A Meditation on Letting Go

Some things are ready to be released. Others need more time. Michael guides you through a deeper exploration of letting go—not as forcing or pushing away, but as a natural process of opening your hands and heart. You'll learn to distinguish between what's ready to be released and what needs more time, plus a powerful practice for surrendering what no longer serves you. -- Follow Michael Galyon Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@michael.galyon⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠@lettingitsettle⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.michaelgalyon.com/⁠⁠ Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠connect@michaelgalyon.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ Making This Show Possible:  We are proud to be an ad-free podcast!

The Clockmaker's Silent Hour

Step into a cozy workshop where time moves at its own quiet pace. An old clockmaker works by the warm glow of candlelight, carefully tending to pocket watches and grandfather clocks as they tick in gentle harmony. The steady rhythm of his craft mingles with the soft chiming of hours past, creating a symphony of time that gradually slows as night deepens. This meditative story celebrates the peaceful ritual of working with your hands in the quiet hours. -- Follow Michael Galyon Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@michael.galyon⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠@lettingitsettle⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.michaelgalyon.com/⁠⁠ Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠connect@michaelgalyon.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ Making This Show Possible:  We are proud to be an ad-free podcast!

Drifting Down the Lazy River

Let yourself be carried away on the slowest, most peaceful current imaginable. This gentle story follows a leisurely float down a meandering river where time seems to stand still.
