Feeling Tones

We are going to meditate, and not a make a big deal out of it. This no big dealness, is really good for you. It doesn't need to be an activity that you have to get it right. You're already getting it by trying, staying and existing. And it's part of allowing our minds to rest, trust and heal.

Let me take you to explore your breath. You can take this anywhere and anytime. Workout or at home, or just a way of re focusing your mind back to one place and give your thoughts a break. The breathwork above is also known as Ujjayi, which directly means victory over the mind. A small manipulation in the out breath, Almost like we turned to 'Darth Vader' in that moment or trying to frost a glass pane with our mouth closed. Let's try and be victorious over our thoughts (well, able to control them woohoo)

With today's session, we are breaking things down a little more but subtly. Taking your awareness into 3 parts. We are softly giving our consciousness a nice massage for this one. Without anyone else to help, no need for a massage chair. Such a nice one for the winter weather. Enjoy.

What is deconstructing thoughts? It's simply to really really notice what is going on in your mind and perhaps label it. As much subtlety as it seems, this little skill can open up and enhance your awareness a little step further in knowing what exactly is going on in your mind. And sometimes, it might just stop you in your trial of thoughts. Let's give it a try

Have you ever thought what muscles do you use when you walk? And which foot comes forwards before the other? Do you start walking by taking your right foot forwards? Often we succumb into pure unconsciousness when it comes to walking, our vital movement that takes us from one place to another. Give this one a try, it'll open up your awareness more. This one is also amazing because it isat your convenience, to stand and walk if you're the type that prefers tolisten to podcasts at daytime.

If you've done meditation, you will probably know this one as a body scan. Something that we use as well at the beginning of a yoga nidra session. It's just following my voice as I will speak out the parts of your body. For this session, I highly recommend that you lie down, planning to fall asleep. Here we go.

Ever wondered why your mind keeps wandering? Don't. Because that's what it naturally does to live. Our mental and emotional state takes a different flow from other things such as our breath to survive us in our daily activities. There is no need to judge a thought that you have, nor push away feelings that you think you don't deserve. We are allowing everything to just be. Just be. Giving ourselves to just be ourselves. Fully. I know that apparently men know how to 'space' out completely in a box, and so if you're a guy listening to this, let's see if we can space out for longer. Here we go.

So many things has happened in the last year~ moving, settling, upskilling and starting new projects. I'm now yoga teacher trained and took another upskill into the meditation world. Excited now to share the knowledge I have to enhance and bring the best out of you. Episodes will be fortnightly. Seasons will remain as 10 episodes. Speak soon!

Our mind is always a constant chatter. Flowing with thoughts, feelings, past events and future to-do list. If it's not this thought or feeling, it would be another, a never ending story. With that, it becomes tiring, draining and exhausting. Try this practice to allow you to find a space again to de-clutter or pause the flowing mind for under 10 minutes.

Want to de-stresss in just 3 minutes? Follow this process :). 2 Skills, short, sharp but absolutely fulfilling. Oh, it's 8 mins long if you want to know more about the thought process behind those 3 mins.
