Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Meditation Tides with Michelle's Sanctuary, where the tides
of your imagination carry you on a healing journey. You
are listening to the Hurt Break, a meditation to bring
relief from emotional pain and mental anguish so you may
(00:21):
find your way back to feeling good. I'm Michel, your
guide on this journey. Think of me as a longtime
empathetic friend ushering you to a place of peace and possibility.
Together we will step away from what's weighing you down
(00:43):
and create more space for love, joy, and hope to return.
The more often that you listen and immerse yourself in
this practice, or your mind and body will get used
to feeling safe and imagining better outcomes. Find a comfortable
(01:11):
space to relax and settle in. Close your eyes, take
a deep breath inhaling calm and lightness. Feel your lungs
expand as you invite in a refreshing wave of newness,
(01:38):
and as you exhale, imagine releasing any tension, worry, or
hurt with each breath. Feel your body letting go. Each
breath in a little brighter, each breath out a little lighter.
(02:04):
Take this moment to honor yourself. You've shown up to
give yourself a break, and that deserves to be celebrated.
It is enough. You don't need to fix anything right now.
(02:24):
You don't need to carry anything you're not ready to hold.
All you need to do is breathe and simply be. Now,
in your mind's eye, imagine yourself standing in the middle
(02:48):
of a beautiful field. The silky blades of grass create
a soft cushion beneath your feet, swaying gently in the breeze.
Wild flowers perfume the air, and the wind reassures you
(03:14):
with gentle caresses, causing your light weight clothing to ripple.
Above you, the sky is a vast, endless blue, stretching
far beyond the farthest point you can see. It is
(03:38):
a place of infinite possibility. It's just you and the sky.
Now in your hands, you hold a baseball that solid
and strong. It can be any size, made of any materials,
(04:03):
and any color you wish it to be. It feels
just right in your hands. A sphere begins to form
and hover in front of you. It's translucent like a
crystal ball. And inside you see the things that I've
(04:29):
been bothering you. These are your worries, your fears, You're hurt,
swirling inside the sphere like tiny stories playing out. But
(04:50):
notice how you're standing outside of the sphere since the separation.
As you peer into it, you suddenly feel in control
of all the things that I felt out of control,
(05:16):
now that they are contained. These things were taking up
far too much space inside of you. Take a deep breath,
feeling the strength in your body, and when you're ready,
(05:38):
swing the bat. Feel the bat as it connects with
the sphere, launching it high into the sky. Watch as
this orb of hurt soars higher and dire, becoming smaller
(06:03):
and smaller until it disappears into the endless gradient of
soothing blues. With each swing, you send away something that
no longer serves you. You may not feel ready to
(06:30):
get rid of all of these things forever, and as
you heal, there may be relationships or certain things you
wish to revisit some day, but for right now, take
(06:52):
pleasure in launching them into the infinite space before you
swing and release as many times as you need to,
as many times as you want to in hal index, heale,
(07:21):
and as the final sphere is launched to the sky
and vanishes, take a moment to notice how the world
around you begins to change. The colors in the field
(07:44):
grow more vibrant, The sky seems brighter, the breeze becomes
even more soothing. The world is magnified in its beauty,
a reflection of the lightness now inside of you. You
(08:11):
stand in this meadow, free and weightless. The discontentment that
once held you down is gone, and in its place
you feel a deep sense of inner peace, of calm.
(08:38):
You are strong, you are resilient. You are capable of
letting go every burden. You release open space for bliss,
(08:59):
for love. Imagine filling the space like filling a cup
with all the things that make you feel good. You
sit amongst the rows of wild flowers and sat in
(09:22):
the emerald grass, feeling the warm sun and gentle breeze
on your face. Grounded in all this beauty, you sense
the cup within you filling to the brim. Warm waves
(09:45):
undulate through you, and your mind drifts to the possibilities,
to the hopes. You now have the courage and energy
to expect floor You feel whole. You awaken too, all
(10:06):
the things you wish to do with this one fabulous
life you have take a few more deep breaths, savoring
this precious moment. The rolling verdant hills, the powdery blue sky,
(10:31):
the sparkling, honeyed sunlight. They are always here for you.
Whenever you need to close your eyes and take a break,
feel an orb of protection form around you, safeguarding you
(10:55):
from anything that dares to interrupt your peace. Yes, and
when you're ready, slowly bring your awareness back to the
present moment, wiggle your fingers and toes, and take the
(11:17):
sense of serenity with you. Carry it along through your day,
knowing you are free to let go whenever you need to.
I am Michelle, and I thank you for joining me
on this journey. Lead These meditation tides guide you whenever
(11:42):
you need them.
