Letting Go Meditation
In this Letting Go Meditation, you will learn to let go of everything that binds you, weighs you down, and emotionally limits you.
A couple, an event, a bad relationship, and even despair are all mentioned.
Remember that the answers are always inside you, in your conscience, in your inner, and in how you program your emotions.
I believe you would all agree with me that we all face unpleasant, emotionally demanding events regularly and that
We all face numerous (daily) scenarios that result in anxiety, bad mood, low self-esteem, physical diseases, or even sadness.
Why?
Because no one has ever advised us how to deal with all of these constant emotional issues.
We have no idea what to do about them.
We have no idea how to act.
We don't want to be embarrassed by inappropriate social conduct or reactions.
As a result, we press down our emotions.
And we continue to press down.
And even more.
Until our bodies are full of negativity that we are unaware of since we have mistakenly assumed that if a negative sensation is pushed and hidden deep inside, it no longer affects us.
But it DOES.
And it does in a big way.
It is a hidden enemy, growing, taking control of our life, and attracting even more negativity,
which we tend to wrongly interpret as "bad luck" (once you learn the letting go Meditation technique, you will quickly realize that there is not such a thing as bad luck).
In complete freedom from negativity, there lies the ultimate happiness. Once all negativity is let go,
there can't be anything else but a blessing, abundance, happiness, health, love, and joy.
Until now, we might have believed that negativity is not a choice.
We may have felt that negativity is caused by situations beyond our control, such as our surroundings,
society, work environment, government, world events, economics, money, or anything else.
We may have even felt that there was nothing we could do about negativity and terrible occurrences and that we simply had to accept them as a part of life.
BUT THAT IS ALL COMPLETELY WRONG.
Let me repeat it:
THAT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE.
The truth is much simpler, but also much more profound:
Any negativity in our lives (including a lack of manifestation of abundance,
toxic relationships, and health difficulties) is simply the product of suppressed bad
sentiments that have been buried deep inside our bodies and have never had the opportunity to be released.
That's all it is.
... an unwanted accumulation, which has never got the chance to be let go.
Just think of it:
Letting go can refer to many different things - pain, anger, resentment, possessiveness - whatever it is, they all have one thing in common. There is a perceived benefit from letting go of something that you are holding onto. So if this is the case, why would you hold onto it in the first place? Well, that brings us neatly to the focus.
What Is Letting Go Meditation?
Letting Go:
To begin, nothing in the past can prevent you from being in the present, and if the past can't prevent you from being in the present now, what power does it have?
Letting go is synonymous with letting go of what we hold on to. It also implies acknowledging that we cannot own it, which always leads to a sense of loss.
Accepting the impermanence of all things requires letting go. After all, we must learn to let go of control over what we do not have.
I advise you to let go of your attachments to encounter your actual Self.
Meditation:
Inner peace and stress relief can both be attained via meditation. See for yourself how easy it is to learn to meditate whenever you need to.
If stress is causing you to feel worried, stressed, or nervous, try meditation. You may find that even a little period of meditation helps you restore your composure and inner peace.
Everyone can practice meditation. It's simple and inexpensive. And no further tools are needed.
And you can meditate anywhere — while out for a walk, on the bus, in line for an appointment, or at a difficult work meeting.
Understanding meditation
Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years. The original goal of meditation was to help people become more aware of life's mystical and sacred qualities. Meditation is now often used to relax and de-stress.
Meditation is regarded as a type of complementary treatment for the mind and body. Meditation produces two effects: deep relaxation and mental serenity.
During meditation, you concentrate and get away from the continual stream of jumbled ideas that may be worrying you out. The method may result in better mental and emotional well-being.
When you meditate, you may be able to get rid of the information overload that builds up during the day and adds to your stress.
Meditation can provide mental and physical benefits such as:
Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
Building Skills to manage your stress
Increasing self-awareness
Focusing on the present
Reducing negative emotions
Increasing imagination and creativity
Increasing patience and tolerance
Lowering resting heart rate
Lowering resting blood pressure
Improving sleep quality
If you have a medical problem, especially one that is made worse by stress, meditation may also be helpful.
While there is a growing body of research demonstrating the health benefits associated with meditation,
Some experts argue that it is not yet possible to draw any firm conclusions about these benefits.
In light of this, some research suggests that meditation may help in the treatment of symptoms related to health conditions like:
Anxiety
Asthma
Cancer
Chronic pain
Depression
Heart disease
High blood pressure
Irritable bowel syndrome
Sleep problems
Tension headaches
If you have any of these conditions or other health concerns, consult with your doctor about the advantages and limitations of meditation.
Meditation can worsen symptoms associated with specific mental health conditions in exceedingly uncommon cases.
Meditation cannot substitute traditional medical care. It might, however, be a useful adjunct to your present treatment.
Building your meditation skills
Don't condemn your meditation skills, since this will just add to your tension. Meditation requires practice.
Keep in mind, for example, that it's normal for your mind to wander during meditation, regardless of how long you've been doing it.
If your concentration wanders while meditating to quiet your mind, carefully return to the item, sensation, or movement you're concentrating on.
Experiment to see what sorts of meditation work best for you and what you love doing.
Adapt meditation to your current requirements. Remember that there is no correct or incorrect method to meditate.
What is important is that meditation relieves stress and makes you feel better overall.
What Is The Benefit Of Letting Go Meditation
Letting go is not easy. When we start a relationship, a project, or a vital change, we usually do it with joy.
However, when we have to say goodbye to people, emotions, or vital situations, it is usually hard for us.
Letting go is difficult because humans are animals of habit. These are the situations in which it is most difficult for us to let go, to let go of something we are clinging to.
We stay in bad relationships, in the hope that they will improve. When in reality perhaps we know that it will not be so.
We stay in bad jobs, for fear of losing stability. When in reality jobs do not define us or give us any security.
We cling to emotions like resentment or sadness because we think they give us an identity. When in reality we long for serenity and forgiveness.
Letting go is a subject I have talked about a lot with those around me.
For what? Because people often ask me how I manage to be so zen with 4 children while carrying out lots of projects at the same time and having a lot of interests.
There is no secret… Becoming more Zen for me required a lot of work, time, and energy, to get to know myself better and to take care of my physical and mental health.
It's not magic, it takes effort and energy, but for me, it will have been worth it!
I do think that learning to let go allows you to:
Reduce your anxiety and be less stressed daily
To be less negative, to be more satisfied, and more optimistic daily
To have better relationships
To have more self-confidence.
- Ability to let go
This is the main benefit of meditation over letting go. If you practice it regularly and seriously, you will see an improvement in your ability to let go.
- Self-confidence
You will feel much better about yourself and your life because you will know that you are the master of your happiness. You are not a victim of circumstance, but you have the power to change your life for the better. You will have more self-confidence and you will feel less anxious and less overwhelmed.
- Calm
Meditation on letting go will help you become more calm and relaxed. You will notice that you are much less stressed and in a better mood. You will also notice that you can think more clearly and have better concentration.
- Better sleep
When you practice letting go of meditation, you will notice that you fall asleep much faster and have better quality sleep. You will be less tired during the day and you will feel more energetic.
- Better Health
Meditation is a great way to reduce stress and improve your health. It can be used to combat anxiety and negative emotions, which can affect your physical and mental health.
How To Practice Letting Go Meditation
To let go of your thoughts, emotions, or whatever else is stirring in your head, then you need to start with this:
So what are my tips for doing this? Here they are.
For Letting Go: Focus On What You Control.
It's too easy to torture yourself about things you have no control over when you really should focus on the things you can control!
Rather than focusing on the behaviors and actions of others, we can focus on our reactions and actions.
To help you figure it out, here's a little list of things you don't control (so there's any point trying to control them or spending energy worrying about them!)
How people around you treat you, what they think of you, and whether they like you
The feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and reactions of others
The weather and the passage of time
Death (that of others and yours)
Injustice
The future (and the past!)
On the other hand, there are plenty of things you can control, such as:
The way you think and how you treat the people around you
Your actions and reactions
How and with whom do you spend time
Your open-mindedness and optimism
Your ability and desire to change
Your state of mind
One of the things that can be helpful is to make a little chart of everything that's bothering you and put them into two columns:
things you control—and things you don't. Personally, when I feel stuck, anxious, or when I feel that it's "spinning" in my head, writing helps me a lot!
This little trick will help you focus your energy on things you can do something about, and consciously choose not to waste time fighting those you can't control.
When I feel my anxiety rising about a situation, I ask myself the question: is the cause of my anxiety mine?
If the answer is no, I choose to mentally move on (at the beginning, the main thing is to become aware of what you have to do, and over time, it becomes easier and easier. But you have to start somewhere!)
Accepting What Is Inevitable
Practicing acceptance was quite eye-opening for me, as it was something I associated with vulnerability.
But, when done consciously, surrendering by accepting can be completely liberating and even empowering!
In addition, the state of acceptance is much more pleasant than the state of fighting against what we do not control.
When we accept, we are relaxed and calm. When we struggle, we are anxious, and on the alert.
Be careful, the state of acceptance does not mean that we remain passive in a situation, but it allows us to take action from a state of inner calm, rather than a state of agitation.
So, when faced with something inevitable, one of the healthiest reactions one can have is to have the courage and the strength to accept, to succumb — aka not to fight against it. which is inevitable.
To facilitate acceptance, I found a trick that may seem funny at first, but which ends up being useful all the same:
it is to draw up a list of all the behaviors or actions that one could adopt or do if one accepted the situation.
Then, we can practice performing them, even if we are not convinced that we have deeply accepted the situation.
It made me laugh, telling myself that it was a bit "fake it till you make it", but I tested it, and it helps to move in the right direction!
Learn From Your Mistakes
By deciding to view past mistakes as learning opportunities, you avoid wasting time ruminating on the past unnecessarily, and you can better focus on the present moment or the future.
Take Responsibility For Your Choices Or Change Your Mindset
At certain times in life, I felt like I couldn't let go. But a few months ago, I heard a sentence from Marie Forleo that made me think.
She suggested replacing “I can't” with “I won't”. So I started doing this, and I was surprised by the effect.
For example, at a time when I thought to myself “I can't stay calm when I see that my child has left all his washing on the floor”,
I replaced that with “I don't want to stay calm…”. For what? Well because the fact that the clothes are on the floor is not mine. But, staying calm, yes.
And by becoming aware of it, it reminded me that it is I who control my reaction... That does not mean that it is easy (and there, I took a very silly example,
but I am well aware that not all situations are so trivial), but it is possible to appropriate the action and change our perspective by realizing that we choose to put ourselves in all our states. No, we do not suffer this fate.
I've also found that this simple shift in mindset has helped me move forward, rather than getting stuck in a negative mindset.
By becoming aware of my role in the equation (that is to say of the fact that I was choosing to put myself in all my states),
I stopped suffering from the situation, and I was able to find inner calm.
It seems silly, but it took a significant moment for me to understand that I had the choice to react as I wanted… And it was liberating.
The other thing I do which seems essential to me to turn the page is to say what bothers me instead of ruminating on what bothers me over and over...
Although in the majority of situations, the fact of saying what bothered us (a behavior, a reaction, an action, or a comment for example) doesn't change anything,
at least it doesn't get stuck inside, and I find that once it's said, we still feel lighter and it helps us to let go.
The key, however, is not to expect that sharing what bothers you will change anything!
It's just a way to get rid of what's bothering us and if there's a positive reaction, it will be a bonus.
Take A Step Back
According to Dr. David R. Hawkins, letting go can happen when you acknowledge a feeling, let it happen, live with that feeling, and let it run its course, without attempting to make it different or do anything about it.
No need to resist, vent, be afraid, or reason with yourself, the idea is simply to become aware of the feeling and resist the temptation to modify it in any way.
According to Hawkins, resisting the feeling gives it depth, while letting it exist allows you to move into another state, often accompanied by a lighter feeling.
For me, this letting go is a bit like detachment. By deciding to let go, I detach myself from my feelings about the situation, so that I can become aware of the feeling, but it is almost foreign to me because I have taken a step back from the situation.
Forget The Blame
In certain situations, it can be so tempting to blame someone or something for what happens to us… But in truth, it is useless and even, it harms our ability to let go!
Breathe
If you're a little impulsive, breathing will do you a lot of good! When a strong emotion arises, remember to take 3 deep breaths and exhale slowly.
This will help calm you down and put you in the right frame of mind to put things into perspective.
Be Gentle With Yourself
As in any process of profound change, patience is essential… We do not change overnight. The process is progressive and it is not linear… So you have to be very gentle with yourself.
Congratulate Yourself!
Taking note of what we are doing better and better and focusing on progress more than failures or backward steps allows us to give ourselves the courage to continue to walk toward our goals.
I write down all these situations and my reactions in a small notebook, which I reread regularly to see my progress, my victories, and my learning.
It's a way of seeing that things evolve — even if they evolve slowly. By forcing yourself to take note of the small wins, you will feel better and more empowered to let go.

Meditation For Acceptance And Letting Go
We all experience pain at some point in our lives. Each of us reacts to it in our way. This mental suffering prevents us from living our life as we would like to live it.
It can even lock us into daily life without perspective. However, what could be more natural than to want to free oneself from one's suffering?
Acceptance is not about removing what hurts inside. Rather, it is about learning a new way of living with all these inner experiences so that you struggle less and can take action.
The idea is to learn to ride these waves rather than trying to hold them back.
Such behavior offers the ability to continue living every day even in the presence of inner obstacles such as anxiety, fear,
and even lack self-confidence. It's finding flexibility in life situations where we feel stuck.
Acceptance can be thought of as a gradual detoxification of the need to control one's inner experience.
Acceptance is a choice of struggling less to move forward more. To consent. To make room.
To welcome and observe. It is a new perspective on oneself and its inner workings. It is choosing what you are ready to feel to move forward in the direction of what is important to you.
By taking the risk of stepping aside control, don't we gain by opening up new life horizons that are richer in meaning?
Well when it's hard to let go, you can be sure that a few of these distortions are doing their usual damage.
Do you want examples?
Here are three.
1. Guilt
We suffer because we believe we should have done things differently.
In doing so, we cannot let go of the idea that we had control and could have avoided something (and/or done things differently).
On these occasions, we not only (infinitely) overestimate the control we had over the situation (if we ever had any control whatsoever), but we forget that the situation is over and that we cannot return. backward.
So this guilt is tantamount to mental self-harm…
2. Self-denigration
Self-denigration is the little brother of guilt.
Rather than accepting reality and letting go, we maintain the idea that the more we suffer, the more value we place on the situation we regret, and the more important it makes us.
Unfortunately, this self-flagellation leads nowhere either...
3. Self-doubt
The difficulty in letting go often comes from the fact that we doubt ourselves.
When we care too much about what others think, we fail to exercise our own will and live authentically.
Self-esteem is therefore a key element to develop to succeed in letting go.
Conclusion
Understanding that everything has an end and that sometimes you have to let things go, memories, thoughts, attitudes.
For example, letting go of things that have hurt us, such as the death of a family member.
Letting go of that person understanding that everything has an end, but that a positive memory will always remain in our minds.
Losing control can be scary, but there are many ways to overcome this fear and create space in your life by letting go of the things and people you no longer need to control.
When people are stressed, they often try to control everything in their lives and feel overwhelmed when things don't go their way.
This can lead to many arguments, depression, and even personal and professional failures.
Letting go meditation is a great way for you to create space in your life and overcome stress.
