Hello, hello. This is the boreal of experience
Unknown:meditations. Thank you so much for joining me today. Very
Unknown:excited to be spending a little bit of time with you.
Unknown:Find a comfortable seat or lay down on the ground.
Unknown:Don't be driving or operating machinery if you are listening
Unknown:to this episode today
Unknown:All right. If you're sitting up straight,
Unknown:try to find a balance between
Unknown:effort and ease.
Unknown:And
Unknown:you should feel sitting up straight
Unknown:as effortlessly as possible.
Unknown:Maybe close your eyes, relax the muscles around your eyes, your
Unknown:jaw, your forehead,
Unknown:roll your shoulders up and back
Unknown:and take a deep breath in. And
Unknown:it is very cold here it is.
Unknown:Nine o'clock in the morning minus 10 degrees. I just went
Unknown:out to the chickens to feed them and their water was frozen. And
Unknown:it just thought oh my god, this is how my day starts.
Unknown:And then I thought no, I'm just gonna meditate now and not lead
Unknown:anything.
Unknown:bug me today.
Unknown:So we set an intention.
Unknown:Maybe it is in the morning for you. Maybe it is in the evening.
Unknown:That's okay too.
Unknown:We set an intention for resilience and effortlessness.
Unknown:Today we let things flow. Just like our breath.
Unknown:That's where we start.
Unknown:So inhale on the count of 41234 and then exhale. 432101 inhale
Unknown:2344321
Unknown:Very good.
Unknown:Okay, breathing like that.
Unknown:Because it is through breathing that we can kind of influence
Unknown:our nervous system
Unknown:and calm ourselves down when something upsets us or triggers
Unknown:us.
Unknown:So deep inhale
Unknown:and an exhale
Unknown:and maybe you want to extend your inhale and exhale
Unknown:you're free to do that now.
Unknown:Again, relax the muscles around your eyes come back to normal
Unknown:breath maybe a little deeper heavier breathing and when we
Unknown:started
Unknown:I mentioned that quote before from Bruce Lee.
Unknown:A relaxed muscle hits hardest.
Unknown:Empty your mind.
Unknown:So what he means by that as
Unknown:I relaxed
Unknown:state of mind
Unknown:relaxed body
Unknown:has the most effect and the world
Unknown:an empty your mind, I feel is also a beautiful quote because
Unknown:we don't want to start a day or end the day with a million
Unknown:thoughts racing. You want him
Unknown:You know, kind of dozy state where we can set intentions for
Unknown:the night or for the day
Unknown:and just be in a good place with ourselves
Unknown:come back to your breath
Unknown:the more we observe our thoughts and our breathing, the more we
Unknown:can influence them
Unknown:and come back to this peaceful state during the day
Unknown:like an anchor
Unknown:bring your hands to heart center. If you were laying down
Unknown:on the ground, come up into a comfortable seat.
Unknown:Press your thumbs against your sternum, maybe feel your
Unknown:heartbeat.
Unknown:Now boy your mind down to your heart.
Unknown:And once again, set the intention
Unknown:today
Unknown:everything is gonna go with ease.
Unknown:Nothing can shake me or break me.
Unknown:And if there is something upsetting I'm resilient enough
Unknown:to respond
Unknown:in the best way I can
Unknown:my breath is flowing in and out and nurturing my body and my
Unknown:soul.
Unknown:My mind is clear, sharp,
Unknown:creative. Enjoy us.
Unknown:Namaste
Unknown:thank you so much for joining me on that quick little intention.
Unknown:Meditation.
Unknown:I hope you have a wonderful day.
Unknown:Or if this was just before bedtime, I hope you have a great
Unknown:sleep. I will be posting
Unknown:meditations in the future for people who struggle with
Unknown:insomnia.
Unknown:Feel a lot of us are struggling with interrupted sleep
Unknown:Thank you for listening. Your host Aurora. Bye bye
