Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

experience meditations. I'm your host Aurora. Thank you so much

for inspiring me motivating me to meditate each day.

I'm trying to post a meditation for you, for every area in your

life for every mood, so that you can conveniently choose whatever

is best for you today, we all go through different phases and

live through different times. And I just want to make sure

that we find something for everybody here.

So today's episode is a meditation for when you feel

exhausted.

In my podcast, we will explore which areas in your life are

sucking energy out of you, instead of

making you feel good about yourself and others. What is it

that depletes your energy.

But today we want to focus on when it's too late when you feel

exhausted.

And maybe it is in the morning, maybe it is in the evening.

Excuse me.

Don't be driving, don't be operating machinery.

Today, I suggest you lay down on your back or you go into child's

pose. If you don't know how a child's pose look like looks

like please stop the meditation right here and look it up on

Google. Otherwise, you're basically sitting on your knees,

your bum is resting on your heels. And then you fold your

torso over your thighs so that your forehead is touching the

floor, your shin, your feet, maybe even your shoulders, you

have your arms alongside your body and the palms open up to

the sky.

It's a very restorative pose that I like to take whenever I

feel exhausted or sad or

just empty

when you lay down on the floor

I want you to

sink in heavily into your mat or into the ground.

Tuck your chin slightly so that your neck is nice and long.

And then open up your palms to the ceiling have your arms a

little bit further apart from your body, not T shaped but say

30 degrees

away from your body on the ground resting.

Now your legs if you lay down are also

maybe one feet and a half apart

and your feet are kind of opening up to the side

falling to the side heavily

come into your breath

and thank yourself for showing up today. I

think it's the hardest thing to do when you feel exhausted

already. Then you just want to

stay on your phone longer

slouch on the couch, emotionally eat

whatever you do when you feel exhausted and want to feel

energized again.

But the biggest favor you can do yourself

is just be with yourself for a couple minutes.

Come back to your breath

maybe you can have a window open.

Maybe it's not cold outside, maybe you have really good air

to breathe in and out

notice the cold air coming through your nose

and warm air coming back out your mouth

with every inhale you take,

you bring oxygen into your body, you nourish and energize your

body.

With every exhale you take, you provide food for the plants

around us.

And you get rid of

gases that we don't need inside of our body

and water to

inhale.

Times when we feel exhausted, it is that we over consumed

something. We get bombarded with news every day. Maybe you had to

go through a fight. Maybe you feel sad for a long time already

because of COVID Never ending

as usually things that

affect us from the outside

and drain us. But from the inside we can

kind of make room for goodness again and for energy.

So now imagine that every time you inhale, you make space.

For goodness,

exhale, exhale the stuff that you soaked up that is not making

you feel good.

And then inhale

and exhale

then maybe emphasize on exhaling. If you feel exhausted,

you want to let go more.

So big inhale and then longer exhale

and then inhale

and exhale

if a child's pose is new to you and feels uncomfortable by now

then please feel free to go into

laying onto your back.

If you feel good and Child's Pose, then

try to focus on breathing into your lower back.

The lower back is

very, very sensitive when it comes to stress and exhaustion.

It usually tenses up.

An inch Chad's pose you can

over your breath, massage it

and really guiding your breath to the lower back.

totally relax your shoulders down. Let the mount over your

knees.

When you lay back on the floor at the mount

into the ground.

Remember your face beautiful resting bitchface

relax the little muscles around your eyes around your mouth.

Relax your jaw

and again, some deep gratitude into your heart

because you're doing exactly the red thing for yourself today.

Come back to your breath.

Focus on big inhale

and big exhale

maybe you want to set an intention for the rest of your

day. Maybe you want to be mindful,

super caring with yourself.

Maybe you want to go to bed right away and just sleep.

Maybe you want to have a big glass of water. Really good

nourishing food.

Set your intention now for what feels best for you.

Big inhale

and exhale

now if you're wearing Child's Pose, slowly come on up into a

kneeling position or easy seat.

If you're laying down on the floor, you can stay there or

come to a seat as well

and then bring your hands to your heart

bow your head down and gratitude

you are not a victim of external circumstances. You shine your

own light,

your own energy

protected fiercely

don't hide it.

Relax into it.

We need you out there.

You're never alone.

Take good care of yourself.

Namaste.

Thank you so much for listening to this meditation here on the

Borealis experience. I hope you feel more relaxed, more

energized maybe

if you want to drink a big glass of water

and spend a good rest of your day.

I'll be sending out

another meditation very soon. Thank you so much for supporting

me. Bye bye
