SHIFT Meditations

Welcome. I am delighted you are tuning in. In this episode we are exploring the nature of the mind.

In yoga philosophy there is a teaching of the 4 functions of Mind (Antarkarana)

1. Mamas -receives sensory input from the world around you

2. Citta- where that sensory input is stored and a story about it is formed

3. Ahamkara - the “I maker” where we form our self of self

4. Buddhi - our higher mind. Source of wisdom

We explore them in today’s guided meditation.

Welcome! I can’t wait for you to enjoy this episode. This wonderful guided meditation was recorded live during a yoga class so we begin with everyone lying down.

So I invite you to get comfortable and enjoy a balancing trip through your chakra system.

A chakra is a part of your energy anatomy. There are 7 main point along your spine where 2 nerves intersect and create an energy center. Each has a color associated as well as an arriviste that it supports.

As we flow through the points on this meditation focus inward on what you feel and trust your experience, no matter how it unfolds.

Welcome. Tonight in class we meditated on this moment and all that we may feel is a perfect moment. We worked in our yoga practice to soften the need to change it, push it away or judge it.

In this guided meditation we worked to just rest in it as it is. This perfect moment.

Enjoy.

Welcome everyone. For this episode I did a little something different.

We will be enjoying a pranayama (breathing)meditation. We will be enjoying a segmented breath- taking the breath in for 4 second long sniffs/strokes and breathing it out in the same way.

When we segment the breath in this way it stimulates the pituitary gland in the center of the brain awakening your higher mind.

Let me know if you enjoy and would like to see more episodes like this one.

Be well
