- [Rehl Clarke, Yoga Instructor] - Hi, guys. We are gonna take the next couple of minutes through our guided meditation to find more balance in our life, to connect better with God. Let's get into it. I want you to find yourself in a very comfortable seated position. I am sitting on a small pillow. You can sit wherever you would like that's going to bring comfort to your low back and your hips. We're gonna start by keeping our eyes closed, our shoulders are gonna be drawn down, our spine is long, and our hips are squared. Hands can be placed down onto our knees for grounding. If you want to feel more enlightened, keeping our palms facing up. We're gonna start by breathing in through our nose, holding at the top for three breaths, and exhaling through our nose for three breaths. Then, we're gonna repeat that, doing it a couple of times until you find your own rhythm. Inhaling through our nose, holding at the top for three, two, one, exhaling through our nose, three, two one. Holding that breath for three, two, one. And repeat. Inhaling. Holding at the top. Exhale. And hold. Inhale. Hold at the top. Exhale. And hold. Doing this a couple of times, finding your own rhythm. Being very aware in your breathing, finding this balanced breathing that is gonna help us through the rest of our practice today. A couple more times here, as we feel more balanced with ourself. Sitting up tall and straight, I want you to imagine you're walking on a super thin piece of string and you are trying to get to the other side of a hill or a mountain and there's a super far gap in between. And you have a long stick with two bags on each end of the stick. I want you to pick the two things in your life that help you feel the most balanced, whether that is God, a friend, music, nature. The number two things that you have, placing them inside of our bag and we're walking along this thin piece of string. As we walk along, we feel confident and strong that we aren't going to fall, the breeze isn't going to let us sway left to right, but rather that we're going to walk in a straight line all the way to the other side. As we make it to the other side, I want you to take those two things out of the bag that helped you stay balanced. I want you to embody those two things as we inhale, holding them deep to our soul and our spirit. Thinking of ways that you can embody that sense of balance more in our everyday life. Holding a friend and God close to us can help us feel more balanced, music, nature. We each individually have things that help us feel more centered in our life, bringing us peace and happiness, helping us overcome hard challenges that we may face. Inhaling through our nose one last time, exhaling everything through our mouth. Taking our eyes and opening them, you're gonna inhale, rolling our shoulders up and back and exhale. Bring our hands close together near our heart. Thank you so much for practicing with me today and finding better balance. Namaste.
