Transcripts

Unknown:

Hello, and

Unknown:

welcome to the verandas experience. I'm your host

Unknown:

Aurora. And this is a second meditation I will be posting for

Unknown:

you. How did the first meditation go? Was it hard? Was

Unknown:

it frustrating? Was it actually really easy and way better than

Unknown:

you expected? Did you get into that deep, calming soothing

Unknown:

energy of yours. In this episode, today, I will be a

Unknown:

little more minimalistic. What I mean by that is, I will be

Unknown:

quiet, I will make space, you can imagine it as a gap between

Unknown:

thoughts, gap between reaction reactions or situations that we

Unknown:

face in daily life. Because tomorrow or the day after, or

Unknown:

even today, I want you to think about that meditation that you

Unknown:

sat through. And just feel that energy one more time that comes

Unknown:

to the energy. And then maybe next time something triggers you

Unknown:

really gets you upset. Before you react, you think about what

Unknown:

you felt in your little meditation here. And this works

Unknown:

wonders, it was a game changer for me. And this is why I want

Unknown:

to share this with you. Maybe give you a little shortcut took

Unknown:

me quite some time to apply it. For you to have a happier more

Unknown:

content life. Okay, as last time, you might be hearing the

Unknown:

fire in the background. By the way, I have a fire and my bag

Unknown:

that is warming me. I'm in the Rocky Mountains here in Canada

Unknown:

and it's a deep winter it's very cold outside, and I'm in the

Unknown:

warmth inside. So I will be sitting you decide for yourself

Unknown:

what is best for you today, you can lay down, open up your palms

Unknown:

to the ceiling. Your arms a little bit further apart like

Unknown:

not right alongside your body but a little further apart. Or

Unknown:

you can sit and when you decide to sit, I want you to go into

Unknown:

easy seats or where your feet are kind of crossed in front of

Unknown:

you. Without your knees hurting Of course, you can also sit on a

Unknown:

pillow that would elevate you a little bit and help you to avoid

Unknown:

knee pain. And then again feel into your sit bones, your

Unknown:

pelvis. Imagine your pelvis being immiscible and then you

Unknown:

slightly tip it down to the ground. So you make an arch with

Unknown:

your lower back and your belly kind of rounds out kind of

Unknown:

access to the front of the room. When you sitting here I want you

Unknown:

to decide if you want to have your palms facing up to the

Unknown:

ceiling for more of a receiving intention. Or you let your hands

Unknown:

rest on your thighs for a more grounding sensation.

Unknown:

Okay, so after you have the right position of your pelvis,

Unknown:

maybe you can shrug your shoulders up to the years and

Unknown:

back and then let them relax. Before we tune into our breath,

Unknown:

I want you to focus on the muscles around your ears and

Unknown:

your eyes and your forehead. your jaw a lot of the time we

Unknown:

run around with clenched teeth. So now you adjusted your pelvis.

Unknown:

You had your shoulders up and back. Your muscles along your

Unknown:

spine are deeply relaxed. And now just to stretch out your

Unknown:

neck. I want you to tuck your chin very slightly, not much and

Unknown:

it's just To extend your neck. And what I didn't mention in my

Unknown:

first episode of meditations, is, it is totally up to you. If

Unknown:

you keep your eyes open or closed. For some people, the

Unknown:

more senses we shut off. So be it sound. Vision. Of course,

Unknown:

taste not so much. Touch, not so much. But if you want to close

Unknown:

your eyes, if that's comfortable for you, then please go ahead.

Unknown:

Once again, check in that your muscles around the eyes are nice

Unknown:

and relaxed. Like a real resting bitchface. Yeah.

Unknown:

And then tune in to your breath. Maybe imagine a white light

Unknown:

going up your spine every time you breathe in fresh air.

Unknown:

And a blue light going down the spine when you exhale. Time,

Unknown:

inhale, exhale, blue light. We all have very different rhythms

Unknown:

of breathing. So might be very irritating for you, if I tell

Unknown:

you to breathe in six, exhale, six. But I want us to try this

Unknown:

today. So you will be breathing in, I will be counting and you

Unknown:

will be exhaling and I will be counting. So inhale 123456 hold

Unknown:

a little. And then exhale 654321. That was one example.

Unknown:

That is one two I want to give you when you sit there you have

Unknown:

the comfortable position. You let your thoughts float. Then

Unknown:

you can play these breathing games. And it's very, very

Unknown:

fascinating how if you really challenge yourself, and let's

Unknown:

say count until 10, inhale. And then 10 exhale, how when your

Unknown:

body gets into that challenging mode, trying to struggling to

Unknown:

get to that 10 Your mind will kick in right away like oh my

Unknown:

God, why do we do this? Can we stop this? Can we do something

Unknown:

else? Why am I actually doing this. And meditation is when you

Unknown:

actually push through. You focus on that number you want to reach

Unknown:

and you will reach. So we go back to our breath now. Now you

Unknown:

have two tools, you can visualize a color going up and

Unknown:

down your spine.

Unknown:

Or you can count and whatever comes up in your mind, you just

Unknown:

push aside and you focus on those colors on those numbers.

Unknown:

Very good. And now parallel to that I want you to notice how

Unknown:

relaxed do you feel? Do you feel irritated by these tools I gave

Unknown:

you? Or does it actually feel really good to just have your

Unknown:

body

Unknown:

and your soul and your mind focused on one thing Period now

Unknown:

if you want to feel this space around you, they feel

Unknown:

comfortable for you. If you were sitting, I want you to lay down

Unknown:

onto your back.

Unknown:

Make yourself comfortable but one hand onto your chest, one on

Unknown:

your belly and deeply. thank yourself for the piece.

Unknown:

undivided attention you gave yourself today. And I don't know

Unknown:

how the rest of your day looks like you might have to rush to

Unknown:

work or go for groceries or make an uncomfortable phone call.

Unknown:

Doesn't really matter.

Unknown:

Please remember that deep peace you feel right now with yourself

Unknown:

and take it out into the world.

Unknown:

Namaste de Thank you so, so much for listening to my second

Unknown:

meditation here on the Borealis experience. I'm your host

Unknown:

Aurora, and I hope I was able to bring you some peace and

Unknown:

connection to yourself today. I'm sending my love your way.

Unknown:

Thank you for spending time with me today. And if you'd like that

Unknown:
