Hey there . You know we all hold pain , whether we recognize or realize it or not , and so I created this guided meditation for releasing pain and honoring your strength , to help you recognize the pain you've been holding on to and allow it to pass through
and acknowledge the strength you've gained from it . So let's begin by finding a comfortable seat or lying down position , just allowing your hands to rest gently on your lap or by your side , and , when you're ready , softly close your eyes . We're going to begin by taking a deep breath in through your nose and exhaling through your mouth , through your mouth . Again , as you breathe in , feel the air entering your body and exhale , let it carry away any tension that you're holding . Allow your breath to settle into a natural rhythm ,
feeling it move in and out , in and out With each breath . Feel yourself arriving more fully in this present moment . Breathe in , knowing that you are perfectly safe , that there's nothing to do but breathe . Now I want you to draw awareness to your body and notice your feet , your jaw , your face , your hands , your arms , your muscles , your bones . Breathe into your body . Where are you holding tightness as you scan these areas ? Allow yourself to really listen . Where does your body , whisper , or maybe shout that there is something that is still carrying . Take your time identifying this area gently , placing your attention there . Not to judge , not to fix , simply to acknowledge and notice . Let your breath flow into that space . Offer it kindness , offer it patience .
Speaker 1As you continue to breathe , I invite you to bring to mind a pain that you've been holding on to . It may be recent or long ago . It may feel distant and dull , or more present and sharp . Just
draw it to your awareness . You don't have to relive it , just acknowledge that it's there . You can give it a name if you wish , just noticing , holding space for it . And now say to yourself gently I see you , I've carried you and you've shaped me . Allow yourself to feel whatever is present . If emotions rise , let them rise . You're safe . If they pass through , let them pass through . This is not about forcing anything away . It's about making space Space for healing , space for softness , space for truth .
Speaker 1Keep breathing , feel the spaciousness that you've created and now bring your awareness to the strength that has come from walking through that pain .
You may not have asked for it , but still you rose , you endured , you endured , you became . You are strong and resilient because you rose you endured and you became . What have you learned ? What muscles of the clarity do you now carry ? Let that strength rise within you now like a warm light from your core , moving out in all directions . Recognize the strength that you have gained from your pain . Say silently to yourself I honor the strength I've gained . I trust the wisdom I carry . I am still becoming as you continue to breathe and expand .
Speaker 1Picture the pain now as something fluid , energy that wants to move . You no longer need to hold it in place to keep it down . You've listened and you've learned . You no longer need to hold it . With each breath , allow it to flow through you like a river . Feel it as it exits the body through the breath , through the earth , through light .
Feel your body lighten , feel your chest expand . Your heart is open . You smile and you breathe and you allow yourself to rest in this spaciousness . You are not your pain , you are your power , you are your presence , you are your peace Peace . Bring your awareness back to the room , back to your body , back to the present and , when you're ready ,
gently open your eyes , take a deep breath in as if you're breathing for the first time . Carry this softness with you , my friend .
