Guided Meditation To Surrender Your Thoughts

0:00Welcome to this guided meditation on surrendering.

0:12We are going to work on changing our initial thoughts.

0:19Everything starts with a thought.

0:24We must practice the pause after we notice the thought before we take an action that

0:34might harm us.

0:41A thought is just a frequency.

0:45It's energy.

0:47We feel it and we have a choice.

0:53We can continue on that frequency and act out on a negative behavior or we can choose

1:04a better path.

1:07We can change our thought.

1:10We can change the vibration that we are sitting on and we can choose wisely and not harm ourselves

1:19or others.

1:26Surrendering is not giving up.

1:31Surrendering is just a path to acceptance and acceptance is the key to happiness.

1:42I'd like you to try to surrender to life on life's terms.

1:48No matter what this means to you, it is important that you know that you can do this.

1:55It may take some practice, but we must start somewhere.

2:04As you close your eyes and relax your body, relax your shoulders and feel the sensations

2:17of your body.

2:19Feel any tenseness melt away and surrender to this moment.

2:29This simply means to be here now, to not think about future worries, to not think about

2:38past mistakes, but just be here in this moment.

2:46All we ever have is the now.

2:53By accepting this, we live on a higher vibration of energy.

3:00We live with open possibility and endless opportunity.

3:09When we quiet our minds, we listen to our soul.

3:18We listen to stillness.

3:21We become open-minded and willing to change our bad habits.

3:32You may notice your mind wandering off to a negative thought or you may feel your heart

3:40feeling a negative emotion.

3:44We can work with these emotions and thoughts and then we can change our mind.

3:55We can practice positive thinking.

4:01If your mind wanders to a negative thought about yourself, notice this and be the consciousness

4:17above that thought.

4:21Be the observer of that thought and change your mind.

4:31Know that negativity is only toxic and never helpful for your own good.

4:41If you want to feel better, which we all do, we must learn that we can have control over

4:49the thoughts.

4:54We may receive negative thoughts by habit, but once we notice them, we can change them.

5:02Instead of telling yourself that your life is unfair right now, or that you regret what

5:11you did yesterday, or that you're worried about the problem tomorrow is going to bring,

5:19switch this thought and tell yourself that everything is going to be okay.

5:28Find evidence in your life where this has been true and carry on with this.

5:35You have survived everything up until now and you will survive what comes next.

5:43You're strong and resilient and you can be happy and free.

5:49You can be free from this negativity if you don't entertain it.

5:55You can be positive and optimistic about the future by just knowing that you'll be okay

6:04and not worrying about the details or any outcomes not matching exactly what you want.

6:14In this moment, you are free.

6:17You are free to choose joy, laughter, positive memories, good people in your life.

6:31You have the freedom of choice.

6:36You have willpower.

6:41Use it to feel better.

6:44Use it to love yourself more.

6:50As another negative thought may enter your mind, change it as quickly as you can.

6:58Do this now.

6:59Practice this now.

7:03Breathe into the negative thought and breathe it out.

7:14Make your next thought be a positive one, that you are intelligent, that you are brave,

7:22that you are smart, that you are beautiful, that you are a precious spiritual being.

7:34And just because you're having a human experience with human emotions and ego-driven thoughts

7:46does not mean that you're doomed, that you're bad, or that you have to be sad and live in that depression.

7:56You are allowed to rise up.

8:00Feel yourself rising up.

8:06Give yourself permission to feel good.

8:12Give yourself permission to enjoy each moment as it comes.

8:19To allow each moment, even if it isn't what you want, to be as it is.

8:29And to learn something from each experience.

8:43Another way of practicing changing your thoughts is by having a mantra.

8:53You may choose any mantra that you like, as long as it's a positive one.

9:05It can be as simple as, I can handle this, or I am present, or here I am, or I am alive and free.

9:29It can be, God is with me.

9:34It can be, I am safe.

9:39It can be, love, love, love, choose love.

9:57Just training your mind to remember.

10:00this mantra whenever you come across a negative emotion or thought. Practice it now.

10:11As soon as a negative thought enters your mind, tell yourself, it's okay, I can handle this.

10:20God is here, I am safe, or I'm choosing love. Whatever mantra sticks with you,

10:30is perfectly okay.

10:37Give yourself the safe place to rest. Rest in the moment and the energy of your mantra.

10:48Breathe deeply into this mantra.

10:55Breathe out with faith that this is working for you.

11:00This safe place to pause creates layers in our minds.

11:18If we can remember to do this on a daily basis,

11:23we can start building a deeper consciousness.

11:31We can start becoming more and more aware of our triggers and how to change them.

11:41You must remember that you are worth it.

11:45You are worthy of changing these negative feelings.

11:56You are worthy of love. You are worthy of self-love.

12:05Whatever it is that is blocking you,

12:10clear it away.

12:11It doesn't serve you.

12:20Feel the freedom from these blockages. Feel in your body what it would be like to be free.

12:31Happy, joyous, and free.

12:35Feel your spirit in your body lifting up and feel your heart become a little lighter and more joyous.

12:48And recognize a smile upon your face. You are worthy.

12:56You are worthy.

13:03You are beautiful inside and out and no one should change this about you.

13:12No one can change this about you.

13:15Don't let your own negative self-talk stop you from achieving all of your dreams and being the person that you are meant to be.

13:29Don't buy in to the negativity.

13:35Tell yourself now you don't have time for that.

13:39We're going to rise up above that and we're going to be set free.

13:53As you breathe in deeply again, remember to practice these techniques throughout your day.

13:59Remember that you're worth it. Keep telling yourself this even if you don't believe it yet.

14:07You can do this. You are strong.

14:15Love yourself enough to do this. Be grateful.

14:22Love yourself enough to do this. Be grateful for this opportunity to change, to grow, and to free yourself.

14:42Notice the room that you're in again. Feel the sensations of your body coming back to reality.

14:52And whenever you are ready, you can open your eyes.

15:02Namaste.
