Ep. 28 Meditation #14 quick morning meditation.

Unknown: 00:00:00

Hello, hello. This is the boreal of experience

Unknown: 00:00:04

meditations. Thank you so much for joining me today. Very

Unknown: 00:00:09

excited to be spending a little bit of time with you.

Unknown: 00:00:14

Find a comfortable seat or lay down on the ground.

Unknown: 00:00:21

Don't be driving or operating machinery if you are listening

Unknown: 00:00:27

to this episode today

Unknown: 00:00:30

All right. If you're sitting up straight,

Unknown: 00:00:36

try to find a balance between

Unknown: 00:00:40

effort and ease.

Unknown: 00:00:44

And

Unknown: 00:00:46

you should feel sitting up straight

Unknown: 00:00:51

as effortlessly as possible.

Unknown: 00:00:54

Maybe close your eyes, relax the muscles around your eyes, your

Unknown: 00:01:00

jaw, your forehead,

Unknown: 00:01:03

roll your shoulders up and back

Unknown: 00:01:09

and take a deep breath in. And

Unknown: 00:01:16

it is very cold here it is.

Unknown: 00:01:19

Nine o'clock in the morning minus 10 degrees. I just went

Unknown: 00:01:23

out to the chickens to feed them and their water was frozen. And

Unknown: 00:01:28

it just thought oh my god, this is how my day starts.

Unknown: 00:01:34

And then I thought no, I'm just gonna meditate now and not lead

Unknown: 00:01:40

anything.

Unknown: 00:01:43

bug me today.

Unknown: 00:01:45

So we set an intention.

Unknown: 00:01:49

Maybe it is in the morning for you. Maybe it is in the evening.

Unknown: 00:01:54

That's okay too.

Unknown: 00:01:58

We set an intention for resilience and effortlessness.

Unknown: 00:02:10

Today we let things flow. Just like our breath.

Unknown: 00:02:15

That's where we start.

Unknown: 00:02:18

So inhale on the count of 41234 and then exhale. 432101 inhale

Unknown: 00:02:40

2344321

Unknown: 00:02:52

Very good.

Unknown: 00:02:55

Okay, breathing like that.

Unknown: 00:02:59

Because it is through breathing that we can kind of influence

Unknown: 00:03:04

our nervous system

Unknown: 00:03:07

and calm ourselves down when something upsets us or triggers

Unknown: 00:03:12

us.

Unknown: 00:03:14

So deep inhale

Unknown: 00:03:19

and an exhale

Unknown: 00:03:27

and maybe you want to extend your inhale and exhale

Unknown: 00:03:31

you're free to do that now.

Unknown: 00:03:53

Again, relax the muscles around your eyes come back to normal

Unknown: 00:03:58

breath maybe a little deeper heavier breathing and when we

Unknown: 00:04:04

started

Unknown: 00:04:13

I mentioned that quote before from Bruce Lee.

Unknown: 00:04:18

A relaxed muscle hits hardest.

Unknown: 00:04:22

Empty your mind.

Unknown: 00:04:27

So what he means by that as

Unknown: 00:04:31

I relaxed

Unknown: 00:04:33

state of mind

Unknown: 00:04:36

relaxed body

Unknown: 00:04:39

has the most effect and the world

Unknown: 00:04:47

an empty your mind, I feel is also a beautiful quote because

Unknown: 00:04:53

we don't want to start a day or end the day with a million

Unknown: 00:04:57

thoughts racing. You want him

Unknown: 00:05:00

You know, kind of dozy state where we can set intentions for

Unknown: 00:05:05

the night or for the day

Unknown: 00:05:08

and just be in a good place with ourselves

Unknown: 00:05:36

come back to your breath

Unknown: 00:05:57

the more we observe our thoughts and our breathing, the more we

Unknown: 00:06:03

can influence them

Unknown: 00:06:06

and come back to this peaceful state during the day

Unknown: 00:06:13

like an anchor

Unknown: 00:06:39

bring your hands to heart center. If you were laying down

Unknown: 00:06:43

on the ground, come up into a comfortable seat.

Unknown: 00:06:48

Press your thumbs against your sternum, maybe feel your

Unknown: 00:06:52

heartbeat.

Unknown: 00:06:54

Now boy your mind down to your heart.

Unknown: 00:07:01

And once again, set the intention

Unknown: 00:07:07

today

Unknown: 00:07:09

everything is gonna go with ease.

Unknown: 00:07:16

Nothing can shake me or break me.

Unknown: 00:07:22

And if there is something upsetting I'm resilient enough

Unknown: 00:07:26

to respond

Unknown: 00:07:30

in the best way I can

Unknown: 00:07:38

my breath is flowing in and out and nurturing my body and my

Unknown: 00:07:43

soul.

Unknown: 00:07:45

My mind is clear, sharp,

Unknown: 00:07:50

creative. Enjoy us.

Unknown: 00:07:55

Namaste

Unknown: 00:08:01

thank you so much for joining me on that quick little intention.

Unknown: 00:08:09

Meditation.

Unknown: 00:08:11

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Unknown: 00:08:14

Or if this was just before bedtime, I hope you have a great

Unknown: 00:08:19

sleep. I will be posting

Unknown: 00:08:23

meditations in the future for people who struggle with

Unknown: 00:08:27

insomnia.

Unknown: 00:08:29

Feel a lot of us are struggling with interrupted sleep

Unknown: 00:08:40

Thank you for listening. Your host Aurora. Bye bye
