Guided Meditation For Anxiety - SURRENDER SESSION - Letting Go

Welcome. Find yourself in a comfortable position, either sitting or laying down, right now, as we move into this surrender session. Surrender sessions are all about giving up the fight, giving up the struggle with feelings, emotions, thoughts, imagery, all the things that perpetuate stress and anxiety. So today, there's nothing you need to do, but just simply intend to let go. And as you get yourself comfortable now, just take a few deep breaths, and begin letting go. My words will come and go, but put aside the expectation of me speaking quickly or slowly. Put aside all the things that you feel like you need to do right now, and just surrender completely to this very moment. As we become present, focus your attention on your breathing. And as you focus on your breathing, don't try to change it. Just watch it, like you are the witness of your present breathing pattern. As you watch your breath, the inhale and the exhale, your unconscious mind may want to change the way you're breathing. It may want to find an answer to something. Just come right back to being the witness. Now focus on a feeling. A feeling in your body that is uncomfortable. A feeling that's connected to a label. Maybe it's anger. Maybe it's anxiety. Fear. Maybe it's grief. Blame. Guilt. Apathy. Notice where it is in your body, and just watch it. Watch the feeling. Be the witness of the feeling. As you allow yourself to simply observe the uncomfortable feeling. As you observe this uncomfortable feeling, your mind may want to jump in and look to get you to do something about the feeling. But you're done playing that game now. You are simply letting it be as you observe the feeling in your body. Think about it like a tug of war for so many weeks, months, and years. You've been in a tug of war with this label, with this negative emotion. And today, instead of fighting with it, instead of trying to win it over, you simply let go of the rope and you surrender completely. Surrender completely to the feeling. Letting go. Notice that all it is, is energy. An uncomfortable energy in your body. Be the witness of this uncomfortable energy in your body now. As you observe it, notice that this moment of surrendering feels different. And understand that difference is good today. Continue to witness the uncomfortable energy in your body. As you surrender and let go, your mind may be wanting a result. Asking whether it's getting better or not. You can put that side away now. Because we're not here looking for a result. We're here to make peace with the very thing that we've been fighting with all these years. An uncomfortable energy. So keep letting go. And as you let go, it doesn't mean you're letting go of the actual uncomfortable energy. You're letting go of trying to change it. You are simply watching it. You are allowing it to do whatever it wants to do. Notice if the feeling is stronger or it has weakened. Maybe it has traveled to another part of your body. Anything that the energy was trying to do or wants to do is completely fine. Just continue to surrender to it. Your mind right now may want to judge this surrender session. It may want to judge the feeling and place labels over things again. However, you choose no longer to be led by that anymore as you surrender completely to the feeling and just continue to be the observer of it. Now let's go even deeper now. I want you to step back. Imagine that you're stepping back and watching your body go through the feeling. Do not judge how well you're doing this but simply step back and observe what's going on in the body with the feeling. You have surrendered all outcomes. You have given up control. You have given up the need for certainty. Just give it all up. Let go and surrender. Let the energy move through that part of your body and move out when it wants to without any encouragement or action by you. Take note if there's any part of your body that feels tense and just let go. Allow the feeling of letting go to be your friend. It's just an uncomfortable energy. That's all it is. No more fighting with it. No more changing it. No more looking for answers. Just surrendering to it completely. Notice if the feeling has shifted from what it was before and be okay with the how it is. No matter what the uncomfortable energy wants to do you allow it to do whatever it wants to do. As you surrender. You are the witness. You are the observer. No longer are you the reactor. It is safe to let go. It is safe to put the rope down and give up the fight. It is safe to trust in non-doing. As you let your body do whatever it wants to do just observe. As we approach the end of this surrender session trust your intuition. If you want to start this video over again and continue that is fine. But if you want to end this session that is fine as well. If I can end it here. Open up your eyes. Well done.
