Meditation for Today

“The Art of Let-Go”

The Method

This meditation is best done at night

The first step:

Lying down on your bed… before sleep comes, start watching.
With your eyes closed move your awareness to the soles of the feet and slowly
start to scan your body for any tension. When you feel tension pause and wait
for the body and the breath to release that tension and let go.

Continue scanning the body moving up from the feet to the thighs and then to
the buttocks letting go of any tension.
Then move your awareness to the belly and relax the belly as you move up to

the chest and shoulders relax the chest and shoulders.
Now relax the neck. Move your awareness now to the muscles in the face and
the jaw and relax.

The second step:

Make sure that when you come to a place of tension in the body stay there

until you feel the body move into a let go.

The third step:

Now move your awareness to the hands. The hands are connected with your
mind. Look for any tension in the hands and as the tension in the hands
releases the mind releases. Now feel the weight of the hands, the weight of

each finger….

The fourth step:

When the body is relaxed the mind is relaxed, the body is but an extension of
the mind.
In this understanding of the body-mind dynamic is the key to relaxation, to let

go.
