And it's a great reminder 14 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: and this is one of my favorite books right now. 15 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: So we're gonna read it and then we'll get started 16 00:00:54,120 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: with our meditation. All right. I am thinking my life. 17 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: I am thinking my life every day. Her thoughts are 18 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: creating her life. I am creating a universe. I am 19 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: communicating with the world. I think stars, I see stars. 20 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: I am stars. I think myself smiling, I see myself smiling. 21 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: I am smiling. I am sculpting my world. I am clay, 22 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: I am motion, I am light. I am what I think. 23 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: I am what I think. I am planning my world. 24 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: I breathe me into my life through my thoughts and 25 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: then my actions. I am the architect of my dreams. 26 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: I think myself joyful. I see myself joyful. I am joyful. 27 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: But then sometimes I think storms, and I see storms. 28 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: I am storms and thunderclouds and tears. Are you tears? Sometimes? Yeah, 29 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: me too. But then, even though it's difficult, I search, 30 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: and I search inside myself, and there it is. She 31 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: found the light inside of herself. Even when it's dark. 32 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: I think sunshine, I see sunshine. I am sunshine. And 33 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: the clouds and the thunderstorms roll away from my mind 34 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:08,399 Speaker 1: and they have no power. I can think anything. I 35 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: think myself dancing. I see myself dancing. I am dancing. 36 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: I think my self building. I see myself building. I 37 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: am building. I think myself drawing. I see myself drawing. 38 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: I am drawing. And look at my creations, look at 39 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: all the crazy, awesome world she created with her mind. 40 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: I think beauty. I see beauty. I am beauty. I 41 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: think affection. I give affection. I am affection. I am powerful, 42 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: I am radiant, I am loving, I am creative, I 43 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: am I am thinking, I am seeing, I am becoming. 44 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: I am thinking my life. I am thinking my world. 45 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: The end. So what I love about this book is 46 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: that it reminds us that everything that we think with 47 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: our minds we can create into our realities. So what 48 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: do you take from this book? What do you think 49 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: about this book? I liked about this book is on 50 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: the different com and how on those things. Yes, yep, 51 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: she built all that, yep exactly. She didn't give up. 52 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: And the whole point is that when you think something, 53 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,799 Speaker 1: you can create it. If she didn't have the thought 54 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: of drawing and creating all these different beautiful worlds, then 55 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: she would have never created it. Right, So our focus 56 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: today is thinking our lives even when things are so 57 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: even we all said that we are tears sometimes right, 58 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: sometimes we're happy, sometimes we're sad. But in spite of 59 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: however we feel, we can always choose a different way 60 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: to feel right. And so this never stops. You always 61 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: are trying to do this, even big adults, they're always 62 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: trying to figure it out too. We're all just trying 63 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: to figure it out. So we're gonna do a meditation 64 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: that helps us remind ourselves to think thoughts that we 65 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:30,559 Speaker 1: want to create in our worlds. Okay, okay, so let's 66 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: take a deep breath together first, just a big deep breath. 67 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: Are we gonna put your hands on your belly, and 68 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: when you breathe in from your nose, you'll feel your 69 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: belly fill up like a balloon. Okay, so we're gonna 70 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: breathe in and you feel your belly getting bigger. Nice job, 71 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: and breathe out. I feel your belly getting smaller once again. 72 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: Here we go in heal big belly, ex hail, let 73 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: it all go. Nice job. All right, we'll take our 74 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: hands together. Now, let's rub them together. Feel the heat 75 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: in between both of our hands, like we're making a 76 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: fire with our energy. Rub. Rub, rub, and then when 77 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: we're done rubbing, we're gonna take our hands and put 78 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: them close to our cheeks. Okay, here we go. Take 79 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: your hands close to your cheeks. Ah, do you feel 80 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,119 Speaker 1: the heat coming from your hands. Doesn't that feel good? 81 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: That's your own energy. You just created it. Nice job. 82 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: So this is an example of how we can create 83 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: using our own power. So next when we put our 84 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: hands on our face. We're going to close our eyes 85 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: and think about a beautiful, warm summer day. Okay, here 86 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 1: we go, close your eyes, hands to your cheeks, and 87 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: think of a beautiful, warm summer day. Maybe you're on 88 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: the beach, listening to the ocean, jumping in the ocean, 89 00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: playing with sand. How do you feel on this day? 90 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: Do you feel happy? Are you with your friends? Are 91 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: you with your parents? Are you making a sand castle? 92 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: Are you taking a nap? I love taking a nap 93 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: on the beach. Just feel however you would feel on 94 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,559 Speaker 1: this beautiful, warm summer day. Does it bring you joy? 95 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: Are you happy? Do you have your favorite snacks? Feel 96 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: the ocean breeze? Okay, now open your eyes and bring 97 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: your hands to your knees. Great job, all right, so 98 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: let's close our eyes once more. Take a deep breath 99 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: in and exhale. All right. Now, I have a rainstick here, 100 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: and we're going to cleanse everything we just created in 101 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: our minds. We're going to start all over by bringing 102 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: some fresh new life to it. Here. We got ready. 103 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: Rain washes all things away, creates a clean slate. It's 104 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: raining outside, so that's perfect all right. Now we're all 105 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: nice and clean and cleansed. We'll close our eyes here 106 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: and just begin to envision what you see in the 107 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: new year for your life. Do you want to learn 108 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: a new instrument? Do you want to take a new class? 109 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: What are the things that you want to do that 110 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: are going to make you feel alive and happy and 111 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: more like yourself? Think of that thing could be more 112 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: than one thing. Just try to find one to focus 113 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: on for now. For me, I want to learn more Spanish, 114 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: and I'm kind of scared about learning more Spanish because 115 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: it's hard and I don't really know all of the 116 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: things that I want to know about it. But I 117 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: have to practice and commit and envision myself learning more 118 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:18,719 Speaker 1: Spanish and then put in the work and I'll be 119 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: able to know more Spanish by the end of the year. 120 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: So if it's dancing for you, singing, what do you 121 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: want to learn? How do you want to grow in 122 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: this new year? And remember that your thoughts create that reality. 123 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: So silently repeat to yourself, I am thinking my life. 124 00:09:49,480 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: I am thinking my life. My thoughts are powerful, My 125 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: thoughts are powerful. I am magic. I am magic. There 126 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: is nothing stopping me. There is nothing stopping me. I 127 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: can do and be whatever I see. I can do 128 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: and be whatever I see. I am creative. I am creative. 129 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: Now continuing to envision yourself with all of this new 130 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: unlimited energy, all of these thoughts that you want to 131 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: come true in your life. Feel how that would feel. 132 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: Feel how happy you would be learning something new, Feel 133 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: how happy you would be getting better at something you 134 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: already do. And remember that sometimes it's hard. Sometimes you 135 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: want to cry. Sometimes we're tears, But there's always that 136 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: little light inside of you. You can make it as 137 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: big as you want with the thoughts that you think 138 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: about your life. When you're ready, gently start to open 139 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: your eyes, wiggle your fingers. Let's stretch our legs out 140 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: in front of us. Move your feet up and down, 141 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: wake them up around the other way. Oop, snap, crack on, pops, 142 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: kind of move your body. Let's bring our shoulders up 143 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: to our ears and drop them down. Bring our shoulders 144 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: up to our ears and drop them down. Nice job. 145 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: Bring our hands to heart center. Thank you so much 146 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: for joining us, creating new energy and using our thoughts 147 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: to create our worlds. Remember, every thought creates your life. 148 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: We will bow forward to honor one another. Thank you, 149 00:12:54,040 --> 00:13:02,599 Speaker 1: good job. Nice job,
