Feeling the natural rise and fall of your chest as it fills with and releases air. Feeling the air a little cool on your nose as you breathe in, and a bit warm on your nose as you breathe out.  Recognizing the small spaces of nothingness in between your breathes. PAUSE… I want you to see yourself as you are right now.  As if you’re standing just a few feet from where you are, observing yourself meditate.   Notice that there are little particles of sand softly swirling around your head.   These are your thoughts.  Your worries.  Your ideas.  And they’re just moving around you harmlessly, swirling in smooth patterns, waiting for you to call upon any one of them.  But there you sit amidst them all...calm.  Eyes closed.  Breathing.   Connected to yourself.  PAUSE… And then you notice that one of these grains of sand is significantly bigger than the rest.   It’s a rock.  It’s heavy.   And it’s interrupting the melodious pattern of the other grains of sand around you.  Take a deep breath in and bring your attention to that rock.   This rock is no longer serving you.   It’s interrupting your flow.   It’s weighing you down.  It may even be causing a bit of internal or external chaos.  Just notice this rock and how it is no longer in sync with your rhythm.   PAUSE… What does this rock represent to you? What is not working for your anymore?   A relationship?  A job or business? A limiting belief? A habit? What feels heavy and out of flow for you right now? Hold the vision of this answer in your mind as you look at the rock.  PAUSE… Take a deep breath in, filling your belly with air… And as you exhale, see yourself gently grabbing the rock and taking it away from the beautiful swirl of sand around you.   As you feel the intense weight of it in your hands, bring it to your chest, holding it close to your heart.  Bow your head and say a silent thank you for this rock.   Thank you for what it has been for you.  Thank you for who it has helped you become.  If there is any negativity there - resentment, anger, bitterness or fear - just recognize it and allow more gratitude to flood in. And then stretch your arms out in front of you as your hands open up with the rock… Close your eyes and whisper to yourself...I release you.   And watch as the rock fades into nothingness. PAUSE… Take a deep, cleansing breath in and feel your body hum with the lightness of gratitude. And as you exhale out, observe the physical and emotional space you have just opened up.  Now, start to wiggle your fingers and your toes, bringing yourself back to this present moment. And as you open your eyes, let yourself feel flooded with confidence and peace...knowing that letting go of what no longer serves you is a powerful act of self love.  Namaste, Beautiful  💗💗💗 Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors 💗💗💗 Check out all of our other podcasts at https://womensmeditationnetwork.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
