Live Meditation And Sound Journey For Healing And Relaxation

Everyone.

Before we lie down and close our eyes I just need to show you two things that we will be doing.

So we're gonna do two types of breathing,

Slow breathing,

Nothing too intense,

Just to start off the practice.

The first one will require you to put your thumb on the right nostril and your ring finger on the left nostril.

I like to rest my peace fingers right here on the forehead and basically what we will do is we will close the right and close the left with our fingers,

Inhaling one side,

Moving to the other side,

Exhaling,

Inhaling again on that side and then switching over,

Alternating pattern,

Alternate breathing.

Another style of breath we will do after that is called alkaline breathing but the way we're going to do it,

Usually you go through the nose,

Into the belly,

Into the lungs and then big sigh of relief out.

When we inhale through the nose we can touch the tip of our tongue on the roof of our mouth,

It will just help open up all through here and let the air flow straight through.

We'll be doing it all very very slowly,

We'll do a couple of rounds and then when I ask you to for the alkaline breathing when we inhale we're going to hum outwards like this and you can do it along with me I've got a microphone here and I've got really cool effects,

Sorry one second,

So it makes my voice sound kind of weird,

I got to get it working,

Where do we go?

You can just go along with me,

So no problems.

So first we'll start with the alternate breathing,

You can do this lying down,

Sitting down,

However you want.

So let's put our pink fingers on our forehead,

We'll start with the left nostril,

So thumb on the right nostril,

Inhaling,

Covering the left nostril,

Exhaling through the right,

Inhaling through the right,

Covering the right with our thumb,

Exhaling through the left,

Inhaling through the left,

Covering the left,

Exhaling through the right.

Amazing,

Keep this up at your own pace and bring your attention to the breath coming in and out of the nose as you do the nostril,

Noticing how it feels,

Maybe have a blockage,

Sometimes I do,

You can push a little bit harder,

Or maybe it's softness is the answer to get around the blockage.

Like water on a mountain.

When you get to the end of the next rotation,

Which is going to be an exhale on the left,

Just rest your hands on your knees,

Bring your breath back to normal,

When we all meet here,

Move on to the alkaline.

The inhaling tongue on the roof of the mouth,

Sighing out,

Inhaling,

Inhale,

Sigh it out.

In,

Sigh it out.

In,

Sigh it out.

In,

In,

And out.

In,

Out.

In,

And out.

And on the next inhale,

Hold it at the top of your breath,

Hold there,

Sigh it out.

Stay here for a second,

No breath in the lungs,

We're not here for lungs.

On the count of five,

Breathe,

Inhale back through the nose,

Tongue on the roof of the mouth.

Five,

Four,

Three,

Two,

One,

Sigh it out.

In,

In,

And out.

And in,

And out.

And in,

And out.

And in,

And out.

In,

And out.

In,

And out.

And again,

Sit here with no oxygen in the lungs,

No oxygen in the stomach,

Just paying attention to how your body feels.

Maybe you can feel the blood running through your veins,

Maybe your heartbeat is more noticeable.

Just certain sensations in the body,

Do not judge,

Just examine how you feel.

On the count of five,

We're going to do the same.

So we've been doing one,

Two,

Three,

Four,

Five,

Inhale.

Now to exhale,

Let us pump.

And again in,

Just two more like this,

Inhale.

One more,

All the way in.

Pumping out.

I'd like for you to gently rub your hands together,

Warming up the hands.

Excellent.

Building friction,

Building heat in the hands.

A little bit more,

Excellent.

Now lay your hands down wherever is comfortable,

And pay attention to them,

To the friction,

Sensation,

The heat,

Whatever works for you,

Whatever you've just built in your hands.

Bring your awareness to this.

Now,

I can eat each individual finger,

The thumb,

The index finger,

The middle finger,

The ring finger,

And the pinky.

Each hand,

The left hand and the right hand.

Now,

If you're aware,

Let us start with the right side of the body,

Focusing on the wrist,

The forearm,

The front and the back of the forearm,

Just paying attention to it,

Noticing how it feels.

Not judging how it feels,

Simply noticing.

To the upper arm,

Bicep,

Tricep,

And the shoulder.

Bring your awareness,

Noticing how you feel.

Excellent.

Now let's jump over to the left side,

And let's do the same thing.

Noticing the wrist,

The forearm,

The front side.

To the biceps,

The triceps,

Maybe you can even notice the elbow,

And the shoulder.

Simply paying attention.

Now this next part you can do one after the other,

Side by side or both together.

Move the awareness from the shoulders into the center of the chest,

To the heart.

Paying attention to how the heart feels,

The chest area.

And if you can,

Imagine a white light radiating from your heart.

This white light,

From now on,

Is going with the power of your awareness to relax everything it touches.

The build up here in the heart,

The love muscle.

Fantastic.

Now bring that light up from the heart to the throat,

To the sides of the throat,

The front of the throat,

The back of the throat.

Let it relax everything it touches.

Everything it touches with your awareness.

Moving up slowly to the jaw.

Noticing your teeth,

Your tongue,

Your gums,

Your cheeks.

Letting the white light relax everything that it touches.

Everything that you pay attention to.

Moving slowly up.

Noticing all around the nostrils,

The air coming in and out of your nose.

Now move slowly up to the eyes,

The eye sockets.

Let your eyes just fall naturally into where they belong in the sockets.

The temples next to the eyes.

Let the skin around them relax.

The eyebrows.

And then bring your attention between the eyebrows and the center of the forehead.

The third eye.

Let this white light sit here for a bit in the center of the forehead.

Between the eyes.

From the front to the back of the head.

In the center of the brain all through.

Letting it relax.

Excellent.

Now move that light up the forehead.

Up the sides and the back of the head,

Wherever it may be.

To the top of the scalp.

To the crown of the scalp.

Relaxing the skin on the scalp.

And bringing awareness to the area.

Let the white light gather itself in the very,

Very center of the scalp.

Building an energy center of sorts.

However your mind interprets it.

Bring all your focus and your awareness to the very,

Very center of the scalp.

What to do with that light leaving the top of our scalp.

Falling around us like an umbrella or a waterfall,

Fountain,

Fondue,

This kind of style.

Falling down around us.

Leaving us with a protective barrier of energy.

And let that barrier as it falls down and hits the floor,

Re-enter through the soles of the feet.

Take your time.

Let it fall how it wishes.

And when you get to the soles of the feet,

Awareness there to your toes.

Beautiful.

Now bring that beautiful white light up the feet to the ankles.

Relaxing the ankles.

Relaxing the feet.

Moving up the calves.

The front of the calves and the back of the calves.

The sides even.

Just making their way up to where the knees are.

And let them relax the knees as well.

Everything your awareness and the light touches becoming relaxed.

As you get to the knees you can keep going up.

The thighs and the back of the thighs.

The pelvic area and the buttocks.

And let the light sit at the base of the spine.

And we'll all meet there at the base of the spine.

Bringing that white light from the base of the spine up to the stomach.

Front and the back and the sides of the stomach area.

Around where the belly button is.

Relaxing everything it touches around the area.

The organs,

The intestines,

The kidneys,

The lower back muscles.

Let them all relax.

Release the tension with the power of your awareness.

And the white light existing in your mind moving around you.

Let's bring it up to between the stomach and between the heart.

All the areas we are yet to touch.

Relaxing every muscle,

Every skin cell and every organ.

Until we finally come full circle at the heart.

Once you reach the heart it's time for you to go for a little journey through your body.

Up and down.

Wherever feels right for you.

Anytime you reach the feet or the head go back through what you've created around you.

The energy field.

Use that as your gateway from top to bottom.

Down as you please.

Left and right.

Whatever works for you.

As the light in your awareness is traveling keep relaxing.

Or if you're incredibly relaxed just enjoy.

As you move this energy and examine the field around you you've created.

You'll be able to use this in the future now that you're aware of it.

So we're using this time now to cultivate it.

Become aware of it.

All the energy inside of us is ours to use.

Now all of this energy around you.

If you could do your best to store some of it in the stomach and store some of it in the brain.

With your intention later you'll be able to use this.

Maybe tomorrow,

Maybe next week,

Maybe next month.

Just store a little aside for yourself whilst you're here.

It's the perfect time.

Amazing.

Now we're going to slowly,

Slowly come back.

And the way we're going to do that is by bringing our awareness to our feet.

And just letting them wake up.

Maybe you want to wiggle your toes.

It's up to you.

Wake up your feet and your ankles and your legs.

Bring awareness in our wake.

Move up the body.

Thighs,

Hips,

Pelvic area,

Lower torso.

Just slowly waking everything up.

To the upper torso,

Back to the heart,

To the shoulders,

The arms.

Slowly allowing them to wake up.

That's not to say that you're still not relaxed.

Just awake.

Throat,

Face,

The head.

Close them for a bit.

Maybe you can notice the difference now between the relaxation before and the alertness now.

Before we go,

I'd like to tell you a little Sufi story to finish off the day,

Finish off the night.

There's a Sufi monk,

He can't seem to find the key to enlightenment,

To his connection with God,

To the secret meaning of life.

And one day,

A voice comes to him in a dream.

It tells him he must go out into the forest to seek the meaning of life.

So he does.

He wanders out into the forest.

He can't seem to notice anything as a sign of wisdom or enlightenment or the key to living.

Until one day,

He notices a fox with no legs,

Lying in the grass.

This is a very peculiar thing as the fox seems to be of a decent age and is alive.

So the monk watches.

And just before the sun comes down,

A lion comes to the fox with some food and feeds the fox.

The lion understands,

Thinks the monk,

I don't need to go out and try so hard at everything I do.

I can just wait and be faithful and God will bring me anything that I need.

And so this he does for a few days,

For a week,

Two weeks.

And he is lying there in the grass under a tree,

Weak from exhaustion,

Weak from hunger,

Weak from thirst.

And in the dream comes the voice to him again and it says,

Fool,

Do not be like the fox.

Be like the lion.

And with that,

We finish off this session.

And slowly,

In your own time,

You can open your eyes,

Come back to a seat.

You can stay lying down if you want.

I can leave the music on and go make a cup of tea if everyone remains lying down.

Do as you please.

Thank you for joining me.

I hope you have a beautiful sleep and you wake up refreshed for our morning walk at 8 o'clock.

And for a lovely breakfast and a lovely day of yoga and meditation.

Good night.

Namaste.
