Transcripts

Unknown:

Hey there, and welcome to the Borealis experience. I'm

Unknown:

your host Aurora, and today and specially

Unknown:

excited to be recreating an episode for you.

Unknown:

I know, it's been crazy this week, so many people reached out

Unknown:

to me and gave me feedback about this podcast. And I feel just

Unknown:

very, very touched. And feel like when I'm recording an

Unknown:

episode, I'm connecting with you at the same time.

Unknown:

And we have been going through a lot of stress here on the farm

Unknown:

in Canada at minus 40 degrees.

Unknown:

The water pipes froze. So for over a day now, I'm without

Unknown:

water. And to record this podcast just

Unknown:

gives me peace, and helps me to disconnect from Yeah, farm

Unknown:

stuff. So thank you so much.

Unknown:

Today, I got to thank you for this little time out here, I

Unknown:

hope you are in a good place, and can rest and relax into my

Unknown:

energy here. And if you're not in a good place, I hope I can

Unknown:

lift you up, make you feel okay. And yeah,

Unknown:

might just be a phase or a shitty day.

Unknown:

So, having to live without water for a little while now really

Unknown:

teaches me

Unknown:

how much I was taking water for granted. imagine not being able

Unknown:

to wash your hands, you can't even go to the bathroom because

Unknown:

you don't want the house starting to stink.

Unknown:

Of course, you don't have no water to drink.

Unknown:

You can't wash your fruit, or vegetables.

Unknown:

Yeah, washing your hands has been the worst for me because of

Unknown:

COVID and wanting to be cautious. So it's been very,

Unknown:

very interesting. And of course, taking a shower, washing your

Unknown:

hair is not possible either. So you rely heavily on not other

Unknown:

people, which is something I really, really dislike, to say

Unknown:

the least.

Unknown:

So today, it made me think what else am I taking for granted in

Unknown:

my life? And if it was gone from the one minute to the next.

Unknown:

What would I severely Miss or couldn't live without? And I

Unknown:

think it's very important to ask that question on a regular

Unknown:

because we tend to be so caught up with our daily lives with

Unknown:

watching the news and having opinions and judgments. And you

Unknown:

take the stuff that really gets you going that keeps you alive

Unknown:

for granted and are scattered all over the place.

Unknown:

Although it's all right in front of you, but you don't see it. So

Unknown:

what is it that you take for granted, and especially if

Unknown:

you're having a shit day, it is always good practice to think

Unknown:

about everything we have the abundance we live in, in order

Unknown:

to pull ourselves out of that miserable place again.

Unknown:

So I want to start with meaningful connections that you

Unknown:

have.

Unknown:

Of course food and water is most important shelter and good

Unknown:

sleep. But on an emotional level.

Unknown:

What keeps us healthy is meaningful relationships. So if

Unknown:

you're currently in a relationship, if you are

Unknown:

married, how grateful are you for your partner? Is it the

Unknown:

right match? And if yes, do you show them your appreciation,

Unknown:

your gratitude

Unknown:

and I don't want this episode to be like too heavily focused on

Unknown:

gratitude, but more on taking for granted.

Unknown:

So the opposite

Unknown:

side of gratis gratitude. If you look at your partner, did you

Unknown:

have a meaningful conversation lately?

Unknown:

Did you really listen to them and put yourself into their

Unknown:

place? Maybe you are in a long term relationship, and they keep

Unknown:

having the same problems. They keep having

Unknown:

the same stuff they bring up. Maybe they're naggy?

Unknown:

Is there something you can improve from your side? When it

Unknown:

comes to conversation? Can you maybe cut through the laggy

Unknown:

nagging, nagging? And see what is the deeper rooted cause of

Unknown:

the nagging?

Unknown:

Did you have a meaningful conversation lately, and if not,

Unknown:

I encourage you to have one and it doesn't matter.

Unknown:

Really what it is about it can be about something in your

Unknown:

childhood, or

Unknown:

like the happiest day in your life, or whatever you're

Unknown:

interested in. And maybe never asked your partner. So in order

Unknown:

to not make the other person feel taken for granted, a good

Unknown:

conversation can help to make you feel good about yourself,

Unknown:

too. and deepen the relationship.

Unknown:

Then, of course, water, how do you use water? in your life? Do

Unknown:

you just have a shower in the morning or in the evening? And

Unknown:

just make it quick and? and easy? Or do you actually

Unknown:

sometimes stand there, of course, without wasting tons of

Unknown:

water, but really relish in that feeling and know how rich you

Unknown:

are? Because you're able to take a shower whenever you want,

Unknown:

maybe even a bath? Do you truly enjoy and feel pleasure? When

Unknown:

you have that water running down your water your body?

Unknown:

And then drinking drinking water? Do you truly enjoy having

Unknown:

clean water to drink? Or do you just toss it down? Because the

Unknown:

doctor said you have to hydrate? And you have to drink a little

Unknown:

more when you exercise? Do you like just crammed on your cram

Unknown:

hole? Or do you actually see how precious water is and in the

Unknown:

future, there's not going to be wars over oil or gas, there's

Unknown:

going to be wars over fresh water supplies.

Unknown:

And then food how grateful how much for granted? Do you take

Unknown:

your food on your plate? Can you next time you have something to

Unknown:

eat. Just picture how that piece of food. And hopefully it's

Unknown:

something nice and nourishing and makes your tastebuds excited

Unknown:

how that food is being broken, broken down, sorry, into little

Unknown:

cells and those cells are going to run through your veins and

Unknown:

they're going to energize you and

Unknown:

your body is going to create tissue out of it.

Unknown:

Everything you ate so far in your life, made up body cells

Unknown:

that you are carrying around and that you might be seeing in the

Unknown:

mirror when you look into the mirror in the morning. So when

Unknown:

you eat and are aware of how your body is going to process

Unknown:

that and turn it into your skin cell your liver cell or your

Unknown:

whatever cell

Unknown:

it is going to make you appreciate the food more and I

Unknown:

think it's also on a subconscious level. Make you be

Unknown:

more mindful with how you pick your foods.

Unknown:

What else can we talk about when taking for granted? What about

Unknown:

transportation? Do you have a train and a bus out the door

Unknown:

that brings you to places where you want to go where you can go

Unknown:

during COVID What about a car if you own a car man You're so red.

Unknown:

You can go on road trips when COVID is over you can experience

Unknown:

such freedom without even asked for permission and having to

Unknown:

show a passport if you travel within your country.

Unknown:

What else can we think about the fresh air? Yes, I just opened my

Unknown:

windows here before

Unknown:

recording this episode and to breathe in that ice cold fresh

Unknown:

air and to feel my lungs filling in with that beautiful gas that

Unknown:

is going to nourish my body selves to and to feel refreshed

Unknown:

and energized, energized and knowing that

Unknown:

All these trees out there are producing

Unknown:

oxygen for me to breathe in, and I'm producing co2 for them to

Unknown:

take in and then help them produce oxygen again. And how

Unknown:

beautiful is that. And when you picture that,

Unknown:

how grateful can we be to have all these trees and plants out

Unknown:

there that supply

Unknown:

such precious substances for us, I don't know if you say

Unknown:

substance for oxygen, but I know you know what I mean.

Unknown:

So take that also not for granted, there's so many people

Unknown:

and huge cities that have to wear masks on a daily because

Unknown:

the smoke is so bad, the air is so bad to breathe in. So take a

Unknown:

deep breath and exhale and know that if you're having a shit

Unknown:

day, you can let that shit go now, and appreciate those very

Unknown:

simple things alive. But if you think about it, it is exactly

Unknown:

those things that keep us alive. And the more precious you look

Unknown:

at them even more precious you feel they are, the more your

Unknown:

body and your soul can take it in and make something good out

Unknown:

of it. And you can pull yourself out of your deep hole that you

Unknown:

might be sitting in. And if you are in a good place, it doesn't

Unknown:

hurt either.

Unknown:

Another thing that I want to

Unknown:

not take for granted in my life is music.

Unknown:

Today, I had a very dark day and yesterday and I was listening to

Unknown:

A Tribe Called Quest I was listening to Queens of the Stone

Unknown:

Age, I was listening to The Notorious BIG

Unknown:

Biggie

Unknown:

and his album with featuring Frank Sinatra. And few find a

Unknown:

song if you find music that is really matching your mood. And

Unknown:

that really makes you indulge in that weird mood you're in. It is

Unknown:

so healthy if you do that for a couple minutes or a couple hours

Unknown:

and then know that you can smile about that shitty face that

Unknown:

weird day you're having. And just know that there's more

Unknown:

people out there who go through days like that, and you're not

Unknown:

alone. And music, I find a such a magical tool to uplift you to

Unknown:

make you feel understood. And

Unknown:

so if you have CDs, if you have music download,

Unknown:

listen more to your music, and maybe even dance.

Unknown:

Check you your booty or just sit on the couch. And yeah, listen

Unknown:

to what those awesome artists have to say.

Unknown:

Yeah, I think those were the points that I wanted to talk

Unknown:

about today. And those are things that we take for granted,

Unknown:

for sure. And if they're gone from one day to the other

Unknown:

forever, then we first of all die. And second of all, our soul

Unknown:

might

Unknown:

diminish to a little piece of reason.

Unknown:

There might be way more things that you take for granted. And

Unknown:

then I haven't been mentioning here and that should be

Unknown:

mentioned. But I'm sure my brain will come up with something new

Unknown:

regarding that topic soon. And I'll just post it and spend

Unknown:

another episode

Unknown:

with you.

Unknown:

You will listen to the Borealis experience. Thank you so much

Unknown:

for letting me serve you. This way podcasting has become a huge

Unknown:

passion in my life. And I enjoy every minute every second.

Unknown:

I'm your host Aurora. And yeah, take really good care of

Unknown:

yourself. We need you out there. Bye bye.
