Let it GO Meditation
Settle into whatever position you’re in. Feel the settling in of your body.
Allow your body to be still.
Let your mind just notice what’s happening.
The feeling of stillness in your body is a resting place for your mind.
Notice how your body moves with your breath as you sit still. Breathe into this stillness. Breathe out from this stillness.
See if you can relax even more deeply as you breathe.
Although you might not be 100% comfortable, see if you can find a place in your mind where you can calmly observe your discomfort.
Allow yourself to get comfortable in your body.
Let your breath guide you through the rise and fall of your chest. Air flowing comfortably through your lungs gives you a sensation of awareness.
You are relaxed, but highly aware of your surroundings.
You do not strain. You do not struggle.
You give in to these sensations as your flowing breath guides you.
Allowing yourself to begin again at this moment.
You are aware of the way your breath holds you. This awareness might be directed towards an itch, a pain, or perhaps even mental discomfort.
See if you can just watch the relationship between your body and mind without judgment. Allow yourself to feel whatever comes up.
Practice relaxing the mind before making adjustments.
Notice how you might not be able to let go completely.
We all have the desire to hold on. Maybe fear of free fall tightens our grasp.
So, then, ask yourself gently, lovingly, “What am I afraid to let go of in my life?”
Whatever you are holding on to, maybe a worry about what’s to come, maybe you want your life to somehow to be different, maybe you want your child, partner, or peers to be different from who they really are.
Asking the question, “What am I really holding on to?”
Ask the question, “What would it feel like to let it go?”
Simply imagine what it would feel like to LET GO to what you’re holding on to.
Bring this feeling into the safe space of your breath.
Breathe normally or inhale for 3
Exhale for 6
Allow yourself to feel peace as you
LET IT GO
