Racing Raindrops: A Meditation on Thoughts, Self, and Acceptance

In this 25-minute guided meditation, you’ll be invited to rest with the image of raindrops sliding down a windowpane. Some drops fall quickly, some slowly, some merge together just like the thoughts and feelings that pass through the mind. This practice is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and touches on all six ACT processes in gentle, experiential ways: - Defusion – seeing thoughts as raindrops, not truths. - Acceptance – allowing the weather to be what it is. - Self-as-Context – discovering that you are the one inside, observing. - Present-Moment Awareness – grounding in breath, body, and sensation. - Values – looking beyond the window, to what matters most. - Committed Action – choosing the steps you’ll take when the rain clears. With a calm narrative, grounding pauses, and poetic imagery, this meditation will help you: - Loosen the grip of racing thoughts - Find perspective and calm in the present moment - Reconnect with your deeper values and direction All you need is a quiet space, a comfortable posture, and a willingness to watch the raindrops fall. Take a breath, settle in, and let the rain teach you. __________________________________________________________________________________00:00 - 00:25 Opening00:25 - 01:21 Preamble01:21 - 26:12 Guided Meditation__________________________________________________________________________________I’m Aidan Byrne, a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist specialising in stress relief and sleep support for professionals in high-pressure careers.
