Letting Go of Wanting: A Guided Meditation
Episode 46
Friday, 3 October, 2025
Most of us come to meditation because we want something—peace, clarity, or even awakening itself. While natural, this approach can carry a subtle trap: meditation becomes another project of the separate self, another way of trying to get something for “me.”But true awakening isn’t about fixing or improving the self. It’s about loosening our identification with the self altogether.In this episode, Craig invites us into a guided meditation that explores what it means to let go of wanting in our practice. Instead of sitting with subtle agendas, hoping to feel a certain way or reach a particular state, we’re invited to meet this moment just as it is.The episode includes a full guided meditation, so we recommend listening at a time when you won’t be interrupted.If the podcast has been meaningful to you, please consider leaving a rating or review, and click “Follow” or “Subscribe” in your app—it helps us share this work with more people.To access the full transcript of this episode and discover more resources, visit the episode page on MeditationChangesEverything.com.
