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. Sorry, my puppy is

playing in the background.

And just distracted me a little bit. Thank you so much for

tuning in, I have so much respect for you. And yeah, don't

hesitate to leave me a comment, join me on Facebook and connect

with me. I hope you're doing well. And if you're not doing

well, I hope this little episode here helps you to feel better. I

also have a website where you can find my podcast, www the

Borealis experience.com. And the reason I'm mentioning this is

that at the very top, you can put in keywords. And if you want

to find an episode to a specific topic, you just put in that

keyword, and it will spit you out an episode on that topic. If

I haven't produced an episode on a topic that you need and want

me to talk about, then never hesitate to shoot me a message.

And let me know what you need. And I will make sure to cover

your topic. Also anonymously if you don't want to be mentioned.

As promised today. I want to talk about love starvation. Why

do I want to talk about it, because this is what I feel. I

feel that we are all on so many levels starved. We're so hungry

for love. physical touch, healing touch, deep connection,

intimacy, warmth, feeling understood, feeling seen feeling

heard. And all I can say is I want to help that I want to

alleviate these feelings. And now my dog is feeding on

something that I have to take out of his mouth. I will be

right back. Now we got everything sorted. So we feel

disconnected. We feel we see people through a plexiglass and

we literally like we actually do at the grocery store, at least

here in Canada. We see each other but we don't really

connect deeply. We are craving physical touch. yet. We're so

scared because what if the person rejects me? What if

society says this is harassment? What if

it's so crazy. Like physical touches, something so natural.

Yet right now. This, how these weird mixed messages around it.

And we don't really know how to behave with each other anymore.

And this whole virus talk this whole virus dominating our

societies is not making it better. Because now we're being

told now we believe now we live in fear of the other being in

contact with another person might kill you might kill

another person that you love and have contact with. And I'm not

here to say this is wrong, the news are bad blah, blah, blah.

I'm never gonna engage in that conversation. But all I'm seeing

is people being lonely and pain because we're being love

starved. So what can we do about this? What can we do to feel

better to be more connected to ourselves to feel more loving,

accepting towards yourself and then to bring that to the

outside world. I use this time of isolation, too deeply

reconnect to myself. And I'm doing it the very basic way.

Yeah, I went through a yoga teacher training and I'm very

interested in meditation and such. But what I'm doing, I feel

is like the real basic of being a human being, breathing, tuning

into your breath. Is my breath shallow? Or do I allow my entire

lungs to breathe in an exhale? I put one hand onto my heart, and

feel my heartbeat. Can you imagine there's people out there

I once worked with a client. And he said, he cannot have earbuds

in his ears. Because sometimes that makes him hear his pulse,

his heartbeat, and that freaks him out. And I just thought, oh

my god, like he can't even hear your own heartbeat. That's so

crazy. That is you that is what keeping what keeps your life

laying down on the floor. closing your eyes, you know,

being on a hard surface and feeling your lungs expanding and

then retracting again, expanding and retracting. Maybe hover

above yourself, and look down on yourself. And look at your body.

Look how magnificent it is. It is not only protecting you, but

it is keeping your life it is constantly there for you.

And then you go further and maybe you have a mirror and can

look yourself in the eyes or maybe you just can look out the

window and you see that your eyes are consuming. What are

your eyes consuming? Are they consuming? Good nurturing

energy? Or is it fast food? Do you see the beauty of life out

there? I do you see gray shades and darkness and fear and

hatred. Now you go to your ears. What are your ears consuming?

Said beautiful soothing music is it a soothing voice of someone

you love is it content that makes you feel good. When it

comes to physical touch, when you have a shower Do you just go

through your quick routine of scrubbing off all the parts and

then Off you go. But you deeply appreciate a little bit of self

love there. Not in a sexual way. But just touching your skin.

Thanking your body for being there for you each second of

your life.

When you wash your hair when you massage your head a little bit.

You can see that you can give yourself warmth, love and

shelter and nurturing with your bare hands without any expensive

creams or whatever is out there that people are trying to sell

to you.

Your hands can be very healing not only on other bodies but you

can touch your skin. You can massage your head or your

shoulders, your neck, you can put your hands onto your belly

onto your heart as a couple mu dress from yoga that you can put

your fingers in, and certain positions that I still like

haven't understood it fully. But I can certainly feel it when you

bring your index and your thumb together, and your three other

fingers are kind of stretched away a little bit. It's kind of

a closed circle, now, you can massage your temples. Next time

you eat, you can send gratefulness

off to all the people out there

who have helped you to have that food on your plate. Matching,

matching the chain of all the people helping out. And then you

taste that food. And you're deeply appreciate what you're

eating there. You know, that what you eat is what you become.

Right? you ingest your food, and you not only poop it out again,

your body actually takes it in, takes the nutrients out and

keeps it in your body supports your nervous system, your

organs, your heart. Everything you eat will affect your health,

and the way you feel mentally and emotionally. So you sit

there, you appreciate your food. You appreciate everybody who has

helped you to get it onto your plate. And then you imagine your

body absorbing all the good nutrients. And you know what the

funny thing is with people who want to lose weight, once they

do this little exercise, they realize Holy shit, like I don't

need that extra chocolate. I don't need that extra fries that

I just ordered. My body is soaking all of this in. I have

to scrub my pants and my plates and my cutlery with so much

soap. Because it is so greasy and all caked in. But this is

what is happening inside of your body now. So all I'm saying here

is that deep appreciation for your body will change the way

you see yourself and feel about yourself. And you don't need

anything for it. Just your presence. Just a little bit of

imagination. And the more aware you will become of how you treat

your body, the more aware you will be with what you put into

your body. Your body is like I want to say that entity that

makes you feel all these things read the feelings and the pain,

the suffering the love. So if you treat that body Well, you

will be more receptive to love as well. And that in return can

be seen by other people. They can see the self acceptance, the

self respect, they can see that glow and they will be so

magnetized by you. being present with yourself and taking deep

care of yourself. They want to connect to that because that is

something they are missing. And then you can teach them what I'm

teaching you here. And then if people are open for it, you can

start a conversation, a deep connection. And we can start to

talk about physical touch again. I feel like I said at the

beginning there's so many mixed messages out there when it comes

to physical touch and sexuality and consent and harassment and

blah blah blah if we learn to properly communicate with each

other again We will open up to each other, like flowers to the

bee. And then you can be the bee again, or you can be the flower

and receive. And we can all connect on deeper levels to each

other again. But we have to gain trust again, there's so much

distrust and fear out there. We have to gain trust in ourselves

and our bodies. Trust that we can strengthen our immune system

with these self love practices. And maybe additionally, taking

vitamins, going for walks, drinking enough water. And

sleeping.

Sleep is so incredibly important. And I'm also

providing you with meditations here. So when you go onto my

website, the Borealis experience.com and put in the

search bar meditation, it should spit you out a couple episodes

on meditation, and that can very well help you on finding a

deeper sleep. So I see and feel the love starvation in our

society. And my vision is to give people these tools. And the

funny thing is that I know we each have these tools, we just

have to be remembered. I'm not teaching you something new here,

I'm just remembering you have the power you have and not only

the power, but the connection to yourself that you have. And I

remind you, sorry, I don't say I remember you I remind you. I

remind you of the huge love that you're carrying inside of

yourself. And that love wants to be expressed towards yourself.

And then through that towards others. Deep trust deep love, go

hand in hand and can dissolve hatred and fear. conversations,

raw conversations, asking questions, being curious,

instead of making assumptions will spark raw and beautiful,

connecting, nurturing conversations again. and that in

turn will make us feel less lonely and more connected. That

is my vision for the next couple of months and years to come. To

remind you of the deep connection that you can have to

yourself and then to others. Thank you so much for listening

to this episode here. leave you for now that you're on your own.

You know where you can find me always on Instagram, the

Borealis experience on Facebook, Aurora Eggert. I'm so grateful

to be on this journey with you. Until next time, bye bye
