Transcript

When you meditate,

You can sit on the edge of a chair,

You can sit on the floor with your back against the wall,

You can sit up on a block.

It's best to have your hips elevated up over your knees higher than your knees.

It's easier on the knees.

If you put yourself into a meditation shape that's causing pain or discomfort like lower back or hips,

That will become your primary focus in the meditation.

It will be ultimately become your object of meditation.

So don't do that is the point.

Make yourself comfortable,

But not so comfortable that you're falling asleep.

And again,

I will continue cuing you because you know,

You can say to your mind,

Like,

Brighten up,

Wake up and,

And take breaths.

And you do you want to you want to stay engaged in the process.

So have a drink,

Use the restroom,

Make sure your phone is on do not disturb.

Prepare your meditation seat,

We are going to move.

So go ahead and come to a child's pose.

So find your way to you can start in hands and knees.

I mean,

We're going to go to hands and knees.

So you're going to go from hands and knees to cat and cow to child's pose,

Back to hands and knees back to cat and cow back to child's pose.

Do that a few times.

So basically,

Like from a hands and knees shape,

You're wiggling around circling out your hips,

Your head,

Your neck,

Your shoulders,

You're trying to get access on a lateral plane to your spine kind of snaking it out.

Rolling around into your joints getting into your,

You know,

The shoulder heads and opening up your chest and your neck and it's a very organic movement.

And do this in a way that it's like you're underwater.

So you're not moving quickly,

You've got the resistance of water.

So you're moving really quite slowly and fluidly.

Your body is mostly water.

So see if you can kind of get into that tempo.

And you're infusing these movements with breath.

So you're breathing in and out through your nose,

If you have access to that to the best of your ability.

And you're filling your lungs from top to bottom,

Front to back,

Side to side.

If you settle back into child's pose,

You can reach your arms,

Stretch them out in front of you kind of like crawl forward on your fingertips as far as far as you can and kind of dome up onto your fingertips,

Stretching the undersides of your arms really reach and kind of stretch your chest towards the mat and then walk your hands both hands over to the left and stack your right hand on top of your left hand and breathe into the right side of the rib cage feel the intercostal muscles between each of the ribs stretch open and down the right side waist even lean your right hip over you know towards the outside of your right heel even and settle in and then walk your hands over to the other side and the same intentional process so we're really you know there's this balance that happens of participation of being intentional and you know as opposed to just flinging ourselves around and like waiting for good things to happen and you know saying things like well it's karma like well yeah but it's you know it's participation card you know or lack thereof you know so being very intentional and then allowing and observing and then bring your arms back to center and come to hands and knees but your hips are going to stay directly over your knees up over your knees but then walk your arms out in front of you and crawl until like you start to come to a big backbend reaching your chest down onto the mat you can stack your forearms and put them under your forehead but that can get crunchy in the back of your neck so really see how far you can stretch and you're you're really you're seeking a stretch in the front of the spine you can walk your chin a little forward and see if you can get a little stretch in the front of the neck but make sure that you're not causing like crunchiness in the back of your neck and breathe and breathe into the undersides of your arms breathe big into your abdomen let your belly expand and get big good and then sink your hips back to child's pose so use your hands to press you back and wiggle around on your way there and slide your hands your arms back as if you were going to like cup your hands around the outer edges of your feet

lift your hips and roll up and over the crown of your head keeping the top of your head down don't go too far just enough that you start to feel a stretch down the back of your neck so you're holding on to your feet or your calves to support you your forehead is down your hips come up and you roll up onto the top of your head move the back of your head around a little stretch the back of your neck in different ways and then lower your seat back onto your heels and just turn your head to face one direction and then turn it to face the other direction and rest and bring it back to center and stretch your arms out and come to hands and knees again and take another moment or two in cat and cow pose so you're just cat cow snake it out wiggle move your body breathe into it and then eventually

prop behind you your right hand is going to reach to the outside of your left knee and you're going to start inhaling building the length up in the spine exhaling twisting it becomes like poses become like the inhale is one and think of moving your body from the inside out so instead of from the outside to move the spine think of moving the spine and moving the body from the inside out and then get

do this with your palms flat underneath your lower back if that's what works best for you do that but have your legs straight and your arms down by your sides and your chin tucked and your shoulders relaxed and find that corseting of your abdominals it's like you're trying to hug the right and left side of your abdominals into the midline like picture lacing a corset up and like tightening it trying to bring it all together in the midline so ground your lower back down onto the earth or your hands right and pike your legs straight up now point your foot keep your foot pointed and spread

disappointed more often than not you know i mean discomfort builds character working through discomfort builds character it has purpose so put your feet down um stretch your legs out stretch your arms back take a nice big full body stretch wiggle around there however you need to and then knees are bent feet are flat anchor down and your feet should be about hip distance apart you should be able to like walk your feet back until you can touch the backs of your heels with the tips of your middle fingers and feel your toes light and feel your inner arches life light but like all of the points of your foot that are on the floor are firmly connected but lift your toes up right and then slide your tailbone underneath you and start to press your knees forward and your hips up and walk your

roll yourself slowly up to stand watch that you're not dizzy when you stack yourself all the way up and you come to standing come to tadasana like a tree arms down by your sides and let yourself acclimate to being upright good take a big breath in and let it out and then inhale reach your arms up palms together let your eyes follow look up to your fingertips and then exhale fold forward into your legs inhale lengthen your spine keep your chin tucked so it's like you're inflating from the back of your neck you've got this nice long line from the crown of your head roll your shoulders back

upward dog or cobra please shrug your shoulders and then press down and shrug your shoulders and then press down and lower your knees come back through child's pose and then you are going to prepare to sit so whatever however however we're going to um i'm going to start us with a prayer of light a kundalini prayer of light i love this prayer it's very special and near and dear to my heart um um from there i'm going to walk you into the meditation and i'm going to hold space for you i'll check in every few minutes realigning you supporting you but for the most part i'll be silent okay um when we finish the meditation um we'll move around again a little bit you will be able to take your journals or you'll receive a recording of this i will ask some journal questions for you to consider post meditation integrating um but we will have time for q a at the very end okay so find your meditation seat okay you want to be upright or in a straight spine situation and it actually really doesn't have to be upright it just needs to be a position that you're not in pain and that you're not falling asleep okay because this is you know meditation is a very conscious active practice one of the most that you'll do okay um so get all of the fidgets out and take a couple of deep breaths in and let it out with your eyes closed the first few minutes of meditation i think it's reasonable to expect to need to kind of shift your body and refine but once you settle into it you're going to attempt to stay as still as possible again not not reacting to sensations um to urges and thoughts to really pausing and asking yourself questions like is it true and am i attached and what if i breathe and and um so i will be giving you these cues throughout it's probably a good idea to have a sip of water or something before you begin if you have nobody okay i mean water and tea having water and tea i'm going to start with the prayer of light so you will silently just repeat to yourself after me peace before me peace behind me peace at my left peace at my right peace above me peace below me peace in me peace in my surroundings peace to all peace to the universe light before me light behind me light at my left light at my right light above me light below me light in me light in my surroundings light to all light to the universe love before me love behind me love at my left love at my right love above me love below me love in me love in my surroundings love to all love to the universe as you enter into this meditation open your awareness in all directions noticing not reaching for and not creating any story around just noticing your environment noticing the sounds movements the climate of the room that you're in and you're not staying fixed on any one sound or one movement or any one sensation you're just your awareness is open and aware in all directions even the way the earth feels underneath you all of it and then get a sense of yourself your whole physical self sitting here wherever you're here is really notice yourself here and now it's like you could visualize yourself sitting in this room in the in this house or apartment in this town or city like you really get a sense of yourself here in your life and you're still aware of your environment while simultaneously being very intentionally connected and aware it's be here now and that's the mantra for the practice if you need words be here now and contemplating what does that mean what does that mean to be here now so anytime during this practice that your mind starts to get away from you you can use that mantra to guide it back be here now you can contemplate each part of that what does it mean to be what's here really connect with what's here what's what's now and is now and start to notice all of the sensations that are happening simultaneously in your body never at any one point is there any one sensation solely at play the sensations are on the surface of your being the sensations are internal they're perpetual or are they and you start to notice your mind and how your mind has its own flow and at the same time you can engage it and place it where you want it to go and at the same time it generates emotions from thoughts and how really very complex it is and you're just watching and so if you're just watching your mind at play who is it that's watching and meeting that pure self-awareness awareness it's watching it's observing and it's the space that already is and yet to be anything and everything always and throughout if your potential pure light pure compassion love it's grace you are grace and you're observing the human stuff that's happening and you in this earth in this life start to notice your breath and how your breath you don't have to do anything to change it it just breathes your body watch your breath breathing your body and start to notice your breath right as it flows in and out through your nostrils from your throat from your lungs through your throat there's like these many little bones in the nose that kind of swirl and move the breath as it moves through the the cilia the little hairs in the nose as it flows in and out through your nose see if you can notice that very super subtle sensation of breath right at the base of the nostrils and we seek subtle places such as this to make our object of meditation because you have to really pay attention because you have to really pay attention giving the mind something to engage on so really identify this sweet subtle sensation of breath not with a grip of your mind or a reach but a watch and identify that as this is where i'm going to seek out turning my attention to when a thought or a sensation i engage in a process i'm going to redirect my mind i'm going to interrupt the thought and bring it here and if you need words you reflect on be here now and what each of those words mean be here now and you can also turn your awareness to link in with that seer that pure potential place of spirit that of soul that is watching watching the processes happen watching the physical sensations the thought breath the choices the linking delinking just sitting back and watching from that place so redirect your attention back onto the breath at the base of the nostrils and allow yourself to settle in there you're seeking to keep your mind and focused on the sensation of breath at the base of your nostrils but when thoughts come in or sensations that you want to want to or have the urge to respond to and to take note of that but then redirect your mind back onto the breath noticing where your thoughts go and noticing reactivity to sensation you're accumulating tension in your body can you soften it redirecting your attention to the sensation of breath at the base of the nostrils and redirecting your awareness back onto your breath every time you catch your mind wandering off and if you're starting to sag sit taller if you're getting tense relax find your breath noticing what your mind gets attached to what it focuses on and not so much the what but how strong that that focus that pull can be noticing emotional responses to certain thoughts and and relationships and stories to thoughts and sensations and sounds you're really observing and noticing it's just a moment that noticing and then you without judgment of yourself or even of what it is that you observe you redirect your attention back to seek out that subtle sensation of breath and you'll re-guide your attention onto the breath over and over and over again without judgment without self-criticism nothing is wrong with you it's like lifting weights to build a bicep you have to lift that weight over and over and over same thing you're flexing the muscles strengthening and making flexible the muscles of your mind find your breath over and over rest your awareness onto it should you need you also have the mantra and contemplation of each part of it to lean into be here now should you need to interrupt a process of thought or something you're attached to be here now re-engage in sitting tall relaxing your body and finding your breath oh just starting to notice your breath getting a little bit deeper and a little bit longer maybe take a deep long full breath in through your nose and sigh it out slowly through your mouth and just take a moment to sort of marinate on the your experience in this meditation without any judgment just kind of taking stock notice the sensation of your body sitting here having an awareness of your physical self and in your environment in the room that you're in wherever you are connecting again with that the soul side of yourself and the yogic tradition we call it the seer that's watching watching the mind watching the body it's separate and apart it's the purest part of your being just bring an awareness there and linking again with that the mantra be here now what it means to be in the presence your presence you all parts of you in presence in the here what is here what does it feel like what does it smell like how are you experiencing it in your senses and and allowing yourself to be in the now not leaning into memories from the past and judgments of the future based on the past or expectations just right here and right now all of the world is happening around you and you're just right here right now and then once again taking a deep deep deep breath in and sighing it out and starting to invite some very small movements into your body you can roll out your shoulders and your head and your neck be very small and gentle in your your movements keeping your eyes mostly closed if you want to start blinking them open that letting some light in that's okay and when you're ready you can either open your eyes or keep them closed i'm going to share some journal prompts if you have a journal with you you can go ahead and jot these down otherwise don't worry about it you're going to receive a recording of this meditation and you can just come back to this end point of the practice
