Unknown: 00:00:43

Unknown: 00:00:47

long. I'm very excited to announce that in half an hour,

Unknown: 00:00:52

I'll be life with Shawn Dustin. And we will continue our podcast

Unknown: 00:01:02

episodes called non proud of our behavior, where we talk about

Unknown: 00:01:07

stuff that Yeah, we still feel guilty shame about and we just

Unknown: 00:01:14

want to air the dirty laundry and spirit and inspire you

Unknown: 00:01:18

Sorry, to maybe do the same or to know that you're not alone.

Unknown: 00:01:25

With this, carrying stuff around from the past that we're not

Unknown: 00:01:31

proud of. And today's episode I want to talk about or guide you

Unknown: 00:01:36

through a learn meditation. For when you feel overwhelmed, or

Unknown: 00:01:43

you feel like you're a failure. You're not successful in life,

Unknown: 00:01:49

and you don't know where life is going to bring you. So find a

Unknown: 00:01:54

comfortable seat or maybe lay down on the ground. Don't be

Unknown: 00:02:01

driving any vehicles or your bicycle. Don't be operating any

Unknown: 00:02:07

machinery. Be in a space where you feel safe and comfortable.

Unknown: 00:02:15

Now if you choose to sit, find a straight spine. So you adjust

Unknown: 00:02:24

your seat over your sit bones, you kind of roll them back and

Unknown: 00:02:27

forth, your lower back is a little bit arched. You can bring

Unknown: 00:02:32

your shoulders up and roll them all the way back. You can tuck

Unknown: 00:02:38

your chin slightly to elongate your neck and your hands can be

Unknown: 00:02:46

resting on your thighs. Your legs are in a gentle cross

Unknown: 00:02:53

legged position. And again, if you feel like laying down, just

Unknown: 00:02:58

lay down

Unknown: 00:03:00

let your body sink into the ground. Take a deep inhale in

Unknown: 00:03:08

and exhale. If you choose to close your eyes, relax the

Unknown: 00:03:23

muscles around your eyes. Relax your jaw, your forehead.

Unknown: 00:03:30

Very good.

Unknown: 00:03:34

Now you can place one hand on your heart and one hand on your

Unknown: 00:03:38

belly to create kind of a deeper connection to yourself. But you

Unknown: 00:03:44

can also choose to leave your hands on your thighs know that

Unknown: 00:03:51

you are enough. Know that sometimes the struggle is too

Unknown: 00:03:57

big. And you just got to let it go. And sit back and find

Unknown: 00:04:04

yourself again before you continue pushing. know that

Unknown: 00:04:11

you're not alone in this we all struggle at times we all doubt

Unknown: 00:04:15

ourselves. We all feel like a failure and times. Some are

Unknown: 00:04:22

quicker to push through and to just keep going and some people

Unknown: 00:04:27

just need a little bit of rest and resetting. Letting go maybe

Unknown: 00:04:33

even you've been trying so hard for so long. He might be

Unknown: 00:04:43

exhausted now. Maybe it is hard for you to pick up the phone and

Unknown: 00:04:49

call a friend. Maybe it is hard for you to be friendly and

Unknown: 00:04:55

compassionate. Maybe it is hard for you to listen to us. The

Unknown: 00:05:00

people because for once you want to be listened to, you're always

Unknown: 00:05:06

there for others.

Unknown: 00:05:16

Know that you are your best friend, know that you taking

Unknown: 00:05:20

this little bit of time today and being with yourself is the

Unknown: 00:05:24

medicine you need. You need to feel comfort and being with

Unknown: 00:05:29

yourself. And you need to feel that deep healing energy that is

Unknown: 00:05:36

roaming resting inside of yourself. Know that you are the

Unknown: 00:05:46

love you seek. The outside the external world is beautiful,

Unknown: 00:05:55

awesome for distractions, awesome for inspiration

Unknown: 00:05:59

stimulation. But the T deep sorry, calm source of healing

Unknown: 00:06:07

and connection lies within you. And it is in those little

Unknown: 00:06:17

moments here that we take each day or maybe a couple times a

Unknown: 00:06:22

week that we can reconnect to that deep source of contentment,

Unknown: 00:06:29

peace and quiet. Maybe you can feel your heartbeat under your

Unknown: 00:06:35

hand. You most certainly can feel your breathing under the

Unknown: 00:06:44

other hand.

Unknown: 00:06:51

Take a deep breath in. And exhale, let it all go again.

Unknown: 00:07:06

Maybe it is in the evening, then you can go to sleep now. And

Unknown: 00:07:11

know that tomorrow is a new day. Maybe you woke up this morning

Unknown: 00:07:16

after having weird dreams and you feel kind of drained and

Unknown: 00:07:19

exhausted already and don't know where to begin. then know that

Unknown: 00:07:25

this is the perfect beginning to a day. Connect to yourself. Be

Unknown: 00:07:35

good with what you have. Send deep gratefulness into your

Unknown: 00:07:43

heart for being there. And for giving you the comfort, comfort

Unknown: 00:07:50

that you need. Thank you hard for your health for constantly

Unknown: 00:07:58

being there for you. restless restlessly, beating and working

Unknown: 00:08:05

for you. Take a deep breath in and exhale. Again, relax the

Unknown: 00:08:22

muscles around your eyes. Maybe bring your shoulders up and

Unknown: 00:08:26

back. And imagine yourself sitting on a river. It is

Unknown: 00:08:32

spring. It is warm, just wearing a shirt. Very comfortable pants.

Unknown: 00:08:41

If he likes the idea, then your feet are touching the water of

Unknown: 00:08:47

that river.

Unknown: 00:08:49

Fresh water.

Unknown: 00:08:53

And you're watching that little river and you can feel the river

Unknown: 00:08:56

kind of pushing, pulling your feet in one direction. Life is a

Unknown: 00:09:07

river. Life is not a lake. Life is constant change. And know

Unknown: 00:09:13

that the feelings you have right now are not going to be forever.

Unknown: 00:09:19

It's a phase you're going through maybe just a couple of

Unknown: 00:09:21

hours, maybe a couple of days, then I want you to remember that

Unknown: 00:09:27

you can wash it off emotionally and mentally. Just letting go of

Unknown: 00:09:35

these feelings. Let's go back to that beautiful image. You can

Unknown: 00:09:44

maybe feel the sun on your skin can maybe feel a little bit of

Unknown: 00:09:49

wind can maybe feel the grass that you're leaning on to with

Unknown: 00:09:55

your elbows or your hands. Maybe you can hear so On birds

Unknown: 00:10:00

singing, to know that not only you are always there for

Unknown: 00:10:07

yourself but Mother Nature's always right there. No matter

Unknown: 00:10:12

where you live. She's there with her animals pounds, the earth,

Unknown: 00:10:21

water and the wind and everything keeps going all the

Unknown: 00:10:28

time. So tune in a little bit into Mother Nature's rhythm.

Unknown: 00:10:37

Breathe in that fresh air and know that soon you will feel

Unknown: 00:10:43

energized and and know that you're doing your best. To feel

Unknown: 00:10:49

better again, to feel energized again.

Unknown: 00:10:55

Now take really good care of yourself. Maybe have a nap,

Unknown: 00:10:59

maybe have a big glass of water. Maybe listen to some really good

Unknown: 00:11:04

music that makes you feel good. And maybe you go for a walk in

Unknown: 00:11:10

nature. Thank you so much for supporting this show here. It is

Unknown: 00:11:17

my everything. I pour my heart into this and I hope you can

Unknown: 00:11:21

feel it. Until next time,
