Ep.6 Meditation Intro for people who don’t want to meditate!

Unknown: 00:00:09

Hello, Hello, this is the Borealis experience, and

Unknown: 00:00:12

this will be the first meditation I will be posting.

Unknown: 00:00:17

I'm very excited, because it might serve you greatly in being

Unknown: 00:00:25

more resilient, being more at peace with yourself. And it is

Unknown: 00:00:29

my friend, Adriana, who requested, guided meditation.

Unknown: 00:00:36

Thank you so much for asking me to do this. So let's get

Unknown: 00:00:42

started. This first meditation is a meditation for people who

Unknown: 00:00:47

don't like

Unknown: 00:00:47

meditating.

Unknown: 00:00:51

People who feel they're too restless and a waste of time.

Unknown: 00:00:58

And what does it help anyways, because that has been me for the

Unknown: 00:01:03

longest times. I have friends who kept telling me Come on, try

Unknown: 00:01:09

yoga, try meditation and might help you and I just had this

Unknown: 00:01:13

huge resistance to meditation, and a couple things helped me to

Unknown: 00:01:25

try it out to keep trying. And now I'm at a place where I don't

Unknown: 00:01:32

have as much resistance to it anymore, it still takes me some

Unknown: 00:01:36

energy to overcome myself, but I realize it serves me more than

Unknown: 00:01:43

not doing it. So that's why I want to share with you today,

Unknown: 00:01:47

just give it a try. Be patient with yourself and surrender to

Unknown: 00:01:54

your heart and soul. So what I want you to do is not be driving

Unknown: 00:02:01

not be driving a car, bicycle, or operating machinery. Best

Unknown: 00:02:09

would be if you are at home, or in a safe place. Sitting down.

Unknown: 00:02:15

You can also lay down if sitting is not what you want to do right

Unknown: 00:02:20

now. There's very different kinds of meditations, his

Unknown: 00:02:26

meditations where we visualize those meditations where I just

Unknown: 00:02:33

take you on a trip through your body, and many, many more. You

Unknown: 00:02:38

can be even walking when you meditate, or you can be queuing,

Unknown: 00:02:45

at the bank or in a grocery store, you can be in your car.

Unknown: 00:02:51

But I think the easiest way to start out meditating is when you

Unknown: 00:02:55

are at home in a place where there's limited distractions. So

Unknown: 00:03:02

you will be sitting or laying down. Now when you're sitting, I

Unknown: 00:03:09

want you to imagine your pelvis where you can even put your

Unknown: 00:03:14

hands on your pelvis and you try to imagine it's a muesli bowl

Unknown: 00:03:22

that you can kind of spill out and you can bring it back. So

Unknown: 00:03:32

you'll be doing when you feed your sit bones, you'll be kind

Unknown: 00:03:38

of massaging them into the ground and feel them on both

Unknown: 00:03:43

sides. And you can slightly tip your pelvis to the front of the

Unknown: 00:03:52

room. As if that mute Miss level was going to spell out a little

Unknown: 00:03:57

bit of the milk. And when you do that movement, without any big

Unknown: 00:04:02

effort, your upper body is straight without big muscle

Unknown: 00:04:10

tension without having to think a lot about chest out chin in

Unknown: 00:04:16

blah blah, blah. just tried to correct the position of your

Unknown: 00:04:21

spine through your pelvis. And then maybe roll your shoulders

Unknown: 00:04:27

up and back and have the chin slightly tucked in a comfortable

Unknown: 00:04:38

way. Now your hands you can have your hands palm down, resting on

Unknown: 00:04:49

your thighs which is a more grounding sensation. Or you can

Unknown: 00:04:57

have them palm up to the ceiling. I'm open to the

Unknown: 00:05:00

ceiling, which makes you more open to receive. So whatever

Unknown: 00:05:07

feels right for you today, I would just have my hands palm

Unknown: 00:05:13

down. And then just see what happens in your mind, I love to

Unknown: 00:05:25

call it the monkey mind. Because when we're trying to meditate,

Unknown: 00:05:29

the monkey mind is most active. Maybe it comes up with ideas

Unknown: 00:05:35

like, I don't want to sit like this, I want to lay down, then

Unknown: 00:05:40

try to resist it. Maybe it comes up with a to do list. This is

Unknown: 00:05:47

what I would like to do instead, instead of sitting here,

Unknown: 00:05:54

maybe it's another urge. Maybe it's like, oh, my God, I just

Unknown: 00:05:57

realized I have to send out that email. I should do it right now,

Unknown: 00:06:02

before I forget. Or maybe it's physical sensations that come

Unknown: 00:06:09

up. Like you're hungry, you're thirsty. The trick, when you

Unknown: 00:06:16

start meditating is that you notice these thoughts. You

Unknown: 00:06:23

acknowledge them, you see them, and then you let them flow away.

Unknown: 00:06:29

Because maybe you set a timer for five minutes. You know, five

Unknown: 00:06:36

minutes is not gonna hurt you at all, or anything in your daily

Unknown: 00:06:41

life, to just put aside for yourself, and then I want you to

Unknown: 00:06:53

notice your breath, maybe you can now put a hand on your belly

Unknown: 00:06:58

on your sternum, on your heart. And just notice where your

Unknown: 00:07:05

breath is going. Is it calm and soothing? Or is it shallow and

Unknown: 00:07:18

excited. Maybe you can even feel your heartbeat. Feel the air

Unknown: 00:07:28

entering your nose and it's cool. And the further you draw

Unknown: 00:07:33

it inside of your body, it gets warmer. When you exhale, you can

Unknown: 00:07:41

choose to exhale through your nose or very gently through your

Unknown: 00:07:47

mouth. You're very good. And now maybe your mind is back to a to

Unknown: 00:08:04

do list to the things that you should be doing or maybe you had

Unknown: 00:08:10

a fight and you want to resolve it or you want to be mad. Just

Unknown: 00:08:17

notice for five minutes, just look at it from Brad's

Unknown: 00:08:22

perspective. And let it go. And then you tune in to your breath

Unknown: 00:08:29

again. cool air coming in. Warm air entering your chest. And

Unknown: 00:08:43

then also warm air being exhaled.

Unknown: 00:08:57

Very good.

Unknown: 00:08:59

I haven't set a time on yet. I just see the time running on my

Unknown: 00:09:05

phone here.

Unknown: 00:09:11

And I think this gave you enough of a taste of what meditation

Unknown: 00:09:16

can feel like. For me meditation is more about a feeling that you

Unknown: 00:09:22

are capable, powerful to create. Without any thing from the

Unknown: 00:09:28

outside. You just work from the inside. And the thoughts you put

Unknown: 00:09:36

them in the backseat because they rule our life most of the

Unknown: 00:09:41

time. And in meditation, you're trying to switch the positions,

Unknown: 00:09:48

your heart, your breathing. That calm energy that you have deep

Unknown: 00:09:55

inside of you is now at the steering wheel. Your racing

Unknown: 00:10:01

thoughts are just there to be noticed. Beautiful. Thank you so

Unknown: 00:10:14

much for listening. And for some reason, yeah, I don't see you. I

Unknown: 00:10:19

don't see you. I don't talk to you in person right now. But I

Unknown: 00:10:24

can still feel your energy connecting with mine, when you

Unknown: 00:10:29

listen to my voice here. And it makes me feel really good and

Unknown: 00:10:34

motivates me. And this was your first teaser of meditation.

Unknown: 00:10:41

Just

Unknown: 00:10:42

move on with your life now. dive back into your daily life. And

Unknown: 00:10:47

maybe tonight or maybe during the day, you will remember this

Unknown: 00:10:52

deep sensation of calm and peace that you just felt. And

Unknown: 00:10:57

following meditations, I want to give you more of that. Until

Unknown: 00:11:02

then, I love you lots. You're so worth it. You're so worth

Unknown: 00:11:07

focusing time on yourself. I Stellwagen
