Unknown: 00:00:08

Hello, hello and welcome to the Borealis experien

Unknown: 00:00:14

I'm very happy to be spending some time with you today. I hope

Unknown: 00:00:18

you're doing well. How can a good space and if you're not, I

Unknown: 00:00:24

hope I'm gonna leave you with a more positive mindset, a more

Unknown: 00:00:30

open heart. Today I want to talk about decluttering your mind. I

Unknown: 00:00:38

had to do that in the last couple of days. And I feel you

Unknown: 00:00:42

can benefit from that, too. Sometimes we had too caught

Unknown: 00:00:49

up

Unknown: 00:00:49

with people, situations, frustrations, things we want to

Unknown: 00:00:58

achieve goals we want to achieve. Yeah. So it is very

Unknown: 00:01:04

important to in order to be productive in order to be

Unknown: 00:01:09

successful, to come back to a reset A times to fully declutter

Unknown: 00:01:19

your mind your brain and to come back to who you truly are. And

Unknown: 00:01:27

from that space from that mindset, you can then start and

Unknown: 00:01:33

new and reach your goals. So it is not a waste of time like your

Unknown: 00:01:41

monkey mind is going to tell you here in a second when we start.

Unknown: 00:01:46

It is not selfish, like your harsh inner critic will come up

Unknown: 00:01:53

with it is pure self respect and self love to do this at times.

Unknown: 00:02:02

It's like a spring clean of the house. He do a spring clean of

Unknown: 00:02:09

your mind. So find a comfortable seat or if you feel like it

Unknown: 00:02:15

today. Lay down on your bed on your couch or on the floor. If

Unknown: 00:02:23

you choose to lay down on the floor, on your bed, then have

Unknown: 00:02:30

your legs a little bit spread apart your feet kind of flopping

Unknown: 00:02:35

to the sides. Your arms a little bit of way apart from your body

Unknown: 00:02:42

and palms facing up to the ceiling and your shoulders, your

Unknown: 00:02:48

hips and your heels just melted to the ground. Relax your face

Unknown: 00:02:56

muscles. If you choose to sit in a comfortable seat, cross

Unknown: 00:03:02

legged. Have your palms down touching your thighs for a more

Unknown: 00:03:11

grounding sensation or up to the sky for a more open receptive

Unknown: 00:03:18

position. Maybe roll your shoulders up and back. Adjust

Unknown: 00:03:24

the position of your spine through your pelvis so your role

Unknown: 00:03:29

your sit bones so that you have a little bit of an arch in the

Unknown: 00:03:34

lower back. And then you slightly tuck your chin to

Unknown: 00:03:39

elongate your neck muscles. and here also relax your face

Unknown: 00:03:47

muscles, relax your jaw. And now focus in on what you have. You

Unknown: 00:03:56

have that little podcast playing for you. That takes care of your

Unknown: 00:04:00

well being. You have your body constantly serving you. If you

Unknown: 00:04:09

enjoying perfect health, then be so grateful for your healthy

Unknown: 00:04:16

body. Not feeling any discomfort not feeling any pain. If you're

Unknown: 00:04:24

struggling with your health know that your body is constantly

Unknown: 00:04:30

trying to find balance and to get back to perfect health. And

Unknown: 00:04:37

sometimes we just got to remember what it felt like to be

Unknown: 00:04:41

perfectly healthy and to do everything in our power to

Unknown: 00:04:47

support the body to get back to health. Beautiful I don't know

Unknown: 00:04:59

what You're dealing with right now. Maybe it is the COVID

Unknown: 00:05:03

confinement that is totally crippling your mind and your

Unknown: 00:05:07

soul. Maybe it's a person that annoyed you. Maybe it's a

Unknown: 00:05:13

situation with a person, and you don't know how to handle it.

Unknown: 00:05:18

Maybe it's your job, maybe you lost your job. Maybe you have

Unknown: 00:05:22

troubles finding a job. Or maybe the job you have is not

Unknown: 00:05:26

perfectly right for you. And you're trying to find a new

Unknown: 00:05:30

path. Maybe you're struggling with yourself and your self

Unknown: 00:05:36

doubt your confidence, your anxiety or depression. Try to

Unknown: 00:05:46

let all this go for a minute. And just feel your body in the

Unknown: 00:05:54

moment. Maybe go into birds perspective and see yourself

Unknown: 00:06:01

look down on yourself. the kindest eyes, the warmest heart.

Unknown: 00:06:13

Take a deep breath in and exhale through the mouth. What I want

Unknown: 00:06:27

to invite you to do today is ultranet nostril breathing. This

Unknown: 00:06:32

is what I practice on days where I can absolutely not focus on my

Unknown: 00:06:39

meditation where I don't want to meditate where everything is way

Unknown: 00:06:42

too busy and cluttered. So you will be having your index finger

Unknown: 00:06:53

and your middle finger kind of on your forehead, along your

Unknown: 00:06:59

nose so that your thumb if you take

Unknown: 00:07:04

your right hand, your thumb can comfortably block your right

Unknown: 00:07:08

nostril and your ring finger can comfortably block the left

Unknown: 00:07:14

nostril. So Place your hand onto your forehead there and block

Unknown: 00:07:24

your left nostril with your grain finger and take a deep

Unknown: 00:07:29

breath through your right nostril. Now block with your

Unknown: 00:07:39

summer the right nostril and exhale only through your left

Unknown: 00:07:45

nostril. Inhale through your left nostril. block your left

Unknown: 00:07:57

nostril and exhale through your right nostril. Inhale through

Unknown: 00:08:07

your right nostril and exhale through your left nostril. So

Unknown: 00:08:16

maybe you see a pattern here. Exhale through one, you inhale

Unknown: 00:08:21

through one, you exhale through the other. you inhale through

Unknown: 00:08:27

the piano. And then again, back to the other one. Do that for a

Unknown: 00:08:32

couple minutes. Now. You can even add a count so you can

Unknown: 00:08:46

inhale on 4321 exhale 1234. Inhale 4321 exhale 1234. An

Unknown: 00:09:15

continue. This is really one of the most powerful tools I can

Unknown: 00:09:23

give you to shut off your mind.

Unknown: 00:09:26

Because your mind will be curious what is going on there.

Unknown: 00:09:30

All that feels different and all I have to make sure that I

Unknown: 00:09:34

inhale enough

Unknown: 00:09:38

to not get short of breath and I need to count. So it's like an

Unknown: 00:09:43

ADHD kid that you just keep busy with a focus on the breath and

Unknown: 00:09:53

the counting. And I wish I would do it more often. I apply that

Unknown: 00:10:00

technique when something is really, really annoying me, I

Unknown: 00:10:05

try to tune into my breath and convince myself that reacting is

Unknown: 00:10:10

not going to change the situation or make it better. I'm

Unknown: 00:10:14

just going to wait and see and respond.

Unknown: 00:10:26

To know finish your last round of inhaling and exhaling. And

Unknown: 00:10:35

then place your hands back onto your sides or on the floor if

Unknown: 00:10:40

you learned and feel how beautiful and powerful your

Unknown: 00:10:47

breath is, know how deep it is, and soothing. If you're laying

Unknown: 00:10:54

down on the floor on the pouch, pull on to your side and come to

Unknown: 00:10:59

a comfortable seat. Now all of us, bring your hands into

Unknown: 00:11:07

prayer. Sorry, prayer position in front of your heart. Bow your

Unknown: 00:11:14

mind to your heart. Maybe you can feel your heartbeat under

Unknown: 00:11:20

your thumbs. Now send deep gratitude towards your heart and

Unknown: 00:11:31

your mind for this little bit of peace that you felt today and

Unknown: 00:11:41

may nothing or no one disturb this peace that you acquired

Unknown: 00:11:48

today may fiercely protect that piece that you feel in your

Unknown: 00:11:55

chest. And imagine you have like a wide light around you. that

Unknown: 00:12:03

protects you from bullshit protects you from drama that

Unknown: 00:12:09

lets you react like your coolest, your best version.

Unknown: 00:12:24

Beautiful. Now Mustaine thank you so much for listening to

Unknown: 00:12:31
