It's it's it's now So some of the things that we're gonna be doing now is gonna be an entering into sleep for some of you and some of us It's gonna be entering into our our day So it's 12 minutes of meditation approximately So we're starting up in like a minute I'd like to again just advertise for doing some journaling every day writing down Yesterday I wrote down am I willing to feel incompetent?
And I wrote meditate on this and then also wrote meditate on What do I truly long for so that was with me throughout yesterday?
And more,
You know several times I stopped and I asked myself What do I truly long for?
And I asked myself what do I truly long for?
Especially when I was feeling contraction something that didn't go my way What do I truly long for?
So let's go ahead and go into this day number two and I tend to build it up like in three steps.
One is like just entering preparing second step is the Mindfulness meditation and the third step is to reflect on something That might give us Some benefit throughout the whole day some practice So let's get let's get comfortable And again,
As I mentioned yesterday I am recording this it's it's going to be available I try to record it as I can I try to record it as I can and I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can and I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And I try to record it as I can And if it feels difficult to breathe into the heart or imagine exhaling from your heart,
Just give it time.
We have lots of days ahead of us,
So lots of time to practice.
Just do it to the best of your current ability.
Breathing into your heart gently,
As if your heart were your lungs.
And breathing out from your heart,
Out into the world.
Just completely relax your body while you're doing this.
Just find your own rhythm.
Now moving into the last step of this meditation today,
Which is to,
Throughout the rest of the day,
Bring it into your dreams if you're going to bed,
And into the day tomorrow when you wake up.
Breathe into your heart throughout the day,
As often as you remember.
Just gently breathing into your heart,
And exhaling from your heart,
And exhale into the heart,
Imagining a person that you know needs what you can offer.
The person I'm meditating right now is a person that lives in my area,
Which has been struggling for years.
They call him the bottle man.
He collects bottles and he's struggling.
But he's there,
Every day,
Walking around,
Talking to himself.
What I imagine doing is breathing into my heart gently,
And exhaling into his heart gently.
And despite his suffering,
I'm willing and open to receive whatever he might send me in this interaction.
Because I suffer too.
Maybe sometimes less,
Maybe sometimes more.
But I'm just like him.
So throughout your day,
Bring this exercise with you.
Breathing into your heart.
If somebody's agitated,
Sad,
Happy,
Breathing into your heart,
And exhaling into their heart.
If you feel agitated,
If you feel sad,
Or whatever you might feel,
Doing this also helps us connect with our heart.
So this is the end of this day two meditation.
I'm really practicing keeping time.
Because as you know,
I love what I do.
But I'm also practicing,
You know,
Keeping within time.
Because I know that some of you need to go to work,
And some of you need to go to bed,
Right?
So guys,
Thank you so much for day two.
We have lots of time to practice.
And thank you to Kathleen.
And what I've mentioned before is that,
You know,
This combination of settling in,
The combination of mindfully being with ourselves,
Really creates a beautiful relationship to ourselves.
And then bringing it into something that we can pass on to the world,
Give to the world,
Give to somebody else.
But every day,
You know,
I will take my book now.
And I will write down on day two.
You know,
And whatever you might call it,
It's completely fine.
I'll just call it the heart meditation.
So day two,
Heart meditation.
And I just draw a heart and another heart and an arrow towards that heart with some breathing.
And a heart the other way with some breathing.
So very simple.
Very simple,
Right?
And why do I do this?
Because there's been made a lot of different studies.
The last one that I read was from Howard,
Where if you want to learn something,
The most important part when you're listening to something is feeling it,
Thinking of it,
But writing it down or drawing it.
So for some people,
Like I'm very auditive,
Sorry,
Yeah,
Auditive and visual.
So for me drawing things,
I can just draw this once and I'll remember it.
When I at the same time talk about it.
If you know throughout the day,
You talk to somebody who can relate to breathing into your heart and exhaling from your heart towards somebody else's heart.
And they say,
Wow,
That's amazing.
I want to try that too.
And trust me,
If you have a partner,
If you have a relationship that's,
You know,
Conflicted,
Which is difficult,
And you want to do something really beautiful for that relationship.
First step is to take a chair,
Put that person in front of you in that chair,
Sit yourself in the other chair,
And imagine that person in the chair breathing into your heart,
Exhaling from your heart towards that person's heart,
But also breathing in from that person's heart into yours.
Even though the person is not there,
It's difficult because,
You know,
There's this hurtfulness or whatever might be causing this trouble in the relationship,
Right?
So day from day,
I'll be passing on,
You know,
These different things.

So wonderful.
That was the end of day two.
And it's just like,
You know,
Coming back home.
And what I mean by that is like,
There's something,
You know,
The old tracks that I walked so many times before,
It's like the grass has grown.
And now I'm gently stepping,
You know,
On the same old path.
And that's what's going to happen throughout the whole year.
Just getting easier and easier and easier doing this and sharing and being with you guys.
And with difficult times that are about to come,
We know that,
Right?
