Hi lovelies.
Lauren here.
I am glad.
Glad that you are here,
That we are here right now.
Choose to lie down or sit down to practice this meditation.
Sit down or lie down comfortably and relax.
We will begin.
Let your shoulders drop.
The brows soften.
The jaw.
Unhinge just a little.
Inhale.
.
.
And exhale.
If you choose to do so,
Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth.
You can use this practice anytime at all.
In the morning,
At midday.
In the evening.
However,
This practice.
Is being recorded as the sun rises.
So in the background you can hear,
You can listen to Australian birds.
There are cockatoos,
Rosellas,
Parrots,
And more.
You may even hear,
If you are lucky,
A kookaburra.
I can see the hills and the brilliant orange as the sun rises.
It is beautiful.
Breathe now at your pace in a way which suits you.
I can see gold along the horizon.
The air,
It is cool.
It is cold.
The birds are just beginning their morning.
Or perhaps.
.
.
You are finishing your day.
At times in this practice,
There will be extended silence.
Use the silence for self-reflection,
For healing,
For nervous system reset.
Because you can.
Today is about rising.
In your timing in a way which suits you.
This practice is about.
Somatic security,
Safety,
And arrival.
Imagine placing one hand on top of the other.
On your belly.
You can choose to actually place your hand on your belly.
However,
Your mind is infinitely powerful.
So if you wish to do so just imagine hand on belly.
And imagine the other hand on your heart.
One on your belly.
One on your heart.
Breathe.
Breathe in,
Belly rises.
Breathe out,
Belly softens.
Breathe in.
Rises.
Breathe.
Out softens.
Breathe in hope.
Healing.
Breathe out.
.
.
Letting go.
Acceptance.
Breathe in,
Hope.
Healing.
Breathe.
Out.
Acceptance.
Acceptance.
Let go.
Feel a sense of support.
Know that you are supported.
Physically supported and mindfully supported.
You are supported by the surface beneath you.
And you are supported by the infinite.
Capability possibility of your mind.
Capitalizing on the infinite potential of your mind.
Requires.
Development of skill and practice.
Repetition.
Breathe in and out.
Breathe.
Ouch.
Now imagine a pendulum.
Like in a clock.
Or perhaps in a metronome that stands upon a piano.
Imagine a pendulum.
Moving side to side.
Watch,
Watch the pendulum moving left to right.
Left to right,
Tick tock.
Now notice a slightly activated space in your chest or your throat.
Heart space or throat space.
Now notice a neutral,
Pleasant place.
Hands,
Palms or soles of your feet.
Activated place,
Chest,
Throat,
Neutral place hands,
Soles of the feet.
Move your attention between these two places.
From activation to neutral.
Activation to neutral.
Chest or throat,
You choose one,
Two,
Hands or feet.
Choose one.
Activation to neutral.
Chest,
Throat to hands.
Or soles of the feet.
Notice the pendulum action.
This is part of the process of grounding and the process of becoming.
Becoming.
Clear-minded.
Wise,
Enlightened.
Imagine the pendulum.
Imagine in some ways that you are like a pendulum.
Moving from an activated place,
The kindness of heart space,
The voice,
The communication of the throat space.
Down to the grounding,
The neutral space of hands,
Palms,
Soles of the feet.
The process of feeling with compassion and kindness.
And anchoring.
Re-anchoring the soul.
The mind.
The process of hope.
And then tolerance,
The tolerance of anchoring,
The hope that comes with kindness.
The pendulum.
Moving side to side to side.
Continue to imagine.
Be mindful.
Your mind is infinitely free.
Powerful.
What do you imagine you can say?
What you see.
Is much more likely to occur.
Imagine with detail.
As you breathe,
As you imagine the pendulum,
Say to yourself silently affirm I am here.
I am held,
I am allowed to feel good.
I am here.
I am held.
I am allowed to feel good.
I am here.
I am held.
I am allowed to feel good.
I feel good.
I feel good.
Relax release your body your whole body head to toe.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Notice any micro movements,
Any desire to move the eyes or jaw or head.
Say to your body silently,
It's okay to relax.
It's okay to let go.
Nothing is expected of you right now.
If you wish to do so,
Sigh.
Ugh.
I love spice.
Now,
With breathing gently at your own pace.
Lengthen the exhale.
Lengthen the exhale.
Gently.
Relax your body.
Relax your body.
Inhale,
Exhale.
With the exhale a little longer than the inhale.
As you breathe,
Imagine a lake.
A calm lake.
A reflective like.
Imagine the lake.
Create this lake.
See the trees,
The bushes lining the shore.
Whisper to yourself,
I let go.
See?
The like.
I let go.
I let go.
I let go.
I let go.
Sit in this space of letting go.
Without attachment with our expectation.
Whatever you feel,
It's okay.
Wherever you are in your life.
It's okay.
Whatever emotions come up.
That's how it comes.
Move with the process.
Clarity.
Stoicism.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Reframing intention.
Disentangle from unhelpful or less helpful thought.
Cultivate resilient perspective.
The ability to get back up.
When life goes wrong.
Getting back up is not about springing up or jumping up.
Sometimes getting back up.
Is about rocking back and forth.
Reflecting,
Processing,
Contemplating.
And slowly.
Slowly.
Getting back up getting back up.
Looks different.
In every moment.
And that's okay.
You are different in every moment.
You are a new version of yourself in every moment.
And that's okay.
Some of the versions of you are born from pain.
And suffering.
That's okay.
Sometimes at the time it doesn't seem okay.
Part.
With time it will be okay and you will be okay.
Ask yourself now,
Silently.
What here?
In my life is mine to choose and what is not.
What here is mine to choose and what is not?
Visualise two bowls.
Bowl A,
The first bowl,
Is within control.
In bowl A is my response.
My values.
My next action.
In Bowl B,
There are items,
Perspectives,
Behaviors,
Not within control.
Other people's choices are in bowl B.
The past is in bowl B.
Bowl A is within your control.
Your response,
Your values,
Your next action.
Bowl B is not within your control.
Others' choices,
Others' feelings.
The labels others may use the behaviour of others.
Not within your control.
See the balls.
Recognize each ball.
Focus upon the bowels.
Repeat the phrase to yourself silently,
I focus on what I can choose,
What I can control.
I release what I cannot control.
I focus on what I can choose.
I can control.
I release what I cannot control.
I release the need to please others.
I release the need to expect from others.
I change myself.
I change myself.
I have choice.
Over my actions,
My feelings,
My thoughts.
I choose my feelings,
I choose my thoughts,
I choose my actions.
I contemplate.
Before doing so I contemplate.
Now take several moments to notice your thoughts.
Identify a thought.
See that thought,
Recognise that thought.
And then identify another thought,
Name it.
Recognize it,
Say it to yourself silently.
Now ask yourself,
Who is doing the thinking?
Who is doing the thinking of that thought.
It is I.
What is the process between the I and the thought?
It is choice.
Choice is learned through our experiences,
It can be changed,
Relearned,
Reframed.
Say to yourself silently,
I choose my thoughts,
I choose my feelings,
I choose my actions.
It is not easy,
It is a practice,
And I practice.
My practice.
Relax,
Release your body,
Your whole body,
Your arms,
Your legs,
Your feet,
Your hands.
Consider your whole body.
And let go.
Let go.
Let go.
Say to yourself,
I choose my response,
I live my values,
I act where I may have influence.
I know myself.
I know myself.
Choose to change.
Choose one small act of change.
Whatever is going on in your life,
Choose one small act of change.
It may be a daily 20-minute walk,
It may be the choice to have breakfast.
It may be a larger change.
Such as a change at school.
Within your career or in a relationship.
One small change.
Save yourself.
With detachment.
I choose to change,
And then change.
Say to yourself,
Whatever the change is,
I choose to change.
And say it.
Repeat this to yourself with breath.
With intention.
With contemplation.
Several breaths now in silence.
Now we are going to look at abundance.
Your profound ability to create.
Create anything you wish.
Celestial alignment.
Sense a golden root from the base of your spine moving into the Earth.
A silver thread from the crown of your head to the sky.
From the base of your spine to the earth.
You feel a lengthening and as you feel this physical lengthening you feel a sense of enlightenment.
You are aware of your purpose.
You feel clear-minded.
You are directional.
There is a peaceful presence.
No highs,
No lows,
A feeling of awareness.
You know who you are,
You know what needs to be done,
You feel a profound sense of acceptance together with a sense of motivation.
Motivation and acceptance,
The motivation to move through uncertain times,
The acceptance for what is.
The balance,
The profound balance of life.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
As you breathe in now,
Say to yourself silently,
I receive.
As you breathe out now,
Say to yourself silently,
I release.
Breathe in,
I receive.
Breathe out,
I release.
Breathe in,
Receive,
Out,
Release.
In Receive Out Release.
Now choose to heal.
You can heal yourself.
Imagine you are like a castle and you have a moat around you.
The moat represents boundaries,
Boundaries which protect your values.
Your values are your foundation.
In every situation in life,
You have three choices.
You have the choice to withdraw the choice to accept The choice to change.
They are the three choices.
You choose.
You choose because you can.
Stand firm in your ability to choose.
Start now.
Whoever you are right now.
You are good enough.
Say to yourself silently,
I am good enough in this moment right now.
I am good enough in this moment right now.
Relax,
Release your body.
Relax.
Release your body.
Imagine now,
Imagine that you are recalibrating your body.
Your body has the ability to heal itself.
Recalibrate.
Imagine a golden light extending through your entire nervous system.
Introduce healing.
Invite warmth into your soul.
Into your nervous system.
Reset your nervous system,
Recalibrate.
How?
By being present.
By being curious.
By feeling acceptance yet simultaneously motivation to become the person you are destined to become.
Away from the naysayers.
Be yourself.
Be the person you are destined to become.
Relax,
Release.
Relax,
Relax your body.
Relax,
Release.
Relax,
Release your body.
Relax,
Release.
Relax,
Relax your body.
Relax,
Release.
Relax,
Relax your body.
