Hello beautiful listener,
Thank you for joining in on this guided meditation and today's topic as the title says is the state of urgency and how to ease into it as a way to let go of the intensity of the urgency in our body.
So if you would with me please take a deep breath.
We tend to feel this state of urgency in so many different ways that we might not even fully notice all of them but as an example we can experience those feelings when we are waiting for someone to get out of our way in the grocery store or in traffic.
We feel this state of urgency when we're just trying to get that task done already.
You may even feel this urgency when we're waiting for a text or a call from that special someone.
You might begin to think more,
Be distracted,
And overall more antsy and typically this doesn't serve us well in our day nor for our personal health.
So maybe you are recalling right now moments in your day where you did experience this urgency feeling in your body,
Being aware of maybe how uptight or tense it really makes you.
Let's take another deep breath together.
The state of urgency also reminds me of the rushness that we feel in the day,
The impatience,
The longing,
The seeking,
Or the expecting.
Instead of trying to actually complete the task or achieve that goal to give us that sense of relief,
How can we achieve that goal or that outcome with a state of groundedness instead?
There's many practices to relax your body,
Relax your nervous system,
And one of the tools I'll talk about today is actually having a conversation with your nervous system.
That might look like you asking your nervous system,
What's up?
Why so urgent?
Why so tense?
Why so impatient?
How can we learn to be more in the moment?
How can we learn to move through life with more ease?
You as the observer are in a relationship with your nervous system,
With your body,
And so when you talk to your body you will receive answers.
How can we pause before we act upon this urgent feeling?
It's all about the pauses,
The pauses.
When you look at a tree,
Maybe try actually looking at the space in between the leaves.
Look at the space in your room.
Look at the space in your mind.
We can also imagine that the state of urgency is almost like this little,
Little creature and it's just bouncing up and down everywhere trying to get our attention and it does such a good job.
We can tell it that it's okay that I see you and I'm listening and that we will get to the things that you want when we allow more ease to flow in.
Take another deep breath and create even more space within you with the inhale and releasing any tension with the exhale.
As you continue to talk to this urgent feeling,
You can communicate with it and let it know that you are going to get around to the thing that it wants you to complete and you can thank it for wanting the best for you,
Wanting for you to complete that thing or for that specific outcome to happen.
And just as you would with a kid,
You can be the one to create the discipline with this little urgent creature.
And sometimes just saying a simple thank you to whatever feeling is present and immediately ease the intensity of it.
That is the beautiful power of gratitude.
And now with this greater sense of ease and flow,
You can begin to bring your attention back into your body by swaying your torso side to side and wiggling your toes and your fingers.
Maybe doing some head rolls before you continue your day or before bed.
And whenever you feel called to,
You may open your eyes.
I wish you a lovely day and night.
Thank you.
