Letting Go Of The Meditator - 5 Minute Daily Insight

Hello and welcome to the Daily Insight.

My name is Seda and in today's meditation we will explore what happens when we let go of the meditator.

I invite you to find a comfortable position,

One which allows your body to fully relax and let go.

Close your eyes and begin by breathing completely out through your mouth until you've exhaled every last drop of breath.

Now breathe in through your nose for four seconds.

Hold your breath for seven seconds.

And breathe out through your mouth for eight seconds.

What happens when we let go of effort,

Focus and striving and simply rest in being?

Take a moment now to check in for yourself.

Am I surrendering fully to this moment?

Am I allowing reality to be exactly as it is?

Allow your body to melt into this experience.

Rest your bones,

Rest your heart,

Rest your mind.

Give your body permission to fully uncoil and unwind.

Give the seeking mind a break.

And as you let go,

You may discover that surrender opens up further and further.

There are layers to this allowing.

You may discover deeper layers of holding or tension.

Allow those to be as well.

Let go deeper and deeper.

To discover the innate peace at our core,

We only need to look here now with an open innocence.

What do you find?

Pure,

Effortless peace,

Always here,

Always available.

Notice how effortlessly the space arises.

This gift is grace and the nature of grace is that we do not have to earn it.

It is our birthright as human beings.

The only requirement is our willingness to open and receive it fully.

We are making just enough effort to let go of effort.

And our movement is always in the direction of less and less effort into this peace which surpasses all understanding.

Notice what it feels like to be the space in which everything happens.

What does it feel like to be the peace in which the body breathes?

What happens when you let go of the one trying to be still?

What may be a revelation to discover that all which the meditator is seeking,

Peace,

Presence and the joy of being,

Is right here already.

Your uncontrived natural state.

I wish you a beautiful day full of the peace that you are.
