The Power Of Energy Based Meditation #225

Yes, we all know it... Meditation is good for us. We "should" do it. It will make a huge difference in how you feel, interact with people and respond to difficult situations.... It's true! I agree 100%. This episode of Soul Infused Monday talks about the POWER of energy based meditation, and was recorded live on April 18, 2022.

Transcript

Welcome to the Soul Infused Monday show.

I'm your host,

Sonia Buonodela Torre,

And today's topic is the power of energy-based meditation.

And whether you are already meditating,

If you are a seasoned meditator,

Or whether you are completely new or you are struggling with it,

Either way,

This show will be beneficial,

Insightful,

Meaningful,

And will help you to shift your energy already,

Even if you are not when meditating.

Now,

The Soul Infused Monday show itself has its own frequency,

Has its own vibration.

By you simply showing up,

Just showing up,

And thank you for showing up.

Thank you,

I see you,

I love you,

You are appreciated.

Just by showing up,

You give yourself already the opportunity to tap into a different vibration,

Into a different frequency.

And the more present you are,

The more present you are within yourself and with the content,

And the more engaged you are,

The more you can let that energy influence you.

You get to choose,

And you are in charge,

And you have the power to determine and make the decision with who and what do you want to spend your energy with.

So I acknowledge you for being here,

And I invite you to keep showing up.

Now,

Showing up does not always mean you're gonna feel amazing,

Centered,

Present,

Joyful,

Every time after the show.

However,

The chances of you having a more mindful,

A more meaningful,

A more joyful day when you start your Monday like this,

Increases exponentially.

My invitation,

Show up every Monday.

If you have followed me already for a while,

You know I keep talking about meditation,

And I will keep talking about meditation,

Most likely until I leave this body,

Because I believe it's one of the most powerful tools to support,

In addition,

The inner work.

It's not a substitution to inner work,

But energy-based,

Particularly energy-based meditation that incorporates a certain flow and a certain framework is,

In my experience,

The most powerful tool.

That's why I am teaching it,

And I am only going to be able to scratch the surface here today,

But I have two resources in addition,

So you do wanna take notes.

Let me tell you a quick story from today.

When you are a seasoned meditator like me,

And I start my day with meditation every day,

It has changed my life completely.

I do inner work,

I am relentless with my own personal growth,

And I get to experience all the ups and downs and craziness of the world myself.

And I'm sharing this with you because this morning,

I got triggered into a feeling of annoyance.

I felt annoyed,

I played tennis every day in the morning,

And today,

Because it was a holiday,

There were a lot of people on the court,

And I felt like I wasn't getting in the groove,

I wasn't able to play that much,

And it doesn't even matter,

Outside circumstances don't matter at all.

But I felt internally annoyed,

I wasn't enjoying the present moment,

And I was talking to myself because I wanted to enjoy the present moment.

So it was an internal process that I was going through,

And at some point,

I surrendered to it and say,

It's okay that I feel this way,

A part of me is annoyed,

Angry,

Upset for whatever reason,

And I made the best out of it,

And I was grateful,

I shifted into gratitude because it could have been very likely that it was meant to rain today,

Actually,

And I wouldn't have been able to play at all.

So I shifted my perspective and made the best out of it,

But I also allowed myself and embraced with acceptance the way that I felt.

Now,

My point in sharing this with you,

Most importantly,

Is when I went home,

I remembered and I said to myself,

Oh my gosh,

I remember when my life was consumed,

Me feeling triggered,

Or me feeling not good enough,

Angry,

Upset,

Annoyed,

Unlovable,

Whatever the story was,

Whatever the pain or the wound was,

Whatever the trigger was,

Most of my life,

Or a lot of my life was consumed by it.

And so this morning I felt like what a great opportunity to experience it,

Be with it,

Accept it,

And then also to be able to let it go.

And energy work and energy-based meditation has helped me tremendously.

I'm also wanting to invite you to share your own experience with me and ask any questions you might have.

Why is energy-based meditation so powerful?

And for me,

Magical.

Number one,

Everything is energy.

So obviously it makes sense to focus when we meditate on energy.

And in particular,

The energy-based meditation that I've been doing for over 25 years now and teaching has a certain framework and a certain purpose.

Obviously meditation in general is meant and designed to calm our minds,

To be more centered and grounded,

To have more balance,

Whatever it is that your practice or not existing practice incorporates.

The energy-based meditation that I am sharing with you incorporates four floors of energy,

But their most important intention or purpose is to connect in and to reconnect actually with the essence of who you are being and with the higher self that you are with your soul.

What is different about this type of energy work or energy-based meditation is that it has a certain framework and a certain intention.

You've got to penetrate through the layers of thoughts and feelings and mud and messiness,

But the ultimate goal of energy-based meditation is to connect in,

To connect and come back to yourself,

And then to shift your energy up,

To connect up to your higher self,

To unhook from the beliefs,

The woundings,

The drama,

The trauma that is not you,

But that you are still identified it,

To unhook from it and to reconnect to the essence of your soul and to reconnect to higher consciousness,

To create higher perspective.

And that's why it is so powerful.

It does not happen overnight.

It is a muscle that you get to train.

It is a muscle that you get to train over and over and over again,

And it will hit certain layers that you get to face,

To look at,

To work through,

And is the most rewarding type of meditation I've experienced,

And I've done a lot of things in the last 25 years.

I also want to mention that true dedication to meditation is challenging.

So if you're someone who is struggling in some way or another with meditation,

Whether it's taking even the time or sitting in silence and feeling peaceful,

So many other things that you might be struggling with,

That's totally normal.

A true meditation is one of the most challenging things and the most beautiful and rewarding things.

There are people who rather jump out of a flying plane or into the fire than tuning the energy back in.

Can you relate to that?

I would love to hear from you.

Are you currently meditating?

Is it something that you would like to incorporate more regularly in your life?

Are you a seasoned meditator and you want to take your practice to the next level?

Where are you?

Take a moment to take inventory for yourself and be simply honest with yourself.

Feel free to share with me.

I always love to see your comments or reviews,

But do this for yourself mainly.

Energy-based meditation is powerful when applied and when practiced over and over again and you get better at it.

In the beginning,

It is not easy.

So this is information.

I give you information.

I might hopefully also give you inspiration.

However,

If you want to use this information to also create transformation,

You get to apply it.

You get to practice it.

You get to show up for it.

You gotta be consistent.

It is okay to start very little.

It is okay to start with a minute a day.

It is okay not liking it.

Everything is okay.

However,

If you are someone that wants to feel more centered,

More grounded,

Being able to deal with what's happening on the outside,

Let it be people,

Judgment,

Rejection,

Anxiety,

Work-related,

Business-related,

Family-related,

Relationships,

If you want to feel more grounded,

Centered,

If you want to feel good about yourself because you know who you are and you want to be able to unhook and to reset and to get a higher perspective on what's happening in your world versus just being caught up,

Then energy-based meditation is definitely a tool that I would highly recommend you doing on a regular basis.

And I have something for you to make it easier for you to apply very quickly.

Ultimately,

For me,

Inner work and meditation is you mastering existence here on Earth while we are a human being.

I often have the analogy of the ocean.

You are the ocean.

You are the vastness of the ocean.

And there are hundreds or thousands or millions or whatever different waves,

Ripple effects.

Sometimes it's stormy.

Sometimes it's quiet.

Now you are still always gonna be the ocean.

But what we often do is we are identified with the particular wave.

Let's say there's a wave called anger,

A wave called money anxiety,

A wave called my husband never listens to me,

Whatever it is.

The wave might be I am fat and ugly.

That was my wave for many,

Many years when I grew up.

I felt fat and ugly.

That was my identity.

You are identified with the wave and therefore as default,

We wanna fight it,

We wanna deny it,

We wanna judge it,

We wanna get rid of it,

We resist it.

Now you don't see the ocean resist its own waves.

Not even you,

Like when you are by the ocean or on the beach or maybe you are a surfer,

I don't know.

But we are not standing on the beach fighting and judging the wave.

We're learning how to handle it.

We're learning how to surf.

And ultimately inner work and also energy-based meditation can help you to become a better surfer,

A better surfer of waves,

Therefore a better surfer of your life.

Does this make sense?

Let me hear,

I'm going to take a moment to see your comments.

I like to meditate when no one else is in the house.

If there are people around,

I find it more difficult.

Of course,

Emily,

Yes,

Thank you for sharing that.

I wanna tap on that for one moment.

Of course it's easier when it's quiet because you have less distractions and that's okay.

My biggest invitation is though,

Create that quiet place whenever you can.

However,

Meditate anyway,

Even when you're distracted.

And you might think then,

Oh,

This is not a good meditation.

Oh,

I got distracted,

I'm not by my,

No,

It's practice,

Practice,

Practice.

Now this is not maybe the perfect analogy to it,

But it's as if we would say,

I'm only going to the gym when I'm by myself.

If there are any other people,

I'm not gonna exercise.

There's gonna be a lot of other people.

You wanna exercise anyway,

But I get it.

This is a great comment that I wanna share because so many can relate to it,

Especially women,

Also men,

But especially women.

I find it challenging to take the time to meditate at weekends when my husband is at home.

It's about me,

Not about him,

Yes.

That is very common.

And I love how you already phrased it that you are not taking the time because you have the time.

You choose not to take it.

Now,

And I know that you're working on boundaries and self-care and you are at the point in your life that it's 100% about you.

So it is more challenging and yet it's possible.

And because something is more challenging,

Doesn't mean it's not doable.

Of course it's challenging.

Anything that creates growth comes with a challenge.

If there's no friction,

There's no growth.

So embrace it,

Keep working on it,

And make it a point to make it happen so that you stay consistent,

Especially now when you are recovering healing,

You want to have that self-care and to communicate needs with the other person.

Now,

Whether they agree or not,

That's not even the point.

You get to take the time if you know it's good for you.

Thank you for sharing that because so many can relate.

Carla is asking,

Could you describe how to do energy-based meditation?

Are you just focusing on energy?

I have something better for you.

And I want to share something real quick.

There's this quote that when you give a man a fish,

You feed him for a day.

When you teach a man to fish,

You feed him for lifetime.

So today I'm only scratching the surface.

I'm sharing a little bit,

And I'm going to give you a fish,

And I'm going to also teach you how to fish.

So that's why I have a pen and a paper.

This Wednesday at 1130 a.

M.

Eastern time,

I'm going to do a guided energy-based meditation.

So that you can actually experience and be part of an energy-based meditation where I'm going to incorporate the four flows of energy.

That's on the Inside Timer.

It's this Wednesday,

1130 a.

M.

Eastern time.

I also have a lot of guided meditations.

All of my guided meditations are energy-based meditations.

That's the fish.

Now,

If you want to learn how to ride the waves,

Not even only meditation,

If you want to learn how to unhook,

How to really apply this information so that you can apply it for yourself,

Then I invite you to join my workshop that I'm doing also in collaboration with Inside Timer.

And that's on May 14th,

Two-hour workshop.

It's a Saturday,

May 14th,

Two-hour workshop starting at 11 a.

M.

Eastern time.

That's not for free,

But it's a very,

Very,

Very low investment.

If you've worked with me before,

You know how much you spend if you work with me privately.

So if you want to not only get the fish and you want to learn how to fish so that it benefits you for a lifetime,

I invite you to join my workshop.

I'm going to teach you how to use your third eye and how to opening up your third eye and unhook so that you can let go of negative attachments,

That you get a higher perspective,

How you shift your own energy practically so that you can apply it in your daily life.

You get a lot here today.

Today is inspiration,

Information.

Wednesday,

You can practice it.

You can experience it.

You can join and have this life experience where I'm going to guide an energy-based meditation.

And then on Saturday,

May 14th,

I'm actually going to teach you one of the most powerful tools in the framework of the work that I'm doing so that you can actually use it for your life versus just having information.

Does it sound good?

Do you have any questions?

And in a nutshell,

You might have heard this before,

And I'm gonna go way deeper into it,

But in a nutshell,

What is energy-based meditation?

Energy-based meditation is,

Especially when I guide it,

I focus on the energy,

Not so much on everything around.

We bring the energy back in,

Then we shift the energy,

We let it rise up.

It's easier said than done,

But that's how it works.

You let the energy rise up.

You disconnect or unplug from the physical body as well.

You raise your energy.

You go to a different vibration.

And one of the two really important pieces that are often missing is you bring that new vibration down,

And that's the one that you wanna take out.

You're literally shifting the blueprint of your energy if you are doing consistent energy-based meditation.

Because who you are being after the meditation is a different energy than when you start the meditation.

Without expectation,

Without pressure,

It's a process.

And there is no such thing like a bad meditation.

Remove your judgment,

Remove your expectations,

And remove the pressure.

And certainly pay attention to your perfectionist that wants to have it a certain way.

So let me know if you have any questions.

I wanna check in here real quick.

What resonated with you?

What questions do you have?

Tune in for a moment.

And whether you know what you're doing or not,

Simply follow my voice and imagine that you can shift your energy and you can let your energy rise.

You let your energy rise as if you would simply look up.

You can even literally look up if you wanted to shift your awareness.

Take a breath and become centered.

Simply focus on your breath.

And tune in,

What is the most valuable thing you've received today for you?

And take note.

Take a moment,

Tune in.

What is your biggest takeaway?

And why it's so crucial to share it is,

First of all,

You wanna know what it is.

You wanna focus on it.

Energy follows attention.

What you focus on,

You get more of.

You being aware of what's your biggest takeaway brings your energy there.

You sharing it creates movement,

Creates more energy.

And on top of it,

It being beneficial for you,

You give someone else the opportunity to read your takeaway and have a takeaway itself.

Or you give them an opportunity for them to also have a takeaway.

A takeaway that I'm reading here is,

I get to be consistent.

Yes,

Yes,

Yes,

And yes.

Be relentless,

Be consistent.

Keep your energy.

Be consistent,

Keep showing up.

Keep showing up for yourself.

Keep showing up for your soul.

Keep showing up for your wellbeing.

Keep showing up for your body.

Keep showing up no matter what.

And it doesn't mean you get to be perfect.

It means simply you keep showing up consistently.

Thank you for sharing,

So important.

Pamela speakers,

Take away my connection with you.

Thank you,

You're so sweet.

Monica is going to watch this tonight after work.

Perfect,

Yes.

Keep watching that,

Keep meditating.

On Inside Timer,

There are several,

Several guided meditations.

Get help.

Let it be easy.

Listen to a guided meditation.

If meditation is challenging for you,

The one thing you don't wanna do is to sit there and feel miserable because then you're not gonna do it consistently.

You wanna create an environment that even though it's challenging,

You're gonna have a reward.

Reward yourself.

Listen to something that's gonna help you versus trying to do it yourself.

You are shifting your blueprint when you go up.

Ooh,

That is a fantastic takeaway.

You are shifting your blueprint when you go up.

Yes,

And you know what,

The beauty,

And you are connecting with the blueprint who you really are.

That's why you're shifting it because you are unhooking from the mud.

You know the phrase,

No mud,

No lotus,

The lotus flower?

The lotus flower doesn't exist without the mud.

So we are not against the mud,

But we're using the mud to go up.

I want to learn to fish and want to sign up for your workshop,

Your words resonate with me.

Fantastic,

Welcome to the workshop.

It's such a wonderful experience and Inside Timer is collaborating with me.

So I'm super excited.

It's Saturday,

May 14th at 11 a.

M.

Eastern time.

It's gonna be a two-hour workshop for a very,

Very low investment of $60.

And then you can learn how to really implement and apply,

It's one of the most important pieces that made the biggest difference for me,

Is really how to learn to unhook,

To awaken my third eye,

To unhook,

And I keep learning and expanding on it.

I'm also wanting to share in this workshop a tool that is called the Light in the Head.

It's a little bit more of an advanced tool,

But I want to share it because it can be extremely transformational as well.

So whether you can join live or not,

Use this opportunity,

Join us.

You will have the recording available for three months after the workshop.

So it's a unique opportunity.

Let me let you leave with a few thoughts for you.

Take a deep breath.

Take a deep breath,

Close your eyes,

Relax your body,

And listen to this.

You get to feel good about yourself.

When you feel good within yourself,

You will be kind to yourself,

You will be joyful.

When you feel good within yourself,

You will have a ripple effect.

When you don't feel good about yourself,

You're not going to be as kind to others as you could be.

When you're not feeling good within and about yourself,

You're not going to manifest what you really dream and aspire.

Energy follows attention.

You get to take the time to meditate.

You get to take,

You put yourself first.

You get to listen to yourself and to your soul.

And when there's so much noise around you,

You will not hear it.

If you don't take quality time with yourself,

Where you get to unplug from the matrix from outside,

It will be too noisy to listen to your own voice.

Listen in to your own voice and get support.

There's so much free information,

Support,

Meditations.

Stay consistent,

Show up every day for yourself.

Keep showing up.

What the world needs is more people that show up,

That are in integrity with their values,

More people that are in integrity with their values and who love themselves.

Because when you are a loving person,

You will create a ripple effect and then you will radiate love and kindness to the world.

I'm showing up here every Monday for you.

I'm showing up for me,

But ultimately it's not about you and me.

It's about being here and making a difference.

And you are the difference.

You,

You are the difference.

And you have so much power and so much potential.

And we are here to really contribute.

So keep showing up,

Keep showing up for yourself,

Keep showing up for your soul,

Keep showing up for your beauty,

Keep showing up for your light,

Keep showing up,

Be relentless.

Thank you for showing up.

Have a fantastic rest of your day.

Start this week in the most meaningful way.

Enjoy yourself,

Do something fun and pay it forward.

Much love.
