Ep.38 Meditation for when you feel confused.

Unknown: 00:00:09

Hello, hello,

Unknown: 00:00:09

and welcome to the Borealis experience. I'm your host

Unknown: 00:00:14

Aurora. And I'm very happy to be spending some time with you

Unknown: 00:00:18

today. So good to have you is Sunday morning. My voice is

Unknown: 00:00:25

still a little scratchy, because I woke up not too long ago. And

Unknown: 00:00:32

I felt like regulating morning meditation for you meditation

Unknown: 00:00:37

for when you feel confused, and you want to feel your best

Unknown: 00:00:42

again. So find a comfortable seat. Check out some of my

Unknown: 00:00:49

episodes of season one, I describe their in depth how to

Unknown: 00:00:55

sit comfortably when you meditate. So once again, feel

Unknown: 00:01:01

your sit bones, roll them back and forth. You have your legs

Unknown: 00:01:08

kind of crossed in front of you and have like a little bit of an

Unknown: 00:01:12

arch and your lower back so that your spine is naturally straight

Unknown: 00:01:17

without big effort. roll your shoulders up and back. Slightly

Unknown: 00:01:25

tuck your chin to elongate your cervical cervicals your neck,

Unknown: 00:01:34

your hands can be on your legs, you can have your palms open to

Unknown: 00:01:40

the sky for receiving while you can turn your palms down and let

Unknown: 00:01:46

them rest on your thighs for a more grounding sensation. If you

Unknown: 00:01:53

feel like it, you can lay down on the floor as well. And then

Unknown: 00:01:57

you have your legs a little bit apart your arms a little bit

Unknown: 00:02:00

apart from your body and your palms facing up to the sky.

Unknown: 00:02:08

Beautiful. Now if you feel like it today, close your eyes. relax

Unknown: 00:02:19

the muscles around your eyes, your forehead, you your job and

Unknown: 00:02:30

not to see your breath. Breath in the morning is usually nice

Unknown: 00:02:37

and deep. Unless you're stressed and have to run around.

Unknown: 00:02:48

And if it is rather shallow than guided to your belly is very

Unknown: 00:03:06

normal to feel confused at times. Sometimes we have to make

Unknown: 00:03:13

a decision and we don't quite know which direction we should

Unknown: 00:03:18

go. Sometimes something happens in our relationships and we have

Unknown: 00:03:26

to make a decision and we don't really know how to react respond

Unknown: 00:03:33

to somebody. Sometimes something happens out of the blue and we

Unknown: 00:03:41

have to respond quickly and we take a decision we make a

Unknown: 00:03:46

decision and then afterwards we think gosh I don't know if that

Unknown: 00:03:51

was the right decision. Sorry, that was my computer. Take a

Unknown: 00:04:00

deep breath in and exhale. Know that it is okay to feeling

Unknown: 00:04:14

confused. And if you don't tense up and panic and know that as as

Unknown: 00:04:24

part of the human condition, it is easier to see a solution. It

Unknown: 00:04:32

is easier to let your heart guide you. Sometimes we run

Unknown: 00:04:39

around and ask for advice. But other people don't know what is

Unknown: 00:04:47

best for us. They might know us. But it is us who know what is

Unknown: 00:04:55

best for us. We got to come back To the heart, come back to our

Unknown: 00:05:02

center. And then we can make wise decisions. Come back to

Unknown: 00:05:14

your breath. Maybe visualize your breath visualizer, wide,

Unknown: 00:05:23

warm light, going up your spine, whenever you breathe in. And

Unknown: 00:05:32

when you exhale, both blue light comes out your mouth. stuff that

Unknown: 00:05:39

you don't need anymore. Confusing times, we wish for

Unknown: 00:05:46

clarity. So, instead of focusing on the confusing situation,

Unknown: 00:05:54

focus on being totally crystal clear and sharp. Imagine how

Unknown: 00:06:03

that feels. If you knew the answer, you would feel confident

Unknown: 00:06:10

you would feel very calm, you would feel good about yourself.

Unknown: 00:06:18

Do you remember those feelings, maybe you can call them in now

Unknown: 00:06:31

and know that it is okay to take your time with making decisions.

Unknown: 00:06:37

Some people are very quick and good at taking decisions. And

Unknown: 00:06:43

some people always need a little longer. And that's okay too. You

Unknown: 00:06:50

have to go at your pace.

Unknown: 00:07:05

If you have your palms facing up while you're seated, turn your

Unknown: 00:07:10

palms down now and kind of don't grab your thighs but kind of

Unknown: 00:07:18

embrace your thighs with your fingers.

Unknown: 00:07:26

Beautiful. If you are laying down on your back, place one

Unknown: 00:07:33

hand on your heart and the other on your belly to really feel

Unknown: 00:07:37

yourself know that deep down inside you know the answer. Do

Unknown: 00:07:50

you know the way out of this confusing situation? You just

Unknown: 00:07:55

got to allow it just got to bravely express it and

Unknown: 00:08:00

communicated

Unknown: 00:08:14

very good. I feel those meditations when we feel

Unknown: 00:08:19

confused are the most critical ones. Because if we can respond

Unknown: 00:08:26

with a quiet tone of voice with a calm peace of mind, then we

Unknown: 00:08:36

will be heard from others and then our decision will be made

Unknown: 00:08:41

in a sustainable fashion. So you gather all your strength you

Unknown: 00:08:47

focus on yourself.

Unknown: 00:08:50

You're calm and quiet. Do you know that you will find a

Unknown: 00:09:00

solution soon.

Unknown: 00:09:07

My time roll your shoulders up and back. Take a deep inhale and

Unknown: 00:09:20

exhale. Now bring your hands to prayer position. Press your

Unknown: 00:09:29

thumbs into your sternum. If you're laying on the ground,

Unknown: 00:09:35

roll over to your side and slowly push yourself up into a

Unknown: 00:09:40

comfortable seat and bring your hands in prayer position in

Unknown: 00:09:46

front of your heart. Isn't that a powerful thought and picture

Unknown: 00:09:56

or image to see us all doing the same thing now. Now, blow your

Unknown: 00:10:04

mind to your heart. And know that you can trust yourself.

Unknown: 00:10:16

Know that you are calm and quiet. You will take the right

Unknown: 00:10:22

decisions for yourself.

Unknown: 00:10:30

Be grateful for the time you took the side today to reconnect

Unknown: 00:10:38

to yourself.

Unknown: 00:10:54

Namaste, musty maybe if the time to go for a walk and to

Unknown: 00:11:09

cultivate this peaceful state of mind.

Unknown: 00:11:15

Maybe you go to bed now. But maybe you also have to go and

Unknown: 00:11:25

go, I get things done. Remember this very peaceful state of mind

Unknown: 00:11:33

and take it with you. And whenever something irritates you

Unknown: 00:11:37

confuses you,

Unknown: 00:11:40

you remember this feeling and come back to it. And you can do

Unknown: 00:11:45

that wherever you are in this world. You can do it while

Unknown: 00:11:49

queuing at a grocery store or waiting at a bank or at a

Unknown: 00:11:55

doctor's appointment while you walk. Remember that very

Unknown: 00:12:04

confident, calm state of being that you can be that you are.

Unknown: 00:12:16

Thank you for listening to the Borealis experience. I'm your

Unknown: 00:12:20
