Overcoming Limiting Beliefs: Recognize + Release + Replace Guided Meditation
Recognize • Release • Replace: The Energy Reset Method
Limiting beliefs often whisper quietly in the background — “I can’t,” “I’m not ready,” “what if I fail?” — shaping our actions and emotions before we even notice.
This guided meditation and affirmation practice helps you shift that energy through a simple, powerful process:
Recognize what’s holding you back.
Release what no longer serves you.
Replace it with the energy you want to welcome into your life.
This is the heart of the Recognize • Release • Replace Method, a core Ivy + Light practice designed to help you realign your mind, body, and energy with your true potential.
A Guided Meditation for Overcoming Limiting Beliefs
In this gentle releasing and replacing journey, Erin leads you through a series of affirmations and visualization steps that help you acknowledge limiting patterns, release them with compassion, and consciously invite new energy in their place.
Whether you’re navigating emotional healing, personal growth, or simply ready to clear mental clutter, this meditation brings your thoughts and energy back into harmony.

Recognize — Identify the belief, emotion, or thought that keeps surfacing. Notice where you feel it in your body and how it affects your energy.
Release — Place one hand on your heart, one on your head, and say:
“I release [insert limiting belief] which no longer serves me in a positive and productive manner.”
Repeat three times, breathing deeply as you let it go.Replace — Choose the energy you want to embody instead.
“I choose [energy]. I believe [energy]. I manifest [energy].”
Let your words carry truth and conviction as you visualize that vibration filling your being.
Repeat daily, or anytime you feel yourself slipping into an old mindset.
