Speaker 1: Have you ever wondered how sometimes life keeps repeating itself,
0:20
Speaker 1: possibly always ending up in similar circumstances with other people
0:27
Speaker 1: or situations? Perhaps this isn't fate, but a vicious cycle
0:36
Speaker 1: that keeps revolving from unlearned lessons in life. In this
0:43
Speaker 1: guided meditation, you will find out yourself how you handle
0:49
Speaker 1: your balance of life and maybe open your mind to
0:54
Speaker 1: the possibility of a better percentage of more positive outcomes.
1:09
Speaker 1: you may if you wish listen to this meditation whilst
1:14
Speaker 1: you relax or you can simply play this audio in
1:20
Speaker 1: the background whilst you sleep either way your subconscious will
1:28
Speaker 1: absorb the parts that are personally meaningful to you. Take
1:43
Speaker 1: a moment to compose yourself by taking a deep breath
1:49
Speaker 1: and exhaling slowly. This can be used as a signal
2:01
Speaker 1: that you, your mind and body are ready and accepting
2:09
Speaker 1: of being open to the idea of contemplation with yourself
2:14
Speaker 1: and the world around you. Have a moment to let
2:25
Speaker 1: your thoughts just wander as they do the important aspects
2:31
Speaker 1: of the things that have been playing on your mind
2:34
Speaker 1: will be brought forward. When those images play back, you
2:49
Speaker 1: may feel a certain feeling or sensation, such as tightening
2:55
Speaker 1: in your chest, your shoulders becoming tense, or it could
3:01
Speaker 1: be something else. Just take a mental note as you
3:08
Speaker 1: observe what is happening in a passive, distanced fashion. Now,
3:32
Speaker 1: I would like you to cast your mind back to
3:35
Speaker 1: the beginning of that situation that a certain thought surrounds. Perhaps,
3:44
Speaker 1: think about how that circumstance got to be. it may
4:05
Speaker 1: be difficult but ask yourself the following questions whilst doing
4:11
Speaker 1: so remain calm and passive don't worry if you can't
4:17
Speaker 1: get the answers that you're looking for right now as
4:21
Speaker 1: your mind will eventually, with patience, give those much needed
4:26
Speaker 1: answers in time. Here are the questions. Were you two
4:35
Speaker 1: giving at the start, letting things snowball, finally becoming the
4:42
Speaker 1: person lost the more the situation played out? Were you
4:57
Speaker 1: in a vulnerable state as you entered that cycle? Do
5:11
Speaker 1: you have a barrier up that perhaps prevents you from
5:15
Speaker 1: doing something or progressing What feeling lets you accept how
5:27
Speaker 1: things turn out the way they do? Could you do
5:41
Speaker 1: more to prevent people taking advantage of you? and could
5:55
Speaker 1: you have seen this cycle happening before it began let
6:10
Speaker 1: your mind rest knowing you have asked those questions relax
6:15
Speaker 1: a little more from being reassured that you have begun
6:20
Speaker 1: the process of indulging in more insight into yourself and
6:27
Speaker 1: how you can improve the outcomes these vicious cycles are
6:40
Speaker 1: like a groove in a vinyl record sometimes the needle
6:45
Speaker 1: gets stuck on a loop resulting in the same repetition
6:50
Speaker 1: of events being played over and over and over. It
7:05
Speaker 1: is up to you to contemplate perhaps how you could
7:09
Speaker 1: change things to prevent that loop from happening again. Somewhere
7:16
Speaker 1: in those cycles are clues to what lesson could be learned.
7:31
Speaker 1: Hindsight is a great thing and this is also what
7:36
Speaker 1: can be used to distinguish between being in that loop
7:41
Speaker 1: or breaking it. Have a moment personally identify those problem areas.
7:50
Speaker 1: No need to conclude anything right now. The answers will
7:55
Speaker 1: come in time. Now that you have a little more
8:17
Speaker 1: insight into things, and maybe come to some conclusions, next
8:23
Speaker 1: time you identify the beginning of a cycle, you will
8:27
Speaker 1: recognize the signs and feelings. Maybe pull back a little
8:40
Speaker 1: from the situations. Scan your emotions for anything that is
8:44
Speaker 1: telling you to progress with caution. Try to take any
8:58
Speaker 1: high energy or anxiety away, letting yourself think more clearly.
9:13
Speaker 1: Even take yourself out of the situation altogether until you
9:19
Speaker 1: have more clear understanding of how you would rather proceed.
9:32
Speaker 1: The situation could be one where you may have to
9:36
Speaker 1: be hard on yourself, going more with your gut feeling,
9:42
Speaker 1: rather than flowing along to keep things easy. Sometimes taking
9:55
Speaker 1: the easy route in not saying or doing something can
10:00
Speaker 1: lead to a vicious cycle. Let your mind just be
10:06
Speaker 1: for now. Give yourself a moment to relax further as
10:12
Speaker 1: those thoughts float around, giving you space and the freedom
10:19
Speaker 1: to let the answers take shape on their own. Relax
10:31
Speaker 1: by letting your shoulders go a little more. Relax your breathing,
10:37
Speaker 1: and if you want to, take a sigh of relief
10:42
Speaker 1: if you have experienced some enlightenment. The music will play
10:55
Speaker 1: for a few more minutes, just to let you have
10:58
Speaker 1: that much needed gentle time with yourself. The thought process
11:04
Speaker 1: you have begun will continue even after this meditation. Answers
11:12
Speaker 1: will be formed, if not now, but as your mind
11:17
Speaker 1: works its way through to enlightenment. Thank you. Thank you.
12:42
Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
14:48
Speaker 1: Thank you.
