Hello, and
Unknown:welcome to the Borealis experience. I’m your host
Unknown:Aurora. I’m very happy to be spending some time with you
Unknown:today. Thank you so much for being here. I hope the COVID
Unknown:situation is not bugging you too much. I hope you don’t feel too
Unknown:lonely. I hope you got things to do. I hope you got friends to
Unknown:talk to a warm place to stay. And a warm, hard to live from. I
Unknown:live in Canada and the Rocky Mountains, it’s very, very cold
Unknown:here. And for the last two days, I didn’t have water in my house.
Unknown:Today it came back because the temperatures were at minus two
Unknown:degrees again, instead of minus 30. And I must say I feel like a
Unknown:million bucks right now. I was able to take a shower, I don’t
Unknown:have to worry about going to the bathroom, I was able to do a
Unknown:laundry. And then I took a chance to paint my fingernails.
Unknown:And I don’t have to calculate how much water I want to drink
Unknown:during the day.
Unknown:So
Unknown:a huge stress has been lifted from my shoulders. And
Unknown:yesterday, I was pretty interesting to observe my mind
Unknown:because I caught my monkey mind being that
Unknown:judgmental aggressive bitch again. But now I learned to not
Unknown:let my monkey mind a rule my life. For example, I was going
Unknown:for groceries.
Unknown:And
Unknown:I don’t know every person that was kind of there, minding her
Unknown:or his business triggered me and I had like thoughts of Yeah,
Unknown:swearing thoughts in my brain because I was in so much
Unknown:distress with no water situation. And I just had a bad
Unknown:day because I had to think and feel a lot about my friend who
Unknown:had passed away around this time of year, a couple years back. So
Unknown:I was just in a very dark place. And sometimes when we are in
Unknown:those places, we take it out on others and it is not our core.
Unknown:It is not our intention, it is not our nature that is being
Unknown:that judgmental, harsh bitch in that moment. It is our ego. I
Unknown:call it the monkey mind because I just like that word so much.
Unknown:It is your ego that is wounded that is heard that feels
Unknown:triggered and that reacts to stimulus from the outside. And
Unknown:when you observe your monkey mind, you can very quickly
Unknown:distinguish between your true soul message that you want to
Unknown:put out there in the world. And your ego talking. Your ego is
Unknown:usually very judgmental,
Unknown:jealous,
Unknown:very negative and fear driven. The fear is what drives the ego
Unknown:and on the same. Like on the other side at the same time I
Unknown:want to say it wants to to be protected from further pain that
Unknown:happened in the past. So it’s not a bad thing the ego like you
Unknown:can live in total ego. Like with dissolved ego, you always have
Unknown:your ego close by and it’s good if it’s a healthy confidence if
Unknown:it’s healthy pride. But as soon as it becomes too competitive,
Unknown:and as soon as you keep comparing yourself to others,
Unknown:then you can be sure your ego is at play. And meditation helps
Unknown:you to observe that ego. When you sit down at night or in the
Unknown:morning or whenever you wish to. You observe your thoughts you
Unknown:observe how you reacted in certain situations during your
Unknown:day. And then while you sit there you can do distinguish was
Unknown:I operating from my heart space or from my ego, from my mind,
Unknown:from my ego, monkey mind, space. And then while you observe it,
Unknown:you can distinguish. And then in the future, you can correct it,
Unknown:change it adapted. So whatever we observe whatever we reveal,
Unknown:whatever we bring to light out of the darkness, we can observe
Unknown:in the future and correct. And this is such a beautiful thing
Unknown:to realize, because you don’t have to be that victim, you
Unknown:don’t have to be that aggressive person, you don’t have to be
Unknown:that jealous, insecure person, you can go behind the reason and
Unknown:let go of it and observe yourself, every time you fall
Unknown:back into that trigger every time you feel the need to have a
Unknown:strong opinion, that is separating people instead of
Unknown:bringing them together, when you have a judgement about someone.
Unknown:And it is just because of your past experience, it has nothing
Unknown:to do with them, then you can reach back and come back to your
Unknown:true self. And know that that little voice that was guiding
Unknown:you for so long, can be pushed aside. It can be silenced, you
Unknown:can turn the volume down, like you do with your radio, when
Unknown:you’re driving in your car, or wherever you listen to music. So
Unknown:your ego can be very annoying. It can annoy you. Like if you
Unknown:know eka tala is a spiritual leader that I really look up to
Unknown:because he was really a couple hours. Before his suicide, he
Unknown:was like, so done with life. He hated everything, he couldn’t
Unknown:get out of his sadness. And he was so ready to commit suicide.
Unknown:And then he suddenly heard his voice say, heard him say, I
Unknown:don’t want to live with myself anymore. And in that moment, and
Unknown:for every person that is different, you don’t have to be
Unknown:just before suicide. But for him, it was like, Wait a second,
Unknown:like, who just said that? I don’t want to live with myself
Unknown:anymore? Well, I don’t, I don’t have to be that person anymore.
Unknown:So he realized that he’s not his thoughts. He’s not his monkey
Unknown:mind. He’s not as ego. That thing can be like a broken
Unknown:record. And so repetitive and your thoughts are always around
Unknown:the same subjects. And when you relate to people, it’s always
Unknown:the same way. While you can break out of it, you can make
Unknown:changes, and you can be the most powerful version of yourself.
Unknown:Once you recognize that you are not your thoughts, your thoughts
Unknown:Is there like a sense, they’re like a sense because whatever
Unknown:happens outside of you, you have an opinion, you have a judgment,
Unknown:you are being reminded to your past. And then you have these
Unknown:thoughts.
Unknown:And these thoughts, in turn, stimulate emotions, all the
Unknown:emotions come up when you have that certain thought. And then
Unknown:you have that feeling in your body. And you don’t like that
Unknown:feeling in your body. And then you engage in that habit that
Unknown:you have to make you feel better. Do you see that vicious
Unknown:cycle when we follow our thoughts too much? When you let
Unknown:the monkey mind, rule your world instead of your heart. And now
Unknown:you can ask, well what is acting from the heart space? How can I
Unknown:go back to that? First step is to observe your thoughts. And
Unknown:especially in situations where you feel strong emotions coming
Unknown:up. Of course, if you’re encountering the saber toothed
Unknown:tiger, an extreme fear of survival is being triggered.
Unknown:Then you have the uncomfortable emotions and an uncomfortable
Unknown:feeling in your body and you have to react. But chances are
Unknown:you are living in a city or in the countryside and you’re
Unknown:pretty safe and you have everything you need water, food,
Unknown:shelter, friends. And there’s situations that bring that
Unknown:feeling out and out inside of you. But only because it’s an
Unknown:old wound that hasn’t healed yet. It can be an old memory
Unknown:that makes you feel shitty about yourself. And it still makes you
Unknown:mad. And it brings these thoughts up these emotions as
Unknown:physical sensation. And then you have to engage in that stupid
Unknown:habit again, that makes you feel better. Now, next time you feel
Unknown:triggered, or you feel your monkey mind is ruling, wait, and
Unknown:count until three until five, maybe until 10. And see what
Unknown:happens. Because what the ego thinks that ego things, it can
Unknown:control everything, it can prevent everything. But that
Unknown:deer Love is not possible. If you go into the life, thinking
Unknown:that you can control anything, you are in a very weak spot,
Unknown:because I’d rather you be going out there and thinking that
Unknown:everything is a coincidence, or everything can change in a
Unknown:second, and nothing is predictable. Because then you
Unknown:can enjoy the moments that last for a little longer. If you
Unknown:think that there’s no change and changes are preventable, then
Unknown:you make yourself a very hard life. So observe your thoughts
Unknown:and see how you want to react in certain situations, what you
Unknown:want to say, Is it really necessary? Or can you be kind,
Unknown:can you be compassionate, instead of reacting quickly. And
Unknown:I don’t mean with others first, I mean, with your firm with
Unknown:yourself first. And when you can be compassionate with yourself
Unknown:and see, hey, okay, I feel triggered. Now, I want to react
Unknown:so strongly, because I don’t like that situation. And you can
Unknown:remember why you feel so triggered and make peace with
Unknown:that thing that annoys you so much. And don’t let it suck more
Unknown:energy out of you the necessary, then you can move on. And next
Unknown:time, you might only have to count until two. And then you
Unknown:know, our shit. I feel triggered again, by us trying to rule
Unknown:again. Let’s wait a second and see if we can approach this
Unknown:situation in a more healthy way. I will talk way more about that
Unknown:topic because I’m super passionate about it. And that’s
Unknown:one of the things that helped me the most to sit with my thoughts
Unknown:and to observe my thoughts during the day and tend to
Unknown:readjust. For now. I think it’s enough. I don’t want to
Unknown:overwhelm you. You were listening to the Borealis
Unknown:experience. I’m your host Aurora. And I would love you to
Unknown:join me on instagram because I’d love to know what your thoughts
Unknown:are on this and you can have a peek into my life. I share lots
Unknown:about my dog and my my chickens and my farm life out here. And
Unknown:yeah, be lovely to connect. Thank you so much. Bye bye
