- Today we're gonna work on a meditation
which is very important to keep in mind
and practice if you have experienced sudden shock
or some stressful situation has happened.
This is not just general stress.
This is if something really has hit you
and you feel in a shock state.
The meditation is not very difficult.
We're gonna do it together with a specific mantra
but just try your best to do as much as you can.
Don't push yourself too hard
or panic if you can't do something.
We're gonna use a breath and a mantra
and if it's impossible for you to do for the whole length
you shorten it.
The important thing here is that you stay within
and contain that energy so we can balance.
We're gonna work on the left hemisphere of the brain
which also interacts with the base of the right hemisphere
and that's very good to maintain when there's balance
instead of getting shattered under stressful situation.
It's a very important meditation
and it will serve you very well so let's give it a go.
So let's first tune in.
We're rubbing the hands together
placing them at the sternum.
Inhale.
(chanting in a foreign language)
Inhale.
Make an offering.
Stay tranquil through the rest of the practice.
So we're gonna bring the forearms close to the body
and you're gonna turn them so that the right palm,
so the right hand rests on the left hand.
The thumbs are gonna be touching
and you're gonna turn them towards the body,
so as much as you can back.
And you're gonna rest this mudra
about one millimeter up from the navel.
Body's relaxed.
The eyes are going to be focused at the tip of the nose
so slightly open and you cross them at the tip of the nose
so if you think about it it's an extension somewhere here
and it can be very blurry in the beginning,
you may have double vision.
Don't worry, we all have this.
With practice the nerves lock.
It's very important so that we can force the mind
to stop going wild and come to the now, to the here.
So holding this mudra,
right on top of the left, thumbs are touching,
resting this one centimeter away from the body,
eyes slightly open focusing on the tip of the nose
and we're gonna breathe long and deep on the inhale.
On the exhale we're gonna chant
(speaking in a foreign language)
and we're gonna repeat this three times in one breath out.
It can be challenging if you've never done this before
so please don't panic.
You can do it one turn per breath.
You can try twice the mantra per breath
and if you feel like it's natural and comes easy for you
come with me and join me
and we're gonna repeat this three times on the exhale.
It's an enjoyable mantra so just go with the energy
and let's have a try.
Inhale.
(chanting in a foreign language)
Inhale.
(chanting in a foreign language)
Inhale.
Exhale, relax the hands.
Close the eyes.
Just breathe normally through the nose.
(soft relaxing music)
And now come back, open the eyes.
Let's open the neck, the shoulders.
When you're ready let's tune out,
rubbing the hands together,
placing them at the sternum
and inhale and exhale.
Inhale deep.
(chanting in a foreign language)
I hope you enjoyed and felt the power of this meditation
to really hold this in a moment of pain or fear or shock
and we all experience this
and we all go through different moments in life
so it's important to know what to do
and how to take us out of this state
or at least alleviate some of the shock.
(speaking in a foreign language)
I hope you have a great day and I'll see you tomorrow.
