Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown: 00:00:08

experience. I'm your host Aurora, and I'm very happy to be

Unknown: 00:00:13

spending some time with you today.

Unknown: 00:00:16

I hope you're doing well. It is November, it is a DAG month, it

Unknown: 00:00:23

is a month that might bring up some old stuff that we urgently

Unknown: 00:00:31

need to let go. It is a munstead is a little bit slower and pace,

Unknown: 00:00:42

a little bit darker and sunlight. And that affects of

Unknown: 00:00:47

psyche intensely. What I like to do in the winter months is to

Unknown: 00:00:54

amp up my vitamin intake a little bit because I'm prone to

Unknown: 00:01:00

winter depression. And that seems to be helping. I also have

Unknown: 00:01:05

a very rigid routine when it comes to walking. Walking just

Unknown: 00:01:12

20 minutes a day, at your own pace. Doesn't have to be uphill

Unknown: 00:01:18

or downhill can improve your mental health drastically, and

Unknown: 00:01:25

your physical health not only your heart and your respiratory

Unknown: 00:01:33

system, but also your lymphatic system. your lymphatic system is

Unknown: 00:01:39

helping you to detox to get rid of stuff that your body is

Unknown: 00:01:45

secreting and doesn't need anymore. And it is only

Unknown: 00:01:49

functioning once we move. And walking is a very good way of

Unknown: 00:01:57

getting your fluids moving. The lymphatic system only works

Unknown: 00:02:04

through the muscle pump in your calves, for instance. And, yeah,

Unknown: 00:02:13

it is really, really important during those months to know that

Unknown: 00:02:17

yeah, darkness might come over us but there is tools that we

Unknown: 00:02:21

can use to help ourselves. I'm also a life coach now. And I'm

Unknown: 00:02:30

more than happy to help you to Yeah, give you more specific

Unknown: 00:02:36

tools to your life to your situation. Maybe you are a mom

Unknown: 00:02:41

and overwhelmed with having to do at all maybe you are a

Unknown: 00:02:46

husband and overwhelmed with balancing work and family. Maybe

Unknown: 00:02:51

you are single and desperate to find the right partner and you

Unknown: 00:02:56

just want to manifest a good person into your life. I would

Unknown: 00:03:01

gladly help you on your journey. Whatever it is, so don't

Unknown: 00:03:07

hesitate. You can contact me on Facebook, Aurora Eggert or

Unknown: 00:03:12

Aurora Eggert coaching, and then we can make a plan. So taking

Unknown: 00:03:20

really good care of yourself during those winter months is

Unknown: 00:03:23

key. Sometimes we can rely on our friends and we have a strong

Unknown: 00:03:29

support system. And we can cry on our neighbor's shoulders or

Unknown: 00:03:34

call up our sister or a brother. But sometimes they're busy

Unknown: 00:03:39

sometimes they are overwhelmed themselves. And it is important

Unknown: 00:03:45

to know for ourselves that we can rely on us that yes, we have

Unknown: 00:03:53

other people around us who can help us but we can help

Unknown: 00:03:57

ourselves too. So another way of really making you feel good is

Unknown: 00:04:04

taking baths. And if you don't have a bathtub, taking a shower

Unknown: 00:04:09

with the intention to wash off stuff that you don't need

Unknown: 00:04:14

anymore. And if you have a bath, just soak in it as long as it

Unknown: 00:04:18

feels good with some Epsom salt in it and really let go and

Unknown: 00:04:24

relax that your body totally relax. You know our body is our

Unknown: 00:04:31

best friend who I love to say and the better, more comfortable

Unknown: 00:04:36

our body fields, the better our soul and our mind fields because

Unknown: 00:04:42

it is all interacting. Your body has sensors. Your body has five

Unknown: 00:04:49

senses. Some people have six and everything that we take in from

Unknown: 00:04:54

our environment affects not only the body, but also your mind And

Unknown: 00:05:01

you're so your heart, your emotions. So the better you take

Unknown: 00:05:07

care of your body, the better you're going to feel overall.

Unknown: 00:05:12

And sometimes we have to be a little bit of an detective and

Unknown: 00:05:16

find out, did I really give my body everything it needs in

Unknown: 00:05:21

order for me to feel good? It is winter now, where we live in

Unknown: 00:05:26

North America? Am I adjusting my pace? And am I adjusting my

Unknown: 00:05:31

nutrients and my lifestyle to this darker season? Or am I

Unknown: 00:05:37

still trying to push through and get it all done and and you

Unknown: 00:05:43

know, have that sun energy that summer energy going on, we can

Unknown: 00:05:48

use this time of the year to reflect, to relax, to release,

Unknown: 00:05:57

and to let go. And if we do that intentionally, it doesn't feel

Unknown: 00:06:02

like things are people are being ripped away from our lives. It

Unknown: 00:06:06

feels more like a gentle letting go. It feels more like yes, this

Unknown: 00:06:14

is supposed to happen. This is the leaves of a tree that are

Unknown: 00:06:19

supposed to fall onto the ground. And it is a very, very

Unknown: 00:06:26

important process. I feel because we declutter, we let go,

Unknown: 00:06:32

we go into winter, we're a little bit more quiet, a little

Unknown: 00:06:36

bit more introverted, maybe, and then come spring, we will be

Unknown: 00:06:41

full of energy, we will only be carrying what we're supposed to

Unknown: 00:06:46

be carrying around. And I think it's a it's a very beautiful

Unknown: 00:06:52

season to be in. But we have to approach it mindfully. It is

Unknown: 00:07:00

also important to not get sucked into any weird expectations when

Unknown: 00:07:06

it comes to Christmas. Any weird pressures from society side. And

Unknown: 00:07:13

this is how it's meant to be this is how it's supposed to be

Unknown: 00:07:16

and not differently. You know, that kind of vibe. It is very

Unknown: 00:07:20

important to be a little bit introspective and to really

Unknown: 00:07:24

know, what is it that I need? What is it that I aspire? What

Unknown: 00:07:29

is it that I want? And then look around me and you and see the

Unknown: 00:07:36

people that you deeply care about? What is it that they want

Unknown: 00:07:40

and need? How can we connect, but at the same time being very

Unknown: 00:07:48

authentic and not giving into some weird Christmas

Unknown: 00:07:54

expectations. A lot of people come Black Friday are very

Unknown: 00:08:00

hysterical when it comes to Christmas, gift buying. And

Unknown: 00:08:04

maybe that's not your style, maybe that's not your way to

Unknown: 00:08:08

show and express your love. And it is totally fine. Maybe you

Unknown: 00:08:13

have a different way of expressing love. And then go for

Unknown: 00:08:20

it. Don't suppress it. Don't be shy. Because we all want to

Unknown: 00:08:25

connect, we all need each other. Right? So it is important to

Unknown: 00:08:31

find out who you are, in order to make the right decisions for

Unknown: 00:08:37

yourself for yourself. This just one and for your relationships.

Unknown: 00:08:44

Be kind to yourself, be gentle. And know that yes, darkness

Unknown: 00:08:52

might come up. But it is okay. You're not alone in this. We're

Unknown: 00:08:58

all in this together. We all feel the darkness creeping up on

Unknown: 00:09:03

us. We all feel the uncertainty and the weirdness that COVID has

Unknown: 00:09:10

brought into our lives. We're all trying to do the best for us

Unknown: 00:09:15

and for our families. So let us not only be gentle with

Unknown: 00:09:21

ourselves, but also with others and know that everybody has

Unknown: 00:09:26

their story. Everybody has their reasoning. And the more we ask

Unknown: 00:09:32

gentle questions, the more we can make sense of other people's

Unknown: 00:09:37

situations and decision making. Making assumptions having

Unknown: 00:09:42

opinions is a natural given. That's where we love to be in

Unknown: 00:09:53

yeah in a state of having an opinion and making assumptions

Unknown: 00:09:57

and bonding through opinions and assumptions. But it is not

Unknown: 00:10:02

always a smart way when it comes to wanting to connect with

Unknown: 00:10:07

people. Sometimes we have to make the decision. Do we want to

Unknown: 00:10:12

connect? Or do we want to be right?

Unknown: 00:10:15

And before the holidays, before all these Christmas gatherings,

Unknown: 00:10:22

let us set that intention. Be intentional about it. If you

Unknown: 00:10:27

want to be right, no matter what, and you don't care about

Unknown: 00:10:30

the relationships and you want kind of, you know, stand up for

Unknown: 00:10:35

yourself and test your relationships, then don't get me

Unknown: 00:10:39

wrong, I'm all for it. And that energy is totally cool too. But

Unknown: 00:10:44

maybe you feel lonely, maybe you want deep connections. And then

Unknown: 00:10:48

having your opinions and assumptions right in front of

Unknown: 00:10:52

you. You know, carrying them like a shield is not going to

Unknown: 00:10:56

make you connect deeply with people. So be tender. Let go of

Unknown: 00:11:02

stuff, let go of opinions and assumptions. If it feels right

Unknown: 00:11:08

for you at the moment if you feel that it takes away tension.

Unknown: 00:11:13

And enjoy those more darker and slower months. There's always

Unknown: 00:11:22

two sides of a coin, right? The darker month don't only bring

Unknown: 00:11:28

pain and weakness and depression. They can also have

Unknown: 00:11:32

very healing sides to themselves. Thank you so much
