Day 11: Exuding Peace

Hi, I'm Chloe Freytag with Get Healthy U TV. Welcome to today's meditation. Today, our meditation includes a mantra, and the mantra we're utilizing today helps us to be more accepting, more accepting of ourselves, and more accepting of others. And always with mantra, feel free to chant along with me or chant in your mind, or just do your own thing and really connect into your breath, so you have the choices to make with this. Let's find our way into a comfortable seat sitting up nice and tall, getting your pelvis in a neutral position so your spine has a lot of space to lift up, hands can rest however feels good, and then make the choice to either close your eyes or softly gaze down towards the floor.

We'll start with our three deep breaths together in through the nose and out through the mouth, and if you'd like to join me with the arms, inhaling, reaching them up, and exhaling, sweeping them down, you can feel free to include that as well or just sit up tall. Let's inhale together, inhale. Exhale, let it go. Clearing the energy out. Again, big inhale, setting the tone for our meditation, exhale out.

Last time, inhale lifting that energy up, exhale, releasing all negativity out. Finding your way into the present moment by attaching onto your breath, being aware and present with that breath flowing in and out, as you sit tall and comfortably. And the sounds that we're working with today in our mantra are so hum. This is a mantra that helps us find more acceptance of all that is. So hum translates to "I am." And not I am this or I am that, but I simply am, exactly as you are.

Just connecting into that acceptance of ourselves so that we can be more accepting of others as well, feeling free to chant along with me, or chanting in your mind or just staying with your breath flowing in and out. So hum. So hum. So hum. So hum.

Continuing with that mantra. And allowing this mantra, these sounds, to help you take a step back, to become a bit more reflective, to become a better listener, listening more to yourself, listening more to others, not always reacting right away, but sometimes using that breath or using that mantra to bring yourself back to you, bring yourself back into that essence before reacting. Continuing to chant along with me or just listening or chanting in your mind. So hum. So hum.

So hum. So hum. Stay present with your breath, with the mantra if you're choosing to use it out loud or in your mind. And as you breathe, as you hear this mantra either in your mind or through your own voice, use these tools of your meditation to become more calm, more relaxed. If there's any thoughts that become persistent and seem to not dissipate easily, continue to invite in that tool of breath or that tool of the mantra, so that you can come back into that space of mindfulness.

Simply being more aware, more accepting of the moment exactly as it is. So hum. So hum. So hum. So hum.

I'm going to begin to chant in my own mind, I encourage you to continue with your mantra or with your breath, however you're choosing to utilize it. Just connect in the way that you're working with, using the sounds and the breath. Staying present by coming back into your breath, back into that mantra, whenever you get a little distracted, using that tool, the breath and the sound to take that step back, to become an observer of your own thoughts instead of attaching onto them. Feeling free to join me for one more round of our mantra out loud or staying with that mental mantra or just continuing with your deep breathing. So hum.

So hum. So hum. So hum. Accepting all that you are, every part of you being more compassionate with, more understanding. When we better understand ourselves, it becomes a lot easier to understand others as well.

So take a few more moments, either breathing long and deep or continuing that mental mantra or chanting aloud, really connecting into that feeling of acceptance. Letting everything be okay exactly as it is. We'll close our meditation together with one big, deep breath, pausing at the top, and the exhaling out through the mouth, and if you'd like to reach the arms up with me on the inhale and bring the hands with the palms pressing together at heart center on the exhale, feel free to do so. Together we'll inhale deeply, pause for a moment at the top, and then exhale through the mouth, bringing all of that positivity into your heart. Taking a moment of gratitude, feeling grateful for yourself, for all the blessings you have in your life and this commitment you've made to your mental health, to your physical health through meditation.

Softly allow your hands to rest back to your knees, blink your eyes back open. Thank you so much for joining me today on your meditation, we'll see you tomorrow.
