Embracing Transitions
In this meditation, we'll practice letting go of the way things were to make space for what is to come.
Let's start by finding
a comfortable posture.
This could be sitting,
lying down or standing.
If it feels okay to do so, you
can allow your eyes to close.
And we'll take one deep breath
together as a way to further settle in.
Breathing in through the nose.
And slowly out through the mouth.
Inviting the jaw to relax.
Letting the shoulders be at ease.
As well as the hands and the belly.
In this moment, there's no place
else you need to be, nothing you
need to fix, no better version
of yourself you need to become.
Really take that in for a moment.
Letting the body and the mind
decompensate, and just be here as you are.
And the breath can be
at its natural rhythm.
And we'll take a few moments to
settle our attention at our breath.
Feeling the breath
around the belly region.
With each exhale, the body relaxes a
little more deeply into this moment.
And with every thought that arises,
we have the opportunity to bring
the awareness and presence back
to this moment, this breath.
Deepening our concentration
and attunement.
In this meditation, we're just
practicing, embracing the many
transitions we go through as humans.
And that primarily involves
holding space for our experience.
So as you continue to focus on
your breath, see if you can also
continue to give yourself the space
to be exactly as you are right now.
If you're confused, not
pushing or fighting.
Allowing it to be there.
Just in the background as
you focus on the breath.
And any emotions that may be
present, it can feel as though
you're breathing into those.
And exhaling more spaciousness,
more compassion to all of these
dimensions of yourself on the exhale.
Let's take one more deep breath together.
In through the nose.
And out through the mouth.
When you're ready, you can
allow your eyes to open again.
Great job today.
If you're navigating a transition, see
if you can give yourself the space to
be there, to be uncertain, to be unsure.
You're just going through
your own metamorphosis.
Thank you for your practice.
Until we talk again, take care.

Vidyamala’s tips on catching anger as it’s happening or about to happen are great - clear, practical, and doable.

The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.
- Lauren
