Guided Meditation to Stop Striving & Fin...

Raphael Reiter
About this episode

Welcome to this deeply calming guided meditation for self-transcendence, inspired by the timeless wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh:

“You don’t have to chase after anything. You don’t have to become anything. You only need to return to yourself.”

This meditation will help you stop strivinglet go of pressure, and reconnect with the simple, peaceful presence already within you. In a world constantly pushing us to “do more” and “be more,” this practice is a radical return to stillness.

Instead of chasing future happiness or ideal versions of yourself, you will learn to rest in your true nature—right here, right now.

By using sound as an anchor, this session gently guides you out of the thinking mind and into a state of presence, helping you access clarity, calm, and deep relaxation.

🧘‍♀️ In This Meditation, You’ll Experience:
✔ A reflection on Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings on presence and being
✔ A practice to release striving, effort, and self-judgment
✔ Sound-based guidance to quiet the mind and return to the now
✔ A transcendence experience beyond thought and identity

🌟 This Meditation Helps You:
✅ Let go of pressure to become or achieve
✅ Return to your natural state of awareness
✅ Reduce anxiety, striving, and overthinking
✅ Discover the peace that comes from simply being
