Time to release the cords

In this guided meditation, you are encouraged to take a moment to get comfortable and close your eyes. You are then asked to scan your life and body for any cords, threads, or chains that are holding you back. You are instructed to notice where these attachments are and how they make you feel. You are reminded to approach this exploration with compassion and not judgment. You are then guided to ask these attachments why they are there and how they have kept you safe. When you are ready, you are encouraged to thank them for their protection and release them with gratitude. You are invited to use your hands to physically sweep away the cords or shake them off. After releasing the attachments, you are instructed to take deep breaths and call in positive energies such as love, joy, gratitude, and peace. It is acknowledged that there may be more layers to explore and resources available for deeper healing. The meditation ends with wiggling your fingers and toes and coming back to the presen Welcome, my beautiful friends. Go ahead and take a moment to get situated. You may wish to lie down or sit up straight, whichever you feel called. And as you get comfortable, just gently close your eyes and take three deep, loving breaths in and out. Continue taking another couple of breaths on your own, just to help you settle in and prepare for this meditation. Right now, just take a scan through your life, your body, and just notice if there's any cords, threads, or chains that are pulling you down or keeping you in place. These could be person, places, or things, situations, and maybe even reasons you're unaware of, but you feel like you're being pulled back. You can only get so far or you just feel weighed down, so just take a moment to just feel that. Feel if there's anything that's coming up for you, and then just take notice, is it attached to you somewhere, somewhere in your body, maybe on your heart, or maybe you even feel it on your leg right now. Take notice of what you feel, any details that come along with it, again, like if it feels heavy or if it's pulling, if it's making you feel anxious, but maybe it feels comfortable. Does it feel familiar to you, like it's been there for a while? Allow yourself to just be with it, taking notice of all the little details that are coming up. There might even be a color that is going along with it, maybe a texture, like a sort of shape that's coming up for it. Just take some time to be with this and just to notice and be aware, remembering to use compassion, not judgment as you're exploring. Taking a nice breath, staying with this feeling, ask it why it's here, why is it staying with you, and just listen. Continue to breathe, feel the feels, and listen. You may want to ask more questions, and then you might want to explore how it's kept you safe. If it's been there for a while, maybe it's kept you safe through some certain situations. When you're ready, thank it. Thank it for protecting you and keeping you safe, and as long as you're ready to be released from this chain or pull that you have on you, this cord, let it know that you are safe now, and it's time to move forward. Again with gratitude, releasing it. There might be some feels that come along with this. You may want to breathe more deeply to help release, and you may wish to actually move your body using your hands to sweep the area where it was attached to you. You may want to feel like you're cutting the cords, like your hands are scissors, or pulling them away, or even shake it off. Whatever feels right to you, just allow yourself to do that. Remembering to breathe as you continue to release with gratitude and readiness to move forward. And then just pause and take deep, loving breaths in and out. Calling in love, joy, gratitude, peace, abundance, anything that you want to call in to anchor in this beautiful readiness to move forward. Breathing and just feeling those new energies just filling you up, taking the place of where those cords have attached, where you have released them, and they are now gone. You may wish when you finish to take an essential oil and rub it in that area, or just simply smile, knowing that you have released something and let it go, and you are trusting that you are safe and ready to move forward. Take a deep breath in and out, feeling that goodness flowing in, breathing it in, deep breath in and out, knowing that there might be layers to this, and there might be more that needs to be explored. You can use a journal, you can lean on support, you can search out resources that can help you with deeper, deeper things that you need to go through. But for now, know that this layer that you have blessed and thanked and released is now gone, and you can move forward with your day, feeling that more joy, love, abundance, peace, gratitude flowing through you. With a deep breath in and out, begin to wiggle your fingers and your toes, and allow yourself to come back into this space, feeling lighter and happier where you are. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being you and being here. You are a blessing.
