When the Mind Says “This Shouldn’t Be Happening”: A Guided Meditation


Listen Later

“This shouldn’t be happening.”
It’s one of the mind’s most automatic reactions.
To stress.
To noise.
To discomfort.
To unexpected moments life places in front of us.

In this episode of the Awareness Podcast, Jody Agard gently explores what happens when we stop resisting what’s arising… and begin noticing the deeper peace that remains underneath the reaction.
This guided meditation becomes an invitation to let everything arise naturally; the thoughts, emotions, sensations, resistance, even the sense of “me”, without needing to fix, suppress, or control any of it.

This meditation may support you if you’re experiencing:

  • Overthinking
  • Emotional overwhelm
  • Stress or anxiety
  • Frustration with life circumstances
  • Mental noise or racing thoughts
  • Resistance to what’s happening
  • Spiritual awakening or self-inquiry
  • A longing for deeper peace and acceptance

This isn’t about becoming emotionless. It’s about recognizing that what you truly are remains untouched beneath every passing experience.

✨ Another way to go deeper…
Every moment of life reflects a deeper choice — love or fear. In his new two-part live series, “LOVE OR FEAR, THE CHOICE IS YOURS,” Oliver Blue guides a powerful exploration into the two root perceptions that shape all experience. You’ll begin to recognize fear as a learned pattern — not who you are — and discover how to meet life with greater clarity, peace, and freedom. Because beneath every struggle, every story, and every moment of contraction… love has been present all along. The choice is simple. The experience is Infinite.
