Beautiful soul.
This Reiki infused meditation is all about dropping the suitcases of worries and regrets.
So to help you reduce anxiety or worry,
Start by taking a moment here to relax your body,
Soften any unnecessary tension in your belly and your shoulders,
And find a posture that feels both relaxed and alert.
Now close your eyes,
Take a few moments to scan your awareness through the sensations of your body,
And wherever possible,
Soften and release any obvious areas of physical pain or tension.
Aware of your body,
Your body breathing,
Your chest rising and falling with each breath.
And now imagine standing in the street outside of your house with two heavy suitcases,
And know that one of those suitcases is full of worries about the future,
And the other suitcase know that it is full of regrets about the past.
Take a moment standing there in the street holding these two heavy suitcases and reflect about each one.
Reflect about the future,
How it will come on its own accord whenever it comes,
And that most of what we worry about will never happen.
Standing out there in the street,
Reflect now about the past,
The other heavy suitcase,
And consider how the past cannot be changed.
All we can do in the present is learn from the past and put whatever corrections that make sense into our present moment,
Becoming more skillful or perhaps becoming even a better person,
And just simply moving on.
Taking a big deep breath in through your nose and sighing out through your mouth audibly.
Standing there in the street feeling the weight of these suitcases and absorbing the wisdom of your own reflections right now.
Make a conscious decision.
Do you want to drop the suitcase of worry about the future?
And if so,
Simply drop it.
Just simply drop it.
Now standing there in the street with the other suitcase so heavy about the past,
Make a conscious decision.
Do you want to drop it?
And if so,
Just drop it.
Just drop it.
And now you've dropped the two suitcases,
So walk back into your home and take your seat right where you are.
Plop down so relaxed like someone coming home from a long trip dropping suitcases and just relaxing.
Rested in the present,
Just breathing.
Resting in the natural well-being of the parasympathetic nervous system.
Resting in the fundamental well-being of awareness itself.
Awareness which does not worry or regret.
Resting because it is meaningful to rest.
Allowing yourself to simply rest,
Feeling a sense of peace,
Of joy,
Of well-being.
Taking a big deep breath in through your nose and sighing out through your mouth.
Feeling the beautiful flow of Reiki from the very top of your head all the way down to the bottoms of your feet.
As that energy is pulsating through your body,
Know that this is a natural happiness.
This is always your true home.
Without carrying heavy suitcases of worries about the future or regrets about the past,
Simply allowing rest here in your body right now with total relaxation throughout your body,
Throughout your mind.
Bringing awareness back into your physical body by wiggling your fingertips and your toes.
Slowly and gently moving your neck from side to side.
Maybe even doing a few gentle neck rolls.
Letting go of any other tension you may be feeling in those shoulders.
And open your eyes whenever you're ready.
