Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, all.
So I wanted to close oursession today with a brief
meditation practice, and thepurpose of this practice is to
help us make room for pain.
As I was deciding on how weshould approach this, what we

(00:23):
should do, I think it would benice to open this up for any
sensation that we don't like oris uncomfortable, or even any
emotion that's uncomfortable.
So, once again, this is ofcourse.
We're taping it.
So if you can't stay, it's cool.
I will ask you to probably staymuted as we try to get
ourselves to relax, and we'll dothis for just a few minutes,

(00:45):
because I didn't want to have afew minutes.
You know, in case there's anyquestions or anything.
If you have to miss it, noworries, this will go live on
the podcast.
The meditation piece willprobably go live in about two to
three to four weeks, but I willnotify you and if you are on my
email list, you'll definitelyget it.
And then, if not just Art ofHealing podcast, any of the show

(01:06):
notes will take you there.
So, if you all are ready,wherever you are, if you want to
maybe take a few minutes to getready to relax, so if you're
maybe up running around, if youwant to find a place you could
be seated and a little bitundisturbed, and we'll probably
do this for maybe five or sixminutes.
And if you want to get yourselfcomfortable, if you're seated,

(01:33):
sometimes stretching out rightear to right shoulder, left ear
to left shoulder, chin to chestor forehead to the sky, and if
you want to inhale through yournose and exhale through your

(01:56):
mouth, and if you can possiblygo ahead and let your eyes close
, if it's possible, and if youcan just simply listen, inhaling
through the nose and exhalingthrough the mouth.
So we are making room for painor discomfort.

(02:20):
It's common to tighten aroundany discomfort.
So as you inhale and justexhale, naturally, if you'd like
to sense, from the top of yourhead to the bottom of your feet,
anything that you just don'tlike maybe it's painful, maybe

(02:45):
you just don't like, Maybe it'spainful, maybe you just don't
like how it feels and briefly,just bring your attention to
that part of your body Maybeit's tightness in your jaw,
maybe it's tightness in theshoulders, maybe it's an upset

(03:12):
stomach and as you inhale andexhale and you sense that area,
now just note how you feel.
Do you feel hope, a sadness,regret?

(03:33):
Nothing?
You only note how you feel,just noting the experience.
And as you note this area thatholds a feeling that you don't

(03:54):
like pain or discomfort or don'tlike it, think of something
that you can say where you havecompassion for yourself.
You can say it's okay that I'mworried, it's okay that I'm sad,
things will get better.
Sometimes I don't feel good butI will feel better.

(04:18):
I wish I had not said dot, dot,dot to so-and-so that I can
make it better.
And as you inhale and youexhale, continue to say that

(04:44):
positive phrase in your mind,just to that place in your body.
And as you say that phrase itmay feel like that spot can open

(05:17):
up.
Maybe it's a circle that canexpand or even a part of your

(05:47):
body that can sort of open up.
And as you inhale you may findthat with the inhalation you can
make space and room and maybethis thing that doesn't feel so
good doesn't feel as much.
So it may be that as you inhalethere is space and as you

(06:11):
exhale it just doesn't have asmuch magnitude.
So we'll take another minute,eyes open or closed, close,
sensing that part of our bodies,having compassion for ourselves

(06:32):
and the part of our body thatholds this uncomfortable thing
and just breathing, thank you.

(07:25):
So if you'd like to take onemore inhalation and exhalation
and if you feel ready, you canopen your eyes and we have a few
scheduled minutes.
If anyone has any questions,any concerns, keep in mind

(07:50):
