Peaceful By Nature

This is a powerful practice that can be used anytime you are experiencing stress, anxiety, or in a situation that has you feeling angry, frustrated, or not at ease in any way. This is a meditation and reflection that can be done in stillness, with a journal, or out on a walk. Take this practice and use it before you react to anything that has you feeling distressed. This will help you respond in a skillful way to whatever situation you are encountering. This will allow you to check in with yourself and process what is going on before you take rash action, or say things that lead to more conflict.

This follows the acronym of BALANCE, and you can remember to use these tools in any situation. Honestly, if you just use the first one you will find greater peace. Use the first 2, 3, 4 or all 7 and you will have the skills to navigate many challenging situations.

A short 2 min version of this will be available as a Thanksgiving Gift.

This is just the Self-Care Meditation that will leave you feeling more in tune and aligned with your Authenic Self.

It is really important during this time of year that we make it a priority to pratice self-care. Check in daily. This can be through meditation, journaling, and other processing work such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Yoga and time in nautre. When we tend to ourselves, we are less reactive and less likely to respond in a way that is unskillful. When we give space to allow what is and step back into the witness position of unconditional love, we can show up in the present moment. Breathing fully, feeling energetic, engaged, healthy, and balanced in our bodies, minds and spirits. Within relationships it is critical you cultivate unconditional love and respect, and release the need to control, shape-shift, or to be anything other than your authetic mindful, and loving self. You can be the pepple of peace and unconditional loving awareness that ripples out into your environment. Your home, neighborhood, community, state, nation and globe. There is a lot in this meditation. It’s a little bit longer. AND it’s very important work. Change starts with you.

I will guide you through the five pillars of Balanced Awareness: Presence, Physical, Emotional, Relational, and Environmental. After a check in, we will cultivate a healthy balance between these 5 Pillars of through: Box Breathing (5-5-5-5), guided Body scan, and a relaxing visualization resting in the hammock of unconditional love. Allow these visualizations to inspire your creativity. Allow these words to guide you into a state of unconditional love and open receiptivity. You may become aware of new possibilities and areas of growth. Keep a journal near by to write down any insights you gain from this meditation.

Nothing happens to you. Everything happens for you. For your evolution, for your growth, for your awakening, for your heart expansion. This is your unique life curriculum. Only you can take this course. Only you can learn, grow and become all life is asking you to become. To show up aligned and awake. With greater unconditional love for yourself and the world.

As we move into the holiday season  . . .

You may be traveling. If so, I urge you to do so with utmost care. Stay healthy. By mindful of your choices.

If you are staying at home, there may be a sense of grief or loss because you are not able to celebrate in ways that you have. It’s important to recognize and allow these feelings so you are not subconsciously controlled by them. It’s a wonderful time to cultivate new traditions of how you want to be.

We are living in a dynamic and ever-changing world. It will be increasingly different than anything we have experienced before. These tools, checking in with yourself and being the change you want to see, this is how the world changes. One open heart at a time. One  vulnerable heart at a time. One person, YOU, showing up in your life with greater alignment. With Ease, Purpose and Joy.

This is a grounding meditation to bring you into the present moment. The only moment that exists. It's very easy to future trip or to spiral back into the past. Especially during these uncertain times. It's the eve of the United States election November 3, 2020 and there is a lot of anxiety and fear. It is incredibly important to return to the present, otherwise we risk panic and overreaction.

In this meditation, I will guide you into the present using the portal of the breath, the body, senses, and the energy centers.

Practices in this episode include:

1. Box breathing, which is inhaling for five holding for five exhaling for five and holding for five. This is a balancing breath that can be used at any time to balance and come back to equilibrium, it is actually the healthiest breath to use on a daily basis throughout your daily activities.

2. A body scan bringing relaxation and groundedness into the body which also comes to mind from your head to your toes.

3. Awareness of the senses.

4. Insight awareness through the energy centers of the body starting with the third eye, down to your throat, heart center, solar plexus, dantian, pelvic floor and then up through the spine, to the crown of the head.

5. The final exercise is what I call 'popcorn breath,' which POPS you out of fear and anxiety.  Two short and full inhales, filling the lungs through your nose and a long exhale through your nose or your mouth.

Each of these exercises can be done individually as standalone practices to ground you in the present moment.

I hope that you find these helpful. Please let me know how you are experiencin and navigating these uncertain times. Please rate and review this podcast, it will help others who may really need these practices, find these meditations. Also, share this podcast with your friends, family and on social media and be a part of the Peaceful shift in consiousness on this planet.

Exciting news! I have a series of upcoming workshops on 'Living in Authentic Alignment' and 'Connecting to your Essential Self.' If you are interested in these workshops please head over to my website www.balancebySage.com to get on the mailing list.
