Meditation No. 5: Let the Past Stay Behind — A Practice of Release and Renewal

Welcome to Let Them Go: Guided Meditations for Choosing Yourself — a journey into self-trust, peace, and the quiet power of self-love.

In Meditation No. 5: Let the Past Stay Behind, you’re invited to gently release what no longer serves you — not by force, but with presence, breath, and compassion.

When the past feels heavy — full of memory, emotion, regret, or identity — we often carry it unknowingly. This session offers a space to lay it down. Not to forget, not to erase, but to stop clinging.

This is not theory.

This is not a mindset shift.

This is a lived, embodied practice — a tender returning to the now.

You’ll be guided through the ancient Anapanasati technique — mindfulness of breath — as taught in the Vipassana tradition, anchoring your awareness in the body, in the breath, in this moment. As thoughts of the past arise, you’ll learn to meet them like clouds in a vast sky: present, but passing.

A subtle soundscape of tuning forks supports nervous system regulation, creating an inner atmosphere of stillness, softness, and surrender.

With support from the timeless wisdom of Heraclitus —

“No man ever steps in the same river twice…”

—and the Buddha —

“You only lose what you cling to” —

this meditation becomes an act of quiet liberation.

You do not need to carry your old self to move forward.

Let each breath remind you:

You are not your memories.

You are not what happened.

You are who is breathing now.
