Dropping The Suitcases Of Worries And Regrets

Here’s a Sample of the “Dropping The Suitcases Of Worries And Regrets” Guided Meditation Script:

So, to help you reduce anxiety,
start by taking a moment to relax your body..
soften any unnecessary tension in your belly and shoulder,
and find a posture that feels both relaxed and alert,

Now close your eyes
or look downwards
and rest your hands
in an easy effortless way.

Take a few moments
to scan your awareness
through the sensations of your body,
and wherever possible,
soften and release
obvious areas of physical tension.

Aware of your body,
your body breathing,
your chest rising and falling with each breath.

And now imagine standing in the street
outside of your house with two heavy suitcases
and know that one of those suitcases
is full of worries about the future,
and the other suitcase,
know that it is full of regrets about the past.

Take a moment standing there in the street
holding these two heavy suitcases
and reflect about each one.

Reflect about the future,
how it will come on it’s own accord whenever it comes
and that most of what we worry about will never happen.

Standing out there in the street,
reflect about the past,
the other heavy suitcase.

Consider how the past cannot be changed.
All we can do in the present is to learn from it,
put in whatever corrections make sense,
become more skillful,
become a better person,
and move on.
