Dear friends,
Welcome to Simply Yoga with Nathalie.
This channel is for all the busy bees of this world who would like to slow down and rediscover their inner strength.
My name is Nathalie Chaolan and I am a yogi and a scientist.
Let's discover together our inner power.
Welcome to this meditation on tolerance.
As we begin,
Find a comfortable position whether sitting or lying down.
Close your eyes gently and take a few deep breaths.
Inhale deeply through your nose,
Feeling your lungs expand.
Exhale slowly through your mouth,
Letting go of any tension.
Continue to breathe naturally,
Allowing each breath to bring you deeper into a state of calm.
Tolerance is the ability to accept and coexist with the differences and imperfections in others and the world around us.
It is a skill that can be cultivated and strengthened,
Particularly when faced with the hectic and often chaotic aspects of life.
Today we will explore how to nurture tolerance within ourselves,
Especially when those around us are trapped in egoistic and materialistic pursuits.
Imagine yourself standing in the center of a storm.
The wind is howling and the rain is pouring down.
The storm represents the chaos of the outside world,
The people and events that disturb your peace.
As you stand here,
Visualize a protective shield around you.
This shield represents your inner calm and strength.
No matter how fierce the storm becomes,
You remain unaffected,
Secure in your own space of tranquility.
Begin by bringing to mind someone or a situation that has recently tested your patience.
It could be a family member,
Friend,
Colleague or even a stranger.
Picture their face or the situation clearly in your mind.
Notice any immediate feelings that arise.
Frustration,
Anger or sadness.
Acknowledge these emotions without judgment.
Now shift your focus to your breath.
Inhale deeply and as you exhale imagine sending a wave of compassion towards this person or this situation.
Compassion does not mean condoning their behavior.
It means recognizing that they too are struggling in their own way.
They are caught in the cycle of their own thoughts and emotions,
Often unaware of the impact they have on others.
As you continue to breathe,
Repeat silently to yourself,
May you be happy,
May you be healthy,
May you be free from suffering.
With each repetition feel a sense of release as if the grip of negative emotions is loosening.
May I be happy,
May I be healthy,
May I be free from suffering.
Next turn your attention inward.
Reflect on times when you have acted unconsciously,
Driven by ego or material desires.
Remember that tolerance also extends to yourself.
Forgive yourself for those moments.
Acknowledge that you are a work in progress,
Constantly learning and evolving.
Return to the image of the storm.
Notice how it begins to calm.
The winds die down and the rain lessens.
The sky clears and a sense of peace returns.
This is the power of tolerance.
It transforms the storm into a gentle rain,
The chaos into calm.
As we come closer to the end of this meditation,
Take a moment to appreciate the stillness within you.
Know that you can return to this place of inner peace whenever you need it.
The outside world may be hectic and people may behave unconsciously,
But you have the ability to remain grounded and centered.
To conclude,
Bring your attention back to your breath.
