In this meditation,
We'll explore the dynamic between immediate reactions and the lasting impact they can have on our emotional well-being.
At times,
We might find ourselves in situations where an impulsive reaction feels satisfying in the moment,
Providing an outlet for pent-up emotions and frustrations.
We may feel a temporary sense of relief from expressing our feelings.
However,
Often these impulsive reactions can leave us with a sense of regret,
Causing emotional distress afterward.
We'll delve into the importance of finding a balance between addressing our emotions and responding thoughtfully to achieve a more lasting sense of peace and clarity.
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 Charlan and I am a yogi and a scientist.
Let's discover together our inner power.
Begin your meditation in a comfortable seated position with your spine straight and your palms resting on your lap.
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths,
Allowing your body and mind to relax.
As you breathe in,
Bring your awareness to the concept of response versus reaction.
Understand that responding takes time,
Introspection and patience.
It's a mindful and deliberate act that allows you to choose your words and actions consciously.
Inhale deeply and as you exhale,
Let go of any tension or expectations.
Release the need to react instantly and impetuously.
Embrace the idea of patience as it is the key to discerning between the truth,
Your perception and what you verbalize.
Again,
Embrace the idea of patience as it is the key to discerning between the truth,
Your perception and what you verbalize.
With each breath,
Imagine a space opening up within you,
A space for reflection and self-awareness.
Visualize this space as a tranquil pond where your thoughts and emotions can settle like ripples on the water.
Remember the wisdom of Patanjali who teaches that reacting involves only the emotional body while responding engages your intellect.
Take a moment to acknowledge this profound truth.
As you continue to breathe,
Focus on the idea that when you react immediately,
You may regret what you've said and done.
Understand that impulsive reactions often lead to unnecessary suffering.
Cultivate a sense of self- control and restraint.
With each breath,
Feel the stillness and clarity within you.
Allow this inner space to guide your actions and words.
Imagine yourself pausing,
Reflecting and choosing your response with care.
Now take a few more deep breaths and with each exhalation,
Let go of any remaining tension or doubt.
As you open your eyes and return to the present moment,
Carry this awareness of responding versus reacting with you.
Make a conscious effort to embrace patience,
Introspection and the power of choice in your daily life.
Let's bring a little more love in our everyday life,
Little by little.
I am Nathalie and I wish you a beautiful inner journey.
