Releasing Old Identity - Guided Soul Journey

Closing your eyes,

You want palms face up,

Feet on the floor for this kind of meditation.

You want the energy to be able to ground all the way through you into the earth.

As you close your eyes you can take the tip of your tongue and place it up on the roof of your mouth,

Taking three deep breaths in this way,

Breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.

Relaxing the body will start with the feet and work up to the head.

I'll say out loud for each part of the body to relax three times.

You can place your awareness into that part of the body that you're talking to and you want to speak this out loud either speaking it softly or whispering to yourself,

Talking to your own body and telling it to relax.

Focusing on your crown chakra at the top of your head.

Opening your crown and receiving the light.

Allowing the light however you understand the light from source,

From the universe,

From God,

Goddess,

Whatever you call that source of light.

Allow that light to flow in through your crown at the top of your head.

The crown chakra points upward into the universe.

Open your crown and receive the light.

Let it flow down into your crown.

Let it fill up your body and let it flow down.

Let it overflow through you into the earth.

Focusing on your crown,

Receiving the light,

Letting it fill up and overflow through your body down into the earth.

The light is universal.

The light is in all things and everywhere.

Through your own imagination,

Intent and visualization,

Imagine yourself receiving the light like sunlight through your crown.

Letting it fill you and letting it flow down into the earth.

The light is the intelligence of infinite spirit.

The infinite consciousness,

Intelligence and spiritual energy of the universe and beyond.

The light comes from God,

Whatever you call God,

And returns to that source as well.

The light is and has its own purpose,

Which is itself,

And you are part of that purpose.

Let the light flow through you.

As the light flows through you,

Do not let yourself be deceived by those who claim that their religion or belief only has the light.

The light is found everywhere,

Is always available.

You only have to call on the light by whatever name you call it to come in and fill you.

This takes a certain faith and belief,

But it is not an intellectual belief.

It is an experience,

An intention,

An awareness of the possibility to receive,

To access,

To be one with the light.

The original impulse of all religions,

All faiths,

Is to have direct experience of the light.

Allow the light to fill your crown,

To fill your body,

Fill your entire being,

And flow down through you into the earth,

Focusing on the light,

Letting it fill you,

Letting it rush down like a waterfall through your crown and through your body into the earth.

Any areas of tension that you sense in your body as you allow the light,

As you call the light to flow through you,

Place those areas of tension,

Darkness,

Or heaviness into the light and let those areas of tension,

Darkness,

Or heaviness be dissolved into the light.

Let them break apart like chunks of ice on a thawing river in the spring and let them be carried downstream to the ocean,

Carried down into the earth.

Let the light flow through you,

Any attachments or ideas or concepts in your mind,

Any mind chatter that comes up,

Place that as well into the light and let it be dissolved.

This gives your monkey mind something to do.

Placing your thoughts,

Whatever arises in your mind,

Place it into the light,

Place it into that waterfall of light flowing through you,

And let it be dissolved down into the earth,

Let that thought be dissolved in that river of light.

Any emotional attachments to people,

To experiences that arise in your awareness,

Place those attachments,

Those stuck emotions,

Place those into this waterfall,

This river of light as well,

And let those also be dissolved down into the earth.

Let the light flow through you cleanly and unimpeded by physical tension,

Emotions,

Or mind.

Place all of these sensations,

Emotions,

And thoughts place them all into this river or waterfall of light and let them all be dissolved down into the earth.

Good Let that flow of light continue through your mind,

Through your emotions,

Through your body like a huge waterfall.

Let it expand outward around you until it fills the space around you as well,

Moving out into your aura.

You're surrounded in this waterfall of light,

Focused and centered around your central core,

Washing into you through your crown chakra and down into the earth and flowing around you as well,

Flowing around your body through your aura down into the earth.

As the light cleanses,

Clears and heals,

Breathe and let it work through you more and more deeply.

The theme for our meditation tonight is releasing old identity,

Shutting and clearing away who we think we are or who we know ourselves to have been so we can create space for a new version of ourselves,

A rebirth into a new identity,

A new sense of self,

A new presence and awareness.

This requires humility,

Emptiness,

A willingness to receive that which is unknown.

The attitude sometimes referred to as a beginner's mind,

Or the fool at the beginning of the hero's journey,

Who is ready to step off the precipice into the unknown.

In your mind's eye,

With your eyes still closed,

Imagine you could look down at your own hands in your lap.

Imagine that in your hands you are holding stories,

You are holding experiences.

These are your stories,

Your experiences.

Notice how heavy or how light this burden of stories or experiences is as it rests in your hands.

Imagine yourself holding all of the experiences that you are ready to resolve and release tonight during this meditation.

Maybe there is a lot here,

Maybe just some,

But sense the weight and the reality of these memories,

Stories and experiences.

Notice what some of them are.

See them flowing through your hands like an old Rolodex or a slide projector with different images,

Different sensations and feelings.

Maybe some of them good,

Maybe some of them not so good,

But all of them old.

All of them share one thing in common.

You are ready to let them go and they are no longer needed to define your identity.

As your awareness increases,

The feeling and sensation of these old identities begin to flow through them with your awareness.

As though you could brush your awareness over all of these experiences,

All of these stories.

Notice the themes.

What has been gathered through these experiences in your life?

What are these experiences?

Trust that you know.

There will be one,

Two,

Maybe three or even four themes,

Perhaps just one for some of you.

What are these experiences about?

What is it that you have learned?

See the characters involved,

The actors on the stage called your life in your movie that you cast and directed,

Who played what roles,

What was the movie about,

What was the story that you have likely played out many times,

You have watched this movie on reruns,

You have seen it with a lot of different actors perhaps or maybe just a few.

You have seen variations on the script,

Different lines delivered at different times,

But the theme of the movie has been the same.

If you had to give this movie a title,

Think this and speak this silently in your own mind,

Not out loud,

This is just for you.

What would you title this movie?

What would you title this story that you have seen most likely many times?

Give this movie,

Give this story a title in your own mind.

Maybe it's a long title,

Maybe it's a short title.

Maybe it surprises you or maybe it doesn't.

Depends how many times perhaps you have seen this movie,

How many times you have watched this story.

In your own awareness,

Begin to feel into how ready you are to let this go.

Who is involved in these movies,

In this story or these many stories?

Just with this first one,

Just focus on one set of stories,

One type of movie for now.

Who is involved?

See the actors,

See the people you have played out this story with perhaps many times,

Perhaps many actors.

See them all in your mind's eye.

Who are the people you have played this story out with?

What happened?

What was the drama?

Who got hurt?

Who fell in love?

Who felt this way or that way?

Who had an agenda?

What were the consequences and results?

See lined up behind this movie all the movies in your family ancestry that have played out in similar ways in past generations.

There may be some very similar movies.

See those lined up behind us.

First movie,

Your movie.

In your awareness,

As you bring awareness to this movie,

As you have given it a title,

As you have been aware of the actors,

The drama,

Who got hurt,

Who played what roles,

What was said,

What the consequences and results were.

Are you ready to let this go?

Are you ready to shed this identity?

Are you ready to erase and remove this movie from your library?

Are you still holding on to it for old time's sake?

Because maybe part of you wants to go back and live that again.

Are you ready to let it go?

If the answer is no,

Ask now what you need to become ready.

Do I need to become ready to let this go?

Feel and receive that answer now.

It may be difficult to hear the answer.

It may be outside the range of your awareness.

Outside the range of what you think is possible or what you're willing to hear,

But try anyways.

Review the title of the movie.

Review your resistance to letting it go,

If significant resistance is there.

And ask,

What do I need to become ready to let this go?

Make that commitment to yourself now,

To make that change,

Whatever it is,

To let this go.

Commit now within your own heart,

Mind and being to become ready and to let this go now.

Imagine yourself placing this movie into that river,

That waterfall of light,

And letting it be dissolved down into the earth.

Strengthen that river and waterfall and empty the contents of this movie down into the earth,

Letting it go,

Letting the light strip away all the residues,

Memories and attachments of this movie or movies,

The stories embedded and layered within this movie.

Let the light flow through the movie,

Dissolving it,

Transforming it into light and carrying it away down into the earth.

The earth can receive and transform all energies sent to it,

Allow it to do so for your movie.

Letting your movie flow,

If you'd like you can kind of empty your hands downward physically as well.

No longer holding on to this movie,

Letting it flow down into the earth,

Letting your awareness and attachment to the actors be dissolved,

Letting the light flow through your movie.

See the scenes and images from your movie dissolving the times when you were hurt or hurt others,

The drama of this movie,

The decisions good,

Bad and neutral made through the course of this movie,

The actions and consequences of this movie,

Let them all be dissolved.

The lines that were spoken again and again and again,

See those,

Feel,

Imagine those dissolving as the light flows through your movie,

Through this old story,

Through all the old stories that compose this movie.

See the title of your movie dissolving,

Whatever it was,

Let it go.

See all the subtitles of all the stories inside your movie,

This movie that is about some way of being in your life.

Continue to increase the intensity of that flow of light,

Calling the light through your movie to completely dismantle and dissolve your movie,

Dissolve all your stories around this area of your life.

You being willing to let this go is most likely the culmination of many years of awareness,

Effort,

Growth and transformation.

At the very least it is a culmination of many years of life experience.

Even if you've never consciously tried to let something like this go before,

You must have lived through enough to come to this place tonight during this meditation whenever you watch it,

To be ready to let this peace go.

Let the light grow in intensity and brilliance and speed,

Washing like gold and white sunlight,

Liquid light moving through your movie,

Dissolving it down into the earth.

Dissolving the attachments,

Feeling the attachments in your body releasing as the light flows through you,

Flows through your hands,

Flows through your movie.

It takes quite a lot of light to dissolve and return all these stories,

Dramas and attachments back to the light.

Let all that flow through you now.

All that light flow through you,

Flow through your movie,

Through your stories and dissolve all those attachments.

In your own awareness,

Begin to ask what parts of yourself might still be holding on to parts of these stories,

Parts of this movie.

What still needs letting go,

Release and forgiveness?

Asking yourself now and tuning in within your own heart and inner being.

What do I still need to forgive and let go of to release this old identity,

This old movie,

This old story?

It could be as simple and as deep as something about your self worth.

It could be another story connected to it.

It could be a belief about ways that the world is or is not.

Beliefs that support or beliefs that harm your ability to let go.

Feel into whatever beliefs are preventing you from letting go at this time.

Beliefs about how things are or are not.

Do your best to let those beliefs also go into the river of light flowing through you.

Identifying them as best you can,

Perhaps just by feeling in your body,

Perhaps by image or symbol in your mind,

Perhaps by actual words and understanding and cognition.

However you recognize these beliefs,

Feel them,

Acknowledge them and let them be dissolved into this river,

This waterfall of light flowing through you.

Feel them in your body.

See them in your mind and awareness.

Breathe.

Receive the light.

Flow the light.

Heal and let go.

Begin to identify the deeper and deeper layers of core beliefs about yourself.

Men often related but not always to self-worth that are generally beneath not being willing or able to fully let go of an old movie or story.

Feel these core beliefs now and flow the light through them as well.

They live within you.

They live within your mind.

They are different for everyone.

Feel into the core beliefs holding you down,

Stopping your progress in life,

Preventing you from letting go,

From going to your next level of light.

Those core beliefs come up to awareness,

Come up to the light and then let them be dissolved.

The light,

It's like heat that burns and boils up the dead material from the subconscious mind and then burns it off,

Dissolves it away and makes all things new.

Feel,

Sense and be aware of any other limiting beliefs.

Beliefs that are holding your story or movie in place on any level and flow the light into those limiting beliefs.

Again,

Often about yourself or your self-worth.

Feel those limiting beliefs,

What they are and where they are and simply flow the light into them to dissolve those limiting beliefs down into the earth.

The process we are using is very simple,

Requires awareness and yet it's very effective.

We are simply and easily dissolving with the light the power of your visualization,

Intent and focus,

Dissolving these stories,

These movies,

These limiting beliefs that are holding on to those stories and movies.

Feel,

Sense and be aware of any other limiting beliefs.

Breathe,

Let the light flow through the structures of what you believe about yourself,

About what you believe about who you are,

The type of person you are.

Are you ready to let that go and experience more of who you really are instead of these limiting beliefs?

As the light flowing into the matrix of those beliefs within your mind and being,

However that presents itself to you in your imagination,

Trust yourself.

Here within the mind symbols and images mean so much.

Let your mind work with you and for you.

Call the light into your mind and flow it into these structures of limiting beliefs,

Dissolving those with the light,

Bombarding those structures with a continuous flow of light.

Only you can do this.

Only you can call the light into your own mind in this way.

Let the light flow through the structures of limiting beliefs.

What are these limiting beliefs?

Flow the light directly into those beliefs.

Let them all be dissolved,

Carried away and disintegrated down into the earth,

Returned to pure energy and pure light within the earth.

The earth recycles all that energy back into pure light so it can be used for a different purpose in another form.

Letting those beliefs go and letting them dissolve into light.

Letting those beliefs go and letting those beliefs go and letting those beliefs go and letting those beliefs go and letting those beliefs go and letting those beliefs go and let them dissolve again.

Continue to let the light flow through those limiting beliefs.

Whatever you're still holding onto that keeps you hooked into your story and your movie as much as you're ready to let go of tonight.

Let it all go into the light and let it be dissolved down into the earth.

The light grows brighter and brighter the more you let go until its brilliance begins to fill your vision and awareness.

Maybe there's things you still haven't let go of and that's okay.

Continue to do your best.

As the light flows through you,

Releasing as much of your story as well.

Any other pieces of your story that you're ready to let go of now,

Let them all go.

Let the movie go.

Let all the parts of that movie be dissolved down into the earth.

Perhaps whole parts of this movie are coming crashing down.

This is a good thing.

Let them go.

Let them be dissolved.

You can only create space for more rebirth to take place in your life.

Letting as much of this movie go now as you're ready for.

Letting the last pieces of it be dissolved into that waterfall,

That river of light that's flowing through you.

So much brilliance and light that you can barely see.

Within the mind thoughts are things.

They have symbol,

Form and structure.

Whatever you see,

Feel and perceive has its own inner reality in your inner life.

And as you flow light through it in your imagination,

You transmute it and turn it back into light itself.

All things come from the light and return to the light,

Including your own movies and stories,

Your own fears,

Limiting beliefs and attachments.

Let all that go and return to the light now.

As much as you're ready to release now,

Let it go.

The light continues to flow through you,

Sealing this process into the earth.

The rest of that light flows down through you,

Sealing whatever has been done thus far,

Finalizing it,

Completing it,

Finishing it.

That aspect,

Those parts of your movie and stories,

Whatever you let go of tonight is now done,

Finished.

Build and completed,

The earth will continue to take it and transform it into pure energy and light and recycle it back wherever it needs to go within the universe.

All energy that belongs to you will be returned to you in a new form,

In its own time,

In whatever way is in your highest good.

Trust this return process and allow it to come in its new forms.

Bring your hands in a prayer position in front of your heart with gratitude.

Flow gratitude into this process,

Into yourself and into the universe.

Expressing gratitude without words in your own heart to yourself,

To the universe,

To those around you in your life.

Expressing gratitude to all things.

Gratitude helps you graduate from one movie into a new,

Higher movie.

It helps you graduate into a new story.

Gratitude cannot be faked of course,

But gratitude is also the highest form of prayer.

Flow gratitude now in your heart for all things.

Thank the universe or God or source by whatever name you like to use.

Make source for all things in your life.

When you're ready,

Take a few deep breaths,

Coming fully back to the awareness of your physical body,

Feeling your feet on the floor,

Your butt in the chair,

The air in your lungs.

When you're ready,

You can open your eyes,

Coming fully back.
