Lesson 145: AUDIO Meditation - Ease

Today is all about going through a 5 minute meditation with the following phrases:

·         I choose ease

·         I choose peace

·         I choose joy

The audio on this post should play but if not, it’s about taking a moment to breathe in and out those phrases and noticing how your body feels. Note down as you say each phrase how you are feeling and what thoughts go through your head. It’s important to take deep breaths in and exhale through your mouth. You can do this meditation with eyes open or eyes closed – however you feel comfortable.

I chose to close my eyes as this is how I meditate. I felt like a weight was lifting from my chest. I got a bit worried as I was searching my whole house for this bill that I needed to pay. I was a bit panicked prior so felt anxious. As I did this exercise, I felt more relaxed and that anxiety dissipate. I think it’s a powerful meditation to change a bit of mental thoughts and the processing we churn in our minds. We can achieve all these things in our life and can repeat those words as personal mantras.

How did you go with the exercise?

Lesson 145: Even a Short Time Ago...

“Even a short time ago, you were controlled by schedule, that “to do” list. But now, as you enter into heart of connection, you realize that time also, is one of One. There is no difference in all the layers and levels of the Universe: time, space, matter, you.”

— Sara Wiseman

Today we are to check in and see what emotions and feelings pop up to your “to do” list. Is there anything that has changed in your perspective towards this and time?

I very much have an open ended set of goals. I don’t make a timeline of when to do my goals. I try and just vaguely set myself goals to do for the year, but really they can extend to the following years. My plans are things I want to achieve in my life with no set timeframe.

I guess the concept of time can be tricky because we are accustomed to a certain way of living based on our jobs and pretty much how society has set it. If we could all just do what we truly wanted and push work to certain parts of the day and do more things we loved, then really we wouldn’t base it around the constructs of time. I would love to spend most of my time reading, travelling, studying etc but then I have a 9-5 job. What the construct of my environment restricts me from, is flexibility with time.

It’s a nice thought to have time as a constraint. I try and go with the flow of things and don’t rush myself in anything I do. I am living for experience, so in that sense I am savouring time in moments and memories. As for a “to do” list, I am not strict on that either – it’s just a list of things to achieve before I die mostly.

What are your thoughts on this?
