Meditation Technique – Let Go and Let God
I learnt this meditation technique while I was listening to one of the personal development tapes of Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.
I changed it a little bit to suit me better, and here I will share my version with you which I do use frequently.
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has been a great source of inspiration and knowledge in my life and his self improvement books and tapes have always helped me gain new insights about life.
I highly recommend his books to you, and since we are talking about meditation techniques, I will suggest that you take a look at Dr. Wayne Dyer’s wonderful Audio Book (affiliate link) Meditations for Manifesting : Morning and Evening Meditations to Literally Create Your Heart’s Desire.
This meditation technique is a simple and effective technique that helps you in directing your conscious attention away from what might be troubling you and toward an empowering, peaceful and calm mental state.
In your day to day life you may find yourself in a disturbing situation over which you may not have a direct control. For instance your flight is delayed while you are on the way to an important business meeting, or someone insults you without any provocation from your side at all, or while you are on your way back home after a tiring day at the office, the traffic drives you crazy.
How do you react usually in those moments of utter frustration and anxiety?
This meditation technique is simply another way of managing those moments in an empowering manner.
Uncommon Meditation Technique – Let Go and Let God
Just take a few deep breaths and calm your nerves.
Now imagine a cinema screen in your minds eye. Imagine a beautiful blue, slightly cloudy sky and see it on your mental cinema’s screen as clearly as you can.
As you focus your attention on it see your problem, whatever that might be, appearing as a small black dot on that screen.
Now over impose the word GOD, written in white color, on top of that black dot, in a way that the O in the word GOD overwrites itself over that black dot.
Now imagine the word GOD getting bigger and bigger till it covers the whole screen. There is no black dot left.
Slowly the alphabets, G and D they move out of the screen, on left and right, and all that is left is O or Zero.
Zero for the nullification of everything. The only numeral that is indivisible like divinity. The symbol of infinity. The symbol of everything and nothing, existing at the same time.
While you do it let the disturbing factor fade away under the brilliance of this symbol of divinity, and understand that sometimes we do not know the reasons behind the situations that disturb us, but in the bigger picture that really doesn’t matter at all.
Everything is in its place and everything is perfect, even the things that you do not understand. Let go and Let God.

Sunny,
I’ve heard of the phrase “Let go and let God” before though always as a word of advice, rather than a specific technique. It’s great that you can show exactly how to do this meditation. Very practical and sound advice. I’m enjoying this series on different types of meditation because you explain so clearly and simply what to do that anyone can do it. Great work!
Hi Sunny
I love this topic. “Let go and let God.” So much wisdom in this, we can’t control everything. A good friend of mine use to have his computer password as “God’s will” And he said that is a great way for him to start the day and to remember to let go and let God.
Thank you.

Sunny, like you knew I needed that
. Great post!
Abubakar: Thanks for this post. I am a big Wayne Dyer fan, but have never listened to that audio book. I am definitely going to have to check it out. I thought that was a great meditation you shared. It really puts into perspective how small your problems really are and probably is also a great tool that prevents you from getting too caught up in them. I think that is one of the easiest traps to fall into … to get too absorbed into your problems so that they suck you in. I like this meditation because it allows you to reset and put everything into perspective. Thanks for sharing it.
Yeah Sibyl, I fund this to be a wonderful meditation to keep things in perspective. Give it a shot and you might find that it comes in handy quite often. Reboots your mind.
Abubakar,
I found you from Sibyl's blog but I usually see you in comment sections of many blogs I also read so had to had by and say hello.
I think meditation is great way to let go tension, although I do it, but not as often as I like with 2 small kids. I am intrigued to learn about visualizing GOD and its effect. I must say I will have to try it out next time when I get a chance.
Preeti welcome to the blog.
Glad to meet another Gemini trying to balance her heart and mind (although I think it more applies to Librans).
I checked your blog http://www.happyheartandmind.com/ and found it to be interesting so I'll be heading over there to read more of what you write about.
Well trust me I understand that meditating with 2 small kids is another kind of "meditation" in itself. Since I also have 2 kids, I know how they can really make me feel like going to a cave for a few hours and meditate for a long time.
Abubakar, I am tempted to try this next time I meditate – and I have never heard of this technique before so if I end up becoming a Goddess after I am done meditating, it's all your fault, ok?
!
Great post…..thank you!
Try it and don't worry I accept full responsibility of your becoming a Goddess on one condition that you will not forget us "mortals" after you become one.
On a serious note, this meditation does work for me and I usually do it when I feel that I am losing control and every thing is just rushing towards me. It centers and grounds me in some mysterious way.
