Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

experience. I'm your host Aurora, and I'm very relieved

to be spending time with you today.

There's days where you're happy and light and everything flows.

There's other days where you feel irritated, angry, sad,

frustrated, or maybe you had a fight with a person you deeply

care about.

Sometimes life just feels like too much.

Sometimes we just want to hit pause, and sleep, and sleep, and

sleep it out and wake up

to a life without pain and suffering and fighting and

frustrations.

Today, I'm here to invite you to do that at times.

You know, maybe you're a mom, of young children, and you just

feel like overwhelmed. You need a break from everything.

Maybe you are a dad. And you just wish that you can have some

alone time at times and

just focus on yourself a little bit and stop caring,

being considerate for other people. Maybe you're single, and

you're desperate, and you're lonely.

And your job is stressful. And you just want to break. There's

so many scenarios

that I could that I could present here.

Me for instance, I feel totally rundown, I feel sad and

frustrated.

And it's okay.

Oftentimes, we punish ourselves on top of feeling shitty

already. Because we feel we have to fulfill that role in society,

that role in our family.

And we don't allow ourselves to hit pause for a moment.

Most of you know that I love posting little videos on

Facebook and being fun and joyful and inspiring. And it is

very hard for me to face a day where I absolutely cannot

imagine being that joyful person.

But I cannot judge myself again or punish myself for that.

Because I want to be out there for you soon again, and be the

inspiration, the motivation, the source of joy and love that I

know I am. But there's clouds on every blue sky.

And those clouds sorry out okay to be there.

So, if you're with me in this, or if you know how I feel at the

moment, I invite you to

be in peace and silence for a little bit. And it will feel

weird at the beginning.

But all of a sudden,

it can feel very, very good.

Because you know, I'm still there, I'm still breathing. I'm

still present with you.

And just making space and just allowing silence.

And to sit in silence by yourself can be very scary

because stuff might come up that you were successfully

distracting yourself from.

But trust me it is very soothing and healing to be silent at

times.

And if you are with a person who allows silence

It's incredibly powerful. It's incredibly

bonding.

So if you're driving now, a bicycle or motorcycle, a car or

a truck, whatever it is, operating machinery, I don't

recommend you continue listening to this

If you are in a safe place, or if you're going for a walk for a

hike, if you're laying down in the middle of your bedroom or

living room, if you're on a couch, that would be perfect.

Now just focus in on your breath.

And notice if you are

breathing deeply, or breathing very shallow

sometimes when we face

too much, too many emotions are coming up. Too much stuff is

going on, we're too angry, frustrated,

we tend to tense up physically and start breathing very, very

shallowly.

And if we can make the time to just rest for a couple minutes

here with me

and start to breathe deeply again.

We can deeply connect to ourselves again

and lead every single that was frustrating, kind of pushing

pause, but also a reset button.

Sometimes we try so hard, and we still get a just enough grade.

Sometimes we feel so misunderstood by people. And it

just hurts.

Sometimes people are selfish, reckless,

angry.

And we just got to see that they're probably going through

something tough. And we don't want to take it personally.

Take a deep breath, inhale through your nose

and exhale through your mouth.

And what I love to remind myself in those stages,

phases is that your heart is always on your side. Your lungs

are always helping you, supporting you to breathe.

You kidneys are always right there for you like little

soldiers

and your liver. detoxing for you all day long.

Preferably at night.

Your brain is constantly looking for solutions trying to protect

you.

And your mind. A beautiful monkey mind is the one that we

are constantly I want to say but oftentimes addressing here on

the podcast.

Let it rest for a little bit.

There's nothing to solve right now right here

can go back to problem solving mode.

When you're done here.

Just be with yourself for a moment.

Be your best friend for a moment.

And listen to yourself.

Breathing

what else you love to do is to go into birds perspective and to

look down onto myself

and to send gratitude.

Thank you for being you. Thank you for being here.

Thank you for listening to me. Thank you for being present.

Thank you for having my back.

Thank you for being

the best version that you can possibly be.

And you can go on and on and on with the list

of unconditional presence and love

to watch yourself

Maybe you want to close your eyes and relax the little

muscles around your eyes

relax your jaw

beautiful resting bitchface

relax the muscles on your forehead

maybe you can hear the wind in the background here.

Maybe you're by the sea. And you can hear the waves.

Maybe you live in a city and you can hear an ambulance in the

fire

or nearby.

cars honking

shelter children playing.

Allow it all to be there

without distracting you.

Fear it is a thing that we have to learn more and more a muscle

we need to train,

how to be with ourselves, how to give ourselves undivided

presence.

And then to learn giving that to people around us.

Because our life is

filled

with distractions.

And to learn to be with yourself with your feelings to value

yourself

is such a precious gift.

Because then we can go out and give this to people

and create deep, meaningful relationships

now if you wish to, you can bring your hands to heart

center. I'm doing it right now with closed eyes.

And I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart

for being here.

If it wasn't for you, this podcast wouldn't exist. If it

wasn't for you.

I didn't have a place to go to feel safe and relaxed again

today.

You know I meditate at times I do yoga. But sometimes all those

practices are not enough and to speak with you

to share this moment of undivided presence and

relaxation

really helped me out today.

And I will be out there very soon again, with more joyful

vibes.

Today, I just felt like

you're worthy of seeing my true face. You're worthy of seeing me

being not at my best.

I want to create a space for you here where you feel safe

to express everything you feel.

And this is what I'm doing today.

I'm stepping into that space sharing with you how I feel.

And I don't feel judged.

I don't feel that there's conditions set in place on how I

am supposed to record my episodes.

Thank you so much for being here.

I'm sending my love her to you.

Until very soon. Buh bye, Aurora
