Anxiety Pill: Active Meditation - Yoga - Music

Because the more you learn about you, and who you are, it's pretty amazing things are start to happen. If you look inside, spiritually, you may be able to find the answers that you've been looking for all along. An act of meditation is a lot like what someone would say is a walking meditation. Outside, you're moving, you can be inside or outside, it doesn't matter. You can move your body and do

slow yoga poses or tai chi. If you struggle with maintaining your attention for very long meditation is a great place to help rewire some of that stuff going on in there to straighten itself out if you know what I mean. And that's just put it to you just plain and simple to probably here because you want to give it a try. So here we go.

So maybe you found a special spot inside, your favorite little spot me in the corner by the window just happens to be quiet right now. And you're going to take 10 minutes for yourself just to regroup. Or maybe you ran into your bathroom and slam the door and locked it because you got little fingers pulling at you underneath. Let's do an act of meditation. Get the anxiety out recenter ourselves and go back out there with a big ol smile and a new one be faking it. Me feeling it. So find your

spot. Start in a standing position. And take a big deep breath, reaching your arms out to the side up over your head and reaching those arms behind you the big stretch and slowly put those hands in your prayer and drop that prayer into your heart resting it right on your chest. And let's just stay there for a few moments and enjoy our

surroundings. You can feel your hands moving up and down on your chest with your breath you can feel your surroundings the little noises finding this sweetness and those noises and focusing on the sounds that you're hearing that are the closest to you now pull your attention over to the sounds that are the furthest away What is that sound that you hear? Way out in the distance now pull your attention back to your prayer resting on your

chest. With every breath going up, you feel those hands going up. And every time you release you feel it going down some let's find a rhythm. Let's breathe in through your nose and push it out of your mouth notice your pattern Breath. Feeling the movement and putting your arms down to your sides with your palms facing out. Take a big deep breath once again, raising your arms up to the sides and reaching them high as high as you can above your

head. Stretching, reaching, releasing, take a big deep breath and let it down and fall into your forward folds. your forward fold is your standing position your hinge down that your hips, your arms are on the floor or close to the floor. You can bend your knees as much as you'd like. And as you're staying in that position, just kind of sway your upper body to the right to the left. Just release as you sway right and left. Just focus on the

motion. Focus on any sensations of what you're feeling on your skin. Any warmth, anything cold and just go back to the center. Holding your forehead folds. Now breathe in half left. Exhale forward folds. Place both hands on the ground and take your right foot, step it back into a plank position and let your left foot meet that right foot. This is a yoga plank position. If you need to modify just place your knees on the floor and lift your

feet up. Holding this plank position I want you to breathe in through your nose and breathe out through your mouth breathe in through your nose and breathe out through your mouth lowering your body all the way to the ground. Place your hands next to your shoulders. Palms facing down the ground. Keeping your knees on the floor push back into a child's pose. From your child's pose position, push back into your downward dog into your right knee pushing down into your left heel and

switch to the other side. Bend your left knee and press your right heel into the floor and just kind of pedal it out. Right and left, right and left. Press both heels down on the floor. Pressing through deep in the palms of your hands. Pushing away from the top of your mat. Lifting that tailbone up. Hi trying your Korean really tight. Take a big deep breath let out that breath slowly come up on

your tippy toes. Pretend a wave is moving through you starting at your toes and moving up through your legs and rounding out your back dropping you back into your yoga plank take a big deep breath, holding that plank. Inhale and exhale push back once again into your downward dog.

Look at the top of your map, point your toes and try to keep your legs straight to be towing all the way up to your hands to the top of the mat how grab those big toes with your index fingers keeping your legs straight look up and no pull up. You'll feel this stretch in the back of your hamstrings. Take a big deep breath. Let out that breath and take those index fingers on those toes and pull your upper body down towards you as close

as you can. Maybe those elbows are out popped out to the side now walk your feet out a little bit wider than shoulder width apart. Have your knees and your toes going the same direction pointing out and drop into your yoga squat. Or Mala Sinha have your hands together. Elbows inside those knees. Open up that chest those hands into prayer maybe a soft gaze or your eyes are closed let's go back to that breath.

Breathing in through your nose and breathing out through your mouth stay here and do this as long as you like as long as you need. Me doing some visualization of joy washing through your body when you're breathing in. And purposely choosing to let that pain out in the darkness and the anxiety and just watch it leave your body when you exhale. Thank you for your time. I encourage you to continue practicing meditation, being still honoring yourself, honoring God, your Creator.

Noticing that you are blessed. And you are loved. Namaste Amen.
