Ep.32 Positive timeout. Clear communication.

Unknown: 00:00:07

Hello, and welcome to the Borealis experience. I'm

Unknown: 00:00:11

your host Aurora. And I'm so happy to be spending some time

Unknown: 00:00:15

with you now currently sitting outside, having a sun bath,

Unknown: 00:00:22

really enjoying the spring weather that came into our

Unknown: 00:00:28

lives. And those are my little puppy. Do you know from

Unknown: 00:00:33

Instagram or maybe Facebook was sitting next to me chewing on a

Unknown: 00:00:38

piece of stick. If you wonder what those extra sounds are,

Unknown: 00:00:44

this episode is for you for when you need a break, or you just

Unknown: 00:00:49

want to stop for a moment and come back to yourself. We all

Unknown: 00:00:56

need that. We run around accomplish things we listen to

Unknown: 00:01:02

others, we try to accomplish our own expectations. Well, I think

Unknown: 00:01:11

you say meeting expectations, not accomplishing expectations.

Unknown: 00:01:16

You are there for others. And in those times it's hardest. When

Unknown: 00:01:23

you want to get things done to be there for yourself at times,

Unknown: 00:01:27

we always tend to put ourselves last, except if we are very well

Unknown: 00:01:34

trained already and to know how to take care of ourselves or if

Unknown: 00:01:39

we are narcissists. And very selfish by nature already. So

Unknown: 00:01:49

take a comfortable seat, maybe lay down on the floor and come

Unknown: 00:01:55

to your breath. Breathe in. And exhale again. For a moment, just

Unknown: 00:02:07

stop trying. stop wanting stop expecting stop wanting to be

Unknown: 00:02:21

someone else maybe and common to as a being. Know that you're

Unknown: 00:02:33

perfect, just like you are. You don't need to add anything. If

Unknown: 00:02:41

at all, you can subtract stuff that you added over the years

Unknown: 00:02:48

that you think you need in order to be seen in order to be

Unknown: 00:02:53

someone out there in order to function. Today, in this moment,

Unknown: 00:03:02

tried to strip everything away. And just sit there or pay their

Unknown: 00:03:11

way as yourself and your body. Maybe your monkey mind is highly

Unknown: 00:03:26

active you are in accomplishing mode, problem solving mode, then

Unknown: 00:03:34

tell it to shut up for 10 minutes. And bring your

Unknown: 00:03:40

attention back to your breath. Maybe back to physical

Unknown: 00:03:46

sensations, to gratitude towards your body.

Unknown: 00:03:57

healthy, strong, capable body that is tirelessly working for

Unknown: 00:04:05

you every second of your life. I feel it is the body that we

Unknown: 00:04:13

ignore first when we are in problem solving mode. To drink

Unknown: 00:04:21

enough water to go for walks to have enough sleep. Seems like a

Unknown: 00:04:28

waste of time for some people. when the going gets tough when

Unknown: 00:04:33

life is stressful. But those are the exact things that if we

Unknown: 00:04:39

neglect them make our life even more stressful. So you have to

Unknown: 00:04:47

make space and practice emotional, mental hygiene in

Unknown: 00:04:56

order to sleep well. Have to make space for a little bit of

Unknown: 00:05:04

movement. I don't want to talk about exercising, I want to just

Unknown: 00:05:07

talk about movement here going for walks, having a stretch. And

Unknown: 00:05:14

you have to make time to deeply appreciate your food and your

Unknown: 00:05:19

water and maybe the space you living into. You don't want to

Unknown: 00:05:27

make it look nice. You want to make it feel wonderful, safe,

Unknown: 00:05:34

and good where you live. Big inhale and exhale. If you choose

Unknown: 00:05:53

to close your eyes, relax the muscles around your eyes. Relax

Unknown: 00:06:00

your jaw, Relax your neck, neck muscles. Maybe roll your

Unknown: 00:06:05

shoulders up and bag. Field lay down on the floor, put one hand

Unknown: 00:06:15

on your chest and the other one on your belly. Maybe you feel

Unknown: 00:06:19

your heartbeat. Maybe you feel your belly rising and coming

Unknown: 00:06:26

back down with every breath.

Unknown: 00:06:40

Wonderful. Come back to your breath. Feel how calm and

Unknown: 00:06:53

relaxed Your heart is, your body is and your mind will follow. If

Unknown: 00:07:03

you lead it, if you bring it back to your breath.

Unknown: 00:07:25

When you get up after this long meditation, I want you to deeply

Unknown: 00:07:29

focus on I hope you're not wearing shoes, hope you're

Unknown: 00:07:33

wearing socks or barefoot how the ground fields when you walk,

Unknown: 00:07:41

walk mindfully focusing on your body movement. Instead of

Unknown: 00:07:50

thinking about the next step you want to take mentally.

Unknown: 00:08:00

Maybe notice your posture, maybe it is more relaxed. Maybe your

Unknown: 00:08:04

shoulders are nice and down away from the years. Maybe you feel

Unknown: 00:08:13

very thirsty and you need to drink after this little

Unknown: 00:08:16

meditation.

Unknown: 00:08:23

Come back to your breath. Beautiful. Now open up your

Unknown: 00:08:46

eyes. If you're in a seated position. Bring your hands to

Unknown: 00:08:51

pray a position in front of your heart. If you lay down, roll

Unknown: 00:08:59

onto your side and then push yourself up into a comfortable

Unknown: 00:09:03

seat. Bring your hearts into prayer position in front of you.

Unknown: 00:09:09

Your hands I mean in front of your heart. Bow your mind to

Unknown: 00:09:15

your heart and feel that deep, calm feeling in your chest. And

Unknown: 00:09:27

know that this feeling is with you all along. You just got to

Unknown: 00:09:32

remember it at times. Recall it, preserve it. But know that it's

Unknown: 00:09:44

there all the time and you can always come back to it that can

Unknown: 00:09:48

ank send deep gratitude to what's yourself for taking this

Unknown: 00:09:57

time out for you Keep an eye on sending deep gratitude

Unknown: 00:10:06

to you. You're doing wonderful, you're taking care of yourself.

Unknown: 00:10:14

And those of us doing awesome biting on that, icicle

Unknown: 00:10:19

probably cools down his swollen gums with his baby teeth in it

Unknown: 00:10:26

stir. So now go out there and remember this deep, quiet, calm

Unknown: 00:10:35

space for whenever you get stressed again. Maybe the state

Unknown: 00:10:40

will go very smoothly from now on. take really good care of

Unknown: 00:10:45

yourself. And I'll be back out there tomorrow with the Borealis

Unknown: 00:10:51

experience. Thank you so much for listening.
