Love Your Love Muscle - Knowing Yourself: The Foundation of Self-Love · Transformational Meditation Podcast

• 0:26
  Hello everyone, welcome back to a bi-weekly
• 0:29
  podcast Love Your Love Muscle.
• 0:31
  I am Seb from the Transformational Meditation Group.
• 0:34
  And as you can see, we are back in nature.
• 0:37
  If you look for lucky, if you listen closely.
• 0:41
  You can hear the birds around me, so it will
• 0:44
  be a lovely session, especially for those that are Patreon
• 0:47
  members and have access to the video recording after
• 0:51
  the live session as well.
• 0:53
  And if they use XR glasses, they have
• 0:56
  a full immersive experience, in addition to that.
• 0:59
  It's almost like you are in nature with me and
• 1:03
  meditate.
• 1:04
  So, for only $2 a month, you
• 1:07
  already have access to a lot of content
• 1:11
  on the Patreon side, including these video recordings
• 1:14
  of these sessions.
• 1:16
  I asked a friend today about what
• 1:19
  I should do for a theme for this podcast, and
• 1:22
  she said to me, Love yourself, which
• 1:26
  is something I hear a lot, which
• 1:29
  means that it's an issue for a lot of people.
• 1:31
  They are wondering how to love themselves.
• 1:33
  They also most likely know that in order
• 1:36
  to feel loved, and to
• 1:39
  find love, and be
• 1:45
  more comfortable in life, you have to love yourself.
• 1:50
  But a lot of people don't
• 1:54
  know that to love yourself, you have to know who you are.
• 1:58
  Who am I?
• 1:59
  Who am I going to love?
• 2:02
  And that's the issue today in today's
• 2:05
  world and has been for a long, long time.
• 2:07
  Because we don't meditate.
• 2:09
  We don't self regulate, good enough, we aren't mindful about
• 2:12
  what we do, who we are, our
• 2:15
  connection to each other, and our nature, and what a human
• 2:18
  being really is and capable of.
• 2:20
  We don't know who we are.
• 2:22
  And many people don't know who they are, and
• 2:26
  jump straight from that
• 2:30
  lack of knowledge about themselves,
• 2:33
  about who a human being is, into trying
• 2:37
  to find love and loving themselves, but
• 2:40
  you can't love yourself if you don't know who you are.
• 2:42
  So I want to focus on
• 2:45
  that 1st and foremost, because
• 2:49
  we see a lot of examples in the world today,
• 2:52
  um, that show
• 2:56
  that people don't know who they really are.
• 2:58
  They are lost, and
• 3:01
  some people try to find that
• 3:05
  comfort in, or try to
• 3:08
  find themselves,
• 3:11
  or try to compensate for that
• 3:14
  lack to seek power, to become
• 3:17
  a leader of a big company, to basically
• 3:23
  find themselves, or find
• 3:25
  compensate for the lack of not knowing who they are in the
• 3:28
  outside world by more materialistic greed,
• 3:32
  ego, egocentric living.
• 3:35
  Uh, it's all about me, uh,
• 3:40
  not understanding that we're all connected and everything you do and
• 3:43
  even think and feel affects the world around you.
• 3:46
  So...
• 3:48
  Some people think loving
• 3:52
  yourself is spoiling yourself with a
• 3:55
  lot of materialistic things.
• 3:57
  In relationships,
• 4:00
  people even start to
• 4:04
  own each other.
• 4:05
  Like the partner you're with is your property,
• 4:09
  and they should do as you,
• 4:12
  uh, want them to do.
• 4:16
  Which causes a lot of trouble again.
• 4:18
  And you see it in today's politicians as well.
• 4:21
  They don't know who they are.
• 4:22
  They don't know what a loving human being is,
• 4:25
  what a empathic
• 4:29
  human being is, sympathic human being is.
• 4:32
  And they are lost, they are often,
• 4:37
  I'm sorry to say it, not really human anymore.
• 4:40
  In the definition of what a human being is.
• 4:46
  And they seek the
• 4:50
  love from externals, from external worlds,
• 4:53
  from other people, the acknowledgement from other people, by
• 4:57
  doing things that eventually hurt
• 5:00
  a lot of people.
• 5:04
  Uh, based on greed,
• 5:08
  power structures, power hungry, uh,
• 5:11
  I often say that the people that want to become head of
• 5:14
  state, uh, who run for
• 5:17
  president, uh, they are not the
• 5:20
  people that actually should have that position, because
• 5:23
  if you want it, you want to fight for it.
• 5:28
  And it's all about you, and you
• 5:31
  see those people, those candidates, not
• 5:36
  even talk to each other when they get interviewed in a
• 5:39
  group, but just plainly, fighting
• 5:42
  each other with words, hating
• 5:46
  each other, trying to say bad things about each other.
• 5:50
  I mean, are that the kind of people you want to have as your leader?
• 5:55
  Not me.
• 5:56
  I haven't voted in many, many years.
• 5:59
  Uh, because I don't
• 6:02
  want to see your, um, I
• 6:05
  don't want to see your political program.
• 6:08
  I don't want to see what you want to do with
• 6:11
  the country, because especially
• 6:15
  Europe, when you're inside the EU, and running for president,
• 6:18
  or head of state, of an EU country.
• 6:20
  You can have a political program, but that's just bullshit.
• 6:24
  I mean everything is decided in Brussels.
• 6:26
  So, I want to know who you are.
• 6:29
  I want to know your psychological profile.
• 6:32
  Are you fit to have responsibility for millions of people?
• 6:38
  And my family, someone ran for,
• 6:41
  um, try to become a, uh, traffic
• 6:46
  controller.
• 6:49
  And he had to run through a lot
• 6:52
  of psychological tests.
• 6:54
  And the reason for that is that, yeah, you have responsibility
• 6:57
  for thousands of people each day that are in the air, in
• 7:00
  an airplane, that you need to get safely on the ground
• 7:03
  and safely off the ground again.
• 7:05
  So flight traffic controllers are tested psychologically.
• 7:10
  So I'm thinking like, okay, if those people are
• 7:13
  tested psychologically, why are
• 7:16
  heads of state, presidents, prime
• 7:19
  ministers, are politicians in general,
• 7:22
  why aren't they tested psychologically?
• 7:24
  Are they fit?
• 7:26
  Are they capable of doing a job?
• 7:29
  Are they responsible enough?
• 7:30
  Are they capable of also making tough
• 7:34
  decisions for the better of their people, the people they
• 7:37
  have responsibility for?
• 7:39
  And today's world, I would say, no.
• 7:43
  Maybe two, three.
• 7:46
  I've heard of that, I think, well, what
• 7:50
  you say, what you do, your actions make sense.
• 7:53
  They align, but for many,
• 7:56
  European, especially, and what we have now
• 7:59
  in the United States, I mean, it's just,
• 8:03
  I don't know, it's like they come from a mental asylum.
• 8:06
  At least they should quit and go into counseling.
• 8:09
  That's like, I often say, when I discuss politics with others.
• 8:13
  Like, I don't trust them anymore.
• 8:17
  Just, they just have to quit, quit
• 8:20
  their job, start going to counseling,
• 8:23
  find themselves, which is the theme I
• 8:27
  want to focus on today.
• 8:29
  So before you become a politician,
• 8:32
  or want to run for president, make
• 8:35
  sure you know who you are.
• 8:36
  As a human being, your capabilities, your
• 8:40
  immense capabilities, we are capable
• 8:43
  of so much ordinary people, are
• 8:46
  living extraordinary lives, because they know who they are.
• 8:50
  They know what a human being is, from
• 8:54
  A to Z.
• 8:55
  They know all the tricks.
• 8:57
  They know how they are connected to life, to reality.
• 9:01
  They know how to interpret reality, all
• 9:05
  because they are living from the heart.
• 9:11
  And it doesn't mean you have to be
• 9:14
  vulnerable, not at all.
• 9:17
  But you navigate through life in a much better way.
• 9:21
  Heart based living doesn't mean weakness.
• 9:24
  It means you are connected.
• 9:27
  Connected to yourself, connected to others, connected
• 9:30
  to life itself, and you interpret
• 9:33
  the information coming from the external world and
• 9:37
  coming from inside of you, through your heart, to your brain, in
• 9:40
  a much different way, uh, by doing these sessions with me.
• 9:44
  I have a masterclass
• 9:49
  out for members.
• 9:50
  Even free members can watch it.
• 9:52
  It's called the heart is leading the way,
• 9:55
  and your heart is leading the way.
• 9:57
  I want to encourage you to
• 10:00
  do that masterclass.
• 10:02
  It's an hour long,
• 10:06
  and it's the top of the iceberg.
• 10:08
  And then you follow me on this podcast,
• 10:11
  and you will know what we're talking about much more better.
• 10:15
  And you will be able to stay motivated
• 10:18
  and do the work needed to find yourself and
• 10:21
  ultimately love yourself and others.
• 10:23
  And the more people do this, the
• 10:27
  more people, the higher the chance that people, that
• 10:31
  are going to get into power, are
• 10:35
  also real human beings, because
• 10:39
  those that are in power now are not human beings.
• 10:41
  I don't want to say, call them human beings at all.
• 10:44
  They have completely lost.
• 10:46
  The knowledge of what a human being is
• 10:49
  and stands for should be.
• 10:51
  Sorry,
• 10:54
  but that's just my way of interpreting it.
• 10:58
  Let's get started, right?
• 11:00
  I'm already talking almost 11 minutes about people
• 11:04
  who can't find themselves.
• 11:05
  Let's find ourselves, or that gets back to ourselves,
• 11:08
  if you already found yourself, but maybe you want to get
• 11:11
  reminded who you really are.
• 11:13
  I'm going to turn the camera around, and
• 11:16
  we're going to do a short session, heart
• 11:20
  focused, and connect to life.
• 11:23
  See you on the other side.
• 11:30
  All right, everyone.
• 11:35
  As you can see, no view of the sea
• 11:38
  today, we are a little bit in a foresty area, but with
• 11:41
  more birds, so I want you to
• 11:44
  enjoy the sounds around you, especially
• 11:48
  for those with an immersive
• 11:51
  experience on the Patreon side, enjoy your session.
• 11:55
  Take a nice deep inhale through your nose as you get
• 11:58
  comfortable, and
• 12:01
  breathe out through your mouth all the way out as you let go,
• 12:04
  lower your shoulder, loosen your jaw, close
• 12:08
  your eyes if you want to, but you can also keep them open.
• 12:12
  And take another nice deep email through your nose.
• 12:15
  Exhale through your mouth.
• 12:22
  And let the day go.
• 12:24
  Feel yourself getting centered.
• 12:28
  Fall into place.
• 12:35
  Nice calm, deep
• 12:39
  inhales, and exhales.
• 12:45
  25 second inale, five second exhale.
• 12:54
  And notice as you calm down.
• 12:57
  as we all calm down in this group...
• 13:03
  that nature's getting closer, birds are getting closer and louder, too.
• 13:13
  Just by breathing calmer
• 13:17
  and slower, and telling our
• 13:20
  body that it is in a safe place.
• 13:24
  Also nature around us feels safe.
• 13:28
  Birds coming closer.
• 13:35
  Feeling safe as well.
• 13:41
  More and more comfortable with each out breath.
• 14:06
  If you have your eyes closed, I
• 14:09
  want you to open them for a moment and just look
• 14:13
  on the screen on your device, or if you're in nature, look a
• 14:16
  little bit around you, in a wide angle view.
• 14:23
  And remember what you see.
• 14:25
  Remember that picture.
• 14:27
  And as you close your eyes again, feel,
• 14:31
  stay in that picture and feel that you're still there.
• 14:45
  And move your awareness into
• 14:48
  your heart space.
• 14:55
  Become more aware of your heart.
• 15:01
  You can help by putting your hand on your chest right there where your heart is.
• 15:05
  And imagine, breathing
• 15:09
  through your heart.
• 15:17
  Imagine the air going in and out of your chest area.
• 15:32
  And know that your heart has an electromagnetic
• 15:36
  field that stretches several feet away from us.
• 15:46
  It's even more bigger than that.
• 15:51
  Just imagine that there's a soap bubble around you.
• 15:58
  Your heart feels.
• 16:00
  With every breath expand
• 16:03
  that field outwards.
• 16:07
  And sense your environment sense the present moment around
• 16:10
  you with your heart.
• 16:17
  Go beyond that picture you stored in your
• 16:20
  mind's eye of your surroundings.
• 16:27
  With each breath, your heart
• 16:30
  field gets bigger, your
• 16:35
  sense and notice more of reality of the world
• 16:38
  around you, becoming more and more connected.
• 16:58
  And as you observe, more
• 17:03
  and more, what lies inside,
• 17:06
  your heart field.
• 17:11
  Be the observer.
• 17:25
  Nothing else to do than to just be.
• 18:29
  and as you hear different sounds and feel
• 18:32
  different sensations, different thoughts come up.
• 18:42
  Thoughts that might not even be related to your
• 18:45
  environment.
• 18:57
  Just look at them as they are.
• 18:59
  They are thoughts.
• 19:00
  No need to go along with them, to
• 19:03
  be dragged away with them.
• 19:16
  They are just thoughts
• 19:42
  So, also, notice, as you observe
• 19:45
  your thoughts that you are not your thoughts.
• 19:50
  Thoughts are... pieces of information.
• 20:00
  That either come from inside, you were outside of you.
• 20:03
  or a combination of both.
• 20:06
  But they are not you.
• 20:14
  You are experiencing your thoughts.
• 20:52
  And based on your thoughts, you can make a decision.
• 20:58
  But then realize that if you're
• 21:01
  not your thoughts, why are you basing
• 21:05
  your decision on
• 21:08
  something that you're not?
• 21:22
  Some thoughts lead to feelings, some
• 21:26
  experiences lead to feelings, but
• 21:30
  also these feelings are not you.
• 21:34
  A feeling is something you experience.
• 21:43
  And based on these thoughts and feelings,
• 21:47
  you might want to make a decision on what to do.
• 21:52
  But then again, if you are not your
• 21:55
  feelings, and if you are not your thoughts,
• 21:58
  why are you
• 22:01
  basing your decision on something that is not you?
• 22:25
  And if this disturbs you, get back into your heart space.
• 22:33
  Keep breathing through your heart.
• 22:38
  I find that connection with nature again.
• 22:43
  world around you.
• 23:01
  And maybe you realize now...
• 23:05
  maybe
• 23:08
  you got a glimpse... of
• 23:11
  who you really are... or what you really are.
• 23:22
  You are life.
• 23:29
  You are... aware...
• 23:35
  awareness.
• 23:37
  You are aware of your thoughts.
• 23:42
  You are aware of feelings.
• 23:47
  You are aware of all the
• 23:51
  information that comes to the five and six
• 23:54
  senses of your body.
• 24:01
  Your awareness?
• 24:07
  You are alive, you
• 24:11
  are life, living, a
• 24:16
  human experience.
• 24:24
  And maybe that's what a human being,
• 24:27
  or being a human being, is all about, to live life.
• 24:42
  And if your thoughts and feelings
• 24:45
  are not really you.
• 24:54
  You also know you don't have to.
• 24:58
  Make decisions based on them.
• 25:01
  You can.
• 25:04
  Analyze your thoughts and feelings, and
• 25:08
  make different decisions.
• 25:10
  based on what is
• 25:14
  best for life, and does best for
• 25:18
  you, and all that you are connected to.
• 25:25
  Because you are life, you are also part of life, something bigger.
• 25:32
  We're all one.
• 25:39
  And if you decide to do something, It
• 25:45
  doesn't benefit life.
• 25:48
  You're basically hurting yourself.
• 26:36
  Continue with slow,
• 26:40
  deep breaths through your heart.
• 26:55
  Connect with life.
• 27:00
  All that lives.
• 27:05
  And thus yourself.
• 27:26
  You are awareness.
• 27:31
  Living life.
• 27:33
  As part of a greater life.
• 27:46
  And to stay aware...
• 27:49
  Of life.
• 27:51
  And thus yourself.
• 27:55
  We need to take care of life.
• 28:05
  And took care of love for life is to love life.
• 28:24
  For life to grow, you need love.
• 28:31
  For life to flourish.
• 28:33
  It needs love, the energy of love,
• 28:36
  the frequency of love, is in life, it makes life grow.
• 28:54
  It also makes life...
• 28:57
  Finish... in
• 29:00
  a loving way.
• 29:06
  Because all that lives, transitions,
• 29:11
  into other kinds of frequency.
• 29:14
  It changes into something we call death.
• 29:23
  Which is actually a sort of rebirth
• 29:26
  into another life.
• 29:35
  Another reality.
• 29:37
  Another dimension of life.
• 29:47
  Where you can also find yourself.
• 29:52
  Because you are also part of that life.
• 29:59
  And perhaps we go there to
• 30:02
  that part of life, when we sleep in
• 30:06
  our dreams, or
• 30:11
  when we meditate deeply.
• 30:18
  Realize that if you think about life this way, don't
• 30:22
  you agree that life is fantastic?
• 30:26
  Exhilarating.
• 30:31
  So much more.
• 30:32
  And what these thoughts it
• 30:35
  could be or can be.
• 30:41
  So I want you to take a nice, deep inhale.
• 30:44
  And fill those lungs, with life and air.
• 30:50
  And breathe slowly out.
• 31:02
  Breathe normally again.
• 31:05
  Slowly move your body back and forth.
• 31:10
  to get back to our 3D world,
• 31:13
  our 3D reality, as part of a bigger life.
• 31:26
  Wiggle your fingers and toes, and when
• 31:29
  you are ready, open your eyes.
• 31:31
  Welcome back.
• 31:33
  Welcome back.
• 31:36
  So welcome back, everyone.
• 31:38
  What did you think?
• 31:39
  Quite a heavy session, right?
• 31:42
  Big topics about getting to know yourself and
• 31:46
  realizing that you're actually life, part of life, that
• 31:49
  your awareness, awareness, living life.
• 31:54
  And I hope this session, with
• 31:58
  hard focused session, made you realize that, and
• 32:02
  also that you take the
• 32:05
  time, to interpret
• 32:10
  your thoughts and feelings, to make better sense
• 32:13
  of them, and you do that quicker and better if you reconnect your heart to the brain.
• 32:18
  Because it gives another dimension, another perspective,
• 32:22
  to your thoughts and feelings and what you experience in life.
• 32:25
  And that will make sure that
• 32:28
  you make better decisions, much
• 32:32
  better than you're only living inside
• 32:35
  your head, inside there.
• 32:38
  Take your heart with you, wherever you go.
• 32:40
  Please, if you're interested
• 32:43
  in learning more, want to go even deeper, take the
• 32:47
  masterclass, your heart is leading the way, which
• 32:50
