Focus<\/strong><\/div>\n
Welcome. This meditation supports the Stage Seven task of letting go of knowing. In this task, you are challenged to let go of the need to know the future, and the need to know the truth about yourself and life, right now. The hardest part of this task is trusting your river or the divine to deliver the answers when you need them. This meditation will support the trust needed to let go of the desire to know.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Posture<\/strong><\/div>\n
Take a moment to get comfortable.\u00a0You can sit or stand or lay down. It\u2019s doesn\u2019t matter. You can close your eyes or keep them open. Do what works for you. You can look around you at this reality, or you can look inward.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Presence<\/strong><\/div>\n
Take a slow deep breath. Let it out like a sigh of relief. Be at peace. You are here now. Take another slow deep breath, and this time, send it out slowly, consciously, with purpose, all the way.\u00a0Be at peace. You are here now. Pause and repeat these breaths until you feel relaxed and at peace.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Journey<\/strong><\/div>\n
We begin. Uncertainty can be uncomfortable… disconcerting even. What will the future bring? What is right for you?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We have let go of so many things… now it is time to let go of the need to know. Or at least the need to know right now.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Consider the river of your life. See it now as a wide and beautiful river, winding through a varied environment.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Imagine yourself in the middle of this river. Maybe swimming or maybe on a boat.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The scenery is always changing. Sometimes you glide through beautiful places… strange places… scary places… amazing places… but you are always moving forward.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Somehow, your river always brings you to what you need when you need it: food, light, air, friendship, love, safety, lessons of all kinds.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And certainly knowledge. Information sits like fruit in the trees along the banks as you pass. There for the taking when you need it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The right information at the right time, preparing you for what is next around the bend. And you do \u00a0always seem to have just exactly what you need for the next phase of your journey.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Have you noticed?\u00a0The river provides everything right on time.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Think now of what you would like to know. Imagine it like a small rock in your hand.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ask the river to bring you this knowledge at the right time.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Drop your rock into the river, asking that it return as fruit to feed your journey, perfectly timed.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And so it will be.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sit back and float along for a moment, enjoying the scenery. Give thanks to your river for this journey and everywhere it will take you.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Return<\/strong><\/div>\n
When you are ready, bring your awareness back to your surroundings. Notice how you feel. Take this feeling with you and return to it anytime you like. Visualization is a powerful method.\u00a0The river here, is a metaphor for your life and for the divine. Return to this meditation anytime you feel frustrated with uncertainty.<\/div>\n
