Ep.13 Meditation #5 For when you feel poorly about yourself.

Unknown: 00:00:08

Hello, hello this is the Borealis experience. I'm

Unknown: 00:00:11

your host Aurora. I'm going for a walk today with my dog, it is

Unknown: 00:00:15

snowing, my cell phone is getting wet. And I might sound a

Unknown: 00:00:20

little bit out of breath. But I'm stubborn enough to say, I

Unknown: 00:00:26

want to record this meditation today for you. Thank you so much

Unknown: 00:00:30

for spending some time with me today. I really appreciate you.

Unknown: 00:00:35

And now let's get started. Find a comfortable seat. Or as usual,

Unknown: 00:00:42

lay down on the floor. Please don't be driving a car or

Unknown: 00:00:47

bicycle, or operate any machinery. Be in a peaceful,

Unknown: 00:00:53

quiet room.

Unknown: 00:00:56

Or maybe you're sitting on a bus and a train and have your

Unknown: 00:01:00

headphones in and you can just relax and close your eyes.

Unknown: 00:01:05

Last meditation I mentioned already I want to talk about

Unknown: 00:01:10

effortlessness because effortlessness brings us

Unknown: 00:01:14

incredible peace and lets us act from a very authentic place and

Unknown: 00:01:22

it's just very genuine and beautiful. So, this episode,

Unknown: 00:01:30

this meditation is for days where you feel really shitty

Unknown: 00:01:35

about yourself. I think we all have those days. And maybe if

Unknown: 00:01:41

you're a person who watches the news on Ragda and have been hit

Unknown: 00:01:49

hard by the COVID the Coronavirus, then this episode

Unknown: 00:01:55

is exactly right for you.

Unknown: 00:01:58

So sit down, lay down, close your eyes.

Unknown: 00:02:07

If you lay down let your whole body sink heavily into your mat

Unknown: 00:02:14

or into the floor.

Unknown: 00:02:17

If you sit up straight, adjust your pelvis. Maybe go back to my

Unknown: 00:02:23

first couple meditations I offered here to really listen to

Unknown: 00:02:29

how you should feel and sit when you chose to sit.

Unknown: 00:02:34

Tuck your chin slightly elongate your neck

Unknown: 00:02:41

and place your hands on your heart

Unknown: 00:02:47

feel your heartbeat

Unknown: 00:02:51

Feel your breath

Unknown: 00:02:54

maybe you can hear the snow under my boots

Unknown: 00:03:05

I'm here with you

Unknown: 00:03:11

and today I want to tell you

Unknown: 00:03:14

no matter what you did in your past, no matter what people did

Unknown: 00:03:18

to you in the past

Unknown: 00:03:21

maybe

Unknown: 00:03:23

today was the day you hurt someone disappointed someone

Unknown: 00:03:30

just let that all float away from you

Unknown: 00:03:37

know that you can reconcile. You can apologize.

Unknown: 00:03:42

You can forgive

Unknown: 00:03:49

maybe you feel especially uncomfortable in your body.

Unknown: 00:03:55

Maybe

Unknown: 00:03:56

you feel I know that you have

Unknown: 00:04:00

too many kilos.

Unknown: 00:04:04

You're struggling with obesity.

Unknown: 00:04:07

Maybe you're struggling with other discomforts

Unknown: 00:04:12

that makes you feel shitty about yourself.

Unknown: 00:04:19

Tune back into your breath.

Unknown: 00:04:22

Keep your hands pressed onto your heart

Unknown: 00:04:27

and know that you're endlessly worthy.

Unknown: 00:04:32

Know that pretty much everything can be forgiven and has to be

Unknown: 00:04:37

forgiven by you

Unknown: 00:04:42

know that there's always a way out.

Unknown: 00:04:46

Sometimes it just takes time and patience

Unknown: 00:04:59

know that you

Unknown: 00:05:00

You will be a different person tomorrow. When you go to bed

Unknown: 00:05:05

tonight,

Unknown: 00:05:07

and

Unknown: 00:05:09

really trust that you will be forgiven, you can ask for

Unknown: 00:05:15

forgiveness, you will have the courage

Unknown: 00:05:19

to step outside again and feel good with yourself

Unknown: 00:05:24

that this is just temporary

Unknown: 00:05:28

tune back into your breath.

Unknown: 00:05:32

Take a deep inhale

Unknown: 00:05:37

and exhale

Unknown: 00:05:43

maybe it was another person, an outsider that made you feel

Unknown: 00:05:46

really shitty about yourself.

Unknown: 00:05:50

Maybe there's someone with depression,

Unknown: 00:05:54

who can really see you at the moment who can appreciate you

Unknown: 00:05:59

can't give you the approval that you are longing for.

Unknown: 00:06:07

Maybe it is an impatient person or person who's struggling with

Unknown: 00:06:12

him or herself and they can't

Unknown: 00:06:15

treat you respectfully at the moment.

Unknown: 00:06:19

And maybe it's just a cleaner. So

Unknown: 00:06:22

who took his shit out on you

Unknown: 00:06:27

just know that

Unknown: 00:06:29

you are you. And you can choose now to channel that energy out

Unknown: 00:06:35

of your chest. Breathe out that negative energy

Unknown: 00:06:47

inhale deeply

Unknown: 00:06:50

and then exhale again.

Unknown: 00:06:56

Maybe you are a parent and your children just drove you nuts

Unknown: 00:07:00

today.

Unknown: 00:07:02

Just know that they are to doing their best.

Unknown: 00:07:10

And don't mean to really annoy you

Unknown: 00:07:20

know that taking this time for you. Those couple of minutes no,

Unknown: 00:07:26

is so, so precious. And you can be so proud of yourself that you

Unknown: 00:07:32

choose to take a break from all of this and tune back into

Unknown: 00:07:37

yourself

Unknown: 00:07:45

know that tomorrow is another day.

Unknown: 00:07:49

But you can also chose that

Unknown: 00:07:52

URL clear,

Unknown: 00:07:55

beautiful, unique

Unknown: 00:08:00

wonderful person after this meditation

Unknown: 00:08:11

if the pain is too big, the wounds are too deep.

Unknown: 00:08:17

Know that it is okay at times to be in pain and to suffer.

Unknown: 00:08:23

Because suffering is part of our lives and we can't run away from

Unknown: 00:08:27

it.

Unknown: 00:08:29

The main thing is that you don't give up

Unknown: 00:08:33

that you stay connected to yourself and that you're able to

Unknown: 00:08:38

relative ate it. So really see the big picture and see how much

Unknown: 00:08:45

it is affecting you

Unknown: 00:08:49

how much it should affect you in order to change something in the

Unknown: 00:08:52

future.

Unknown: 00:08:54

This is all we can learn from shitty feelings, shitty

Unknown: 00:08:59

situations. feeling really bad about ourselves.

Unknown: 00:09:08

Tune back into your breath.

Unknown: 00:09:11

Inhale deeply, and an exhale again.

Unknown: 00:09:17

Do this for a couple of times.

Unknown: 00:09:23

Appreciate the cold air coming in the hot air floating out of

Unknown: 00:09:28

your mouth or nose again.

Unknown: 00:09:35

Now bring your hands in prayer position in front of your hand

Unknown: 00:09:39

heart. Sorry.

Unknown: 00:09:42

Bow your head down

Unknown: 00:09:45

for your mind

Unknown: 00:09:48

down to your heart

Unknown: 00:09:52

and send deep appreciation and to your heart

Unknown: 00:09:59

your endless

Unknown: 00:10:00

See where See you can be forgiven. You can ask for

Unknown: 00:10:03

forgiveness. And you can also let feelings of anger and

Unknown: 00:10:09

resentment flowed out of you. You don't have to hold on to it.

Unknown: 00:10:17

I'm sending my love out to you. This was a meditation with me
