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
