Healing & Safe Place
Stream of Letting Go
A small clear stream. Place into it whatever you have been carrying; watch the water carry it gently away.
Stream of Letting Go uses a small clear stream that runs nearby. You place whatever you are carrying into the water and then watch it flow away.
The session spends its time on this simple exchange and the movement of the current.
You stand beside a small clear stream where the water moves in one direction only. The ground is solid and the water is quick, carrying whatever you place into it.
There is no need to push or to steer, only to watch the current take the surface and everything on it.
What’s in it
A small clear stream, where you can place what you carry and watch it flow away.
Why do it
Water flows and carries, offering a natural metaphor for letting go and releasing tension.

AwakeningStage 42 min
Calm Alert Awakening

Where it sits
A sanctuary, a healing temple, a forgiveness garden, a kept-quiet place.
Why going here does anything
The stream spends its time carrying things away, which gives your mind a single simple motion to follow.
Watching something move downstream is an easy task, and a mind occupied with an easy task is not holding on to anything else. The water does the work of taking things further from you.

Hypnosis is not for everyone. If you have epilepsy, a psychotic illness, or you are under psychiatric care, talk to your clinician before using this — here or anywhere.
