Two nights ago, I did my usual healing meditation right before bed. The meditation focuses on bringing up troublesome events, situations, and thoughts before releasing them fully and completely. And, since it’s guided, I have someone walking me through it every time while nice music and relaxing sounds play in the background. Even though I do this every Wednesday, this one was much more powerful than usual. I think that was due to the heavy burden of negativity that was on my mind for the previous several days. I found some temporary respite through doing things I enjoy and trying to keep myself distracted, but I still felt trapped in that negativity. A little ways into the meditation, I started feeling much better; by the time it was over, I finally felt a true sense of relief, lightness, and freedom. I carried that wonderful feeling with me for most of the next day, which showed me just how much I had released the night before.
One of my biggest struggles in life has been letting go of things that don’t serve me. As much as I read, write, and think about this stuff, I still find it incredibly hard to do. That guided healing meditation has done an amazing job of helping me get rid of negative energy. It also shows that, despite my best efforts to keep a clear head each day, sometimes I need a more focused time to get rid of unnecessary energy that’s built up over time. I may even end up expanding this hard reset to twice a week and seeing how that goes. Whatever I end up doing, I’m glad that I have this life hack to use whenever I need it.
