I Let Go of the Fight

This guided meditation that I wrote was the topic of this weeks meditation class.  Thought I'd share it with everyone.  Our group meets every Thursday from 7-9:30 and is drop in.  Feel free to stop by!  

This morning I had breakfast with a friend.  I was talking about a situation I was having trouble letting go of.  She said, “It sounds like you are having trouble letting go of the fight.”  Her words echoed in my head.  She was right.  I was still fighting.  I was still wanting to be seen and be acknowledged.  Still wanting to be right.  As I became aware of what I was still holding on to, I was filled with the desire to finally let go.  I wrote this meditation to assist all of us in letting go of what ever fight we may holding on to that we are ready to be free of.

I would like to begin today’s guided meditation with the affirmation: I let go.

Affirm:

I let go.

I let go.

I let go.

I let go of the fight.

I let go of the desire to be right.

I let go of the desire to be seen.

I let go of the desire to be appreciated.

I let go of the fight.

I let go and I step into my power.

I let go and I appreciate myself.

I let go and I see myself.

I let go and I honor and value who I am.

Some people will see us and understand us and some people will not.  Learn to know who you are so that you are not dependant upon the validation of others.  There will always be those who understand you and others who misperceive you.  Learn to let go of your dependence on outside validation for your sense of self.

And so let go now.  Let go of the places where you are still holding.  It is time now to move on.  It is time to let go of the fight.

I let go.

Be the one who understands, be the one takes the high road, be the one who loves, and be the one who is wise.  Let go of needing to be seen.  We see you.  We understand you.  Let go. Let go. Let go.  Know who you are and hold yourself to a higher standard.  Rather than trying to control others seek to gain better control of yourself.  Aspire to love, aspire to compassion, aspire to step into your wisdom.  Know who you are at the deepest level and the opinions of others will not affect you. 

I know who I am.

I know who I am.
I know who I am.

I am human and I am learning.

I am human and I am learning.

I am human and I am learning.

I have made mistakes.

I have made mistakes.

I have made mistakes.

I am also spirit and filled with divinity.

I am also spirit and filled with divinity.

I am also spirit and filled with divinity.

I know who I am.

I know who I am.

I know who I am.

Remember who you are and you will not be so vulnerable to the opinions of others.  Know who you are.  Appreciate who you are.  Know that you are human and that you are learning and that you are also spirit and filled with divinity. 

We are all learning and we are all growing and we are all filled with divinity and greatness.  Step into your greatness now.  Step into your full potential.  Do not be distracted by the opinions of others.  Stay the course, work hard and offer your full contribution.  In the end this is what will matter most.

Let go of the fight now.  Let go of the struggle.  Step into your wholeness and step into your full contribution.  Strive to be the best you can be and allow others the space to find their wholeness as well.  We are all learning and we are all growing.  Seek to be compassionate towards yourself and others. 

Do not be so concerned about how others are behaving.  Work to adjust your own behavior and you shall be successful.  Stay focused on yourself, your contribution and your attainment.  You cannot control others.  The person you are here to master is yourself.  So be bold, be expressive, and be yourself.

What fight are you letting go of?  Does this meditation assist in this process?  What thoughts does this meditation inspire in you?  Let us know!
