I want you to take three deep breaths. I want to take a deep inhale through the stomach for a second and then take a second deep breath in through the stomach. And let's do this one more time. Deep breath in through the stomach sitting in the middle of a big field. Atmosphere is warm with a gentle breeze in the the air, a faint tweeting of birds can be heard in the woods beyond, and everything in the natural world is as it should be, but some things not quite right. This moment is imprisoned by your mind as you try to be present. Your thoughts and emotions twist and turn and replay their

grievances. To control the way you think and feel, the more difficult it becomes to see clearly through the haze. It's time to stop struggling with these thoughts to surrender. It's time to completely accept the way you feel. To feel and just feel what you feel and think what you think. without everything to be as it is. Don't put up any resistance.

Just surrender to this moment. Take a deep breath. Feel your lungs inflate as you inhale. The wind blowing through the air. Breathe out slowly. And let your shoulders droop into relaxation. Let them drop every breath, blow out the tension in your muscles, starting from your feet all the way up to your neck. Feel the tension trapped inside each muscle rise and disperse into the atmosphere.

Let negative thoughts and feelings drift away with each muscle rise. with E to embrace the spaciousness. This release you notice that some of these thoughts and feelings associated with your sadness and anger are still lingering in your mental space waiting for an opportunity to consume your consciousness

you're trying to weigh you down and drag you back into the past. And so it's time to remove these barriers to your happiness. Negative thought or feeling float by, pluck it out of the air and place it in front of you on the grass of bitterness, anger, sadness, resentment, disappointment, motion, plug it from the air and place it in front of you on the grass. Take a minute to work your way through even feeling without judgment or effort. Simply take each one and place it on the grass in front of you.

Now look at what's on the grass. Look at the colors of each emotion. See the deep reds of frustration and anger And the icy blues of disappointment and bitterness See how troubled they are How restless, anxious And agitated they are See their potential to poison your mind

And infect your mood Anytime one of these thoughts or feelings tries to float up and penetrate your consciousness again. Simply catcher it with your hands and place it. Consider for a moment, wrap your happiness, if you allow them to control your mind. These are traces of the path. Scattered fragments of something that was,

but no longer is, and never will be again. These are memories associated with negative events that no longer exist and have no rooting in the reality of the present. They exist

because they are given life to surrender to forgiveness from to view at the edge of the field or trees adorned by leaves swaying gently in the summer breeze and those trees is a stream

don't be startled, may see yourself there you haven't yet forgiven someone associated with the sadness and anger you hold within your heart it's okay this person is simply a mirror of the emotions in your pocket. This person is there because you have something

to tell them. You have something important to do and place them on the ground on stream. You are cleansing yourself of negative energy. You are releasing the mistakes and misgivings of the past. Be there yours or those of others If thought and feeling disappears downstream Take a while to feel how liberating it is To take back ownership of your mind Of your life

The stream of life never stops flowing To swim against its current It's pointless but to synchronise with its constant flow is to reside in contentment and flow where this natural is transitional. It is always in a stink of change

and we don't forgive we become stuck in the past trying fruitlessly to swim against the current of the stream of the stream of life. This causes the mind to remain unnaturally rooted in the past in a time that no longer exists. Hold on to negative thoughts is pointless. To do so will bring only mental suffering in the present. Things and beliefs. Better holding you back. Do not deny yourself. The opportunity

for happiness in the present. Give-ness is the only... If you see someone standing there, that you need to forgive, look deeply into their eyes. Give them a big smile and say, I forgive you, setting you free, and you can move forward in life. With a positive mindset,

holding you back, look slowly back to the field, sit down for the night, You can imagine a bed, a tent, a camp bed, a hammock, place where you will bed down a tree of forgiveness and positivity. Wake up, feeling refreshed and energized. Feeling that baggage has been left behind. So you can concentrate on being a positive, productive person. Nothing will hold you back anymore.

You can just let go like you have let go in this century. Let go with a more that negativity behind and with this new mindset. When obstacles and things come in the way of life, you can just let go with any resentment or negativity just like you have done now. In this century, you can come back. and listen to this again, or you can remember it in your day-to-day life. Remember the tools, process you have learned, just to let things go. Just by being here and listening, you have already succeeded because you have identified

the first steps, embrace forgiveness, embracing the forgiveness in others, and also for forgiving yourself. You will not be hard on yourself anymore. You will allow your spirit to mindset to self-limiting beliefs. We'll be held by you anymore so you can be free and let go to be to be the person you want to be and to have the life you're so good. You can enjoy resting in this place.
