Part 1 of the Let Them Go Vipassana Meditations series
Welcome to Let Them Go: Guided Meditations for Choosing Yourself.
In Meditation No. 1: Let Them Criticize, you're invited to release the weight of judgment and criticism from others. Words can wound, but they do not define your truth.
This session draws from Vipassana, the tradition of deep insight, guiding you back to your calm, steady center. You'll practice Anapanasati - mindful awareness of breath - to help anchor in the present moment and loosen the grip of others' opinions.
As you breathe in, feel grounded and whole. As you breathe out, release what is not yours to carry. This moment is yours - a space of stillness, honesty, and healing.
We've included a tuning forks soundscape, chosen for its ability to regulate the nervous system, reduce mental chatter, and support deep energetic balance - allowing your body and mind to settle with greater ease and clarity.
Through gentle, focused breathing, you'll build an unshakable inner worth, independent of others' views. You'll learn to witness without absorbing, and to let go without defending or proving.
This is a quiet rebellion - a return to your truth, peace, and self-acceptance. When you choose yourself, you free others too. No more shrinking. No more explaining. Just you, at peace in your own presence.
Let each breath guide you back to your own voice - calm, wise, and free. Let the breath lead you home.

Part 2 of the Let Them Go Vipassana Meditations series
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. 2: Let Them Not Respond, you're invited to embrace the silence - not as rejection, but as a return to yourself.
When responses don't come, the mind can spiral into doubt. This practice helps you pause, soften, and listen inward - reminding you that peace is not found in their answers, but in your own presence.
This is not theory.
This is not an intellectual game.
This is a practitioner's challenge - a lived invitation to stay with discomfort, meet your own mind, and choose presence over pursuit.
This session draws from Vipassana, the tradition of deep insight, guiding you back to your calm, steady center.
You'll practice the ancient Anapanasati technique (from Buddha) - mindful awareness of breath - as taught by the Buddha, to anchor in the now and loosen the grip of needing a reply.
A gentle soundscape of tuning forks supports the process - selected to help regulate the nervous system, quiet mental noise, and restore energetic balance.
Through slow, conscious breathing, you'll begin to release the urge to fix, chase, or explain. You'll return instead to your own body, your own rhythm, your own truth.
This is a quiet homecoming - a tender act of self-respect and love.
A moment to stop reaching, and start receiving yourself.
Let them go in silence. Let them stay distant. Let them not respond.
Let the silence teach you.
Let each breath remind you: you are enough.
Let the breath lead you home.

Meditation No. 3: Let Them Choose Others - Finding Peace in Rejection.
A practice for releasing the pain of not being chosen and returning to the quiet power within.
This session invites you to face rejection - not as a wound to fix, but as an opportunity to choose yourself.
When others walk away or choose someone else, the mind can spiral. This meditation gently guides you back to center, reminding you: their decision is not your definition.
You'll be led through grounding breathwork and a full body scan, anchored in the ancient Anapanasati technique - mindfulness of breath - from the Vipassana tradition. As thoughts arise, you'll practice meeting them with compassion, letting go without bitterness.
This isn't about giving up. It's a practice of sovereignty - reclaiming your self-worth without needing external validation.
A calming soundscape of tuning forks supports nervous system regulation and inner balance, allowing you to soften into peace.
Reflections from Stoic and Taoist philosophy offer deeper insight:
"It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters." – Epictetus
"When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be." – Lao Tzu
Let them choose others. Let them go. And in that space - choose yourself.
Let each breath remind you: You are whole. You are enough. You are free.

Welcome to Let Them Go: Guided Meditations for Choosing Yourself - a journey into self-trust, peace, and the quiet power of self-love.
Now, in Meditation No. 4: Let Them Irritate, you're invited to face agitation, discomfort, and provocation - not as something to resist, but as a reminder of the calm that already lives within you.
This session invites you to meet irritation - not as a failure of peace, but as an opportunity to practice presence without control.
When others disturb your rhythm or poke at your stillness, the body contracts and the mind reacts. This meditation gently guides you back to awareness, reminding you: irritation is not your identity.
You'll be led through breath-focused awareness and subtle grounding techniques, anchored in the ancient Anapanasati method - mindfulness of breath - from the Vipassana tradition. As irritation arises, you'll learn to soften the grip, observe without judgment, and return to calm.

A calming soundscape of tuning forks supports nervous system regulation, helping you settle deeper into inner steadiness.
Let them irritate. Let them be. And in that space - choose yourself.
Let each breath remind you: You are steady. You are calm. You are free.

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.
