You We have the tendency to decide to cling to thoughts rather than let them go.
And we decide to turn them into actions which can harm ourselves or others.
Without really understanding what we're doing,
We decide to be full of hate instead of patient and loving.
To be lazy instead of exerting ourselves.
To receive rather than to give.
We decide to seek entertainment instead of engaging in our lives.
This backward approach creates stress and imbalance.
So challenges,
Unnecessary challenges can arise.
And we can't achieve our wishes.
Which are always rooted in a deep longing to connect with basic goodness.
No matter how much resistance we're receiving or experiencing,
There is something in us that still knows the basic goodness that surrounds us in everything and everyone.
That piece of ourselves,
That voice,
Is wisdom trying to peek through.
Through this meditation,
We will relax our nervous system and body and mind.
Let's begin by finding a comfortable place to sit.
Try to maintain a straight back with its natural curves.
Supporting your spine with your abdomen.
Place your hands on your knees or in a mudra of your choosing.
And now gently close your eyes and mouth.
Let's start by taking in a few deep breaths.
Breathing in through the nose.
Breathing out through the nose.
Repeat this four more times.
Breathing in through the nose.
Breathing out through the nose.
Breathing in through the nose.
Breathing out through the nose.
Breathing in through the nose.
Breathing out through the nose.
Breathing in through the nose breathing out through the nose breathing in through the nose The breathing out through the lungs.
The breathing out through the lungs.
The breathing out through the lungs.
The breathing out through the lungs.
Every time you are under pressure,
You can remember to do these three relaxation techniques you have just practiced.
One,
Breathing calmly.
Two,
Relaxing your muscles.
And three,
Calming your thoughts.
You can relax anytime you need to,
And the relaxation will help you to concentrate and keep your brain functioning at its best.
Breathing in through the nose,
Breathing out through the nose,
Breathing in through the nose.
