Ep.19 Meditation #8 For when you feel upset/irritated.

Unknown: 00:00:08

Hello and welcome to the Borealis experience. I'm

Unknown: 00:00:12

excited to post this meditation here for you today. And I'm

Unknown: 00:00:17

hoping to bring you peace and calm lights. This meditation is

Unknown: 00:00:26

for when you feel irritated, I learned that it is very very

Unknown: 00:00:34

important during the day when you feel strong emotions to deal

Unknown: 00:00:40

with them as soon as possible to metabolize them, so to say in

Unknown: 00:00:47

order to have a good restful sleep, because otherwise, if you

Unknown: 00:00:52

carry it through your sleep, you might have interrupted sleep.

Unknown: 00:00:58

Plus you would bring these vibes into your new day tomorrow. And

Unknown: 00:01:03

this is what I want to help you

Unknown: 00:01:06

to prevent. So find a comfortable seat or lay down on

Unknown: 00:01:14

the floor. When you sit, adjust your pelvis so that the spine is

Unknown: 00:01:26

naturally straight without big effort.

Unknown: 00:01:31

Tuck your chin slightly so that your neck is elongated. Close

Unknown: 00:01:37

your eyes. Relax the muscles around your eyes, the muscles

Unknown: 00:01:44

around your mouth, relax your jaw.

Unknown: 00:01:51

Take a couple of very deep breaths here

Unknown: 00:02:05

no matter what irritated you today, what got you worked up.

Unknown: 00:02:12

Now you're with yourself. Now you can tune in back to your

Unknown: 00:02:17

core, your calming energy and just know that you can let

Unknown: 00:02:28

everything go here in the safe place. If you feel like crying

Unknown: 00:02:34

cry, if you'd like swearing, to silently swear

Unknown: 00:02:41

that it all out

Unknown: 00:02:45

don't hold on to it

Unknown: 00:02:52

roll your shoulders

Unknown: 00:02:53

up and back.

Unknown: 00:03:00

Now if you choose to sit, maybe turn to the right and then turn

Unknown: 00:03:10

to the left. What I like to do is when I feel really irritated

Unknown: 00:03:16

and agitated and want to meditate, want to come back to a

Unknown: 00:03:20

peaceful state. Then I add a couple very smooth movements. No

Unknown: 00:03:28

one is watching you. Because when we get upset most of the

Unknown: 00:03:35

time, our muscles in our back tighten up. And then if we do a

Unknown: 00:03:41

weird movement, we pull a muscle and are even more in pain. So in

Unknown: 00:03:47

this meditation today, I want you to do slight movements.

Unknown: 00:03:53

rotation of the spine

Unknown: 00:04:01

baby forward, forwards and then back up straight. as slow as you

Unknown: 00:04:10

can and as gentle as you want

Unknown: 00:04:18

and know that with every exhale, you're breathing out irritation,

Unknown: 00:04:24

agitation, anger, things that weigh you down heavily. And

Unknown: 00:04:34

every new inhale is new fresh energy.

Unknown: 00:05:04

If your monkey mind is really active now because you still

Unknown: 00:05:07

agitated, it's like, what the fog are we doing here? I want to

Unknown: 00:05:12

get active, I want to react, I want to fight back, then just

Unknown: 00:05:16

listen to it. Let it go on

Unknown: 00:05:26

I know that your willingness to let go was stronger than your

Unknown: 00:05:31

readiness to fight

Unknown: 00:05:46

very good.

Unknown: 00:05:50

You can come back into a still position again. And now

Unknown: 00:05:55

visualize a tree, visualize a lake, visualize a deer walking

Unknown: 00:06:02

through a forest and see how nature is our strongest best

Unknown: 00:06:11

teacher. The deer if it gets upset or scared, shakes

Unknown: 00:06:18

everything off, and then moves on with life focuses on water

Unknown: 00:06:24

intake, food intake, protecting their offspring, or maybe

Unknown: 00:06:30

looking for a mate. But they don't hold on to stuff. Same

Unknown: 00:06:35

with cats or dogs. If you own any kind of animal, you probably

Unknown: 00:06:42

know that when there was tension building up, they know how to

Unknown: 00:06:49

release it and let it out of their system. And us humans tend

Unknown: 00:06:54

to hold on to living resentment and waiting for the next thing

Unknown: 00:07:01

to upset us to then react even more and know that this behavior

Unknown: 00:07:07

is just poisoning yourself. So that everything go let that shit

Unknown: 00:07:15

go. Very good job. It's a little bit loud in the background here

Unknown: 00:07:25

today. I hope it's not disturbing you. Sometimes I just

Unknown: 00:07:31

tell myself, when we don't have the perfect outside

Unknown: 00:07:36

circumstances to meditate, it doesn't matter. We can focus

Unknown: 00:07:42

then even more on to our breath

Unknown: 00:07:52

let it go, let it go. Let it go. It's so not worth it

Unknown: 00:08:07

with every inhale, make space inside of your body inside of

Unknown: 00:08:12

your head. For goodness, think about the good things you want

Unknown: 00:08:17

to do for the rest of your day. Maybe a nice phone call, maybe

Unknown: 00:08:22

go for a walk. Here drink a big glass of water

Unknown: 00:08:36

feel how your heart is getting lighter. Feel how your face is

Unknown: 00:08:42

relaxed

Unknown: 00:08:55

now bring your hands to your heart center. Bow your head down

Unknown: 00:09:04

be proud of yourself. Be grateful for your strong

Unknown: 00:09:08

practice here. Take a couple more deep breaths here maybe

Unknown: 00:09:14

fear your heartbeat know that this is your safe place you can

Unknown: 00:09:22

always come back to namaste

Unknown: 00:09:33

thank you so so much for listening to my meditation

Unknown: 00:09:36

today. I know we all go through some tough times at times and

Unknown: 00:09:42

fear irritated and angry and you really got to look at your

Unknown: 00:09:51

energy your body, how it feels in those moments and how it

Unknown: 00:09:56

doesn't make you feel good at all but online things We have to

Unknown: 00:10:00

hold on to certain things to protect ourselves in the future

Unknown: 00:10:05

from from more harm and pain. But I think we can learn to just

Unknown: 00:10:11

set more boundaries, healthy boundaries, and in doing so,

Unknown: 00:10:19

become less upset and situations and just know that we have clear

Unknown: 00:10:25

walls where we can walk away from. At the same time, we have

Unknown: 00:10:31

openness and receptiveness to energy and problems of others. I

Unknown: 00:10:38

want to talk about this way more in the future, to help you out

Unknown: 00:10:43

with strong emotions that upset you and make you feel shitty.

Unknown: 00:10:48

And for now, just continue with your day. Be proud of your

Unknown: 00:10:54

strong practice here and let everything go relax back into

Unknown: 00:11:00

your core energy here. Thank you for listening to the Borealis

Unknown: 00:11:05

experience. I'm your host Aurora, and I'll be there for

Unknown: 00:11:08

you very soon again. Bye bye
