0:01
SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to another episode of In Case of Emergency Press Play.
0:06
SPEAKER_00: This is Adrian.
0:08
SPEAKER_00: Are you feeling overstimulated or overpeopled?
0:12
SPEAKER_00: Consider this guided meditation, the reset button for your internal circuit breaker, because apparently you had too much shit plugged in today.
0:21
SPEAKER_00: Think about that little reset button on a GFCI outlet.
0:25
SPEAKER_00: When there's too much happening, the circuit trips.
0:28
SPEAKER_00: It doesn't mean the entire electrical system is broken.
0:32
SPEAKER_00: It means the system recognized an overload and said, nope, we're done.
0:38
SPEAKER_00: And before you start investigating every damn thing plugged into the wall, you can hit reset.
0:45
SPEAKER_00: So take this time for yourself to turn down your noise, let go of what doesn't need your attention right now, and give your system a few minutes to be completely off duty.
0:58
SPEAKER_00: That's what we're doing here.
1:00
SPEAKER_00: You don't have to solve the overload tonight.
1:03
SPEAKER_00: You don't even have to know what caused it.
1:07
SPEAKER_00: Just hit reset.
1:10
SPEAKER_00: Now, before we get into it, think about someone that you know might need a reset too.
1:16
SPEAKER_00: Send this episode their way and tell us what you need next.
1:20
SPEAKER_00: What are you carrying?
1:22
SPEAKER_00: What kind of meditation would help you right now?
1:25

1:32
SPEAKER_00: Wdpft.
1:34
SPEAKER_00: We didn't plan for this.

1:38
SPEAKER_00: So we just started an Instagram page.
1:41

1:44
SPEAKER_00: I'm very excited about it.
1:46

1:55
SPEAKER_00: So those are the three little series that you're gonna find on this new feed.
1:59
SPEAKER_00: Don't forget to follow, rate, review, subscribe, share, go back over to how yoga changed my life.
2:05
SPEAKER_00: If you're not following over there, give a listen.
2:08
SPEAKER_00: We didn't plan for this, came from the fact that I had the experience of yoga in my life and realized that I had a tool in my toolbox that could help me cope and get through the shit I didn't plan.
2:21
SPEAKER_00: So, with all that being said, let's get into it.
2:25
SPEAKER_00: Welcome to your practice.
2:31
SPEAKER_00: Find a comfortable position.
2:35
SPEAKER_00: Let whatever is underneath you hold some of your weight.
2:41
SPEAKER_00: Take a slow breath in through your nose and let it go.
2:48
SPEAKER_00: Again.
2:49
SPEAKER_00: Breathe in.
2:52
SPEAKER_00: And breathe out.
2:57
SPEAKER_00: Now imagine a color.
3:00
SPEAKER_00: Don't think about which color means healing.
3:04
SPEAKER_00: Don't choose the one you think you're supposed to choose.
3:08
SPEAKER_00: Just notice the first color that appears.
3:15
SPEAKER_00: Picture it somewhere around you.
3:18
SPEAKER_00: It could begin above your head, beside you, underneath of you.
3:26
SPEAKER_00: There's no right way to see it.
3:30
SPEAKER_00: Just allow the color to slowly surround you.
3:37
SPEAKER_00: It's not trying to change anything.
3:40
SPEAKER_00: And it isn't fixing anything.
3:45
SPEAKER_00: Your color is simply creating a little space between you and everything you've been carrying.
3:54
SPEAKER_00: Take another breath.
3:58
SPEAKER_00: Now imagine a big knob for a volume on a TV.
4:04
SPEAKER_00: And begin to turn the volume down on your day.
4:09
SPEAKER_00: The conversations, responsibilities, appointments, and people.
4:20
SPEAKER_00: Turn down the volume on the things that you should have done or the things that you still need to do.
4:27
SPEAKER_00: Turn it all down.
4:29
SPEAKER_00: Not forever.
4:31
SPEAKER_00: Just for now.
4:36
SPEAKER_00: Allow your color to move around your head and your shoulders.
4:40
SPEAKER_00: Notice the mental noise becoming quieter.
4:44
SPEAKER_00: Not gone.
4:45
SPEAKER_00: Just quieter.
4:50
SPEAKER_00: Let the color move around your torso.
4:54
SPEAKER_00: Whatever you've been carrying emotionally doesn't need to disappear.
4:59
SPEAKER_00: You simply don't have to hold it quite so tightly right now.
5:06
SPEAKER_00: Let the color move over your legs and your feet.
5:15
SPEAKER_00: Notice where your body meets the surface underneath of you.
5:21
SPEAKER_00: Allow your body to become heavy.
5:27
SPEAKER_00: You've been holding yourself up all day.
5:31
SPEAKER_00: You can stop for a minute.
5:35
SPEAKER_00: Let gravity clock in for its shift.
5:39
SPEAKER_00: Breathe.
5:43
SPEAKER_00: Your body may have worked really hard today.
5:47
SPEAKER_00: Your mind may have worked even harder.
5:51
SPEAKER_00: And I'm sure your heart might have joined in.
5:57
SPEAKER_00: Or maybe all three decided to work overtime without consulting you first.
6:03
SPEAKER_00: Whatever happened, the shift is over.
6:09
SPEAKER_00: Now picture a little reset button.
6:14
SPEAKER_00: And in your mind, press it.
6:19
SPEAKER_00: Just this moment.
6:22
SPEAKER_00: Reset your jaw.
6:25
SPEAKER_00: Let it soften.
6:28
SPEAKER_00: Reset your shoulders.
6:31
SPEAKER_00: Allow them to drop.
6:35
SPEAKER_00: Reset your hands.
6:37
SPEAKER_00: Unclench them.
6:40
SPEAKER_00: Reset your torso.
6:43
SPEAKER_00: Let it soften.
6:47
SPEAKER_00: Reset your breath.
6:50
SPEAKER_00: Nothing dramatic.
6:52
SPEAKER_00: Just in, and out.
6:57
SPEAKER_00: Reset.
7:00
SPEAKER_00: Now notice your color becoming a little warmer or brighter around you.
7:06
SPEAKER_00: Not because you're charging yourself back up.
7:10
SPEAKER_00: You don't need to become productive again.
7:13
SPEAKER_00: You don't need to get back out there.
7:16
SPEAKER_00: This isn't a reboot so everyone can have access to you again.
7:22
SPEAKER_00: This is yours.
7:25
SPEAKER_00: A few minutes when nobody needs anything from you.
7:30
SPEAKER_00: Right now, you're off duty.
7:36
SPEAKER_00: Take another slow breath in.
7:40
SPEAKER_00: And breathe out.
7:45
SPEAKER_00: Now you might know exactly what overloaded your circuit today.
7:50
SPEAKER_00: It could have been one enormous thing, or it could have been fifty tiny little things.
7:57
SPEAKER_00: Or maybe life was just particularly lifey today.
8:03
SPEAKER_00: You don't have to diagnose it.
8:07
SPEAKER_00: Nothing needs to feel different.
8:11
SPEAKER_00: You're simply noticing that you're here.
8:15
SPEAKER_00: Underneath everything that happened today, you are still here.
8:22
SPEAKER_00: Let yourself be surrounded by whatever color found you tonight.
8:28
SPEAKER_00: And remember, a reset doesn't erase what happened.
8:34
SPEAKER_00: It doesn't solve everything waiting for you tomorrow.
8:38
SPEAKER_00: It gives your system permission to stop carrying all of it at the same time.
8:44
SPEAKER_00: And right now, that's enough.
8:51
SPEAKER_00: Take one final slow breath.
8:56
SPEAKER_00: Begin to notice the space you're in again.
9:01
SPEAKER_00: The sounds.
9:03
SPEAKER_00: The temperature.
9:06
SPEAKER_00: The surface underneath of you.
9:11
SPEAKER_00: Move your fingers.
9:15
SPEAKER_00: Move your toes.
9:19
SPEAKER_00: And when you're ready, slowly blink open your eyes.
9:27
SPEAKER_00: From my heart to yours.
9:29
SPEAKER_00: Wherever you are right now, take a breath.
9:32
SPEAKER_00: Loosen your grip a little.
9:36
SPEAKER_00: Be bold.
9:37
SPEAKER_00: Listen and be impeccable with your words.
9:42
SPEAKER_00: Do meaningful work and leave things better than you found them.
9:46
SPEAKER_00: We didn't plan for this.
9:48
SPEAKER_00: But we're here.
