In this podcast, we look at what it is to be “normal”, and how we can use meditation to not be afraid to be ourselves.
What is it to be normal? When we use this word “normal” - what does it mean?
And what has this to do with meditation? Meditation can enable you to be yourself - who you really are. It does two things:
- Allows you to discover who you really are
- Gives you the strength to be yourself
The more you meditate, the more you shed off all of the norms of your personality and become closer and closer to who you really are. So if you’re waiting to gather that strength in your life to be who you really are, try meditation. Try to integrate meditation in to your life and see where it takes you.
In today’s session, we will focus on gaining this strength through a part of our body that is quite underrated - our spine.
This session is dedicated to activating the spine and activating the spiritual energies around your spine.
We will use three very simple steps to do this:
- We will become aware of our spine.
- We will visualise that our spine like it is like a hollow piece of bamboo, open from the top. As we inhale, we’ll imagine inhaling energy from the top flowing in and reaching down to the tailbone. When we exhale, the energy is spreading all throughout our body from the spine axis.
- We will then leave this visualisation and sit in silent awareness for roughly 10 minutes.
Maintain a nice stable posture throughout this meditation, so that your body can be rested, and you can let go so that you can go into the visualisation effectively.
I hope you enjoy this meditation!
