I'm trying to see the names here to see who I know are you who has been here with me before if you can kind of let me know who was here before for the one of the first ones. They love everybody. Hi Jerry. Hello
So how are we feeling today? I was telling Alyssa that today was one of those days where like, what happened I mean, it was so fast. So I was fortunate to have the opportunity to slow down to be with you today. And I'm really very excited hype him about this. So I was thinking to give a little review of what we have done before we had about three sessions, your meditation and they are not kind of connected but sometimes my examples are of daily life and I just wanted to give a threat to my madness in the examples that I have. So we are going to begin this sessions especially for yoga nidra. And in the years that I have known Andrew at the beginning when I became his student, he was not very impressed with yoga nidra I was like yeah, that's a nice thing. Yeah, you know, he turns his face like this and it's okay. But as time has passed, and after, especially after his interview regarding the liminal state years with Jennifer Domburg and she has a little bit of yoga nidra and he he has another very, he has the interview with the Irest and another one and last one was with Michelle Lowe, which is one that she teaches a lot with Robert Thurman, which has a fantastic of course also of yoga nidra for those that you are interested, which I also have taken, he began to see different aspects of yoga nidra that when I offered to teach, he said, Okay, Mara, you can go ahead and teach him a little bit about yoga nidra yoga nidra is more. So many schools, although there are some systems and we should go to different layers. Yoga Nidra is comes basically first more from the Hindu Hindu part of it instead of the Buddhist where as I study more, and I knew more and I got into yoga nidra when I took my yoga training program, which is mostly based in the potentially on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the mind as they study there, and then of course shavasana in shavasana is or could be short you have any dress. I am not here to give you the whole history, but and I cannot guarantee you all the things that they say that yoga nidra does for you, you know they can cure illness. You can connect with your intention, you can go to the different levels to the subtle parts of the body. You can experience that that awakening in the fourth state of consciousness. You It's a miracle remedy. I my invitation here that is a tool is a tool that can bring great things so tool that if we get tired of it and we do not have the right intention that just becomes one more technique that we're going to forget and we cannot follow. So we are going to go some process and I was thinking that to incorporate a little bit with one of my other passions. And this is all introduction and that is the slogans of training the mind. When I began a long time ago to be interested in Buddhism. I was very interested in bigger Luke's which is the Dalai Lama's they call it the intellectuals and the academics because I wanted to know the recipes fiber this and for that and three levels and in 12 years here and seven years there and I thought that were like little prescriptions that I really like and the one lord or master that began the Luke's was just on copper. And everybody that I studied with with just some copper was the person that was the one that introduced the most but I fell in love with a teacher and a teacher. It was a Bengali 10 century master that went through very it was a way to go to a holder of the training of the mind. And so they there the story is about his process and how many things two oceans you have to go to meet this master. When he came back, he began to teach the trainings of the mind some of the stories and then eventually he came as the invitation one of the kids in Tibet. He brought Buddhism to Tibet for the second time. One of the stories that I like about him is that when he went that way he didn't want to go to begin with. And he brought with him one of his students that he could not tolerate. He was the most unknowing person that was in his group. And people ask me from all your students, why are you going to bring that one? And his answer was because he was the one that challenged him the most. So he could remember how to react. So it was like he represent that these obstacles he he represented the triggers. And his mission was to begin to be able to train his mind to reach to that state that of enlightenment or at least the master of the mind. And another thing they they said that he used to do, he had two little bags one with black little stones I went with why. And if you notice that he had one of those thoughts that you catch yourself like I should have not done that. He immediately will come down from the horse and do a purification and just change the little stones from one side to the other to keep track of his mind process and I thought that was a pretty dedicated practice. That was a person that that somehow I related to his travels I related to his journey and I related to the slogans. He was two centuries after that, that they're written. And eventually we have the lawyer and now they're written to be 59 of those. And I think that anybody that has been in this path for a little bit may have studied this a couple of times. Then the first time that I read on my father was kind of simple and I honestly didn't get it much because I wanted to read it like a novel, like a book. But they I like I was talking to one other person in night club Dillon, I think they keep giving is one of those things that you really contemplate on them. They keep giving in they keep giving in layers and layers. I love to cook and I told her that is like good seasoning. And I think I've mentioned this before you don't see Sun your food all at the end. You see some while you cook and he gives you layers of sophistication of your taste. And I think this logins had that ability. The one that I'm going to recommend there is a PDF from Judy leaf in her website that is free. And I would be following that the writings that she had and she is fascinating. She was one of the students have chosen to buy Rinpoche and he has one of the books that she mentioned. So if you'd like to follow eventually alone and use the during this month before we talk about it again. I I invite you to do that. I know that some of you have maybe study this many times in different classes. So my vision with what we're going to be doing today is that when we get into that meditation after we talk a little bit about this now when we go into meditation in that state where we absorbed more, where we integrate more into the body, maybe which I just would say some of those phrases, phrases to you in do do with that whatever I do want to go to sleep and ignore me and maybe do it next time when we hear the recording. You do that. But maybe just wait not just listen to it and you just wait to whatever reaction you have in your body because whatever reaction you have in your body is the perfect one because it's your practice. And in that way, there is a conversation that we all have in about the same subject meditating at the same time entering the state at the same time, and I think this is very, very powerful. If he doesn't work with you let us know. Because we're here to just to grow together and practice together. So this is not coming from the top. This is just an invitation and talking of them the page invitation we cannot forget my poem from Shel Silverstein.
This remember, this is just an invitation. If you're a dreamer come in, if you're a dreamer and wisher a liar, a helper a prayer and magic beam buyer if you are a pretender come sit by my fire for we have some flex golden tales to spin come in and come in. And I love that point because really that's what we do here. We are just invited a little bit of magic and a lot of emotion because this is all illusion and we are allowing ourselves to relax into whatever. So we are not reaching out. We're relaxing and allowing we are allowing the manifestations. That's a word that I like lately see politicians. It's just the expression. And the expression now has nothing to do with expression here or expression here is just expression. And I suggest that when we are a little more to and that expression and can become just radiant and clear and joyful. So I like to add that little bit of playfulness into whatever we do because I think we have to relax and we also have to learn how to laugh. If we don't laugh in this path, we are doomed because it's hard. Because we begin to see things that sometimes we don't even want to see and there are memories that can come up. So let's close our eyes first without going into the complete yoga nidra now
just solely feeling the weight of the body if you're beginning to practice with your eyes open and your bar or not looking at the camera do that maybe you feel one leg heavier than the other one hip heavier than the other
the back is strong but not stiff. Shoulders flare to the size so the front is open. You can place the hands in any manner that you'd like if you want a mudra or just place your hands palms down are your thighs
the crown or the head moves up arms like you're being fooled by a string the eyes are closed or not tighter open
placing the tongue and your top palate behind that thought he sometimes in this short meditations I like adjust to float.
Just thinking about all the circumstances that brought here these group together and brought you here today
giving things the sense of gratefulness that we have the luxury or having this hour
you had experiences in the last few days or today of things that upset you and you just do not like and they don't just feel good. Just give him away. Just allow them to come out of your chest and your body is okay you don't have to push. You don't have to hide them. You're just letting them down
and then we're going to do a little bit of breathing exercise. So maybe just slowly coming back and opening your eyes if you recall how to close and then we're going to alternate nostrils so with the two index fingers these are different ways to do it. We're going to inhale to left and let her go through right. Inhale through right let her go to left. And there we're going to be doing this for about a minute. If you make a mistake, begin again. If it doesn't feel right, just close your eyes and try to have as as much of a full breath as you can. So first we're going to get two or three cleaning breaths. Inhale both nostrils. Exhale, both inhale both and then left, right, left right. Okay. Sounds good. So take any hail to brought through both exhale to your nose
inhale exhale
inhale and exhale. covered your right nostril we do index finger inhale left
cover the left inhale or exhale, right Inhale right exhale left
inhale left exhale right
right. Exhale and we're going to count to eight inhale 12345678 Hold. Exhale, right 2345678 inhale re
eight, exhale left.
Eight, do three more of those on your own to whatever account feels right. I'd see some people using it with a thumb and the ring finger which is another way to do it. So you inhale left
exhale right
you've heard Dawn before me just close your eyes and you'll notice
sometimes we feel tingling sensations, maybe just we feel a little more evenness in the breath
so open the eyes and then in the first meditation class that I facilitated. I told a story of Pema children telling this story about her teacher. She'll give talk about when he was about 10 to 12 years old and I'm going to tell the story again if you have heard this story before. Just notice the moment at the end. He he will see his main teacher in the summers and he will have to travel a few hours to go to that monastery. In the Cheetos. The story that when he was 10 or 12 years old, he was called by his master by his schoolroom to go to his room. And I imagined this little monk in his monk robes just running going to see his teacher with the excitement of receiving something special from the teacher. When he goes up. The teacher is sitting in the chair looking outside up to a window and all of a sudden and looks at him and he's just waiting for something to happen and he's holding a piece of metal and he was a shiny piece of metal. And he looks at him and says Do you know what this is? And I imagine just me being this is Oh my gosh the teacher is asking me a question. I better know the answer. So he's trying to figure out the answer. So this is all editing from my right now that's not what she says. But I imagine the moment of a child looking at a piece of metal and saying what is this? And he says he knew that he was it was metal because he had seen metal. He knew that he was shining and he was a certain length, but he didn't know what he was. And finally his guru says when you go to the west, people use this to eat their food and put it in their mouth to pinch the foot and put it in the mouth. And when I saw the first time I heard the story when I saw a fork i It was almost like in slow motion a piece of metal became fork. And this 12 year old didn't know what a fork was that was not in his concept that was not part of the concepts that he could have learned. And then the story comes about for what Pema was trying to teach. And it was that when you go to the West that people out there prefer to be sleep rather than awake. But the moment in the transformation when you're looking into a book when you're reading a novel, when you see that concept that is being created. In this case, if you close your eyes or maybe you're lacking a need right you can feel the moment that metal becomes work in maybe you can rewind that to just be metal. But we are now what will nones once we have the knowledge of what a fork is. We are always going to eventually see a fork because that is the imprint that we have in our minds. And in a way when we do a lot of these practices where we are breaking is that solidity of being one thing. When we do generation practice, that's what we're breaking at the solidity of who we are. And he goes step by step because he's breaking away the sense that we're this solid and this hard in that we are always going to be here. So sometimes in daily life we can feel and sense those concepts when they come about and just slam us and we are already there because we lost the big picture. And then in the second class we talk a little bit about the contemplation about creme brulee and and I'm not going to go to the criminalist story, the whole story but it was the sophistication that comes from practice. When you have the same ingredients of milk, sugar and eggs in just heat, and depending on the level of expertise, or where the produce may come from, if you learn to to taste it, you can taste heaven in just put your mouth because it's something that we can create. We don't create. We just learn how to do it and we learn it with practice. And then the third one we talk about playdough you see my teeth. My conversations are deep but the playdough it was about the samskaras really the imprints that we have with each part experience that we have every sound, every taste, every thought, every movement, every memory is just part of a play though. In once the imprint is in the play, though you may not see it but that is always there. So when we accumulate merit, we're trying to put those good imprints there. So what we see is more like a pure learn is that samsara so though in it, all of those little stories are not complete by themselves, but he was just a weight so we can maybe when we slow down for that kind of perception, because when we talk about the stream of consciousness of what goes from one life to the other, what is the tendencies that we have that bring us from one experience to the other? They give us those big terms, but yeah, well how do we create those samskaras How can we get rid of those samskaras How can we see heaven here? Right now like they told me that we can and we do it with the way that we open up to begin to open our hearts and begin to see with different kinds of eyes. And today I was looking to just before we say something else when the remember when the bridge went down in Pennsylvania, that was such a big disaster. It was in the news and everything was almost like in slow motion and you wonder how how we could happen and I immediately just thought is Oh my goodness. I'm sorry for the people that really died, but it could have been such a much bigger disaster. And I was listening to the news and was it was a former commander, a marine at an admiral. And they asked him that question and he says Do you know you saw this and look at the video again and is the same head in the bridge and everything is coming down? And he says what I saw was training. How good of a training the people that were in charge and that moment. What had that they could in a few seconds. react in a way where the loss of life was minimal. In when you're that well trained, is like Time stops. I said oh my gosh, you're talking to me. When we are in a yoga nidra when we are in a good meditation when we listen to our teacher when we are in love with somebody when we dance freely when we laugh with a good friend like we haven't seen it in a year and we it's like we saw him yesterday time stops
and I think that's the space that we're looking for
there was a t shirt that we used to call them on my router that i A few years ago of cancer and this says you know when we itch, we think that we want to scratch in we scratch, but what we want is to stop eating
so we study we practice we study we practice or time stops and we start teaching Does that make sense? Any comments in fact, I don't know if you guys are listened to Jeffrey last night, another wonderful class from him. And he was talking about how the highest station was just to rest. And when you get to rest you stop fishing because there's that opening that opens that let me see what so we are going to who How many of you have done many yoga nidra before and have taken trainings. Good. So the good thing about yoga nidra that is certainly a sense of opening up in fact yoga nidra can be sitting. It can be laying down that's where we feel most. If you're going to eventually lay down just fine. I find that a recliner is wonderful because you don't fall completely sleep and you have like a little bit of less gravity so it's almost like you're floating in the pool or something if you have a good one so that would be good. Sometimes you get cold so it would be nice to cover yourself. If you have something under your head mature that is not like looking up or looking down. So just a little bit of inclination. And then this instructions are going to come slowly in and we're going to go through levels of yoga nidra and you can begin to think about a little bit of intention if you want. I saw a few comments Alyssa but I didn't know whether it was something special that I should answered. I didn't see.
Oh, they were just people saying that they actually hadn't done any yoga nidra Oh, okay,
good. So let's begin to take a little slower. So yoga nidra it because it's mostly from a Hindu perspective. And there were schools maybe in the 40s and 60s. Andrew in his interviews has two or three that are related to yoga nidra and there's the it is a profound relaxation. They call it they call it a yogic sleep. Because he goes through different levels of the brain waves that we we tend to begin to relax and relax. And we're going to go into a level where it's in between the body seems to be sleeping, but you are really aware of what happened in fact in the last one that I did with you guys I had the aura ring and it put me there I was sleeping for 22 minutes. I was leading the class for you. So it's just like the body kind of begins to relax and shuts down. You cannot just watch that. It's a process of kind of unwinding. It is used for it because it's in that stage of relaxation. Intention. They're sort of their data regarding healing is being used in the military by the with the eye rest that was one of the most popular one and they sexualized her a lot so there's not a religion involved but it's a deep relaxation. People that and we will not do that work with trauma they have used it with trauma to to release to the person because if you go to the layers of awake, dreaming, deep sleep in and then you get into that substrate that we talked about in other classes from there. There's things that we have suppressed with time, or we have suppressed because we didn't want to feel or anger that we have not felt completely or something that happened to us when we were a child or some fear that we have to speak in public things that are hiding in there. Or you can have us also good thing is the the hunger to connect to a teaching or to a teacher or to find your purpose. So a change of vision in your life. And all those things are going through in that part of the body. So it is your own practice. Sometime sometimes for people that have done it, many, many times they can relax so much they can feel energies racing they can feel like the body body can have a spontaneous movement. They can feel great blessed they can order or sometimes in the first class. I think it was Michelle throw pressure on her chest because there was energy that got a little bit stuck in there. But I think after all that, I think the best way is just to try to do it. There's no way to do it wrong. Well there's one way to do it round trying to get somewhere like just talking yourself yourself under doing it right I would never get this one. Just relax because it's almost like fallen asleep but I would keep talking to keep you in between like you're fluttering in a liminal state. Sometimes we get to seal them and all stays like when we see before we're going to fall asleep. And they kind of stay there. So if you have those just see them when they come and they feel when they go. But in a way there is no way to do it wrong. Does that meeting is being recorded. Oh my sorry. Let me turn off this computer. No, I cannot do it. Verbally. Okay, so take your pose
just again, check in
feeling the weight of your body
and as soon as things get a little quiet maybe sometimes we notice our mind process a lot of fast
so filling your seat if you're sitting in the back of the body the weight of the head
the muscles of your face
your neck front and back
your left arm your right arm
your back from your neck to your sacrum
your front from your collarbone to your hips
the left leg
the right leg
and just briefly without making any changes noticing your breath maybe you feel it around your tummy or chest, your nose
but imagine that you can just witness the breath like when you are looking at somebody a loved one that is sleeping
there is a sense of tenderness
gentle
if you're not around your heart area coming into your heart area
maybe there there is dimer like bright point of light
pulsating with the rhythm of life
you stay there for a few seconds right tiny point of light
and now let's set an intention for the practice
if you'd like to use the I am if you have commitments or vows that you'd like to repeat it for your intention, that would be a good thing
it could be for clarity for healing, specific healing for peace once you settle into your intention repeat it to yourself slowly three times.
Now allowance you're placing your attention in the different parts of the body almost like a little feather touching a bubble. You don't have to do much as soon as you hear that part of the body your mind will go there
we begin with the right thumb. Relax and let it go. The index finger right middle finger, ring finger right middle finger open the palm or the right hand the top or the right hand the wrist the lower arm. The elbow. Upper arm right shoulder the front of the right shoulder
underneath your right arm
the right side of your waist the spaces between your ribs
right here
right thigh
right knee
right lower leg the ankle
the right heel which is point of light
the top of your right foot this soul
right big finger toe sorry right big toe. second toe. Metal for letter one.
The right leg completely from the head to your toes
the right side of your body and the right arm. Open and relax
the left bone index finger middle finger ring finger middle finger the top of the left hand the palm
left wrist. left lower arm
elbow. Upper arm their front of them left shoulder
the left side of your waist
this basis between your ribs
your left hip
left thigh knee lower leg left ankle
left heel open. The point of like the top of your left foot the soul the big toe Second. Third, fourth motor toe
your left leg
open the left side of your body let go the left arm
both legs together
both arms together
your torso front and back. Open. Letting go and relax.
The area between your brow
your forehead
the inner and outer corners of your eyes
the back of your eyes
the back of your nose
this size of your tone
the back of your tongue
tracing your jaw from the area of the ear allowing the lower jaw to drop and motivate.
Now I've seen any sensations that may come up
knowing that they're just expressions you don't have to follow them. You don't have to do anything. You just see them calm and go.
Some of the preliminaries of this slogan and so the first one is that we have to recognize the preciousness of this human life
we're here right now
we feel secure and we have comfort
we have the technology that allows us to come in contact with this precious teachings
and we also know that things do not last
and we do not know when things are going to change and when we're going to pass.
Where we open our hearts to know and we open our hearts to study so we're aware.
And when we're not aware and we don't realize it that live changes and that things are not permanent. Then we suffered and others suffer
we also know that there's a path
and he may begin just knowing and training the mind
relax in the back of the body even more
If you feel like you're drifting into sleep, see if you can just remain in that little space before you go. Just maybe listening is fun now. If you feel like parts of the body have gotten more tense just bring your attention they're gentle
let it go.
Coming to the center of the center of the center of your head
almost like you're looking to a staring night. Open space now left and right no off and no down
the energy comes down to your throat to another point of light
notice any sensations that you can feel there
and then energy flows now towards the heart and to a point of light.
Maybe you feel sensations maybe you notice her heartbeat. Maybe you noticed her breath
and now from there we're going to pretend that we can breathe from that point of light and we inhale from everywhere in the universe towards the heart and when we exhale goes from the heart going out everywhere buy great stuff light
and we Hail peace and we exhale
inhaling peace and exhaling it that feels right to you do this for a little bit more if not is use your own words.
Now just remember during tension if you like repeated three more times to yourself
bringing the attention to the area and the room where you're sitting or laying down
the area about four feet from your body
to feed from your body to your skin muscles bones, nerves, your organs your heart as we take inhale through the nose and this time let it go through your mouth to more like that
slowly if you'd like to turn into your right side and be there for a couple of more breath
checking in and see how you feel
sometimes we can notice whether there is not a side of our nose that is a little bit more open than the other check that if they are kind of even you were very centered and then we meet in the front
so I was really concentrating and I forgot one on my for preliminary for just to talk a little bit again and now they're preliminaries even meditation one of the things that they they don't say frequently is that any kind of meditation we have to bring in with the right kind of ethics, because if we don't have the right efforts, then we will not have peace. So if you cheated somebody today, if you hurt somebody today, if you stole some money today, if you had a big fight with a loved one or with a co worker, you don't have the peace in your heart to be able to sit down and meditate. And also the preliminaries they say that are more important than the rest of the teaching is like remember the Karate Kid movie where they wanted to learn the tricks and the first thing that the teacher was just do know how to do with the painting of the friends because you first have to know the basic thing in order for you to then do the other, more sophisticated. So the preliminaries are fundamental. And I think if we get the preliminaries we get, we may get it at all, where we they're so deep that we have to keep going. So the first one is appreciate this. We were just the preciousness of this opportunity. How many people are in wards how many people not having something to eat, how many people that really do not have the conditions that we have, and we are spoiled in many ways. We do not we sometimes we forget. So when we come to the cushion when we come to yoga nidra when we come to the tissue, I'm sure that at least like when why connect to zoom. I'm just going forward to Merson, to be able to connect in in that sense. We're very fortunate. So the second one, of course, is that and that we don't know when it's coming on how it's coming. So it's completely we cannot predict in many of us are in this PDP program regarding that and the Bardot's because I think that the happier people know how to connect to that stages of life. And I think the one of the most important things that we learn in the process of that is that that happens every every, every time I mean no one moment comes when moment goes. One period of our life comes when period of our life goes when you know the child grows and we think that are the same but we know when we see other pictures, they are not the same. When I look at my picture that I had to choose for this thing to this day. Oh my god, what happened? Where have I been? I remember my mom saying my rages that I don't understand. One day you walk by a store and look at the mirror, who is the person? So many of us die the whole time but that's so we come to peace with that before they did great passage and the third one that I didn't mentioned before is karma. We learned how to relate that every action has a consequence and a reaction. And it's not like karma is lineal that if I do this, it's going to be that the way that I learned karma if you go into a circle and I go here, this point spins and that point spins and this spins in distance. So if a lot of spinning have moments that we don't understand, so we don't see the linear sometimes, because there are so many ramifications to everything that we do. We begin to have respect in that way begin to we begin to act differently. And that's where we care about this moment. That's where we listen. With respect. That's where we try to change the view. That's where we're trying to live, learn joy and patience, and generosity, because we we like to get to that wisdom where we know that everything that we do matters. And that is that is the good news. That everything that you do matters and that is within us and we have that ability and that opportunity with everything that we do. And of course it's the truth of suffering and suffering happens no matter what you know, it's like I remember going to places where there the plastics over the sofa or the plastic in the lamp or not use the living room because it will get dirty. So we begin with things like that, because that comes from a poverty mentality. And we think that we can stop time, but time doesn't stop. And that's the way that we connect. So questions, comments, we would go into the first login after the preliminary so I invite you to think about that a little bit. And to read it over and over and over again. If that is what you'd like, for me, it's like I said they keep giving because I realize my patterns when I because I talk about death like I know what I'm talking about. But really, I still think I'm going to last a lot longer than I may because there's our tendency that's what we've been taught. So comments, questions, things that bit feel good and things that thank you for letting me know. Thank you thinks that Phil right and maybe did not feel right. Sometimes those are even more important
were you able to rest
there were some comments in the chat that some people said they yawn a lot.
Oh good.
Very deep and nice practice and a lot of people saying thank
you. Okay, so the yawning is part of the nervous system. So that was a reset. In fact that happens also in the in classes. So when I took their trainees if your students aren't yawning that means that you're doing it right because it's a parasympathetic parasympathetic system can level off and that is the reaction of opening still, actually is a lot of yawning is very good. And if you were to stay a little bit longer, you could have drifted probably to sleep. Any images that came have come to ideas you don't have to tell me what they are but sometimes they're like flashes
somebody said clouds. Oh, clouds good.
Yes. In the last one we did contrast of images. Today was a little bit different because we were talking more really hard because we're going to go into the slogans but even when I say an image, for example, if I say left thumb, you cannot avoid your foot go to the left arm because you're thinking about the left arm and when you're here, we did this before you're not thinking about your right foot. I say right foot in your mind travels right foot, the back of your head, the back of your head. And then when we slow time, we see that process of thinking and yoga nidra allows you when you're there like you saw the clouds you're the sun in your blank and then this clouds or do is a thought or there is an idea. And that's what sometimes is used also for creative processes, or to practice something that you want to practice.
