Rewriting The Story Meditation

Welcome.

Take a moment to find a comfortable position.

You might be seated or lying down.

Let your body settle.

Take a slow,

Gentle breath in through your nose and a long,

Easy exhale through your mouth.

Allow the day to soften around you.

Let your shoulders drop,

Your jaw relax and give yourself permission to pause.

Begin to notice the stories that live quietly beneath your thoughts.

The ones that whisper who you think you are or who you should be.

Maybe an old phrase surfaces,

One that's been looping for years.

Something you've carried without question.

Just notice it.

No judgement.

No need to fix.

Simply witnessing.

Now imagine holding that old story in your hands.

You can feel it's texture,

It's age,

It's weight.

It may have protected you once,

But maybe it's ready to be released.

Take a deep breath in and as you exhale,

Imagine loosening your grip.

See the story begin to fade.

The words dissolve like link in water.

Space opens where old narrative once lived.

With every exhale,

You release a little more of what no longer serves.

You're not erasing your past.

You're simply creating space for something new to grow.

Now invite a kinder sentence to take shape.

A truth that feels lighter,

More alive.

Maybe it begins with I am.

Maybe I can.

Maybe I'm learning to.

Let the words arise naturally.

Don't force them.

You'll know them by how your body responds.

A softening in the chest.

An ease in the breath.

Every time you choose this new story,

You loosen the hold of the old one.

You make space for possibility to grow.

Rewriting the story isn't about pretending.

It's about remembering who you already are beneath the noise.

Take a few slow,

Deep breaths here.

Inhaling the clarity and exhaling what's no longer needed.

Let your new truth settle into your heart.

A quiet promise to yourself.

Ask gently,

What's one old story I'm ready to release?

And what new truth am I planting in its place?

Stay here for a few more breaths.

Resting in openness.

Steady.

Hold.

When you're ready,

Bring a little movement to your fingers and toes.

Maybe a little stretch.

Come back softly.

Carrying your new truth with you.

You've rewritten your story with kindness,

With awareness and with permission to pause.

Thank you for sharing your practice with me today.
