Meditation For Cutting Ties
This meditation gives you the opportunity to cut ties between you and situations, people, or whatever binds you from expressing your truth and living your life fully.
This meditation helps you to regain any power you are giving to a person, place or situation. You will know when this is happening if you feel agitated, upset, betrayed or revengeful towards a person, place or situation. You cannot change the situation and it is Ok to feel these emotions for a while as long as you don't stay there.
If you do stay in this place, you hold yourself in the energy of the person, place or event, like suspended animation, not moving forward just sitting on the fence, watching everyone around you moving forward and wondering why you haven't. This can feed anger and depression, eventually moving into bitterness and helplessness, it is then likely to manifest into blaming everyone or everything around for any problems or issues.
This exercise will help you to take back your energy and power as you let go, surrender and finally forgive yourself and the person, place or event that your thinking and energy may go to.
We all come from the same place and through our hearts we are all connected. We all experience the same loves, fears, wants and needs - it is our personalities and shadow side that determine how it will show in our physical lives.
Feel your love and beauty as you gently let go.
1. Close your eyes, feel your body and mind gently letting go as you start to relax.
2. Notice your breath, as you inhale and exhale feel it's rhythm as it moves in and out.
3. Feel your breath become deeper and longer and imagine beautiful, cleansing white light flowing into you as you inhale. As you exhale, visualise this cleansing white light moving throughout your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies.
4. Breath in light, breath out light - be the beautiful light being that you are. You feel peaceful, calm and balanced.
4. Now, become aware of a person, place or event that may be troubling you.
6. In your mind's eye clearly see the person, place or event sitting opposite you.
7. When the image of this person, place or event is clearly seen, you will start to see the white light that surrounds you, flowing around and within person, place or situation.
8. Visualise or imagine any cords or ties that flow from you to the person, place or event sitting opposite you. You may see them as a tie, rope, cord, chain or ray of light, you may have one or many and even different colours. What ever you see or feel will be right for you.
9. Look down at your dominant hand and find a cutting implement. (scissors, sword, knife, axe)
10. Take your cutting implement of transformation and cut the cord between you and the person, place or situation, freeing both of you from of all karma and negativity.
11. Thank the person, place or situation for being here today and gently allow the person, place or situation to fade away, knowing all has been transmuted and transformed into love.
12. When you are ready, return your focus to your breathing.
13. After a few deep, cleansing breaths, open your eyes, feeling awake and alert and ready to continue your day.
14. Sit comfortably in a chair or cushion in a place you will not be disturbed for 15 minutes.
15. With your eyes open or closed relax, breathe easily and comfortably. Feel your energy settle into your body, easily and comfortably.
16. You may like to write a letter to the person, place or event you have just let go of ,then burn it and bury the ashes, this assists in finishing the process.
