Hello pregnant mamas and welcome to today's episode where we will be practicing a JSJ flow to help harmonize feelings and emotions of anger which can also include things like frustration,
Irritability,
Annoyance.
In JSJ we work on our third depth to help clear some of these more difficult and uncomfortable emotions and I know for me currently at the end of my 35 weeks of pregnancy,
So going on to my 36th week,
Everything is just getting a little bit more challenging and some people in my life are just just to be extremely blunt just driving me crazy and the flow that I will be practicing today just really helps let go of this frustration.
The frustration of well just the frustration of other people getting on your nerves that's that's the best way I can describe what we're going to be practicing today whether it be a loved one or a co-worker or friends or your kids whoever might be annoying you today or this week or this month or whatever I just invite you to surround the idea of them with love before we begin.
Think about letting go even if it's just for this moment if you want to go back to being angry and frustrated with them after this meditation then that's your choice but just for this meditation let's practice letting that go and just loving and accepting the people and the places and the things anything that might be upsetting you making you feel frustrated let's just try to let that go.
So the first position that we're going to get into is a very nice self-help JSJ hold that helps us balance our third depth and the position that you want to find yourself in is having your hands behind the back of your head so if you can imagine laying in a hammock on a nice summer day and you have your hands on the back of your head on a nice summer day and you have your hands behind your head with your fingers intertwined just having that relaxing moment that's kind of the position that we're aiming to be in and I'm going to help guide you to be a little more specific in this in this hold so with your hands behind your head I want you to point your pinkies up up towards the top of your head and I want your pinkies to be resting on the lower portion of your skull safety energy lock number four area so that your next three fingers in line your ring middle index finger are resting on the back of your neck and your fingers are interlaced so that it almost creates that zipper effect your fingers are in between each other those three fingers are interlocked together and your pinkies are pointing up and then I want you to take your thumbs and point them down towards your back and depending on your size and the size of your hands your thumbs first so for me my thumbs touch just the upper part of my back which is exactly where I want them to be on safety energy lock number number 11 right where my neck meets my upper back right next to my spine on either side and if your finger if your pinky and your thumb can't point directly up or directly down if they're just slightly on an angle that's fine just take that idea find a comfortable position for your fingers to be in so that your pinkies are pointing somewhat up the next three fingers are intertwined kind of like a zipper behind your neck and your thumbs are pointing down and once you find yourself in this position take a moment to make sure you're as comfortable as possible grab some pillows or blankets to prop up your arms elbows shoulders or sit up cross-legged or just with your back straight in a chair however you are most comfortable so that you can remain in this position for the next few minutes and let's all take three exhales while we rest in this position exhale exhale fully and completely i would like you to turn your awareness inward so good for just me and baby to just be in this moment maybe your mind is racing today or maybe you don't have a lot on your mind today but whatever the case may be we just consciously rest in this awareness and you just keep bringing your attention back to this meditation every time you find your mind wandering so for the next few minutes we will practice just to accept our emotions and then release them i feel frustrated i feel irritable i feel annoyed at certain and particular things in my life or surrounding my life today i accept these feelings just as they are in this moment and maybe i feel angry resentment all of these emotions are bundled together now and i exhale as i just accept it i accept these emotions within me today and i breathe and now we will work on shifting these emotions i disentangle from feeling frustrated and i reintegrate now i realign with feeling peaceful calm joyous and i realign now i realign with wholeness and infinite self now i disentangle from the resistance of these emotions and i reintegrate now i realign with love and peace surrounding me and my baby now so i disentangle from thinking that other people's emotions can affect my peace and joy and i reintegrate now i realign with feeling confident in my own calmness and clarity and i realign now i realign with relaxation in this moment as well as ease and grace realign now and if you feel the need to sigh very deeply during these meditations that is very normal when practicing jsj holds it's our body releasing and letting go our mind releasing and letting go so i encourage you to follow your own body in your own breath throughout all these meditations that you practice i disentangle from trying to control other people's emotions and i reintegrate now i realign with focusing on my emotional needs and my emotional state and i realign now i realign with relaxation awareness and clarity in this moment and i realign now now i disentangle from feelings of annoyance and i reintegrate now i realign with feelings of acceptance peace harmony understanding and patience and i realign now i disentangle from the feeling that other people's anxiousness or tension affects me and i reintegrate now i realign with confidence clarity protection and peace surrounding me and my baby and i realign now i realign with wholeness and infinite self realign now i disentangle from tension in my body and i reintegrate now i realign with fluidity flexibility ease and grace and i realign now i realign with the softness softness surrounding me and my baby and i realign now i encourage you to rest in this position if you're feeling comfortable and content or to replay this meditation if you're needing a little bit more release
