Hey there . It's safe to say that most of us are experiencing some kind of a transition in our life right now . Might be minor , might be more major , maybe it's something that's just unfolding in your life . Maybe it's already
here , maybe you're anticipating it , maybe you're not even sure what it is , but you can feel it . You can feel something coming .
Speaker 1This meditation is for staying open in the unknown . Take a moment to settle into wherever you are right now . Just allow your body to soften , allow your breath to find its natural rhythm . To find its natural rhythm . Take the time you need as you transition into this meditation . When you draw awareness around the fact that everything is a transition
, you might be able to acknowledge that transitions aren't as scary , maybe , as you thought . Just keep that in mind .
Speaker 1Let's begin by simply noticing our breath , not changing it , not forcing it . Simply observing the inhale and the exhale and the space in between . Notice yourself starting to relax , know that you are safe , that this is for you and we're not attached to getting anywhere . We're simply in the moment together . And as you listen to my voice , I want you to gently bring to mind the change that's unfolding in your life . Maybe it's already here ,
maybe it's happening in your outer world , or maybe it's happening on the inside . Maybe it's coming , maybe you always knew that it was coming and it's getting closer now . Maybe you're not even sure what it is , but you can feel the shift . Breathe into it . Just breathe into the feeling . Don't assign any meaning and let yourself acknowledge what is true Change is happening , and with change comes uncertainty .
Speaker 1And with uncertainty often comes fear , and it's okay to feel that fear . It's human , it's perfectly natural . Our mind , trying to protect us , creates stories , and not just any stories . Often the worst case scenarios , we imagine loss or failure , rejection , regret . But what if we're rehearsing pain that may never come ? What if the fear we're feeling isn't from the change itself but from the story we're telling about what that change might mean ?
Speaker 1Let's take a deep breath together here , inhaling for 4 , 3 , 2 , 1 ,
and exhaling gently for as long as you can . Now let this phrase anchor you . Change is inevitable . Suffering is optional . What we choose to do with change is powerful , how we choose to be to it with possibility . We can brace or we can breathe . We can cling or we can open , can open . Let's choose to open in this moment , right now .
Speaker 1On your next inhale . Imagine you are inhaling possibility , space , curiosity and trust and as you exhale , release the attachment to knowing how it all turns out . Breathe in openness , breathe out control . There's no need to force clarity . You don't have to grip the outcome . You get to stand in this moment , rooted in choice , in this breath . You are not lost In this breath , you are not behind . In this breath . You are whole , capable , resilient , forceful .
Speaker 1There is power and freedom in not knowing , because not knowing is also the birthplace of every creative possibility . It's where new ideas live , it's where you get to write the next chapter . So when the mind rushes ahead , when you run from the fear or the fear gets louder , come back to this place ,
come back to the breath . Come back to the breath , come back to choice , return to the quiet , knowing that you are not at the mercy of change . You are in relationship with it and whatever you want that relationship to be is entirely up to you . And the more you soften , the more you stay open , the more life can meet you with unexpected grace .
Speaker 1Take one more deep breath in and release with a long , slow exhale . Whenever you're ready , bring yourself to where you're sitting or lying , still with your eyes closed . Draw your awareness around . What is the support of the earth beneath your feet or the pillows beneath your body of your breath that supports you from within , saying out loud or to yourself I am open to what's unfolding , I am grounded in choice and I trust that possibility lives in the unknown . Whenever you're ready , go ahead and open your eyes , gently , move your body around ,
notice how you feel and as you move back into your day , remember change is inevitable , but suffering is optional . Namaste , my friend .
