If you feel you are walking on eggshells let go.

Letting go might seem like an impossible thing when you feel if you take the wrong step you will create what you do not want. Walking on eggshells is simply a cliché for stress being your 24/7 companion.
In meditation you part company from your companion and go into a peaceful lull where the left-brain can reorganize in silence and you right brain can revitalize. In the present moments of meditation you go beneath your thoughts and touch upon the core of your true self. With practice, you discover that place that is timeless and free of all fretful worry.
On those days when eggshells appear around every corner you turn, guided meditations can make it easier to go into that space and escape your thoughts held captive by your current problems. Guided into the present moment where you cannot continue to review the past or worry about the future, you can let go of the worry of braking eggshells under your feet.
It is fretful worry that creates those eggshells, so because there is no worry in meditation there are no eggshells. In meditation, you can let go of/release/liberate from the past and do the same with your focus on the future. When you weave daily meditation into your life, you are free to live and love fully, in your present moment. When you let go of all the days that have passed and those not yet here, you make room for the positive new that to come in the present moment. Your life is but a collection of present moments so imagine your life when you live and love fully in each present moment.
Allow your eyelids to close over your eyes and imagine yourself standing on the deck of a safe large ship on the open ocean. You have not place that you must be and nothing that you must do. The ocean looks the same this day as it did the day before Columbus sailed on it to find a new world. The ocean looks the same this day is it will on the day when there is public transportation into outer space. The ocean is a wonderful symbol for the present moment. In the present moment when there is no worry about the future or regrets about what happened in your past, there is not need to feel like you are walking on eggshells.
Close your eyes again and imagine the primal sound of gentle ocean waves lapping on the shore. That sound is not music that can be classified or dated. That sound is simply a timeless sound of the Earth. The same is rue is you decided to meditate using a mantra that is just a sound that requires no analyzing from your left-brain. Even your breath is a timeless sound as life on this planet has and will require breath.
In meditation as you to go into the stillness of standing on the deck of a safe ship floating peacefully on the timeless ocean you can find yourself blending. The blending is your atoms with the atoms around you and there is a sensation of floating. Floating like standing on that deck there is no one to judge you, and there is no need to judge yourself. In that present moment you are aware of the essence of the life around you, and you might even hear the sound of the seagulls soaring overhead. Nevertheless, in that present moment you have not need to analyze the seagulls, and there are none of their eggs in your path.
The way you live in the present moment does lay down stones for the path leading to our future, but stones can be moved. In the stillness of meditation those stones do not exist, so there is no worry as to which way your path is headed or if it is paved with eggshells.
In the present moment of meditation there are no emotions putting the left side of your brain on alert. In that peaceful lull, not only is your creativity allowed to surface, but also you can think more clearly when you return to your fully awake Beta state of mind. When you are thinking more clearly, your thoughts switch from eggshells to the actual priorities in your life. When your mind is not cluttered with stressful thoughts, you might discover treasures that were right in front of you.

Each of us has our own reality that determines how we act in all circumstances. Your reality is influenced by your education and those around you, but created by what you experience through your five senses and other senses classified under the title the sixth sense. Your reality can sometimes create eggshells, and in an awake state it can be difficult to change your reality. In meditation you can go beyond your reality to connect with the insight of our soul, and change that reality as best for you at that present moment.
In meditation we connect with our inner true self. It is the inner true self that created all the Einsteins, Mozarts, Picassoes, Gandhies, Mikao Usuis, Mother Teresas, and Martin Luther Kings of the world. There may well have been times when other people put eggshells in the paths of these people, but they were able to look beyond them to see their goals, and their solutions. When you are able to look beyond your problems the eggshells disappear.
If you run spell check on the paragraph above you will find every name is incorrect because it ends with the letter s. In meditation there is no spell check. Without rules as such editing, the creativity and rhythm of your right brain can awaken and bloom.
You might remember when you were young people telling you to count to 10. Counting to 10 is a pause, and pausing is a form of meditation. When you pause, as in meditation, you take a break from reacting to the words or actions of others. It is reacting that creates eggshells, but when you pause and act, your pathway is generally clear. Meditation is pausing, reorganizing, revitalizing, and then acting in the way that is best for you at that time, with a clear mind and no eggshells.
So the next time you feel like you are walking on eggshells, pause, go to a comfortable safe place, and meditate for 15 minutes. If you feel too stressed to go into that peaceful stillness on your own, than try listening to a guided meditation.
Daily meditation might seem a bit too disciplined. However, it is discipline that will allow you to see seagulls soaring over your head rather then their eggshells scattered in your path.
When you feel you must tread lightly in fear of breaking an eggshell, you can miss out on the beauty in life around you. So much better, when you are captivated by tranquility, peace and joy, which happens with daily meditation and Japanese style Usui Reiki Ryoho.
