06:00Breathe in through the nose, exhale out of the mouth.
06:09And do that three more times on your own, just breathing in through the nose and breathing
06:14out through the mouth.
06:15And as you do this.
06:45And feeling this is a little bit of breathing and feeling this sense of connection to yourself.
07:15And then the left side of the mouth.
07:45And then you're going to breathe in through the nose.
07:47And then you're going to breathe in and out of your left nostril.
07:52And then you're going to breathe in through the nose.
08:22continue to breathe in through the nose and breathe in through the nose, and then you're going to breathe in through the nose.
08:24Continue to do this for another 30 seconds and just simply focus on the breath coming in and gently moving out, knowing that you are laying this foundation for your inner wisdom, your strength, your holding space for yourself in this moment.
08:54Just a few more seconds, breathing in through the left, breathing out through the left.
09:24And then slowly release your right hand from your right nostril, keeping the eyes closed for a few more breaths.
09:48And simply breathing in and out of your nose, feeling the breath traveling through both nostrils, but observing and noticing the sensation of calm and soothing and grounding that you've cultivated in your body, in your mind, in your soul.
10:04The left nostril breathing technique is perfect for when you are feeling a little anxious, when there's a little too much fire and heat in your body and you feel aggravated, angered.
10:18Even if you feel a little frustrated, this breathing technique helps to calm and soothe you and find that sense of neutral balance between your parasympathetic and sympathetic nose.
10:34Take another breath.
10:35Take another breath in through the rest.
10:36Take another breath in through the nose.
10:38And all together, let's breathe out of the mouth.
10:41And then start to blink your eyes open.
10:48So now we're going to dive into our meditation practice.
10:52The breathing techniques are about laying the foundation and prepping us so that we feel secure, stable and ready to experience something really soothing today.
11:04The breathing technique that we're going to use is just simply in and out of the nose as we do this meditation.
11:11But we are going to stimulate our hands.
11:16Right.
11:18And in the practice of yoga, when we use different hand positions, they're called mudras.
11:24Now, the really amazing thing is that regardless of where you are, who you are and the cultures that you're in, the hands are used in some way to stimulate and generate energy.
11:37Mudras are just simply the seals, these aspects of actually amplifying energy within us.
11:45In some mechanism, it may be about balancing, it may be about stimulating, it may be calming, whatever it may be.
11:55But today's practice is about harnessing all the energy that lives within us, our masculine, our feminine, our sun, our moon, bringing it together in an element of focus.
12:07Now, this is the mudra.
12:08Now, this is the mudra.
12:09All the tips of your fingers, including your thumbs, are going to touch.
12:12This particular hand position is called Hakini Mudra.
12:17And this is the mudra of focus and concentration.
12:22And that's really what I want us to cultivate today.
12:26Now, I'm going to drop a little thoughts here so that you really understand how we're harnessing this energy.
12:32Our thumbs are guided by and stimulated by the moon.
12:36They're calming.
12:37That aspect lives within us.
12:39Our index fingers stimulate and actually stimulate energy and are actually ruled by the planet Jupiter, which is about moving and being in action that lives within us.
12:54Our middle finger is ruled by Saturn, right?
12:58And Saturn has these rings and Saturn is about disruption.
13:03Sometimes we need to go inside of ourselves, shift things around so that we can actually stand and be firm in who we are.
13:13So Saturn helps us do that.
13:15The middle finger or our ring finger is actually stimulated by the sun.
13:21And that is about fire, about energy, about purification, about shedding light.
13:27Putting light on the things that are no longer serving us.
13:31And then our very final finger, our pinky finger is Jupiter.
13:35And Jupiter is Mercury, sorry.
13:38Our ring middle finger, what is this?
13:41Pinky finger.
13:42Our pinky finger is ruled by Mercury and Mercury is communication.
13:46So we have thumbs that are the moon, index fingers, Jupiter in action.
13:51Our middle finger, right, is Saturn, disruption.
13:55Our ring finger is the sun and our pinky finger is Mercury, communication.
14:01We're going to bring all of that together, harness that energy within us and then place our mudra right in front of our heart centers.
14:10So as the spine continues to grow long, you're going to close your eyes.
14:16All of the tips of your fingers are touching.
14:19And I want you to breathe deeply in and out of your nose.
14:25As the breath comes in, relax the shoulders.
14:28And think about all of the energy that resides in you.
14:35Everything around us is energy.
14:37Even the world that we are living in today is shifting and changing.
14:43And in order for us to respond with grace, with ease, with keen focus, we have to cultivate.
14:55We have to balance.
14:56And we have to find this new sense of energy, a renewed sense of energy, a more connected sense of energy than we have before.
15:11The times that we are living in are about shifting and changing.
15:17It is impossible for us to live our lives in the same way.
15:27And you, as the keepers, as the holders, as the nurturers, as the balancers of your families, of your community,
15:42in order for you to do this, you must amplify, you must elevate all of the energy that lives within you.
15:54So this morning, I'd like for you to breathe deeply in and out of the nose.
16:02Feel the sensations, the power of your sun energy.
16:09Shedding light on the dynamics within your life that you need to shift and change.
16:16That you need to burn away and purify.
16:20I'd like for you to acknowledge the disruption that is happening in our world.
16:33And know that the work that is being done gives us this opportunity to pause, to see, and even allow a little disruption to happen within our own souls, our own thoughts.
16:56So that when we come out of this crisis, this pandemic, we've cleaned our house.
17:05We've emptied it of its furniture.
17:09We've released the things that are no longer serving us.
17:13Because we looked inside and allowed the disruption to happen.
17:28Then I'd like for you to find this element of inner connection, inner dialogue.
17:39As the pinky fingers touch, you feel the energy of mercury communication.
17:47And know that that energy resides in you.
17:52Allow your thoughts to surface to the top.
17:59And know that through the breath, through the practice of meditation, you have the capacity to sift through the thoughts that are creating these elements of fear and anxiety.
18:14And know that through deep wisdom, deep inner connection, you can find that place of release and letting go.
18:30Stay connected to the breath.
18:33Allow it to flow in and out.
18:38As you feel your index fingers touch.
18:43And that amplified energy of being in action.
18:50As you move and navigate through the rest of your day, through tomorrow, the next week, the next month.
19:00All of your actions, all of your deeds are filled with divine intuition.
19:10Because you are taking the steps that you need to for yourself, for your family, for your community.
19:19And doing it.
19:20And doing it.
19:21With a wise, intuitive mind.
19:26And an open, compassionate, and loving heart.
19:40And I want you to feel the energy of the moon.
19:45The calming, soothing, nurturing energy.
19:55And I really want you to allow that to move into your heart space.
20:03As you press all of your fingertips together.
20:06As you focus on the breath moving in and out.
20:12Know that the qualities of the moon are the elements that are greatest within you.
20:23For this brings clear insight.
20:27Calmness.
20:30And it soothes the soul.
20:33In a very loving and nurturing manner.
20:45Harness all of what you are.
20:49And allow it to rest in your heart.
20:55You are an amazing, powerful, divine creature.
21:00And it is up to us to cultivate the energy that we need in order to move into this world.
21:12With divine wisdom.
21:15With grace.
21:20But mostly to move in this world.
21:27Connected to the heart.
21:32And clear sight through inner wisdom.
21:42Take a few more breaths in and out of your nose.
21:47Feel the expansiveness of your heart.
21:52Feel the cooling, calming, soothing energy that resonates within you.
21:58That seeps and pours from every inch of who you are.
22:08Breathing in.

22:44Breathing in.
22:45Breathing in.
23:16Continue to breathe deeply in and out of your nose.
23:44Feeling yourself grounded, rooted, connected to the earth.
23:52Feel that sense of equanimity, inner balance that you've cultivated this morning.
24:03And breathe into the essence of who you are.
24:18The divine light that radiates from you.
24:34Breathe into the power of your hands that support, that heal, that nurtures, that elevates not
24:52only yourself, but all those around you.
25:03Practice this morning is about cooling, calming, and moving from a place of inner stability.
25:19Breathe in.
25:23Exhale.
25:25Keep the fingers touching.
25:30Continue to breathe in.
25:35Exhale.
25:38One more breath as the fingers touch.
25:40Breathe in.
25:41And exhale.
25:45Allow your hands to come and rest on your knees with the palms facing down.
25:58Keeping the eyes closed.
26:00And I just want you to observe and notice what's happening in your body.
26:05What you may be feeling in your heart space.
26:09And as we take these few final moments together, I'd like to read you a passage in closing.
26:24Upon this earth, we walk a divine path of creation.
26:34Every step we take is a dynamic, powerful, elevated vibration.
26:43And each step that we take ripples into the next and impacts those around us.
26:54All of our souls, regardless of the steps we take, have to connect in purpose.
27:03Our steps are like streams of water that carry life.
27:12And the waterfalls that live within us craft this amazing and beautiful landscape called our lives.
27:24And our lives intertwine.
27:26And our lives intertwine.
27:27They connect.
27:29But mostly, the steps that we take cradle all of our hopes.
27:44So therefore, we have the choice to stand together or run away in fear.
27:57So why?
27:58It's not so much more.
27:59We take the correct step to the right.
28:02Once we take this deep space.
28:03Breathe in.
28:04Exhale slowly.
28:09Breathe in.
28:11Exhale slowly.
28:12Breathe in.
28:13Exhale.
28:17One more.
28:18Breathe in.
28:19One more, breathe in and exhale.
28:39Take your left palm, place it right in the center of your chest and allow your right
28:44hand to come and rest right on top.
28:49Feel your heartbeat, feel the rhythm and powerful elevation of your soul.
28:55Feel all the aspects of energy that runs and floods through you.
29:01And know that as the healer, as the keeper, as the nurturer, as the mother, as the sister,
29:07as the daughter, as the aunt, as the cousin to all of those around you, you have the capacity
29:18to not only nurture yourself, but take that energy and be of service to those around you.
29:27The times that we are in gives us the opportunity to look inside, to find the strength that lives
29:34within so that we may move out and navigate this world together.
29:41Deep breath in, feel that energy rise.
29:48Exhale slowly.
29:49Allow your hands to fall.
29:49Slowly begin to open your eyes and if you need to do any movements, any adjusting, any twisting,
30:04any stretching, rotate the wrists, rotate your ankles if you need to go in and do so.
