Hi everyone, it's Amanda riger Green. This is an open
eye meditation. You can do it seated or lying down
wherever you are. You want to fixate your gaze. When
we do open eye meditations, we not only enhance our
external vision and our sensory perception with what we see,
(00:22):
we tap into and enhance our internal vision. So we
marry our inner eye with our outer eyes. So wherever
you are, let's first take a deep, cleansing breath. Inhale,
Fully open your mouth audible sigh. Two more inhale, exhale,
(00:50):
audible sigh on this last inhale. Imagine your spine elongating,
finding length, and as you exhale, relax with your eyes open,
fixate your gaze whatever is in front of you, Allow
(01:19):
the stillness, Allow any irritation or discomfort to gently release,
letting your eyes relax, the back of your eyes, your eyelids,
(01:42):
keeping them open, bringing your awareness to whatever is in
front of you. Feeling the energy in your body wherever
there is tension, signal it to release. Keeping your eyes open.

You may feel a little uneasy, you may feel calm
whatever is arising, Embrace it, keeping your eyes open, focusing
(02:31):
yet losing focus maintaining your gaze, recognizing what you are
aware of, listening to my voice, listening to yourself, looking
(02:53):
outside of yourself, and looking inside of yourself. Notice if
there are any sensations in your body, the sensation in
and around your eyes. Keeping your eyes open, you can blink,
but maintaining your gaze, noticing if you see any colors,
(03:21):
if sounds are becoming more pronounced, Being gentle with yourself,
allowing all tension to be freed, finding space within now
(03:47):
in this moment, asking for divine awareness, asking what you're
ready to heal, what you're ready to let go of,
what you're ready to surrender. With your eyes open, bring
(04:10):
your awareness to your heart, if you need to, put
a hand on your heart, feeling the gentle beat of
your heart. Eyes open, asking what you're ready to heal,

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
