Article Three – Key meditative statements exercise on “Letting go of the past”
How would repeating meditative statements help me to let go? Mediation is a practice used to calm and focus one’s mind. Repetition is an exercise used to reinforce a particular thought or habit. A combination of both mediation and repetition not only calm and focus your mind on thoughts and actions that you want to adopt into your conscious and unconscious thinking habits, it will help you to replace all unworthy “junks” you have been carrying within yourself.
This is the first of the exercises I will share with you in the following weeks to identify and let go of potentially harmful emotions and thoughts you have been filling yourself with.
Key Thought:
Holding too tight on what we have in the past or at present,
we cannot open up to receive other things coming to us.
Focus on each of the following sentence for 1 min. Repeat the sentence either aloud or in your mind for 10 times before moving on to another sentence. Finally, follow the instructions under “Reflections” and add your own statements. Repeat your “letting go” statements daily until next week’s article.
