel the power of that exhale.

How good it feels to release.

You don't have to think your way in to release.

You can just allow.

Now in this moment again affirm I release anything and everything that no longer serves my unfolding good.

I am open.

I am free.

I am and now in this moment whatever comes to your mind with this question,

One thing,

One thing that is inviting you to let go of,

One thing pops into your mind right now that you can release.

One thing.

Don't analyze it,

Just notice it and breathe in.

With your next exhale let it go.

Imagine it's softening,

Dissolving.

Imagine it returning to light.

Just letting it go.

It's okay.

It doesn't have to feel weighted.

We don't have to feel bad.

We don't have to punish ourselves for it.

We can just let it go.

Thank you.

Thank you for being here.

Thank you.

No longer serves.

It's okay.

It's really okay.

It's just returning to light.

And that space that's left behind is holy space.

It's open.

It's clear.

It's ready to receive divine ideas.

So let's take a moment here to feel gratitude.

Place that hand back on your belly,

Your abdomen,

Feeling the breath.

Hand on your heart space.

Just breathing,

Feeling that breath in and out.

Your hands together rising and falling.

Feeling this gratitude for knowing that we can let go.

Gratitude for release.

Gratitude for softening.

Gratitude for forgiveness.

Gratitude for surrender.

Gratitude for one another for being here.

You can let your hands down now.

Bring a gentle smile to your face.

Thank you everybody for being here.

As you're ready,

You can open your eyes.

And when your eyes are open,

Just take a nice deep breath in.

Yeah,

Let that go.

Ah,

Feel the lightness of that.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for.

Thank you so much for this space to heal,

To love,

To appreciate,

To surrender,

To forgive,

To be in community.

Thank you for your presence,

Your gift,

Your intelligence,

Your spiritualness.

Thank you for your loving,

Expanding openness.

Thank you for your heart,

Your truth,

Your wisdom.

It's not lost on me,

Your greatness.

I so feel it.

I'm in,

I'm in awe of your greatness.

Namaste.

A gentle balm for my soul. When the world (both inner and outer) feels like it is collapsing, this meditation was all that was needed to remind me that breath is truly an anchor. Thank you for spilling your light in the world, Thomas.
