Normally,

I say to you find your favorite position to either sit down or lie down.

But today I would like you to invite to start standing.

And I know this is different and you might even hesitate to do it.

But maybe it is also a new or cool experience for you to start like this.

And then later on we will sit down and then even later on we will lie down.

So I hope you are all ready for this,

For this new experience.

And so you can all just stand next to the phone or the iPad or whatever you are using.

And put your legs at hip width distance.

And you can maybe first shake a little bit.

Let all the stress go out.

Shake your hands a little bit.

Maybe move your shoulders a little bit around.

And then as usual we take a few deep breaths.

So breathe in through your nose.

And breathe out through your mouth.

And one more time.

Take a deep breath in.

And breathe out.

And one more time.

Take another deep breath in.

And breathe out.

Then bring your awareness towards your feet.

And observe your feet.

How they are making contact with the floor.

And perhaps you can press your feet a little bit more strongly in the floor.

So you make real good contact.

You can visualize like you are standing on the beach and make a beautiful footprint in the sand.

And then you are standing still.

Observe your knees.

Are they locked or open?

Observe your spine.

Maybe roll your shoulders a little bit backward.

Pull in your chin a little bit.

And perhaps you can visualize like there is a cord or a thread coming from your crown.

And which pulls up your body a little bit higher.

Like you are nicely standing up in a beautiful posture.

Your arms are relaxed alongside your body.

And just breathe through your nose.

Relax your forehead.

Relax your eyes.

So relax your tongue.

And then focus on the inside of your nostrils.

And observe how the oxygen,

The air is going through your nostrils inside your body.

And make sure that today focusing on your breath has your first priority.

Because we want to remain calm and aware.

So you may become aware of certain thoughts which you are having now or certain emotions.

So you can sort of take notice of these.

But don't bring your awareness to these,

Your thoughts or your emotions.

Just keep focusing on your nostrils.

While you are focusing on your breath,

Also become aware of your body.

What is happening to your body.

And then bring your awareness back towards your breath.

And now breathe in very slowly.

And also breathe out very slowly.

And then become aware of the edges of your body,

Of your skin.

And start at the top of your head.

Feel the crown of your head.

Feel your neck and shoulders.

Feel your spine.

Your legs.

Your feet,

The soles of your feet.

Feel the front side of your legs.

The front side of your body.

Your throat.

And also observe your clothes.

Feel how your clothes are covering your body,

Your skin.

And remain breathing through your nostrils.

So you focus on your breath and at the same time you are aware of your body.

And this is already quite difficult.

Just try to follow me.

And don't become upset if it's too difficult.

You just do whatever you can.

Then you go back to the soles of your feet and feel again the grounds.

And also become aware of any thoughts you might have.

And every time you feel distracted,

Just bring your awareness back towards your nose,

Your breathing.

And now feel where the energy is residing in your body.

Where is the focus?

Do you feel there's more energy around your chest or more maybe in your head?

Or do you feel it more around your legs?

For a lot of people,

Probably most energy or the focus is more around the head,

Around our thinking,

Because that's what we're doing most of the day.

We're really outward focused.

And just observe.

Just observe where most of your energy is going to.

Where your attention is residing in your body.

And try to relax your body.

And then breathe in very slowly again.

And breathe out again.

And one more time,

Breathe in slowly.

And breathe out again.

And now focus on your legs.

And maybe by now you start to feel a little restless.

That's because we as human beings are not used to stand still for a longer period of time.

And actually we would like to have control over this restless feeling.

But we can't,

Because we cannot really control our body.

And the only thing how to manage this is to use your breath again.

So if you feel this restlessness,

Focus on your breath.

So take another deep breath in,

And breathe out.

And don't try to get rid of this restlessness,

But we're trying to manage it.

To observe it.

So you see it happening,

You feel it happening,

And you just breathe.

And you will see that these sensations are temporarily.

Because everything changes.

But we often feel or are afraid that these or such sensations will be there forever.

And we especially have this with pain.

We're always afraid that the pain will last.

But it doesn't.

It fluctuates.

And just also observe the same now with the sensations of restlessness in your body.

And also your breath is changing continuously.

It is impossible to just get rid of these restless sensations.

These sensations we cannot control.

That is the origin of our body.

And if it becomes heavy,

You can start to sweat,

And you can become nauseous.

And by just keep breathing,

Not giving into it,

You're actually cleaning your body,

Detoxing your body.

And don't be afraid of these feelings.

So focus on breathing deeply.

And stay very aware about what it is exactly that you're feeling.

There might be moments that you feel very comfortable.

And there might be moments that you feel really uncomfortable.

This is actually the most difficult way of meditating.

Standing meditation.

You can feel very strong emotions or very strong physical sensations.

But it's okay.

And now it's time to sit down.

Not lie down yet,

But you can sit down.

So find a place to sit in a posture which is manageable for you.

And if you're cold,

Cover yourself with a blanket.

And observe again when you're sitting,

Your entire body.

And also become aware of your mind.

Do you start to feel more calm?

Do you notice any change?

And then again,

Bring your awareness towards your nose.

Just focus for a few moments on your breath.

Feel again how the air is going through your nostrils.

Then bring your awareness towards your crown again,

The top of your head.

Feel the edges of your body.

Also feel your forehead,

Your jaw,

The backside of your head,

Your neck,

Your shoulders.

Feel your spine,

All the vertebrae.

And also become aware of your sitting bones.

And the area of your body which touches the ground or the chair or the floor you're sitting on.

And go back to your breath again and breathe slowly in and breathe out again.

Feel how you become more calm inside,

Gradually.

More pure,

It's like you're becoming more pure inside.

And then let's also gravity do its job.

Maybe you feel you become a bit more heavy,

Like you're sinking a little bit more in the ground.

You become more heavy.

And this raises your body awareness.

The more relaxed you are,

The better you can sense everything which is going on in and around your body.

But stay aware.

Keep focusing on what is happening.

Become aware of your mind.

Maybe you feel certain emotions.

Just observe,

Don't interact.

And this asks an enormous amount of concentration,

Of energy from you.

But you're doing great.

And every time you feel it's heavy,

Just take another deep breath in.

And breathe out again.

Ignoring your emotions,

Ignoring your thoughts,

Just keep focused.

And if you feel you're starting to float,

We're not there yet,

Keep focused.

Focus is about being present and being grounded.

To become really pure and aware.

And observe your body.

How are your body sensations?

Are they gone?

Or are they still there?

Are you still feeling restless?

Or has it become less?

Your body is impermanent.

Everything changes constantly in your body.

Everything remains the same.

And you are observing this.

Witnessing this inside of you.

Do you feel the difference with the standing position?

Your body is never complete.

You cannot control your body.

But you can be a great observer.

And now if possible,

We move to the next posture and you may lie down.

So if possible,

Lie down now.

With your legs a little bit apart,

Your arms a little bit away from your body,

With your palms facing up,

Your chin a little bit pulled in towards your chest.

And if you want,

You can cover yourself with a blanket.

Just keep breathing.

Breathe in slowly.

And breathe out again.

And tell yourself you're not going to fall asleep.

You want to stay aware,

Focused.

And again you may scan your body.

And again we start from the top of our head.

So go towards your crown.

Feel again the edges of your body,

Your skin,

Your forehead,

Your jaw,

Your tongue,

The backside of your head touching the ground,

Your neck,

The backside of your body.

Feel your heels touching the ground.

Feel again your clothes on your body.

Become aware of your entire body.

Feel where your body is touching the ground.

And feel how you sink into the ground a little bit more.

Every time when you breathe out,

You sink a little bit deeper.

You relax even more.

Gravity is still doing its job.

And observe again your mind.

Does your mind feel more calm?

Does your body feel less restless?

And go back again to your nose,

Your nostrils.

And feel again how the oxygen is entering your nose.

And how warm oxygen is leaving your nostrils again.

Now go back again towards your crown chakra.

And feel how the energy of the cosmos is wanting to enter your body.

And perhaps you can even feel it better than previous times.

Because you're really completely aware and fully focused today.

And you can open yourself for this energy from the cosmos.

But we keep observing it as a witness inside our body.

Maybe you can feel that it's a bit different.

Can you bring your awareness towards your forehead?

And also open your third eye.

By just bringing your awareness,

Your attention towards your third eye.

Perhaps you feel some sensation,

Pulsation,

Energy movements.

And you can clearly see this happening,

Or feeling.

Then bring your awareness inside your head.

Maybe you can sense the energy,

The activity of your brain.

Maybe you can even feel your heartbeat inside your brain,

The pulsation.

And then in a straight line,

Drop your attention towards your throat chakra.

And then you go even lower,

Towards your heart center.

And this is where your sixth sense is located.

And with your sixth sense,

You can sense all kinds of energies.

And this is what we keep training every week.

We have the other five senses,

Which are very known and common to everyone.

But our sixth sense is less known or not so active for everyone.

But with this sense,

We can sense energies.

So open now your heart center.

Become aware again that you're not meditating alone right now,

But that you're part of a group.

Maybe you can sense other energies.

And maybe we can help each other by supporting each other,

By sending some love,

Some of our sixth sense energy to the others.

So what you do is just push a little bit from your heart center energy outside,

And just send it to everybody else who's joining right now.

And at the same time,

You open your hands,

And in return,

You can receive.

Just feel what's happening right now.

And you feel these very subtle energies.

You feel each other.

It might be very subtle,

It might be very strong.

And this is also mindfulness energy from your sixth sense.

Now open all your other senses as well.

So open your ears,

Open your nose,

Open your taste buds,

Feel your skin,

The sensations on your skin.

Open your heart,

And observe what you're experiencing right now with your senses wide open.

Feel this mindfulness energy.

And maybe you can feel the vibrations very clearly going through your veins,

Your body.

And the more you practice this,

The more you will be able to use this also in your daily life.

And it will be beneficial to you.

You start to move based on all these feelings which come to you.

And you can use it to your benefit,

And not see it as a burden.

Because it is a strength.

And now bring your awareness again towards your third eye.

And maybe you already feel some pulsation there.

This is your center of your intuition,

Which we can make even stronger.

So first take another deep breath in,

And breathe out.

And observe your body.

How are you feeling?

Bring your awareness then towards your third eye.

Are you ready to develop your third eye even further?

And to live even more from your intuition.

And if you feel a yes,

Then prepare yourself to receive,

Open your third eye.

You can do this in any way which feels comfortable for you.

And I will send more mindfulness energy to you.

Only focus on your third eye.

Just breathe and relax,

And observe and feel.

Imagine a red bag of149 And lay for another pulses instead.

Hoi Anne In de zomer ga ik ook staan en zitten met deze meditatie. Ook nu in deze liggende houding is een top mindfulness/ meditatie. De energie van het zesde zintuig is het fundament van mijn ware zelf/ zijn. Zo mooi dat er ook nog antwoorden/ inzichten kwamen op vragen die ik gisteren niet kon beantwoorden.. Ik voelde het nu gewoon binnen stromen. Dankbaar. Dank je wel Anne Namasté ❤️groet Henk ♦️
