What is Meditation?
Meditation is a practice that has been used for centuries to cultivate a sense of inner peace, clarity, and focus. It involves training the mind to achieve a state of deep relaxation and heightened awareness. Through meditation, individuals can learn to let go of negative thoughts and emotions, and instead, embrace the present moment. By incorporating deep breathing, visualization, or focusing on a specific mantra, meditation allows individuals to quiet the mind and connect with their inner selves. This practice has been proven to reduce stress, improve mental well-being, and increase overall happiness. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, meditation can be a powerful tool to transform your daily life and bring about a sense of calm and balance.
Benefits of a 15-Minute Meditation
Meditation is a powerful tool that can have numerous benefits for our mental and emotional well-being. One specific practice, known as a 15-minute meditation for letting go, offers a quick and effective way to release stress and find inner peace. By dedicating just a few minutes to this practice each day, you can experience the following benefits:
1. Letting go of thoughts and emotions: In our fast-paced and busy lives, our minds can become cluttered with endless thoughts and worries. Through the practice of a 10-minute meditation, you can learn to detach from these thoughts and simply observe them without judgment. This allows you to let go of any negative or intrusive thoughts, creating a sense of mental clarity and calm.
2. Relaxation and rest: By intentionally setting aside time to meditate, you are allowing yourself to pause and find relaxation. As you focus on your breath and become present in the moment, your body and mind can experience a deep sense of rest. This results in reduced stress levels and an overall feeling of rejuvenation.
3. Realization of reality: Through meditation, you can gain a deeper understanding and acceptance of the present moment. By letting go of attachments to the past or worries about the future, you can fully embrace the reality of the present. This realization allows you to experience life in a more authentic and fulfilling way.
4. Freedom: Letting go of thoughts and emotions during meditation allows you to free yourself from the constraints of the mind. By becoming aware of your thoughts and detaching from them, you can experience a sense of liberation and freedom. This freedom extends beyond your meditation practice, positively impacting your daily life and relationships.
In just 15 minutes a day, a meditation practice focused on letting go can bring relaxation, rest, a realization of reality, and a newfound sense of freedom. Incorporating this practice into your daily routine can lead to a more peaceful and fulfilling life. So, find a quiet space, take a deep breath, and allow yourself to let go and experience the benefits of this transformative practice.
What is Letting Go?
Letting go is a fundamental concept in meditation that holds great significance. It is a process of releasing attachments and resistance to thoughts and emotions, allowing us to find peace, clarity, and freedom.
In meditation, we often become aware of the constant stream of thoughts and emotions that flow through our minds. Letting go involves acknowledging these thoughts and emotions without judgment, and then setting them free. It is about allowing them to come and go, without clinging to them or getting caught up in their narrative.
By practicing letting go, we cultivate a sense of inner peace. We learn to detach from the thoughts and emotions that may cause us stress or anxiety, creating space for a calm and quiet mind. Letting go allows us to break free from the grip of our thoughts and find a sense of clarity and stillness within ourselves.
Furthermore, letting go opens the door to freedom. When we release attachments and resistance, we liberate ourselves from the constraints of the mind. We no longer feel weighed down or controlled by our thoughts and emotions. This freedom extends beyond our meditation practice, influencing our daily lives and relationships.
Letting go also enables us to connect more deeply with reality. By releasing attachments to the past or fears about the future, we can fully embrace the present moment. We experience life with heightened awareness, embracing it in its entirety. Letting go allows us to connect to a deeper sense of wholeness and authenticity.
In conclusion, letting go is a powerful process in meditation that brings peace, clarity, freedom, and a deeper connection with reality. Through practice, we can cultivate the ability to let go and experience the many benefits it brings to our lives.

When you’re ready. You can just find a comfortable seat. You can either sit on a pillow, if it’s more comfortable for you, you’re also welcome to lie down. So any position that you can find some stillness in. Now if you are lying down, you can just gently rest your hands on top of your belly. If you are seated, just resting your hands on top of the knees. And then we’re going to close the eyes here, start to tune in to the breath. Start to slow the mind down and settle into some stillness.
As you sit or lie down here. Actively start to deepen the breath. So notice as you inhale. The chest gently rises. The ribs expand out towards the side and the belly rises and inflates. And then as you exhale, belly returns back towards the spine. Ribs come in and chest comes down. So this is our three-part breathing exercise. We’ll do a few more like this.
So we inhale into our chest. Into the ribs, feel that expansion. Into the belly. Exhale belly, ribs, chest. Beautiful, let’s do three more just like that. Inhale. Chest, ribs, belly. Exhale, belly, ribs, chest. Inhale. Continuing like that. Two more rounds in your own time.
Really try to segment the three parts of the body of the abdomen. Once you’ve completed your last round just releasing that breath control.
Then drawing your attention to the mind. Starting to observe the thoughts, the emotions. Maybe certain feelings are coming up for you. We are not trying to get involved here or change anything, we are simply just observing.
Think of your mind as a room with windows or maybe even a house. And you are outside the room or the house, just simply peering through the window, seeing what’s happening inside. So you’re not trying to move the furniture. You’re not trying to change what’s happening, you’re just simply observing.
And as we observe the thoughts here. We practice this idea of releasing. Releasing any thoughts or feelings or emotions that don’t serve us in this moment. So release the grip you have on these thoughts.
Moving into our visulaisation for today. I’d like you to start to imagine yourself walking along a path. Really get quite detailed of how this path looks. Where do you find yourself? What type of setting is it? Is your path paved? Maybe with cobblestones? Maybe it’s a gravel path? Start to notice your surroundings and colour this picture in.
As you’re walking along this path. You notice this path goes in different directions. And as you’re walking, you are trusting the guidance of the path. So you are taking one direction, then another, not really questioning where you are going but trusting that you’ll end up where you need to be.
So constantly changing direction as you follow the path. Maybe you take a right. Then you take a left. As you enjoy this walk, you finally arrive at an end point and the path opens up to a riverbank. And there’s a big tree next to the river that you decide to go sit under.
As you’re observing the stream in front of you. The river. A gentle breeze just starts to blow and the leaves on the tree gently drift down towards the floor. As you observe how the leaves float and drift down. Falling into the stream of the river in front of you observe how the leaves start to flow in the
river and drift by. Just watching and observing. Once again, you’re not worrying about where the leaves will end up. Just noticing as one leaf drifts by, another one follows.
Then you start to realize that all of this is a process. Within a bigger picture. You realize that you following your path the way you did has brought you to this beautiful opening, this beautiful place, and this experience of just being content and at ease. This can just teach us so much about trusting.
Trusting the path we follow, trusting the process and trusting the guidance it brings us. Knowing with this trust that you have created you have built on this feeling of your intuition. So in trusting yourself you have brought on the trust in the process and vice versa.
Through all of this. By following this sense of intuition, you know that you don’t have to necessarily worry about where the path is taking. You don’t have to set your intention on the goal or the destination. But rather, it’s about the journey of getting there. Wherever there might be. And it’s within this present moment that we find the sense of contentment and ease. The sense that everything will work out and align as it should.
And then you can slowly just start to let go of that visualization. Let all those ideas and thoughts settle in your mind. Once again noticing the breath and where it’s at. Noticing how your physical body and your mental body has the sense of ease and calmness.
Then taking a moment just to show yourself some gratitude and appreciation for finding some time out in your day to return to stillness. Time to just simply be and reflect on where you are at.
Take one big inhale through the nose. Exhale all the way out. Come back to your body. Come back to your breath. You can gently just place your hands on top of your heart space, on top of your chest. From me to you. Thank you so much for joining, always an honor and privilege to share my meditation practice with you. So thank you so much everybody and have a beautiful day further.
