  Hello everyone, and welcome back again to another Love,
• 0:31
  your love muscle.
• 0:32
  I hope you're doing good, that you're enjoying the sessions
• 0:35
  and a podcast so far.
• 0:39
  Uh, and as you can see, we're at some different place now
• 0:42
  by the ocean, or this is still ajo,
• 0:45
  they say I would call it ocean.
• 0:48
  And, uh, yeah, so we have a little bit more water,
• 0:50
  but also a little bit more boats maybe.
• 0:53
  And those you might, during the session, you might,
• 0:57
  you might experience those boats as distracting.
• 1:01
  And that's what our, uh, our session we just had
• 1:04
  with my Norwegian group, uh, was about as well,
• 1:07
  like distractions and how we do that, uh,
• 1:12
  during meditation, how we experience those.
• 1:16
  And we did a little exercise, a mindfulness exercise
• 1:20
  that consists of two parts that we're going to do today too,
• 1:24
  uh, where we just be mindful
• 1:27
  and experience our surroundings
• 1:29
  and notice how we react to it.
• 1:31
  What do we feel, what do we sense?
• 1:34
  What do we think about certain things that are happening
• 1:37
  around us during our meditation
• 1:41
  and how do we react with it?
• 1:45
  What do we think about certain things?
• 1:48
  Um, and uh, it was interesting
• 1:51
  because in the first part, we actually got quite disturbed
• 1:54
  by a lady with a dog that walked by
• 1:57
  and didn't really know what to do,
• 1:58
  and she was a bit, uh, agitated and, uh, irritated.
• 2:03
  And everybody noticed that even
• 2:04
  with her eyes closed, they noticed.
• 2:06
  They felt that this lady was irritated
• 2:07
  and agitated by us sitting there.
• 2:10
  And, uh, she thought we were blocking her way,
• 2:12
  but it was the end of the road, nevertheless.
• 2:15
  So she had to return, which agitated her even more
• 2:18
  that she found out that there was the,
• 2:20
  there was no further way there.
• 2:22
  Um, so we had a, a laugh about that afterwards.
• 2:27
  Uh, but then we changed our state
• 2:30
  of being a little exercise.
• 2:33
  And, uh, what happened then was that actually our whole
• 2:37
  surroundings became much quieter.
• 2:41
  And, uh, any other disturbances that were actually far away,
• 2:47
  we experience them differently as well.
• 2:50
  So that's what I want to do with you today as well.
• 2:52
  So, repeat of what I just did with my Norwegian group,
• 2:56
  I want you to experience the same thing.
• 2:59
  And I will soon turn the camera around
• 3:02
  so you can look out over some
• 3:04
  the beautiful landscape we have here.
• 3:06
  As you can see, the sun is slowly going down as well,
• 3:08
  so it's perfect picture, perfect moment,
• 3:12
  and, uh, enjoy the sounds.
• 3:15
  It's, uh, set. You can smell the ocean
• 3:17
  and you can feel the wind.
• 3:20
  But uh, yeah, you get the, you get the sense of it.
• 3:24
  And, uh, we do this little exercise
• 3:26
  where we change the state of being midway in meditation.
• 3:30
  And I'll ask you to see and notice the difference before and
• 3:35
  after that little self-regulation technique
• 3:38
  that is the middle part.
• 3:40
  Okay? So enjoy and I'll see you after the session.
• 3:59
  Okay? Welcome back
• 4:03
  and find a comfortable position.
• 4:05
  Make sure you have good enough support.
• 4:13
  Just move your body until you feel most comfortable.
• 4:21
  Settle down and just take a good look
• 4:25
  over the landscape.
• 4:27
  If you're watching the video of this session.
• 4:34
  And listen, listen in as you slowly close your eyes.
• 4:38
  Take a nice deep inhale through your nose.
• 4:42
  Feel those lungs with air,
• 4:43
  and as you breathe out, lower your shoulders,
• 4:46
  loose your jaw, try to relax a little bit more,
• 4:49
  but eat out, breath, breathe all the way out
• 4:52
  before you breathe in again through your nose
• 4:57
  and out through your mouth.
• 4:59
  Ooh, letting the day go, letting everything go.
• 5:04
  Settling down, settling down.
• 5:14
  Now breathe calmly and deeply.
• 5:24
  Calm, slow, deep breaths.
• 5:46
  No. And notice where in your body you
• 5:48
  feel your breath the most.
• 5:57
  Where do you feel your breath the most?
• 5:59
  Focus on that point there in your body
• 6:03
  where you feel your breath the most.
• 6:10
  Maybe it's in your nose, the back of your throat,
• 6:19
  your chest, your tummy.
• 6:32
  Focus on that point where you feel your breath the most,
• 6:36
  and notice how it feels breathing through that point.
• 7:01
  Maybe you feel the colder air flowing in
• 7:07
  the warmer air flowing out.
• 7:38
  Beautiful. Now, move your focus.
• 7:42
  Point your awareness into the middle of your chest,
• 7:45
  right there where your heart is.
• 7:49
  Focus on your heart space
• 8:01
  And it can help to focus on your heart when you put your
• 8:05
  hand on your chest right there where your heart is.
• 8:12
  And imagine breathing through your heart.
• 8:49
  Just imagine that you're breathing through your heart.
• 9:07
  As you breathe through your heart.
• 9:10
  Think about your heart's electromagnetic field,
• 9:19
  an electromagnetic field
• 9:20
  that stretches out several feet away from you.
• 9:28
  And imagine this field as a soap bubble surrounding you.
• 9:38
  And I want you that, I want you to enlarge this field,
• 9:41
  to make this field bigger with its breath.
• 9:48
  And as you do that,
• 9:53
  encapsulate more
• 9:55
  and more of your surroundings in that bubble.
• 9:59
  Become more and more aware of your surroundings
• 10:03
  that you put inside, that heartfield,
• 10:07
  that bubble around you.
• 10:14
  Breathe through your heart and become more
• 10:16
  and more aware of the sounds,
• 10:22
  the wind, the temperature,
• 10:32
  ray of the sun hitting your skin.
• 10:55
  Become more and more one with the nature around you.
• 11:15
  Observe everything
• 11:22
  through your heart, your ears, your skin.
• 11:40
  Sense it.
• 11:44
  You also notice what this does inside of you.
• 12:13
  Everything you notice as you observe,
• 12:20
  does it create a sensation inside of you
• 12:23
  is the positive sensation or negative sensation.
• 12:29
  Just keep track as you observe.
• 12:41
  And if there are any thoughts coming up,
• 12:48
  what type of thoughts are these and how do they affect you?
• 12:52
  What do you feel with them?
• 13:06
  Notice everything
• 13:14
  Become more one, become more the observer.
• 14:20
  Beautiful. I
• 14:25
  want you to become more aware
• 14:31
  of a period in your life where you felt
• 14:38
  great joy or gratitudes
• 14:44
  or appreciation.
• 14:49
  So think back about a moment in your life
• 14:52
  where you felt joy, gratitude,
• 14:58
  inspiration,
• 15:09
  which could be anything.
• 15:10
  This could be something you were grateful for today,
• 15:15
  weeks back, years back.
• 15:18
  Can be small, can be big.
• 15:23
  Just something that made you feel great, joy,
• 15:28
  appreciation, or
• 15:31
  inspired and grateful.
• 15:36
  And as you breathe through your heart, I want you to relive
• 15:39
  that moment as if it is happening right now.
• 15:45
  Not only see it in front of you,
• 15:50
  but also feel it.
• 15:52
  Feel it with your whole you. All of your being.
• 15:57
  Recreate that moment inside of you
• 15:59
  as if it is happening right now.
• 16:03
  Really go for it.
• 16:05
  As you breathe through your heart, feel your whole being.
• 16:08
  Feel your body with that feeling of joy, appreciation,
• 16:14
  inspiration or gratitude.
• 16:19
  Maybe you even notice your body reacting with a smile
• 16:23
  or warmth that's going through your body.
• 16:26
  And that's okay. That's your body reacting to
• 16:29
  that experience you're recreating.
• 16:40
  Really go for it.
• 16:42
  Fill your body with this gratitude that,
• 16:46
  that inspiration,
• 16:51
  the joy,
• 16:55
  the appreciation.
• 17:13
  Beautiful. Now hold on to that.
• 17:16
  Let that really go through your body
• 17:19
  and through all your cells as you slowly return
• 17:25
  to sensing your surroundings
• 17:27
  where you are right now in nature,
• 17:34
  letting that experience, that moment go,
• 17:38
  but keeping the memory, the state of being.
• 17:45
  Keep that with you. Keep that inside of you.
• 17:48
  Radiate outwards.
• 17:50
  Be that in that situation,
• 18:07
  I should become more aware
• 18:12
  of what is happening around you right now.
• 18:15
  Sense it. Listen
• 18:18
  to the sounds, feel the wind.
• 18:22
  Feel the temperature.
• 18:27
  Become more one wi it.
• 19:04
  And how do you experience your world right now?
• 19:22
  How does a sound that up uplifts your meditation?
• 19:28
  How do you experience it?
• 19:35
  How does a thought or feeling that comes up
• 19:38
  affect you right now?
• 19:49
  Observe and learn.
• 19:55
  And as always, if your mind wanders off completely,
• 20:01
  don't worry without any frustration.
• 20:05
  Just get back to your breath.
• 20:06
  Breathe through your heart and refocus.
• 20:12
  Refocus onto this moment
• 20:17
  and your surroundings.
• 24:06
  Beautiful. Now it's time to become more awake.
• 24:13
  Just breathe normally.
• 24:17
  Take a nice deep inhale
• 24:18
  and as you exhale, move your body back and forth
• 24:21
  and side to side.
• 24:24
  Wiggle with your fingers and toes.
• 24:27
  When you're ready, open your eyes. Welcome back.
• 24:33
  Welcome back. All right,
• 24:40
  so I hope you enjoyed that session.
• 24:43
  What did you think about that last part?
• 24:46
  Uh, how did you experience that boat that you hear
• 24:51
  heard coming by?
• 24:54
  Did you find it distracting
• 24:57
  or did you feel it in a different way than
• 25:01
  otherwise, That you
• 25:06
  sense distractions
• 25:07
  or experience distractions in another way?
• 25:10
  Maybe you found it easier to make that bold part
• 25:14
  of your meditation, and maybe you found it easier
• 25:17
  to appreciate the waves that you heard
• 25:20
  that the boat made afterwards, when the boat disappeared,
• 25:24
  there were waves coming in from the, from the,
• 25:26
  the wake from the boat giving a more, uh,
• 25:30
  calming effect again.
• 25:33
  Uh, and many people that do the the heart, heart-focused
• 25:37
  bits where they changed their state of being by
• 25:40
  experiencing something inside of them that gave them joy
• 25:44
  and appreciation and gratitude, once they hold onto
• 25:48
  that state of being, they experience the world
• 25:51
  around them in a different way.
• 25:54
  So what normally would be very frustrating for them, uh,
• 25:58
  would be less frustrating or not frustrating at all.
• 26:01
  Um, there is more appreciation, uh,
• 26:05
  because there are more in a state of appreciation.
• 26:08
  They experience things more,
• 26:11
  they appreciate things more as well.
• 26:14
  Uh, things that they normally would take for granted maybe.
• 26:18
  So there's a whole new dimension
• 26:22
  that you experience once you change your state of being, uh,
• 26:27
  whilst being inside the same environment.
• 26:30
  Right? And that's the dimension of
• 26:33
  how you experience things and how you think of things.
• 26:38
  So that's an important part that I teach a lot
• 26:42
  in my classes and workshops.
• 26:45
  Uh, if you are listening to this podcast
• 26:47
  and you don't see any video, uh, you would like
• 26:51
  to see the surroundings here.
• 26:53
  Uh, and you would like to see things more alive
• 26:56
  and you would like to like
• 26:58
  to have seen the boats become a patron member
• 27:00
  because all the recordings of my podcast are in video,
• 27:07
  and you can watch them as a patron member.
• 27:09
  And of course, if you're watching this live now,
• 27:12
  you also see the video, right?
• 27:15
  Uh, I don't have to explain it
• 27:17
  'cause you see it if you're watching this live.
• 27:20
  And that's, uh, also every other week.
• 27:22
  Just follow along and enjoy
• 27:25
  and, uh, yeah, uh,
• 27:28
  enjoy in our presence
• 27:30
  and do a, do this meditation in a group together.
• 27:34
  So I want to thank you for this episode,
• 27:39
  for this time, for this day.
• 27:41
  And uh, as you can see, the sun is setting.
• 27:46
  I'll try to record more of these sessions here in nature,
• 27:50
  uh, and see how far I can go
• 27:52
  before the weather gets too bad.
• 27:53
  But I think it would be nice if you see the changes in the
• 27:57
  environment here, uh, after a while as well.
• 28:00
  Uh, so, uh, you won't,
• 28:03
  you won't see me in a t-shirt all the time.
• 28:06
  No, I wear a t-shirt even if it's cold.
• 28:09
  Um, but uh, yeah,
• 28:12
  I hope you will join me throughout all these sessions
• 28:15
  and, uh, and enjoy, uh, wherever you are.
• 28:18
  The beautiful surroundings here,
• 28:20
  even though it's not it's nature,
• 28:22
  but there's still human beings around with their boats,
• 28:27
  their motors there, uh, a sports park not far from here
• 28:31
  as well that you sometimes here.
• 28:32
  So there are, there is human activity, uh,
• 28:36
  and human activity is part of nature as well.
• 28:40
  And human activity we always have around us
• 28:44
  and during meditation too.
• 28:46
  So it's a perfect environment to train, to practice.
• 28:50
  And please use the comments and a chat to, to talk to me
• 28:55
  and, uh, and engage and discuss things that you experience.
• 28:59
  So yeah, be active even, uh,
• 29:04
  even though this is a meditation podcast.
• 29:07
  Okay, take good care everyone.
• 29:10
  Have a wonderful rest of your evening,
• 29:12
  wonderful rest of your day.
• 29:13
  Be safe and hope to see you back soon. Namaste.
