A guided meditation led by Dr. Nicole Cain presenting a "radical acknowledgment" mantra and practice. The script guides listeners through three core phases: Acknowledgment (accepting reality, sensations, and symptoms), Release (letting go of control over circumstances and others), and Replenishment (welcoming peace, clarity, calm, and rest) using breath and mindful statements.

The radical acknowledgment mantra, freedom, life, love and healing is in my cells in this moment, in this breath. To acknowledge, to accept, to fully be in my body, in this place is the key to a life beyond imagination. I look within myself and I listen. Softly, gently, I exhale. I release the need to control my circumstances, dances, harmony, melody and oxygen. I inhale, filling my lungs, my heart, my mind and my spirit. I am whole. I honor the process. I honor my parts. I honor release, thoughtful, revolutionary, complete. I attend to my thoughts, my needs, whether met or unmet, and I release. And so begins the radical acknowledgment mantra. The Circle starts with acknowledgment, then we release and then completes with replenishment. Acknowledgment I acknowledge reality as it is, even though it may be painful. I know that a key towards healing is accepting the past and the present, even if I don't like them. I acknowledge that life can be worth living even if it is painful. I acknowledge that resisting and rejecting the facts will not change them. I can hold acceptance and accountability in each hand. I acknowledge every single whisper and shout from my being. I acknowledge that what I deny will amplify and what I resist will persist. I acknowledge. I acknowledge that acceptance is in each step towards freedom. I acknowledge that by suppressing my symptoms, they will become louder in service to me. I acknowledge that in order to change reality, I must first accept reality. I acknowledge that symptoms are my body and mind's attempts at telling me something's wrong. I acknowledge that by mindfully attending to my symptoms, I am creating an opportunity to heal. Release whatever I am dealing with, I release the need to control or change it. Whomever I am dealing with, I release the need to control or change them. Whatever I am afraid of, I release the need to control or change it. I pause, I breathe. Breathe and I listen. And with each thought, each sensation, I acknowledge and I release. I pause, I breathe and I listen. And with each thought, each sensation, I acknowledge and I release replenishment. I allow a soft smile to form at my lips and I breathe. I welcome all of the wonderful things that are meant for me. I welcome peace. I welcome clarity. I welcome calm. I welcome each thought. I welcome each sensation. I welcome each feeling and I welcome rest, sa.
