• 0:28
  Hello everyone.
• 0:28
  Welcome back to another episode of Love Your Love Muscle,
• 0:32
  a biweekly podcast about heart focus, meditation, uh,
• 0:36
  heart focus, living self-regulating technique, everything
• 0:39
  that helps you to get through life, uh, in a positive,
• 0:45
  healthy, mental, healthy way as well.
• 0:48
  Uh, we talk about everything, uh, that has to do with that.
• 0:52
  So as you can see, we are out in nature again.
• 0:56
  Uh, and yeah, there's a lot of snow.
• 0:58
  It's not that cold though, uh, and there's not so much wind.
• 1:02
  So we are a little bit more exposed today. And, uh, yeah.
• 1:06
  Today I want to talk about cleansing.
• 1:08
  Uh, as you might have known, uh, for the Muslim population,
• 1:12
  Ramadan has started, uh, which I have, uh,
• 1:16
  some personal experiences with.
• 1:18
  I've participated in Ramadan
• 1:20
  because, uh, some of my colleagues are Muslim
• 1:22
  and they did it as well, and I said, I want to join in
• 1:25
  and see what it's like.
• 1:26
  And, uh, I didn't do the strict version.
• 1:28
  Uh, I did fast, of course,
• 1:30
  because that's the main point of it.
• 1:32
  Um, uh,
• 1:34
  but I didn't eat mid, in the middle of the night after sundown.
• 1:38
  Uh, I ate in the evening, but I didn't have any breakfast
• 1:42
  and I didn't have any lunch and nothing in between either.
• 1:45
  I just had some tea in the morning,
• 1:48
  so some tea in the morning,
• 1:49
  and, uh, dinner in the evening, and that was it.
• 1:52
  Uh, and just to experience the effects of what it is
• 1:56
  that fasting, uh, and, uh, they were very positive.
• 2:01
  I slept better, I was more concentrated.
• 2:05
  I also got more energy
• 2:06
  and realized how much in the Western world,
• 2:08
  especially we are overeating
• 2:11
  and having too much of everything basically.
• 2:15
  Uh, I also had better dreams, not like the topic is better,
• 2:19
  but I, uh, I had clearer dreams to say it that way.
• 2:24
  So yeah, there was a lot of positive, positive things with,
• 2:26
  uh, with Ramadan.
• 2:28
  Uh, and, um, I, it started now.
• 2:32
  I didn't join in, uh, this time, uh,
• 2:36
  but I wanted to do something else.
• 2:37
  And as you might know, a lot of things I say and preach
• 2:41
  and talk about when it comes
• 2:43
  to meditation are related to Buddhism.
• 2:45
  I have talked in, uh, for groups with Buddhists
• 2:49
  and Buddhist practitioners as well about, uh,
• 2:52
  the scientific aspects of meditation, self-regulation,
• 2:57
  which ties in, uh, very well with Buddhism
• 3:01
  and Buddhist teachers, uh, teachings.
• 3:04
  Uh, but, uh, when it comes to fasting, I didn't do anything
• 3:07
  that is Buddhist related, but I'm going to start now.
• 3:09
  This Tuesday, uh, there is this Buddhist practice where you,
• 3:14
  every, uh, time, the moon, the moon changes,
• 3:18
  so from full moon to half moon, et cetera, uh,
• 3:22
  you only eat in the mornings.
• 3:24
  Uh, and I did some research.
• 3:25
  This ties in perfectly well with
• 3:28
  what some nutritionists say about intermittent fasting,
• 3:32
  that you just some days in a week
• 3:35
  or at least one day a week, uh, fast, which means
• 3:39
  for the Buddhist practice I'm going to start, is, uh,
• 3:42
  just eating in the morning,
• 3:43
  and then nothing more that day until the next morning
• 3:46
  where you just eat again
• 3:48
  and then follow your daily routine
• 3:50
  with lunch and dinner as well.
• 3:52
  Uh, this gives your, um, digestive systems from rust,
• 3:56
  and it also has a cleansing effect, uh, which is
• 3:59
  what I experienced the most with Ramadan,
• 4:02
  is the cleansing effect.
• 4:04
  You called it a little bit.
• 4:05
  Uh, you lose some weight, of course, uh,
• 4:08
  but the whole practice gives more energy.
• 4:11
  And, um, I will
• 4:14
  report on if the same is happening after a while.
• 4:17
  I guess it'll take several months, uh,
• 4:20
  before I notice something.
• 4:23
  Uh, but I will report on that.
• 4:24
  Uh, and if you want to join, uh, I can, uh, give you a link
• 4:29
  to a calendar which you can follow along.
• 4:33
  Uh, and then, you know, the days where you should be fasting
• 4:37
  and you can join, join in, in that that way.
• 4:40
  So, yeah. So today's, uh, session
• 4:44
  is all about cleansing.
• 4:46
  Uh, we have a little bit of wind so we can use that.
• 4:51
  Uh, and I recommend you to listen to this podcast
• 4:54
  and watch this podcast, uh, outside as well in nature
• 4:58
  and experience a little bit of the same effects as
• 5:01
  what you would do when you are here with me right now.
• 5:05
  Um, yeah, that's all I want to say about that, uh, uh,
• 5:11
  for now, uh, cleansing, that's what it is about.
• 5:14
  Uh, oh, some other things.
• 5:17
  Uh, I will take that
• 5:18
  after we are done with the session, uh,
• 5:20
  some news about stuff coming up.
• 5:23
  But, uh, let's first do the session
• 5:25
  and then I'll come back to you with, uh,
• 5:28
  my final thoughts about Ramadan fasting cleansing
• 5:32
  and some news about, uh, what's going on, uh,
• 5:38
  with, uh, the transformation meditation group
• 5:40
  and new things to there being planned.
• 5:42
  Okay. See you during the session.
• 5:48
  All right, everyone. As you,
• 5:49
  you might have heard in the introduction, there's a lot
• 5:51
  of animal activity going on, uh,
• 5:57
  like a bird right now.
• 6:00
  And, uh, some, uh, dogs are here as well.
• 6:03
  And you might be able
• 6:05
  to hear some footsteps from people passing by too.
• 6:08
  And there's fresh snow, so you can hear that as well.
• 6:12
  And just let it happen. It's all part
• 6:15
  of a meditation process, uh, being aware,
• 6:19
  uh, being in the moment,
• 6:22
  and just, uh, use everything that you have
• 6:25
  or that you notice in your meditation.
• 6:33
  Anyway, let's start with a deep in breath.
• 6:37
  Fill your lungs with air.
• 6:38
  Breathe in through your nose
• 6:42
  and breathe out through your mouth all the way out.
• 6:45
  Let the day go. Let everything go.
• 6:48
  Feel yourself getting centered and in place for this session
• 6:53
  before you take another nice deep inhale through your nose
• 7:00
  and exhale through your mouth, letting things go,
• 7:05
  letting the day go,
• 7:07
  centering even more, relaxing your muscles.
• 7:16
  And already this breathing out is a cleansing part,
• 7:25
  breathing normally and calmly
• 7:31
  before you transition to breathing deeper and slower,
• 7:44
  deeper and slower breaths just
• 7:46
  to calm the nervous system down
• 7:49
  and to tell your body that it is in a safe place.
• 8:13
  Uh, for those watching live
• 8:15
  and patron members watching their video recording,
• 8:19
  maybe you're even watching this, uh, in your 3D glasses
• 8:23
  or using your 3D glasses.
• 8:27
  Uh, just look at the landscape,
• 8:33
  take it in the sounds.
• 8:37
  Get as much of the experience of being in nature
• 8:40
  and outside as possible.
• 8:43
  For those listening in.
• 8:46
  Feel free to close your
• 8:47
  eyes and hear the sound.
• 8:51
  Listen to the sounds.
• 9:03
  So to reproduce the experience of a fast period, period,
• 9:07
  or Ramadan issue, Muslim scholar,
• 9:12
  it, you can, uh,
• 9:17
  you can exchange your old energy, stagnating energy
• 9:23
  with new energy that you get from the fresh air
• 9:27
  outside the sunlight,
• 9:31
  whatever you want to pull it from.
• 9:33
  There's energy all around us we can tap into,
• 9:39
  and we can release old stagnating energy,
• 9:45
  filled with emotions, because emotions are energy in motion.
• 9:51
  And we can push that out
• 9:53
  and breathe that out, that's stagnating energy,
• 9:56
  and let it be absorbed by the earth.
• 10:01
  Let it be carried away with the wind.
• 10:04
  Or maybe you want to, if you are inside, breathe it out
• 10:07
  to a flame, a candle
• 10:12
  to let it absorb there.
• 10:17
  So in a moment, I'm going to ask you to Visualize
• 10:25
  that beautiful, fresh, healing energy
• 10:30
  that is all around you.
• 10:36
  And I want you to visualize that you're breathing it in
• 10:39
  through your nose and absorb
• 10:43
  it in your body.
• 10:49
  And as you breathe out, I want you
• 10:50
  to visualize breathing out gray mist, which is
• 10:55
  that stagnating all the energy you no longer need.
• 10:59
  And just let it dissipate in front of you.
• 11:02
  Let it disappear or let it be absorbed
• 11:07
  by the earth, whatever you want
• 11:12
  to absorb it into.
• 11:20
  So let's get started. Take a nice deep
• 11:22
  in inhale through your nose.
• 11:25
  Visualize that fine white golden energy
• 11:28
  that you're pulling in right now.
• 11:30
  Let it go down into your lungs and into your heart,
• 11:33
  and let your lungs and heart distribute
• 11:37
  that energy throughout your body,
• 11:40
  Pushing Any dark, stagnating,
• 11:43
  no longer needed energy back into your lungs.
• 11:46
  And as you breathe out, breathe out that energy
• 11:50
  and let it disappear.
• 11:52
  Let it dissipate, let it go.
• 11:56
  And then you take another nice deep inhale
• 11:58
  through your nose again.
• 12:02
  Take in more of that beautiful, wonderful healing energy.
• 12:05
  Give it a nice warm white collar.
• 12:09
  Breathe in, in, in your lungs
• 12:14
  and at your lungs and your heart.
• 12:18
  Transport that energy throughout your body, pushing away
• 12:22
  any old stagnating energy that gets back into your lungs,
• 12:26
  and breathe it out through your
• 12:28
  mouth and it dissipate.
• 12:32
  Let it go away. Let's
• 12:36
  do it one more time together.
• 12:40
  Breathing through your nose, warm white golden lights
• 12:45
  into your lungs, into your heart, distributed energy,
• 12:49
  healing energy throughout your body,
• 12:52
  and breathe out any stagnating old energy through your mouth
• 12:57
  and let it dissipate.
• 13:03
  Just continue now in your own tempo, your own pace.
• 13:09
  Keep visualizing and really drawing that beautiful,
• 13:14
  wonderful healing energy that the earth provides to us,
• 13:17
  that the atmosphere provides to us,
• 13:19
  that the sunlight provides to us.
• 13:24
  And really visualize that gray mist going out,
• 13:29
  breathing out, gray mist, old energy.
• 13:31
  Let it disappear. And with every breath, just feel more
• 13:35
  and more energetic, more energy, more lightness.
• 13:42
  Just go ahead on your own the next few minutes.
• 15:53
  All right, beautiful. Just
• 15:58
  get back to your breath again.
• 16:00
  If you had wandered off,
• 16:06
  take a moment to focus on your heart space
• 16:12
  and imagining breathing through your heart
• 16:21
  and visualize and feel that energy you drawn in,
• 16:24
  that you revitalized
• 16:26
  and that revitalized that you
• 16:32
  feel that coursing
• 16:33
  through your whole system, through your body.
• 16:40
  And if you aren't smiling right now, just put up a smile.
• 16:43
  Just adjust your lips, adjust your mouth into a smile.
• 16:49
  Feel that warmth, that energy causing through your body.
• 16:52
  Maybe you want to put a hand on your chest
• 16:55
  right there where your heart is.
• 17:02
  Feel that
• 17:07
  lightness.
• 17:10
  No more dark, stagnating energy that is wearing you down
• 17:13
  and keep, makes you tired.
• 17:20
  Replen this with new energy, new ideas, new creativity.
• 17:29
  You can do this little reset, a little cleansing
• 17:32
  whenever you want to, whenever you feel the
• 17:34
  needs, wherever you are.
• 17:44
  All right. So breathe normally.
• 17:47
  Again, again, let's get back
• 17:51
  to the present moment.
• 17:56
  Become aware of your surroundings.
• 17:58
  We go with your fingers and toes,
• 17:59
  and if you had your eyes closed, open your eyes.
• 18:03
  Welcome back. Welcome back.
• 18:07
  So welcome back, everyone. How was that?
• 18:09
  Uh, I got a good new energy again, so that was nice.
• 18:14
  Uh, I needed it. Uh, you can see I'm smiling more now, uh,
• 18:18
  and just by guiding you through it, not really being in
• 18:21
  more meditative state than you are.
• 18:24
  So yeah, these things really help.
• 18:28
  Uh, and, uh, I didn't forget to, uh,
• 18:32
  take the spatial video this time either.
• 18:34
  So those that are patron members and having 3D glasses
• 18:38
  or accent glasses, you can download the session.
• 18:41
  This, the meditation itself in spatial, uh,
• 18:46
  formats, 3D
• 18:47
  and you get even more emerged into the scenery.
• 18:51
  So that's your gift for supporting me, supporting the group,
• 18:57
  and, uh, benefiting from all the
• 18:59
  wonderful things that we do.
• 19:01
  Um, I wanted to talk about some news.
• 19:05
  Uh, more interviews are coming up, uh, so not only
• 19:09
  with Aaron, but also other people.
• 19:11
  So that is nice. And, uh, there's a planning
• 19:15
  and masterclass as well, which is going
• 19:18
  to be published on Brains Magazine.
• 19:21
  And I'm also going to do a podcast for them, uh,
• 19:24
  in the future as well.
• 19:26
  So that's basically the news I'm planning on doing, uh,
• 19:29
  delivering more courses and therapeutic meditations as well.
• 19:33
  But, uh, yeah, the day is only so many hours
• 19:36
  and the year is only so many weeks.
• 19:38
  So, uh, give me some time to do all that.
• 19:43
  I'm also having clients in between and offline sessions
• 19:47
  and probably some travel coming up as well.
• 19:49
  So yeah, busy, busy, uh,
• 19:53
  and I'm just, uh, making sure I don't do everything at the
• 19:57
  same time and getting burned out and everything like that.
• 19:59
  Uh, I mean, that would look really stupid, right?
• 20:02
  You're teaching people how to self-regulate
• 20:05
  and stress management, et cetera, and you get stressed
• 20:09
  and burned out yourself, which is not, not
• 20:11
  what the thing supposed to be.
• 20:13
  So, uh, that's also the reason why you find me, uh, almost
• 20:19
  never on Instagram and Facebook,
• 20:22
  or at least meta met us, uh, social platforms.
• 20:26
  If you follow the news, you notice again
• 20:28
  that they have been dragged into court, mark Zuckerberg,
• 20:32
  where he has to explain how he makes children
• 20:36
  or young adults, uh, and adults of course, as well.
• 20:39
  I'm not sure why they always focus
• 20:41
  so much on the children when it comes to this,
• 20:43
  but they, they make people, um,
• 20:49
  oh, what's the word again?
• 20:51
  They make people, uh, coming back to Facebook, to WhatsApp,
• 20:55
  to Instagram over and over again,
• 20:58
  and they, uh, uh, make people addicted.
• 21:01
  That's the word I was looking for.
• 21:03
  They make people addicted, uh, to their platform, which
• 21:06
  of course is what they want, what they do.
• 21:09
  And I've been saying this for many, many years,
• 21:13
  and that's also the reason why I post very little
• 21:17
  on those platforms.
• 21:19
  Uh, so, and I don't care if you are still there,
• 21:24
  if you don't want to start using better alternatives
• 21:28
  that are not so addictive, uh,
• 21:31
  and you don't want to follow me there, that's fine.
• 21:34
  Uh, you can just continue following me on Instagram
• 21:37
  and Facebook, but you're just
• 21:38
  missing out on a lot of things.
• 21:39
  Uh, and not only because I post less, but also
• 21:44
  because, uh, Facebook
• 21:46
  and Instagram don't like this kind of content.
• 21:49
  I mean, uh, to be popular on those platforms, I have to, um,
• 21:54
  basically run around naked in the snow right now, um, um,
• 22:00
  act like an idiot and saying provocative things in order
• 22:03
  for people to, uh, in order for this pla these platforms to
• 22:08
  promote me, uh, to others.
• 22:10
  So, I mean, that's not what, what I'm about.
• 22:14
  Uh, I'm not an attention seeker in this way.
• 22:17
  I'm just, uh, wanting people to reconnect their heart
• 22:22
  to their brains and live a whole life as a whole human being
• 22:27
  and all the benefits, uh, that comes with it,
• 22:31
  and all the negative side effects of that as well.
• 22:34
  Like we talked about a little bit, uh,
• 22:37
  in our previous podcast about the negative effects
• 22:40
  of meditation and mindfulness.
• 22:43
  So if you have missed that, uh, session, just, uh,
• 22:46
  scroll back through the podcast episodes
• 22:49
  and, uh, through the live sessions that we had,
• 22:52
  and, uh, find that one back about mindfulness
• 22:55
  and the negative effects as well.
• 22:57
  And I just want to be real, uh,
• 22:59
  and also want to take care of myself.
• 23:01
  Uh, if I don't take care of myself, uh,
• 23:04
  and use time for myself, I can't help
• 23:07
  and be of service to others either so.
• 23:11
  And, uh, so I hope you understand that.
• 23:14
  Uh, so, and yeah, take action,
• 23:19
  be the change you want to be in the world,
• 23:20
  and if you find meta platforms, uh, addictive,
• 23:25
  you struggle with them, you don't feel comfortable
• 23:28
  with them, don't use them.
• 23:31
  It's just the way it is. And if more people
• 23:36
  understand that, more people will also stop using those
• 23:39
  platforms and will find alternatives,
• 23:41
  and they'll find their tribe, their friends,
• 23:43
  their family, absolutely.
• 23:45
  Another platforms as well.
• 23:47
  I've been for many years on Vero, true social, real people,
• 23:52
  real engagements, always nice comments.
• 23:55
  And, uh, yeah, so I can, I can hardly, I can, uh,
• 24:01
  wholeheartedly, uh, recommend Vero to social.
• 24:04
  If you are in Norway, there is this new platform called hud,
• 24:09
  uh, which is, uh, Scandinavia.
• 24:12
  Now, it's also for the Danish people
• 24:14
  and for the Swedish people,
• 24:15
  and they're trying to go more international as well
• 24:19
  to other countries.
• 24:21
  But, uh, that's an alternative.
• 24:23
  Um, it's nice, uh, we are there with the Norwegian part of,
• 24:28
  uh, the Transformational Meditation Group.
• 24:30
  Um, but, uh, yeah, to say if you want to compare VR
• 24:34
  to social is still my place to go.
• 24:37
  Uh, if you want the Twitter alternative
• 24:40
  or an X alternative, go Mastodon, which is, uh, distributed,
• 24:45
  you can, it's like getting your email address.
• 24:47
  You get your mastodon or fatty verse address,
• 24:51
  and you can start tweeting, tweeting, as they call it,
• 24:54
  in Mastodon, which is funny.
• 24:56
  So yeah, lots of alternatives that are not
• 25:00
  so algorithm based
• 25:02
  and, uh, trying to be, trying to get you addictive to them.
• 25:08
  So, yeah, but again, I've told this so many times right now
• 25:12
  that uh, I'm getting tired,
• 25:15
  but, uh, I, I wish I, I, I wish after this video
• 25:20
  or after this podcast, uh,
• 25:21
  my follower count on Instagram especially would go to, uh,
• 25:25
  half of what it is right now.

  I think it's almost 3000.
• 25:29
  Uh, I have one and a half thousand on Vero.
• 25:32
  It would be very nice to see the Vero followers going up
• 25:36
  to 3000 and my Instagram following, going down
• 25:39
  to one and a half thousand.
• 25:40
  So, and I guess of those one
• 25:43
  and a half thousand, I guess maybe 500 are real people.
• 25:47
  I'm not sure. The rest maybe are both or whatever it is.
• 25:49
  So, yeah. Uh, on Instagram anyway, enough talk,
• 25:55
  uh, and as you notice,
• 25:57
  I talk a lot right now is because I got more energy.
• 25:59
  'cause we did that energy session, right?
• 26:02
  So that's, uh, yeah, the, the effects
• 26:06
  of drawing energy, you can, like I said,
• 26:08
  you can do this every time and whenever you want,
• 26:11
  whenever you feel to, whenever you need to.
• 26:13
  So anyway, I hope to see you back next time again.
• 26:17
  Have a wonderful rest of your day.
• 26:18
  Wonderful rest of your week.
• 26:20
  Be safe, take care, and namaste.
