Welcome to today's practice where we learn,
Surrender and trust the flow.
This meditation has currently been recorded along the beautiful Colombian Andes mountains next to a cascading river.
The cascading river here is known for its healing properties among the indigenous Colombian people.
So take some time to tune in to my voice and the endless flowing river.
Tune in to your breath,
The way it flows through you,
Feeling it move deep down your throat into your belly,
Feeling your whole body with oxygen as you let it go again.
And as you breathe,
Still focus on the sound of these healing waters and I want you to imagine yourself just floating on top of it,
Floating on top of these healing waters.
Take note on the way it feels on your body.
Is the water cool?
Is it warm?
How does it feel on the back of your neck,
Your head?
Just trusting its flow from where it will take you,
Allowing yourself just to float as the water guides you down and down the river,
Not knowing where it will go or where it will lead,
But just allowing it to guide you.
Many of us in life can fear not having control.
Many of us in life can fear losing control.
Life is filled with many things,
Many uncertainties,
Many things that are unknown,
Majority of our anxiety,
Our deep stress comes from this need to know,
This need to control.
And as you float down these ancient healing waters,
I want you just to bring some awareness to your day and to your week.
Bring some awareness to the stresses,
The anxieties.
We're not wanting to do anything,
But just be aware of it.
Maybe there was conflicts,
Maybe there was a fallout in a relationship or friendship,
And that's hard.
But now that we've brought our awareness to it,
I want you to allow the water to flow through you,
Flow through you around your body and just let it go.
We might not be able to let it go fully,
That's okay.
But as you breathe,
Allow this crystal clear ancient healing water to flow over your body and wash away all the anxieties,
All the tension in the body,
All the stresses of the week.
Allow the water to take everything away but the now,
Because if we were fully present,
Fully in the now,
No heavy emotion,
No sadness,
Anxiety,
Anger would even be allowed to exist in that moment because the present,
The now,
Is peace.
It is the peace of mind.
It is the presence of mind and the love of the mind,
Body and soul.
And as you float along the river,
Feeling your body releasing all of its tension through the breath into the water,
Allowing the water to take all of it away and heal your body.
Now I want you to think about your life,
The things that you have,
The things that you don't and I want you to imagine your life where anxiety didn't dictate your actions and self-worth,
Where comparison didn't exist,
Where fear was something that motivated you to become better,
To become stronger,
Where presence was something that was felt majority of the time,
Where grief was only something that reminded you that you had felt this fullness of love,
Where anger became your passion and drive,
Where we didn't have a need to control.
Imagining a life where you found certainty in the uncertainty.
Take a few moments to imagine a life where you could be in your full power,
Where you could fully align with your higher self,
Where you could be divine and unstoppable.
Take a few moments and feel into this power,
Feel into this part of yourself that you know you have.
Take a few moments,
Allow the waters to take you there,
To take you into the part of your mind where you can see a future that is filled with abundance.
Abundance of money,
Love,
Community,
Passion,
Creativity.
This is what is possible.
When we let go of this need to control,
This need to be right and trust the flow.
When we fully accept ourselves,
The good and the bad.
When we allow everything to flow through our lives.
And when we allow things to flow,
We are allowing things to come with ease.
When we let go of the need to struggle,
The need to prove ourselves,
The need to be something but ourselves.
The universe and the flow will align all our conscious wants and desires to come with ease.
Now I want you to take some time again,
But this time I want you to think of three words,
Three words that you want to embody through your week and through your day.
Three words that you want your DNA to be filled with.
I want you to think of these three words and in a moment we are going to take three big deep breaths.
And as you breathe in and out,
I want you to repeat this word like a mantra in your inner mind.
Starting with breath one,
Two,
And three.
Allowing your skin,
Bones,
And blood to embrace these words,
To absorb it like a sponge.
Because you are not your thoughts,
You are not your past,
You are not your expectations or others.
Because simply just being,
Being here floating through the water is enough.
And as we close this meditation,
I want to thank you for being here,
But thank you for being here for yourself,
For taking the time out of your day to nurture yourself,
To be there for yourself,
And to love yourself.
That there in all essence is growth.
That there in all essence is true self-love.
So take your time,
Start to move your body lightly.
Maybe give your ankles a roll,
Your shoulders a row.
Take your time to come back,
Have a glass of water,
And go out through your day trusting the flow and with love.
