Louise Hay: Evening Meditation

00:16
good evening it’s nice to be with you
00:20
again well the day is now done the
00:26
experiences are over they drift into the
00:30
past it is now time to let them go
00:38
let the office stay where the office
00:41
belongs and whether you had the best day
00:46
or the worst day it is over so let it go
00:51
and with ease and love turn your
00:57
attention to this moment to this point
01:01
in time and space this is the only
01:05
moment that exists for you this is a
01:12
time for relaxing for enjoying the
01:16
letting go and a time for preparing
01:21
ourselves for sleep the last thing we do
01:27
or think at night we take in to sleep
01:31
with us so we want that last thought to
01:36
be positive and healing I would suggest
01:41
that you do not listen to the news just
01:45
before sleep and please do not read
01:49
newspapers at this time either you don’t
01:54
want to take those disasters to sleep
01:56
with you
01:59
sleep is a time when we restore
02:02
ourselves our bodies repair themselves
02:06
and become renewed and refreshed our
02:12
minds move into the dream state
02:15
where problems of the day are solved and
02:19
we prepare for the new day so let us let
02:27
the body relax become very very
02:32
comfortable it does not matter if you go
02:38
to sleep while I am talking for even if
02:42
your conscious mind does not hear my
02:45
voice your subconscious mind is
02:50
listening to and recording every word I
02:54
say so you don’t have to do a thing just
03:00
take a nice deep breath and let go relax
03:10
your scalp
03:13
and you’re for it your eyes are closed
03:20
and gently relaxed it feels so good to
03:29
close your eyes the muscles of your face
03:37
relax your eye muscles your cheeks your
03:48
lips
03:52
your jaw releases and now you relax the
03:59
very base of your tongue
04:05
your throat softens and opens and the
04:12
back of your neck relaxes now your
04:20
shoulders let go this relaxed feeling
04:27
moves down through your upper arms
04:32
softening the muscles into the elbows
04:39
through the lower arms into the hands
04:46
through the knuckles into the fingers
04:54
down to the very fingertips feel the
05:01
tingling in your fingertips as your body
05:09
relaxes more and more let your back
05:16
relax feel all the muscles get very
05:24
heavy and visualize your vertebra in
05:30
perfect alignment take another deep
05:38
breath and as you exhale let your chest
05:45
relax
05:49
your ribcage is floating relax the
05:55
stomach
05:58
feel the peace and calm in the abdominal
06:04
area
06:08
let the hips relax and the genitals and
06:16
allow that relaxed feeling to flow down
06:22
into the thighs freeing all those heavy
06:27
thigh muscles let the knees relax and
06:36
the calf muscles and move the relaxation
06:42
into the ankles through the feet
06:48
and out the tones
06:56
your breathing is nice and easy now your
07:03
body is heavy and yet floating and now
07:10
your skin relaxes then we go inside and
07:18
allow all your internal organs to relax
07:26
and now give your emotions permission to
07:31
just let go feel the peace in your mind
07:41
and body
07:47
when we go to sleep we wrap up the day
07:52
we refresh our mind in our body and we
07:58
prepare ourselves for the new day so as
08:03
we enter the sleep state we want to take
08:08
positive thoughts with us thoughts that
08:13
will create a wonderful new day a new
08:18
future so if there is any anger or blame
08:26
in you let it go if there is any
08:32
resentment or rage let it go if there is
08:40
any jealousy or fear let it go if there
08:47
is any guilt or need for punishment
08:50
lingering in the corners of your mind
08:54
let it go no matter how large a problem
09:02
you may think you have you are only
09:06
dealing with the thought and the thought
09:10
can be changed we choose to think a
09:16
thought the thought produces a feeling
09:22
and we believe that it is true imagine
09:26
even self-hatred is only hating a
09:31
thought you have about yourself and that
09:36
thought can be changed that’s where our
09:40
freedom lies in our ability to choose a
09:44
new thought to think
09:48
so let us consciously choose to release
09:52
the need within us to be critical and
09:56
judgmental of ourselves or others
10:02
let us affirm that you are willing to
10:06
see yourself with approval and
10:09
acceptance and that you are willing to
10:14
allow other people to be themselves
10:20
each person in our life is a mirror of
10:24
where we are in consciousness
10:28
some people mirror the joyous loving
10:31
side of us and some people mirror the
10:34
patterns that on a very deep level we
10:38
want to change then we usually get angry
10:43
and blame them for being wrong try to be
10:48
aware that the people that irritate us
10:52
the most have come into our lives to
10:55
teach us what we need to learn about
10:59
ourselves in this very relaxed state
11:06
allow your mind to go over the various
11:10
people in your world that annoy you
11:19
think of what it is about them that
11:22
bothers you the most and now honestly
11:30
look into your own life and see where
11:36
you do the same thing now if you are
11:44
willing to release that pattern from
11:46
within yourself then you will find much
11:52
to your surprise that you have healed
11:56
the relationship when you change your
12:00
own thinking you will change and you
12:06
will find that other people also change
12:11
I believe that everybody on this planet
12:15
is doing the very best they can at any
12:19
point in time and space with the
12:23
understanding and awareness and
12:25
knowledge that they have including
12:30
yourself and including your parents I
12:39
want you to visualize yourself as a
12:43
little child of six or seven and look
12:50
deeply into this child’s eyes and see
12:57
the longing that is there and know that
13:04
there is only one thing that this little
13:07
child wants from you and that is love
13:12
and acceptance so reach out your arms
13:18
and embrace this child and tell it how
13:24
much you love it
13:28
what a wonderful child it is how
13:33
beautiful it is how bright and
13:38
intelligent it is how creative it is and
13:46
that it is allowed to make mistakes as
13:49
it learns and that you will always love
13:54
it and be there for this child now let
14:02
this little child get very small just
14:07
the size to fit into your heart and put
14:11
it there so that every time you look
14:15
down you can see it looking up at you
14:19
and you can give this child lots of love
14:56
now visualize your mother as a little
15:00
girl of five or six frightened and
15:05
looking for love and not knowing where
15:10
to find it so reach out your arms and
15:17
hold this frightened little girl and
15:22
help her to feel safe tell her how much
15:29
you love her and that you will always be
15:35
there for her no matter what
15:41
and when this frightened little girl
15:44
relaxes and begins to feel safe
15:49
let her also get very small just the
15:57
size to fit into your heart and put her
16:02
there with your own little child so they
16:09
can give each other lots of love
16:44
now allow yourself to visualize your
16:48
father as a little boy of three or four
16:55
frightened crying and looking for love
17:03
see the tears rolling down his face as
17:07
he doesn’t know where to turn so once
17:14
again reach out your arms and hold his
17:18
trembling little body you know how to do
17:22
this now you’re good at comforting
17:26
frightened little children comfort him
17:31
and sing to him let him feel how much
17:38
you love him words are not necessary now
17:44
you can accomplish this just with
17:48
feeling let him feel how much you love
17:54
him
17:56
let him feel that you will always be
18:00
there for him that he can trust you
18:06
and when his tears are dried and you
18:13
feel the love and peace in his little
18:16
body then let him get very small just
18:22
the size to fit into your heart and put
18:28
him there with the two other little ones
18:32
so that those three little children can
18:37
give each other lots of love and you can
18:42
love them all the time your heart has so
18:48
much love in it and the more of this
18:51
love that you share and give away the
18:55
more you will have to share love is not
19:00
a substance that runs out it’s like a
19:03
muscle the less you use it the more it
19:07
withers and dies and the more you use it
19:11
the stronger it becomes and the love
19:16
that you give out returns to you
19:20
multiplied and greets you wherever you
19:24
go
19:26
love is the answer
19:30
love is the most healing force there is
19:34
love abolish –is anger love releases
19:41
resentment love gets rid of guilt love
19:48
banishes blame love fades fear love
19:56
opens the door love is the pathway to
20:01
freedom and peace of mind love is the
20:06
answer
20:08
and forgiveness is the way to love the
20:14
Course in Miracles says that all illness
20:19
is created by being unforgiving and that
20:24
when you are ill there is someone you
20:28
need to forgive they could be living or
20:32
they could be dead but continue to live
20:35
in your mind when we really understand
20:40
that everyone in our life is a mirror of
20:45
where we are and that whatever they are
20:49
doing it is only a reflection of our own
20:54
pattern with this knowledge we can never
21:00
be angry or blame anyone again all we
21:05
need to do is to be willing to release
21:09
the pattern within ourselves
21:13
and to be grateful to them for showing
21:16
us where we need to work
21:20
let us affirm that we are willing to
21:25
release the need to criticize and judge
21:29
we begin to learn to love and accept who
21:35
and where we are now we drop all blame
21:41
and we become willing to change our
21:44
patterns now let’s do a series of
21:49
affirmations powerful statements of
21:53
truth about ourselves
21:55
these are healing words and in this
21:59
relaxed state of mind they sink deep
22:03
into our subconscious mind and we take
22:07
these positive statements into our sleep
22:11
and into the dream world and we make
22:15
them true for us
22:19
a firm with me it is easy for me to
22:24
change it is easy for me to change I
