And you know, 40 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: really my intention when I think about what a healed 41 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: girl healed, being healed person. Summer is supposed to look 42 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,399 Speaker 1: and feel like um. It feels like acceptance. It feels 43 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: like everything is enough. And when we're in the position 44 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: of everything being enough, that allows us to awaken more, 45 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: that allows us to make space for more. All of 46 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: our needs are met, the moment is enough. Our lives 47 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: are being accepted for what they are and the gifts 48 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: and all the things and finding purpose and all of 49 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: the things. And from that foundation we get to layer 50 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: on top limit lists, possibilities, we get to layer on 51 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: top joy, higher intention freedom. So this summer has, uh, 52 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: it's really been feeling like that for me. Just a 53 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: quick little catchup. It's been an interesting summer. I've been 54 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: working a lot, I've been traveling so much for work, 55 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: and I have um different projects I'm excited about. I 56 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: went and had vacation with my four year old son 57 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: and got to get him all in the things for 58 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: the summer, the swimming and the practicing. We just started 59 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: practicing yoga together, really deepening in that kind of being 60 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: more intentional with that. So that's been really beautiful and 61 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: that's been really fun for me. And I've also had 62 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: a chance to really deepen my meditation practice this summer meditation. 63 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: As everyone knows, I'm a meditation teacher UH certified through Chopra, 64 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: the most incredible meditation program, and I've been a meditator 65 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: for about ten years. And I in the beginning of 66 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: my journey, I was probably, you know, eking out maybe 67 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: five minute meditation a day, which radically transformed me. So 68 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: if you're somebody that is doing one minute, two minutes, 69 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: three minute, four minute, five minute, it's still enough, it's perfect, 70 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: and it's going to guide you towards as time passes, 71 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: a more intentional practice, maybe a deeper practice, something that 72 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: stretches a little bit longer um. And then I moved 73 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: into during the pandemic, I was really in the groove 74 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: of doing two hours of meditation a day. I really 75 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: needed it my body and soul. And now I'm in 76 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: a space where I've been having about a forty five 77 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: minute meditation and and I've noticed that just the energy 78 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: of this summer. I don't know if it's planetary alignments, 79 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: lions skate, all the all the shifts. For those that 80 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: are into astrology, there are so many transits that play 81 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: right now, so many transits that play in my personal chart, 82 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: and so I've just felt a lot of synchronicity in 83 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: the air. And one of my favorite books is actually 84 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: vibe my friend dear Deepak Chopra, and it's called The 85 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire. And he wrote this book some 86 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: years back, but I actually found it and reconnected with 87 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: it right as the pandemic was starting to lift, so 88 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: right when it felt like there was a little more 89 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: room to dream or a little more room to kind 90 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: of expand our thought of what our futures could look like. 91 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: And a lot of things had shifted, and that book 92 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: was so expansive. It was such a great opener coming 93 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: out of the pandemic, and and such a beautiful remembrance 94 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: of all the magic that's in the air. And that's possible. 95 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: And I don't know how many others are connecting to 96 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: this right now, but I have a feeling a few 97 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: people listening are kind of nodding their heads and saying, yeah, 98 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: I'm having those experiences to those experiences of synchronicity, spontaneous 99 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: fulfillment of desire. Uh, And you know those moments that 100 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: feel like magic, that shift timelines in our lives, that 101 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,239 Speaker 1: open up new doors, new pathways. Those moments are really 102 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: noticeable when you build your meditation practice. I've been thinking 103 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: a lot about what I love so much about meditation, 104 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: and I want to share a few of the thoughts 105 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: that I've been thinking lately. Meditation, in my um and 106 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: my humble knowing and in my life, I believe it 107 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: and in my work, I believe it to be the 108 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: most powerful tool for human spiritual transformation. There's a lot 109 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: of misconceptions about meditation. Meditation obviously is ancient. You know, 110 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: it's it's predates religion, it predates all recorded history really um, 111 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: and it's it's one of the foremost original tools to 112 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: being with God, to being with oneself. And you know, 113 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: as meditation came into the Western world and started really 114 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: picking up on the middle of last century, not that 115 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: long ago, you know, not everyone was ready to connect 116 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: it to spirituality. Not everyone was ready to remember this 117 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: ancient tool that had always been with humanity, that everybody 118 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: had been ready to kind of accept it. You know, 119 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: it came came back from a foreign land. You know, 120 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: that's what people in this country thought when it first emerged. 121 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: And you know, it's been slow building and now it's 122 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: in it's it's really having its momentum. But it's interesting 123 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: because when meditation came to this side of the world, 124 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: because it was thought people when it be really ready 125 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: to receive it, it had been packaged in so many 126 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: different ways. So and there's so many different systems of meditation, 127 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: hundreds of meditation styles that you can do, and so 128 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: many belief systems that are rooted in meditation. Um really 129 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: as a prerequisite to the connection with God. But you know, 130 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: sometimes I think, um, it's just really important to speak 131 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: about meditation in highly personal ways because I found that 132 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: for those that are on the fences or the fringes 133 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: of meditation. And I say this a lot, but what 134 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: everyone always says is I think too much. No, I 135 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: can't do what I can't set on my mind, I 136 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: can't sit still. And to that, I say, yeah, me too, everyone, everyone, 137 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: everyone who has ever started meditation or tried to meditate, 138 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: has said that because we're human beings and our biology 139 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: works that way. I think the you know, one of 140 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: the latest figures and this is always kind of changing, 141 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: but one of the latest figures that was mapped in 142 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: the human brain is that we think somewhere upwards of 143 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: thirty thousand thoughts a day, thirty thou thoughts, thirty thousand thoughts. 144 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: We have at minimum thirty thousand thoughts popping up into 145 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: our awareness, into our consciousness every single day. So for 146 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: everyone that has ever tried to meditate, that is exactly 147 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: what we all feel. And if you're someone who has 148 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: a complex lived experience, has had traumas, then meditation can 149 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: get even more tricky. Um The feeling of being in 150 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: the quiet and being that's still in your body at 151 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: first can trigger a feeling that makes you feel unsafe, 152 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: or it can trigger some anxiety. And that is so natural, 153 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 1: and it feels challenging, and the first thing you want 154 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: to do is run. The first thing you want to 155 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: do is distract yourself. Me pick up my phone, let 156 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: me just think the thoughts. Okay, let me move my body, 157 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: let me get up. But if you sit in it 158 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: and you really let yourself begin to slowly expand in 159 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: your meditation practice, you'll notice your body feeling more relaxed, 160 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: your brain feeling more relaxed. You'll notice you are awakening 161 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: parts of yourself that you didn't even know we're there. 162 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: And yes, that can feel scary at first, but you 163 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: have to execivate, you have to make space for more. 164 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: You have to create a channel and opening inside of 165 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: yourself where things you want to release can get out 166 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: and higher things that you haven't even thought of yet 167 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: can come in. You don't want to try to control 168 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: every aspects of our lives, because then there is no 169 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: room for God. And so when we're meditation, we're clearing 170 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: space inside of our psyche. We're clearing space inside of 171 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: our mind, body soul connection, and we're expanding the potential 172 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: of the moment. We are expanding what's possible. The thing 173 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: about experiencing trauma, the thing about having certain barriers to 174 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 1: our emotional health, to our mental health, is that it 175 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: limits possibility. It makes us closed doors inside of ourselves. 176 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: It makes us cut off certain communications with ourselves and others, 177 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: It makes us perform. And when we're in that kind 178 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: of space, when we're restricting ourselves in any way, we 179 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: limit what's possible. We limit the unfathomable miracles and gifts 180 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: that have been actively looking to emerge in our lives 181 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 1: because there's no receptive flow, there's no opening for them 182 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: to come into to meditation. Shin what meditation does and 183 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 1: what we say a lot in the practice of meditation 184 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: is that you want to be inside the gap. We 185 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: are looking to find the gap, and what we mean 186 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: by the gap is that it is the space that 187 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 1: exists in between one thought and the next. So as 188 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: you're closing a thought about whatever you happen to be 189 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: thinking about right now, it could be anything, and you 190 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: begin the next thought, there is at first about a 191 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: millisecond that exists in between those two. When you connect 192 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 1: to that millisecond, you then open a pathway to connect 193 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: to that sacred space. That's sacred void that can expand 194 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: to everything about your life. And so sometimes when you're meditating, 195 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: you'll be in that gap for about a millisecond. Then 196 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: you might stretch it to five seconds and be like, oh, 197 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: I wasn't even thinking at all. Then it might be 198 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: a minute, Then it might be five, there might be twenty. 199 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 1: Then I'm gonna be an hour. But that space is 200 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: where manifestation happens. That space is where anything can be 201 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: made manifest in your consciousness, in your life and your healing. 202 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: So finding a way to sit in there is really 203 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: the goal. And so even for those that still you know, 204 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: may feel like I can't, I just can't sit still. 205 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: That is okay, But what is something else that you 206 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: could do in your life where you're unlocking that space, 207 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: that feeling. When we talk about the tools and the 208 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: gifts and the tangible benefits of meditation and having a 209 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: meditation practice, you know, it often comes to the forefront, 210 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: which is really powerful for human biology. Is talking about 211 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: how it helps heal disease, talking about how it helps 212 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: regulate our emotional systems, are emotional health or nervous systems, 213 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: talking about how it reduces stress or brings down your 214 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: blood pressure, soothe your brain. There's so much powerful research 215 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: around all the physical things that meditation can do for 216 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: us when we connect to a practice. But I want 217 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: to talk about too, some of the beautiful non physical 218 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: things that happened. And I'm speaking right now just from 219 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: my own practice. So this is my unique lived experience 220 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: of how I know and feel meditation and also how 221 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: I have observed it and experienced it in teaching it 222 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: to thousands of people um and on the app millions 223 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: of people. If you listen, I voice daily meditation on 224 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: the Chopra app. Meditation is so much more pleasurable than 225 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: I think most meditation teachers talk about now, if you're 226 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: in some sacred practices, then you already know there. You 227 00:14:52,440 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: can do meditation in all the ways. But meditation UM, 228 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: when you really lock into a consistent daily practice, it 229 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: becomes a companion on your journey. Meditation actually becomes something 230 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: that you're craving to do each day instead of something like, Okay, 231 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: I gotta remember to meditate because that don't make me 232 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: feel better. And that's how it starts. And that's fine. 233 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: But you get to a point where, you know, sometimes 234 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: if I'm working or if I'm traveling a lot, you know, 235 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: I crave it like I'm literally, oh my god, my god, 236 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: can't wait till I get home. Oh my god, I'm 237 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: gonna close my eyes. We can't wait to meditate. I'm 238 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: being dead serious right now, Like truly, that is like 239 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: you crave it because you know what it does to you. 240 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: You know what it does to your body, you know 241 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: what it does to your potential, you know what it 242 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: does to your mastery, to your excellence, you know what 243 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: it does to your healing, and so you joyfully make 244 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: time for it. Um, You urgently make time for it. 245 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: You crave the feeling of just having your eyes closed 246 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: and being inside of your own body. And sometimes the 247 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: way that feels for me is and this might be 248 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: a little bit of a given the context, a little 249 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: funny of an example, but if you've seen the movie 250 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: Get Out, you know in the scene where Daniel Kalua 251 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: is sitting across from the woman and she's tap tap tap, clink, 252 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: clink clink tapping on the teacup, and all of a 253 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: sudden you see him sink into himself in a way 254 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: that he's in his physical body, but he's not currently 255 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: in control of it. He is sitting deeply inside of 256 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: himself and it looks almost like he's in a galaxy 257 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: that exists inside of his chest in that movie, scary 258 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: in real life powerful, that feeling, I remember, you know, 259 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: probably took me about a year and a half in 260 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: my practice to kind of access that for myself. Which 261 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: is not to say that's the case for everyone. It 262 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: might be your first time and you get there, um, 263 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: But we all have our different you know, barriers that 264 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: are up in different ways that our bodies, hearts and 265 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: minds explore and expand. Um. But about a year and 266 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: a half in I went into that space and it 267 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: felt like I began a cellular restructure of all of 268 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: my programming, all the ways that I thought about myself, 269 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: about the world, about my experiences, all of the ways 270 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: that my body felt. Um it made it such a 271 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: felt experience and that kind of took my breath away. 272 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: And I continue to build on that part of the practice. 273 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: And it's not always like that. Sometimes you're going to 274 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: be deeply in love with your spiritual practice, with your 275 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 1: meditation practice. Sometimes you're gonna be really over it. It 276 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 1: just depends what's happening in your life. The biggest, most 277 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: important piece is not to judge any of it, to 278 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 1: just being acceptance of what is, like, Oh, I'm really 279 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: not feeling it this week. Okay, what's something else I 280 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: can do to show for myself or let me follow thought? 281 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: Is that a genuine authentic thought of just wanting some 282 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: freedom and some space or some change to my practice, 283 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: or is this actually a very sophisticated way of me 284 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:18,479 Speaker 1: avoiding myself or me uh not wanting to be willing 285 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: to look at all of myself and my life. And 286 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: so I don't want to do anything that triggers my 287 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: authentic self and just explore it and you see and 288 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: then you let yourself shift and change, and you know, 289 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: the key the solution is really just to not be 290 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: in judgment of you. And that's one of the most 291 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: beautiful things about meditation as well, coming into a space 292 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: where you can just understand that everything just is, even 293 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: the things that don't make sense. You know, it empowers 294 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: you in a way that you are always, always in 295 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 1: the driver's seat of your life, which is not the 296 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: same as trying to control everything or everyone. It is 297 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: very intentionally being in the seat of creator within your life, 298 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 1: being co creator with the devine. Meditation opens that for us. 299 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: Dropping something else I really love about meditation when I 300 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: think about like the tangible, felt effects of how it 301 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: really expands your life. I love the way that meditation 302 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: helps me alcomize time. I'm really able to transform time 303 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: in my life with meditation, and so earlier I spoke 304 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 1: about that space that we're in called the gap, and 305 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: that space in between one thought and the next thought 306 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: where a limitless amount of possibility lives and thrives. That 307 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: space is something that you can activate in real time 308 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: in your day to day life as you are making choices. 309 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: Meditation supports higher choice making because it helps you slow 310 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 1: down enough to really see the zoomed out view and 311 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: make the highest choice possible, something that is for your 312 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: highest good, something that allows you to refocus, recenter, and say, 313 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: I'm not just going to react, I'm not going to 314 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: be triggered. What is my highest intention? What is the 315 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: highest choice that can be made right now? When we 316 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: get into that kind of space, especially when we're in 317 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: real time, If I'm talking to someone, what may feel 318 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: like it only took me five seconds to respond inside 319 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: my body because I've cultivated this expansive practice inside of 320 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: my body, it actually feels like I've had several hours 321 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: to think about what I was about to say. And 322 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: those listening that are meditators, I know you know exactly 323 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: what I'm saying and feel this. And for those that don't, 324 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: I want to share that you may not know what 325 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: this feels like yet, but the way that it starts 326 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: to really move through you, it starts to feel like freedom. 327 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 1: It starts to feel like wisdom, like deep sacred kind 328 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: of maturity, like um deep connection to the interwoven fiber 329 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: fibers of humanity. Uh. And that is like in seconds, 330 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: you know, So it helps you really more actively create 331 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: in your life, what is actually for your highest good, 332 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: what is actually healing, what is actually evolutionary, what is 333 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: actually nourishing, And that's all found in a meditation practice. 334 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: So I love being able to stretch time in that 335 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: way now and and also to feel deeply entrust with 336 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: my life and what is and deeply aware. You know, 337 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:12,719 Speaker 1: when you practice meditation, you heighten your awareness, you expand 338 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: your consciousness, which means you're able to hold multiple truths 339 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: at one time. You're able to connect to nuance with ease, 340 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: You're able to kind of surgically understand context with ease 341 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: and do it in the split second. You know that 342 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: that ability to connect to your intuition at the deeper layer, 343 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,719 Speaker 1: that's the beauty of meditation. And yes, you get peace 344 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: and you get calm, and you get you know, um 345 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: when many referred to as a space of zen or 346 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: flow state, but I really wanted to kind of reframe 347 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: that all of the ways it's felt in a way 348 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: that it's actually tangibly felt in my own body and soul. 349 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes the way meditation is talked to, it's 350 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: just like you don't always get it. You know, if 351 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: if zen isn't a regular word in your life or 352 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: in your family system organically, How would you know that 353 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: something to aspire to? How how would you know that 354 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 1: something you even want to feel? You don't know what 355 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: that word means or what that looks like if you 356 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: don't also have the context of that belief system. And 357 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: so meditation feels like freedom, It feels like space. It 358 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: feels like the deepest level of personal empowerment. It feels 359 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: like sovereignty. It feels like having real, deep choice and 360 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: creation with your life. And I love it, and I 361 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 1: highly highly highly highly highly recommend, deeply suggest that everyone 362 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: listening to my voice right now really try to build 363 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: in a couple of minutes each day to build your 364 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: meditation practice. And if it feels uncomfortable and you want 365 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 1: to get up, don't just acknowledge it. You can say 366 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: to yourself inside no one's watching. You can say I 367 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: feel really uncomfortable. You can even say this feels boring, 368 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: I don't like this. What's the point? This doesn't work. 369 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: I'm not noticing a difference. You can say all that, 370 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: but keep doing it, Keep doing it, keep doing it, 371 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: because when it clicks, it changes your life. When it clicks, 372 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: you're now in use of a tool that is going 373 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: to support every aspect of your human being, every aspect 374 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: of your purpose, every aspect of your emotional and mental life. 375 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: Soli's take a second. Now, we're going to spend the 376 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: next couple of minutes having a meditation together on the 377 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: four sole questions in primordial sound meditation, which is the 378 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: style of meditation that I've studied and then I practice 379 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 1: with its develop of by DPAK. It's very beautiful in 380 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: a way that allows you to release control and open 381 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 1: two more. So let's do a nice many meditation for 382 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: just a couple of minutes here. I want to invite 383 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: everyone to, if it's safe, if you are not driving, 384 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,959 Speaker 1: to find a comfortable position wherever you are, and gently, 385 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: gently gently allow your body to soften and gently gently 386 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: gently close your eyes. And want you right now to 387 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: connect to your natural breath that feels nourishing, just in 388 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: and out, noticing how losing your body moming. Some gratitude 389 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: to come in for the way that your body is 390 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: always supported, your life is always supported. Gratitude or another 391 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: day of being here and having another chance, another opportunity. 392 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: Now it's taken a nice long, deep bread in through 393 00:26:42,760 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: your nose and out through your nose very slowly, Yeah, 394 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: sending the air all the way and spread through your body, 395 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,959 Speaker 1: and then move all the way out. It's to another 396 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: deep breath here, deep breathing beginning now, and then another 397 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: deep breath in and doubt and now returning to whatever 398 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: breath feels could coming forward now with the first sole question, 399 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: and as I asked these questions, allow yourself to silently 400 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: repeat the question shin in your own mind, but don't 401 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: fill it with an answer. We're not problem solving right now. 402 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: We're not solution finding. We're asking a question and we're 403 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: letting something higher come in to give us the answers 404 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: to live the answers. Who am I? Who am I? 405 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: Who am I? What do I really want? What do 406 00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: I really want? Yeah? What do I really want? What 407 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: am I grateful for? What am I grateful for? What 408 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: am I grateful for? How can I serve? How can 409 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: I serve? How can I serve? And now gently releasing 410 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: those fours, the whole question and letting yourself come back 411 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: into your body. Loogle your toes, looklet your anger, notice 412 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: your body, move your neck from side to side. Mm hmm. 413 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: Maybe allow yourself to bring your hands into prayer position 414 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: right in the center of your heart, taking a moment 415 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: to feel grateful for today, for everyone who is connected 416 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: and listening to this meditation at the same time as 417 00:30:46,440 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: you and gently open your eyes, and I must stay 418 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: and just start to notice after this meditation in the 419 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: coming days, what awarenesses are coming in for you. We 420 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: asked four soul questions. Who am I? Who am I 421 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: without the roles that I play? Who am I without 422 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: the titles that I wear, without the perceptions that people 423 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: have of me? Who am I my soul? My authentic self, 424 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: my highest self? What do I really want? What are 425 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: the desires underneath my current desires? If I put something 426 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: on my vision board, what is the deeper desire I'm 427 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: actually looking to meet by what's on my vision board? 428 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: What do I really want? And what am I grateful for? Gratitude? 429 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: Gratitude Gratitude is the seat of the soul. Feeling grateful, 430 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: feeling enough is the foundation that allows everything to be 431 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: built to thrive, to grow. What am I grateful for? 432 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: There's something? There's many things, And how can I serve 433 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: outside of the things we do, the things that we're 434 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: noticed for, recognized for? What is the bigger story being 435 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: told with your life? How can you serve we are 436 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: all here to serve humanity, to serve on behalf of 437 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: divine source, the universe creator. However you identify the higher power, 438 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,959 Speaker 1: we are here to serve on behalf of that energy 439 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: for the greater good of all of humanity. How can 440 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 1: we do that? You do that through purpose? So that 441 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: question actually translates to what is my purpose? What is 442 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: my dharma? What is my purpose? What is my dharma? 443 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: And just hold that, even if you're instantly got the 444 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: enters say I know what my purpose is. Even if 445 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: you feel that way, don't answer it yourself. Make a room, 446 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: make space. There's more. I feel like this moment, I 447 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: am on my tenth iteration of purpose. I've been thinking 448 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: about that a lot, and I have a couple episodes 449 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: in the archives about purpose. But it even surprises me. 450 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: And I have been talking about purpose for many years, 451 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: and it always surprises me. There's always new iterations, new 452 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: evolutions of what purpose is meant to be expressed as 453 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 1: through you uniquely. So make room for it and just 454 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: notice the next couple of days, if you're having any 455 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 1: recurring thoughts, any special thoughts, any breakthrough thoughts, notice them, 456 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: write them down journal and you can always rewind this 457 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: episode back each day and listen to that very many 458 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: many many meditation at the end to connect with those 459 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: sole questions.
