Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

experience. I'm your host Aurora, and I'm very happy to be

spending some time with you today.

I hope you're doing well. It is November, it is a DAG month, it

is a month that might bring up some old stuff that we urgently

need to let go. It is a munstead is a little bit slower and pace,

a little bit darker and sunlight. And that affects of

psyche intensely. What I like to do in the winter months is to

amp up my vitamin intake a little bit because I'm prone to

winter depression. And that seems to be helping. I also have

a very rigid routine when it comes to walking. Walking just

20 minutes a day, at your own pace. Doesn't have to be uphill

or downhill can improve your mental health drastically, and

your physical health not only your heart and your respiratory

system, but also your lymphatic system. your lymphatic system is

helping you to detox to get rid of stuff that your body is

secreting and doesn't need anymore. And it is only

functioning once we move. And walking is a very good way of

getting your fluids moving. The lymphatic system only works

through the muscle pump in your calves, for instance. And, yeah,

it is really, really important during those months to know that

yeah, darkness might come over us but there is tools that we

can use to help ourselves. I'm also a life coach now. And I'm

more than happy to help you to Yeah, give you more specific

tools to your life to your situation. Maybe you are a mom

and overwhelmed with having to do at all maybe you are a

husband and overwhelmed with balancing work and family. Maybe

you are single and desperate to find the right partner and you

just want to manifest a good person into your life. I would

gladly help you on your journey. Whatever it is, so don't

hesitate. You can contact me on Facebook, Aurora Eggert or

Aurora Eggert coaching, and then we can make a plan. So taking

really good care of yourself during those winter months is

key. Sometimes we can rely on our friends and we have a strong

support system. And we can cry on our neighbor's shoulders or

call up our sister or a brother. But sometimes they're busy

sometimes they are overwhelmed themselves. And it is important

to know for ourselves that we can rely on us that yes, we have

other people around us who can help us but we can help

ourselves too. So another way of really making you feel good is

taking baths. And if you don't have a bathtub, taking a shower

with the intention to wash off stuff that you don't need

anymore. And if you have a bath, just soak in it as long as it

feels good with some Epsom salt in it and really let go and

relax that your body totally relax. You know our body is our

best friend who I love to say and the better, more comfortable

our body fields, the better our soul and our mind fields because

it is all interacting. Your body has sensors. Your body has five

senses. Some people have six and everything that we take in from

our environment affects not only the body, but also your mind And

you're so your heart, your emotions. So the better you take

care of your body, the better you're going to feel overall.

And sometimes we have to be a little bit of an detective and

find out, did I really give my body everything it needs in

order for me to feel good? It is winter now, where we live in

North America? Am I adjusting my pace? And am I adjusting my

nutrients and my lifestyle to this darker season? Or am I

still trying to push through and get it all done and and you

know, have that sun energy that summer energy going on, we can

use this time of the year to reflect, to relax, to release,

and to let go. And if we do that intentionally, it doesn't feel

like things are people are being ripped away from our lives. It

feels more like a gentle letting go. It feels more like yes, this

is supposed to happen. This is the leaves of a tree that are

supposed to fall onto the ground. And it is a very, very

important process. I feel because we declutter, we let go,

we go into winter, we're a little bit more quiet, a little

bit more introverted, maybe, and then come spring, we will be

full of energy, we will only be carrying what we're supposed to

be carrying around. And I think it's a it's a very beautiful

season to be in. But we have to approach it mindfully. It is

also important to not get sucked into any weird expectations when

it comes to Christmas. Any weird pressures from society side. And

this is how it's meant to be this is how it's supposed to be

and not differently. You know, that kind of vibe. It is very

important to be a little bit introspective and to really

know, what is it that I need? What is it that I aspire? What

is it that I want? And then look around me and you and see the

people that you deeply care about? What is it that they want

and need? How can we connect, but at the same time being very

authentic and not giving into some weird Christmas

expectations. A lot of people come Black Friday are very

hysterical when it comes to Christmas, gift buying. And

maybe that's not your style, maybe that's not your way to

show and express your love. And it is totally fine. Maybe you

have a different way of expressing love. And then go for

it. Don't suppress it. Don't be shy. Because we all want to

connect, we all need each other. Right? So it is important to

find out who you are, in order to make the right decisions for

yourself for yourself. This just one and for your relationships.

Be kind to yourself, be gentle. And know that yes, darkness

might come up. But it is okay. You're not alone in this. We're

all in this together. We all feel the darkness creeping up on

us. We all feel the uncertainty and the weirdness that COVID has

brought into our lives. We're all trying to do the best for us

and for our families. So let us not only be gentle with

ourselves, but also with others and know that everybody has

their story. Everybody has their reasoning. And the more we ask

gentle questions, the more we can make sense of other people's

situations and decision making. Making assumptions having

opinions is a natural given. That's where we love to be in

yeah in a state of having an opinion and making assumptions

and bonding through opinions and assumptions. But it is not

always a smart way when it comes to wanting to connect with

people. Sometimes we have to make the decision. Do we want to

connect? Or do we want to be right?

And before the holidays, before all these Christmas gatherings,

let us set that intention. Be intentional about it. If you

want to be right, no matter what, and you don't care about

the relationships and you want kind of, you know, stand up for

yourself and test your relationships, then don't get me

wrong, I'm all for it. And that energy is totally cool too. But

maybe you feel lonely, maybe you want deep connections. And then

having your opinions and assumptions right in front of

you. You know, carrying them like a shield is not going to

make you connect deeply with people. So be tender. Let go of

stuff, let go of opinions and assumptions. If it feels right

for you at the moment if you feel that it takes away tension.

And enjoy those more darker and slower months. There's always

two sides of a coin, right? The darker month don't only bring

pain and weakness and depression. They can also have

very healing sides to themselves. Thank you so much

I care deeply for you. I'm so happy to have you here. And to

connect with you over Facebook to hear your comments to hear

your experiences. And to be connected. It is incredibly

awesome for me to know that I can bring you peace and help you

recharge your batteries. And yeah, I'm just so glad to be

serving you. take really good care of yourself. And I will be

out there very soon again. Bye bye
