Release The Past: Deep Sleep Meditation

Welcome into this deep sleep meditation to help you to start to let go of the past the past can weigh on us heavy and although experiences may be an important part of our story it does not need to be our present especially if the past is hanging over us,

Blocking us or causing us to still feel pain that needs to actually be released and to let go of as you listen to this and fall asleep you don't need to consciously hear every word just trust that the letting go will happen as you absorb these words listen to this as many nights in a row until you start to feel the effects in your waking day you might start to find that the past hangs over you less and you'll start to feel shifts and changes so for now start to find a comfortable position in your bed beginning to simply wind down for the evening absorbing these words time to rest,

To let go seeing if you can allow your body to soften in the bed getting really cozy with as many blankets,

Pillows,

Whatever it is that you need to feel safe and supported,

Allowing your head to rest on the pillow,

Your arms to fall gently by your side closing your eyes and allowing yourself to be fully held taking a slow deep breath through your nose and just sighing it gently out through your mouth beginning this process of letting go again allowing yourself to softly breathe in through your nose and as you feel ready exhaling the breath out through your mouth trusting that the process of letting go is already underway you feel your body feeling softer and heavier now with each breath you take you feel yourself sinking into the bed more and more breathing in peace and breathing out anything heavy,

Anything from your day anything you no longer want to carry and as you lay here,

As you lay fully supported by the bed you can feel your legs starting to grow heavy your feet and legs feeling warm and supported by the bed and that relaxation starts to drift up your legs your calves your knees your thighs you can feel your hips melting into the surface beneath you and it feels so good to let go to soften again to no longer hold on you allow your chest to open your shoulders to drop feeling your shoulders softening letting go your arms loose and heavy your neck soft and you start to feel your jaw relaxing now the tension from the day held in the jaw just starts to soften letting go it feels so good to let go to not hold on to anything heavy your eyes and head start to feel as though they're completely relaxed your whole body calm,

Safe,

Ready for rest and as your body grows heavier in the bed and feels more and more relaxed you start to imagine a beautiful,

Magical golden mist swirling around you and this mist has the ability to transport you to a healing place and as the mist swirls around you you allow yourself to be transported to a beautiful beach at sunset you can feel the energy before you even see it and you find yourself stood at the top of an ancient stone staircase these smooth stones leading down towards a beach at dusk you feel safe here and there's this knowing that this is the place you need to be in order to release,

To let go you notice the sky is painted in hues of lavender,

Rose and pale gold the air is soft and calm you can hear faint waves in the background this stone staircase leading down to the beach you know that every step you're going to take down to this beach is going to almost feel as though you can let go more and more already taking the first step down slowly,

Easily with each step feeling your body relaxing even more step by step you descend down the ancient stone staircase stepping down 10,

Stepping again 8,

7 feeling closer to that space where you're going to let go 6,

Feeling a release 7,

Feeling more and more ready 4,

A calm starts to wash over you 3,

Stepping down 2 and stepping down one more step now and onto the soft warm sand 4,

Feeling that cool smooth sand beneath your feet you have arrived right where you need to be you notice the tide gently laps the shore soothing rhythm that steady eternal sound of the sea 4,

The colors of the sunset shimmer across the waves turning them to liquid silver,

Soft violet you breathe in the air,

It's fresh,

Salty that familiar sense of the ocean 5,

That salt that has the ability to cleanse,

To heal you feel a light breeze brushing your skin carrying peace to every part of you 6,

And beside you now you notice a gentle companion walking by your side a soft loving dog its presence is calm,

Angelic and reassuring 7,

This dog feels wise and playful all at the same time it looks up with you,

Its eyes full of forgiveness and unconditional love you realize this dog is here to remind you to help you to remember,

To help you to heal this dog reminds you that no matter how hard the past has been that it can be released this dog reminds you that healing is possible this dog reminds you that peace is possible or that love remains with this beautiful dog by your side,

Your angelic companion,

You feel supported and you start to notice you're carrying a bag 8,

When inside this bag are glass bottles that you've brought here with you bottles you knew needed to be released each bottle inside your bag is labeled with a memory a story,

A person or an experience from your past that you are ready to release there may be only one glass bottle in your bag or there may be several 9,

This angelic dog by your side doesn't judge they're here for as long as you need them as your guides no matter how many bottles are in your bag start to notice now what's in your bag 8,

What the labels say who or what is contained in these glass bottles you notice that in each glass bottle there's water and that water may be clear,

Shimmering or it might be murky,

Stagnant liquid heavy with emotion that you've held for far too long what does the water look like in these bottles?

How old or stagnant is this water?

How grey or murky does your water look?

Maybe some bottles contain lots of colors pink,

Blue,

Gold,

Green,

Maybe holding more complex feelings maybe complex feelings where we once felt a different way towards someone that's okay for them to all be mixed up with different parts of you,

Different parts of what you've experienced and as you walk with your companion to the water's edge the sand becoming more damp and cool beneath your feet like carrying these bottles the sound of the waves soothing you deeply like a lullaby you're now onto the sand with your bag beside you the ocean stretching endlessly before you vast,

Eternal and forgiving the ocean has the ability to heal,

To transform,

To alchemize to shift old energy into something new,

To renew it's time now to reach into your bag and lift the first bottle feel its weight,

Its smooth glass and the energy it holds it's okay if this feels difficult,

Your companion sits right beside you in knowing silence taking that first bottle and bringing it to your heart for a moment acknowledging it,

Honoring it take a deep breath in sighing out softening into release it's time,

You're ready slowly remove the cork feeling ready to let go long overdue tilting the bottle now gently over the water and if the water is clear in that bottle then watch it pour easily into the sea and if it's murky or stagnant just noticing how heavy it feels as you release it and yet the moment the ocean takes it,

It starts to shift no matter how heavy that water is,

How much pain is in that water,

The ocean accepts it without hesitation the ocean can hold it so that you don't have to watch as the liquid splashes into the waves notice how the water is instantly absorbed,

Transformed,

Transmuted murky water becomes clear,

Diluted the heaviness of the water that was in the bottle now becomes light the past dissolves into something greater,

Something eternal something that naturally heals and shifts pausing here and breathing deeply,

Feeling your chest soften your shoulders release and your heart already feels lighter your dog companion rests its head on your knee reminding you you're safe,

You're loved and you can let go I'll give you time now to keep reaching into your bag with as many bottles that are in there keep taking a look at those bottles,

Hold them to your chest pop the cork open and release that stagnant energy pour that stagnant water into the ocean and feel yourself let go over and over it's time to heal,

It's time to release I'll give you some time to do that as you stand by the water's edge now you feel so light,

So clear so grateful that the ocean is able to work its magic at last your bag is empty and you set it aside feeling your body soft and calm noticing a feeling in your shoulders you haven't felt for a while your shoulders no longer feel burdened they no longer feel as though the past is weighing on them as though there's nothing on your shoulders or your back anymore to carry it truly has been released and you can feel it all over your body you notice now the sky softer the sunset complete the sounds of the waves soothing you now to sleep your companion curls up beside you,

Warm and loving you have released what no longer serves you and you're ready to rest lie back now on the soft sand feeling the beach cradling you the stars watching over you the ocean singing you to sleep as you lay here you feel yourself drifting this unburdened feeling feeling so good in your body as you lay here falling to sleep absorbing these words that help you to continue to let go I allow the past to rest and I choose peace I am safe to let go of what no longer serves me the ocean of life washes away all that is heavy I am supposed to let go I am not supposed to hold on to the past holding on does not serve me it only causes me more pain letting go is what heals me holding on to pain does not bring me justice letting go is what helps me to heal when I let go of the past I make space for something new when I let go of the past I make space for someone new I forgive myself for all of the things that have been I release others I let go of them I trust that they're on their own journey and I am on mine I am free from old stories that no longer belong to me stories that are no longer me I am a new person every day I give myself permission to be new I honour my past and lovingly release it all at the same time old stories do not define me I write new chapters each day my heart makes space for peace,

Love and renewal I deserve to feel unburdened I deserve to release and rest I am carried by love I choose love I let go of regret and I choose compassion I release control and I trust the flow of my life I let go of resistance and I surrender to peace letting go comes so easy peace comes so easy the past is complete and I am free I choose to free myself I am ready for new beginnings,
