Hi everybody and welcome to the meditation on unhappiness and creating the mindset for empowerment.
In this meditation we're going to learn how to create a sense of self and how to release those beliefs and wounds that keep us in reaction,
That keep us in judgment,
That keep us in unhappiness.
So it's a powerful meditation and it's something that if you listen to this enough you can easily learn how to do it on your own.
So let's begin.
So let's just sit comfortably.
Make sure your body is supported,
Hands on your lap,
You're not crossing your legs so your leg won't go numb in the middle of the meditation.
And close your eyes if that feels comfortable for you and you can do that.
And I'd like you to take a nice deep breath,
Breathing in through your nose,
Filling your lungs as full as it's comfortable to do,
And letting it out with a little force through the mouth.
Again,
Let's just do this.
Breathing in,
When you breathe in just imagine you're breathing in light and energy.
Yes.
And as you breathe out,
Imagine you're breathing out the stress and strain in your body.
I'd like you to imagine that with every out breath you're feeling a little lighter and lighter.
And maybe you go into a quieter and quieter place.
Look for the spaces between your thoughts.
Many of you meditate.
You can do your meditation on the phone.
And as you feel yourself get quieter and quieter you notice that you lose awareness of where your hands are or you're losing the deep connection to your body and you just be going into a quiet,
Quiet space.
Wonderful.
In this quiet space,
I'd like you to rethink of a belief that you have about yourself,
About a person,
About someone or something in the world,
Something that's going on.
A belief that causes you fear or anger or sadness.
You could start off with an incident that that belief happened.
What does my boyfriend do or my girlfriend do to me that gets me the most upset?
That's a good one.
Or the world or my teachers or my parents.
And as you think about what they do,
Ask yourself,
What belief must I have about what they're doing?
Oh,
I believe that lovers shouldn't talk to their lover this way.
I believe that lovers should be more gracious.
I believe whatever it is,
Begin to see that belief that you have.
I believe the world should be a better place.
I'm very upset that everybody's all these killings,
All these shootings,
All this hatred.
And as you think of that belief,
Let it just kind of take over you a little bit.
Be brave.
Let it take over you a little bit,
Not completely.
Feel it.
And as you feel it,
When it's really strong,
Stop thinking and put your attention on your body.
Do you notice a twitching,
A tenseness,
A tightness anywhere in your body?
There's a word called body scan,
Where you go,
You cover your entire body searching for sensations.
Do that.
And when you find a very strong sensation in your body,
Just put your awareness on it.
Feel it.
It's like touching it with your mind,
Not your finger,
Your mind.
Imagining you're right there in that spot and you're feeling that sensation.
And it may not feel good,
But I want you to say to it,
There you are,
Sensation.
There you are,
Deposit of pain,
Suffering.
There you are,
Tightness caused by abandonment,
Abuse,
Rejection.
There you are.
And I'm going to feel you without judgment.
This is very important.
Don't,
Do not judge it.
Just feel it.
And invite it to leave.
Invite it to move through your body like a tuning fork releases vibrations after being struck.
I invite you to release and I feel you and embrace it in a sense.
And if you can do that without judgment,
You're going to allow it to release.
You're creating that condition,
That environment where the stress can leave your body.
This is a deep,
This is deeper than yoga.
This is deeper than even meditation,
That it addresses the sensations in the body that is attached to the belief and the wound and the blame and the victimhood and the anger and the judgment.
Feel it.
Feel it.
I'm going to give you a couple of moments,
Maybe a minute or so,
And just feel it.
And if it should release completely,
Go back to the belief or find another belief.
Allow it to stimulate you until you feel another sensation in your body.
So I'll give you a couple of minutes now to do this on your own.
It will be very tempting for you to go into judgment as you feel this,
These sensations,
Because the mind is used to reacting to these sensations with judgmental thoughts.
So the deeper you can go into meditation,
The easier it will be to drop the thinking.
But know that it will take some practice to do that.
With practice,
You'll become an expert at it.
Now,
Three things can happen with these sensations.
You could feel them and they go away immediately,
Or the sensation can move to a different part of your body,
In which case you follow it and say,
Oh,
You're moving.
Okay,
There you are.
I see you now.
I feel you there.
And I release you.
I invite you to come out and just feel it.
So a lot of different stresses in the body relate to possibly one incident or one type of abuse or pain or trauma.
The other situation is that it just gets stronger,
In which case you do your best just to feel the sensation as it gets stronger.
This can happen.
It's the exception.
It doesn't always happen.
You just feel it as it gets stronger and you continue to feel it.
Stay courageous.
And if the time is up,
You just say,
Okay,
Thank you.
You released a great deal.
You can come back to it again.
Good.
So now I'd like you just to let go of that sensation,
Let go of the thoughts.
Just get quiet now.
Come back to your body.
Come back to where you're sitting and slowly wait until stretch your fingers and your toes.
Maybe even stretch your back.
Come back into your body fully.
And then when you're ready,
You can open your eyes.
Good.
Great job.
Please,
If you have experiences,
Leave them in the chat box.
I get a chance to go over this and read.
Read it.
I'd love to hear how it went for you.
And if you didn't experience a lot,
Just know that it takes practice.
Just remember 10 years of holding something,
It's not going to release in a minute,
Two minutes or the first try.
But I can guarantee you,
I shouldn't use that word,
But I can assure you that if you continue this meditation,
I'm going to put this meditation up on my audios.
I'm just debating whether I put the whole lecture or just the meditation up.
But if you continue this,
You will get relief.
It's not a matter of if,
It's just a matter of when.
Well,
I want to thank you guys for being here with me,
For listening and taking part.
You guys are great.
And if you can support me with a financial donation,
I would very much welcome that.
It's nice to get some support.
If you're not in a position to do that,
Follow me,
Find out,
Give me a review.
My purpose is just to reach out.
And the more good feedback I get,
The more exposed it appears I get to other people.
And I'm trying to reach everyone.
Thank you,
Danielle,
For your donation.
Thank you,
Deborah,
For your donation.
And it'll take me a little while.
I'm going to send this to my sound editor,
But I will get something up on my audios in case you would like to do this again.
And if you have any questions or anything,
You can find a way to reach me.
I'd be very happy to help you in any way that I can.
Okay,
Guys,
Wishing you a great new year.
And I hope if there's one thing that you remember is that your mind can heal just like your body can.
Just create the mindset that you want to release the beliefs and the emotions,
Rest the mind and stay with it.
Get a coach if you need to,
To help you stay with it.
And you will see results.
Okay.
Blessings to you all.
Take care,
Be well.
Take care.
Love to you all.
