Ep.36 Meditation #16 For when you need a break.

Unknown: 00:00:07

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

Unknown: 00:00:10

your host Aurora. And I'm very happy to spending some time with

Unknown: 00:00:14

you today. Thank you so much for being here. It just made my

Unknown: 00:00:18

favorite tea, licorice tea. And it is Saturday morning, I

Unknown: 00:00:24

schooled here in Canada. And today I want to record a

Unknown: 00:00:29

meditation for when you want to stop when you want to stop and

Unknown: 00:00:34

take a break and just relax into your energy and just be with

Unknown: 00:00:40

yourself be more do less. So a lot of times we are caught in

Unknown: 00:00:48

worry and resentment and anger in to do mode. And it is very

Unknown: 00:00:55

critical to get things done in life that we have those islands

Unknown: 00:01:01

that we create that space where we can recharge our batteries

Unknown: 00:01:06

and just rest and relax with what is and stop wanting stop

Unknown: 00:01:13

needing. Stop asking for stop being in a mode that is draining

Unknown: 00:01:23

at times, and especially over a longer period of time. It can

Unknown: 00:01:28

also severely affect our sleep, and in doing so our well being.

Unknown: 00:01:36

So find a comfortable seat. And let's get started. As I said in

Unknown: 00:01:44

my first couple of meditations adjust your sitting position

Unknown: 00:01:50

over your sit bones for your sit bones, both pressing into the

Unknown: 00:01:54

ground. And then tip your pelvis slightly forward to make a

Unknown: 00:02:00

little bit of an arch in the lower back. And then you'll see

Unknown: 00:02:05

that your shoulders automatically go back, your

Unknown: 00:02:09

heart opens up to the front of the room. And you can rest your

Unknown: 00:02:14

hands on your thighs with palms open to the sky or facing down

Unknown: 00:02:20

for a more grounding sensation. Maybe he'll roll your shoulders

Unknown: 00:02:27

up and back. do this a couple times. And then let your

Unknown: 00:02:34

shoulders rest a little bit pushed away from your ears a

Unknown: 00:02:40

little bit pressed down towards the ground. Have your chin

Unknown: 00:02:48

slightly tucked to elongate your neck. And then if you feel like

Unknown: 00:02:54

it today, close your eyes. Come and take your breath. really

Unknown: 00:03:15

feel your breath feel the cold air coming in through your nose

Unknown: 00:03:21

and a warm air exiting your body. Maybe you feel your heart

Unknown: 00:03:29

beating at a slower beat. Relax but less than little muscles

Unknown: 00:03:37

around your eyes around your mouth. Relax your jaw. Beautiful

Unknown: 00:03:45

resting bitchface. So it is in those times where we are caught

Unknown: 00:04:02

up and to do less than feelings and missions and accomplishments

Unknown: 00:04:08

that we need meditation the most. Where we need to stop.

Unknown: 00:04:15

Maybe even go into birds perspective and be okay with

Unknown: 00:04:21

what is accept where we are at. Bay. Big inhale and exhale. Big

Unknown: 00:04:43

inhale and exhale. If you are overall happy with where you at

Unknown: 00:05:03

today,

Unknown: 00:05:06

then that simply means that every decision you made, every

Unknown: 00:05:10

action you took, led you to this moment here. And you may

Unknown: 00:05:16

continue on this path. If you feel you are in a constant fight

Unknown: 00:05:24

or flight mode, and you're not okay with what you're at, with

Unknown: 00:05:29

where you're at, then this moment of peace will help you to

Unknown: 00:05:39

find the energy and the inspiration and creativity. To

Unknown: 00:05:45

change your path.

Unknown: 00:05:56

You can stop right here, and you can change your path. As

Unknown: 00:06:03

whatever is bugging you, whatever you don't like. Let go

Unknown: 00:06:09

of it now. And after this magnification, focus on what you

Unknown: 00:06:19

want, what you need.

Unknown: 00:06:23

But right now, you sit here with yourself and accept what is take

Unknown: 00:06:39

a big inhale and exhale. Big inhale and exhale. Again, relax

Unknown: 00:07:09

the muscles around your eyes, your forehead. Every thought

Unknown: 00:07:36

that comes up, let it go. Let it float away. Come back to your

Unknown: 00:07:45

breath. And relish this moment. Not having an opinion and

Unknown: 00:08:01

judgment. Just being in the moment. Big inhale. Big exhale.

Unknown: 00:08:48

Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth.

Unknown: 00:09:06

Continue at your own rhythm. relax the muscles around your

Unknown: 00:09:38

eyes, your jaw, your neck muscles, your shoulders. Come

Unknown: 00:09:47

back to your breath.

Unknown: 00:10:19

Very good

Unknown: 00:10:23

Bring your hands to heart center and pray position bow your head

Unknown: 00:10:29

down press your thumbs into your heart and know that it is okay

Unknown: 00:10:42

to not want to not judge to not have an opinion to not being in

Unknown: 00:10:49

fight or flight mode. It is okay to just be Namaste thank you so
