8. 3.6 Sweet Guided Meditation: Hello, everyone. And welcome to today's meditation. You may have heard before someone saying that we are not our thoughts or that we're not our feelings, and today is really to find a little bit more awareness off that do really gonna tune into what that actually means. So it's about finding out how we can take the seed of an observer, our thoughts and our feelings. And again, all that really means is that we find a way to realize that be not our thoughts that were not our feelings. But instead we realize that we are that consciousness that can observe and look at these feelings and thoughts within us. It's almost like you're stepping next to yourself and looking at yourself, looking at yourself, looking at your feelings. And when we do that, we're able to create a certain distance between us and our thoughts and feelings so that we're not as reactive anymore, depending on what we feel. Think in whatever moment, so that ultimately we can create an awareness or we can start to realize that we are able to choose what we feel and think. So let's see how we can use the following meditation as a tool. Mental training to practice, creating that distance to our feelings and our thoughts, and maybe then overtime. When you practice this more often, you realize you're able to choose consciously. What do you want to feel and think and how we want to feel and think in our life? All right, lovely ones. So let's begin. Simply start by sitting nice and told you can sit cross legged or in a chair in a somewhat comfortable seat, which allows you to adjust it for the next 15 minutes or so. So reach up through the crown of the head. Find a gentle awareness of your core to support your yourself and sitting up nice and told and relax your shoulders. Maybe even lean back ever so slightly to allow yourself to really open up to breathe fully in and free range can open your heart a little here and when you're ready, simply close your eyes. Just take a deep baresi a few deep breaths deep. Inhale through the nose and out through the mouth. We can take a huge breath full of love, life and joy, and so, so deep and then breathe out all the way again through the mouth. I mean, how once more If you're breathing in so deeply for the first time in your life, finding that spaciousness and freedom of your breath on and release again slowly, let go of your breath and allow it to find its natural rhythm again, Bring your attention to the tip of your nose. Notice a gentle flow of air in and out and simply observe. How does it feel as you in how how does it feel as he excel? Maybe even notice a temperature difference here. Yeah, you can become really present when you focus your attention on your nose. When you breath with that laser beam like focus, simply watch your breath breathing in on doubt again. And even when you notice any sorts coming up, simply acknowledge that without veteran and then gently bring it back to you. Focus on the breath, the woman meditating. We're training our minds to stay where when pointing our attention to exactly where you wanted to be and then keep it there and focusing on the breath is a great tool to help us with. This is this very moment right now is always really have. There's nothing else yet. What happens is that our thoughts take us away sometimes on a journey to the past or the future. And whenever you start to consciously focus on your breath, that's exactly when you arrive in the here and now and become fully present. And when you're ready, start to tune into your body. Just a little body. Check your noticing how you feel today. Now imagine you're a scientist with a cool little jacket being grown glasses, maybe a magnifying glass as well. And that I said, scientists that you are you now noticing which feelings within your particularly present right now this simply to known. Simply watch and notice what's going on and see if, for the first time ever you looking at your feelings like that. And as if you didn't know whether they're good or bad, as if you just be totally curious about what feelings actually are. And then you started, dive into your body and notice what exactly you're feeling right now. Which feelings have been particularly present within you today, and it's a scientist that you are. Just imagine how you taking one of those feelings. Just one of them. Maybe it's doubt or love, Gratitude, maybe anger. Whatever comes up here, whatever is somewhat more present than others imagine you're now looking at it in a lot more detail. Take this feeling into your hand, look at it and turn it around. Look at it from above, from the left from the rights moving from underneath. Just notice its color. Its shape. Maybe it's heavy. Maybe it's really light. Just imagine that right now there's nothing more interesting in your whole life than looking at this feeling that you're holding in your hand. We become aware of it where it came from, what it wants from you. And so whilst you're looking at it in such detail, take a moment to tune in and check whether you like this feeling. Maybe not so much. Take whether you want to keep it. Or maybe you don't does it, do you? Good. Maybe it doesn't. And depending on how you choose right now, you can keep it for now or you put it back Where came from. Now imagine this giant shell full of feelings. A huge shelf with hundreds and hundreds of feelings safety Now decide this feeling that you were just looking at isn't doing you any good. Just imagine you as a scientist, you go ahead and just you could just help it back onto the shelf. You just put it back. If you don't want to feel it anymore, you can choose. What do you want to feel? Here? You're able to choose your feelings and become aware of them without any judgment. And then just look at it, observe it. Look at what it wants for me. Or maybe you realize that it may just want some attention because eventually you've been giving it attention in the past. But now you realize that you can consciously choose which feelings you'd like to focus on and which one stone serve you, in which case they'll go straight back onto the shelf. So now you start walking along that huge shelf and start to look at all the feelings that they are out of all these hundreds of feelings. Go ahead and look at which feeling you really, really like at this moment, which one resonates the most with you right now and then take it off the shelf and start checking it out. That feeling that he would love to feel right now, Whatever it is you'd like to feel, check out its foreman shape its color with its light or heavy. Maybe it even moves and then notice. Whenever you do that, what comes up within you? Does it maybe trigger something with you? So if you like this feeling, make a decision to simply take it with you into your day. Make a decision here. And now that you can connect to that feeling as you become aware of it, this could simply be love and trust. Gratitude in a piece, strength, confidence or joy. And then choose to take it with you, having made the decision to allow this feeling to be with you throughout your day. So now, as the scientist that you are having just discovered and explored your feelings, you walk a little further into the next room, and this room is the room of your thoughts. And you, as a scientist, are amazed and simply stunned by just how many millions of thoughts there on this room simply wiz E and buzzing through the whole room. So with your little cool white scientists jacket, you go ahead and on wonder through the room between all the salts. It's not. Observe with excitement and wonder what all these thoughts are. Imagine he was seeing those thoughts that come up the most throwed your day. Those stars that pump up the most within your mind, those that repeat themselves that keep coming back into your mind. And those starts also that you're really familiar with and then simply continue walking through this room with these thoughts, flying around and strew it, bouncing off each other, millions of them. And then, just as he did with your feelings, simply choose one thought. Pick it up, rabbit from out of the space that it's floating in and take it into your hand. Look at it. What does it say? How does this thought feel? Is it heavy? Which form which shape does it have? The delights? Maybe it's warm, and it's really cool, dark And with that huge curiosity, just look at it again from all science. And again, you have the choice to now say, Do you want this thought? Do you want to think that thought, Do I really want to entertain it? Does it help me? Does it empower me? Or is it powerful and loving? Is it a powerful and loving thought? And if that is so simply, keep it. No. If it isn't simply imagine how the scientists in you is not able to take this thought apart in tiny little pieces. Just imagine this is huge workspace this huge table in front of you. And imagine the scientists. Now that you are, you take the thought which is made up of different sentences, different words, different letters and then simply take it all apart so that in the end, the individual let us just lie on top of the table without anymore meaning. And with that, it doesn't hold any more weight or value anymore. It's simply gone. You simply took this thought apart, and now you can choose as to whether you want to just throw the letters into the building, that standing right next to the workspace you've just been working on. Or maybe you decided to create a new sort out of these letters, or you could simply decide to leave them there and come back to them later on. Do you wonder often continue walking through the space, looking at other thoughts anything that kind of comes up new, curious What's happening within your thoughts there and what's he looking at? These thoughts, there are those that keep coming back that I'm very persistent. But they're also once and really loving ones. When suddenly you realized that you, the scientists, you're not one of these thoughts, but instead you are the scientists. You can touch these thoughts. You can take them into your hand. You can take them apart into individual letters. You conform them to new thoughts. You can question them and all these thoughts and feelings, then this massive In this huge space, they just come and go. Sometimes I stay a little longer. Sometimes they just linger for a while and then disappear again. But you, the scientist, can I choose to keep them or not. The fascinating thing is that your thoughts are just hovering in this huge room, and there's also space between these thoughts that he can wander around in. So this space is your consciousness. It's a space that holdings around your thoughts and your feelings as a columnist and a piece did as it always stays the same. The only thing that changes are your thoughts and your feelings. Depending on would you choose to think and feel, says your work day as a scientist, Cumpston and you're relieved and excited at the same time that you can simply walk through the room and out of the door. You still amazed and fascinated by the huge amounts of feeling buzzing through the room at any time. He also relieved that they come and go, and then you have the choice which wants to keep and which ones to let go off. You are the consciousness that surrounds it'll, and the more gently and loving you look at these thoughts and feelings in your mind, the more you can choose which consciousness you want to be in. Is that scientists, you know? Go take off your jacket and your glasses and you excited to return back to your breast. You're still an observer, simply watching it now. No need to adjust. No need to change a control. It simply focusing on your in. How I don't dxl just stay here for a few moments and when you're ready, slowly started deep in your bra. Start invites a movement coming back into your body, but you're owns above your head and give yourself a really good stretch. Justice thoughts won't ever stay for very long. They simply move on again. What makes it so difficult? It's the judgment that we attached to them. So the more we practice being that observing, the more we start to become conscious off the process and the more we can create that space that distance that we need. It's like when the cinema, watching a film weaken, just simply sit there and watch the film. But we're not the screen, and we're also not the film itself. Instead, we are the consciousness that surrounds it all, and that is also in a position to observe itself. You just gave yourself a moment of gratitude here for taking the time to tune in and really become aware of that reality within you and getting to know your thoughts and your feelings a little better. Thank you so much for joining me today. I wish you a wonderful rest of your day. Thanks so much. Much laden. Bye bye for now
