12:35:14 I'm a school teacher as well as a Yoga meditation teacher, so feel free to connect with me.
12:35:21 If there's any other questions I've had people connect with me for research that they do in school I've also got my master's degrees, so Jennifer brought it.
12:35:30 Tdsb. Or Jenny Yogi
12:35:35 And then, yes, January is unfolding, you know.
12:35:38 It's a time of resetting, maybe beginning a new.
12:35:41 You might be continuing some things or letting some things go so we'll be exploring those and maybe you're praying your health and well-being studies, work relationships.
12:35:53 So maybe spending time with this meditation will also help guide you as you prioritize, and maybe in just noticing our time together, what might be supportive for you, and also with some resources so I've got some resources.
12:36:07 I wanted to share with you, just to remind you. And these are all on my website.
12:36:11 On Genb. Yogi. So if you go to the website
12:36:16 Sit here. Yeah. So if you go to the website here, you can see all the different offerings.
12:36:21 So we're in it together. You're not alone, and the fun thing that I wanted to tell you I'm doing puppy yoga nowadays.
12:36:27 So if you want joy, it's a great company. You have all these different puppies.
12:36:32 There's not a lot of yoga, and not a lot of meditation and pranayama.
12:36:35 But that's okay. There's a lot of joy.
12:36:36 So, and here is our oy. So if you press this button here, you'll come to these resources.
12:36:43 So I try to update it with that from Ozzy as well as irres meditation, which is my most sort of what I follow in life.
12:36:52 In my training and other places that you can join in as well.
12:36:57 So that's all there on the website. Let's see.
12:37:01 Let's come back here and Yup jabber mind app. I was telling people like, did anybody ever get to access it?
12:37:09 I use it as well. It's made for educators.
12:37:12 They made it during the pandemic. So there's lots of different meditations to guide you so whenever I go to a new school, because I'm a subteacher, I'm always listening to these things to kind of set me up for the day, and then here's some more resources so a lot of the things that
12:37:26 I teach are based on. I rest so. His book, which is a great resource.
12:37:34 They've got lots of free recordings and live sessions as well.
12:37:37 And I'm taking this non-dual, year-long course as well.
12:37:40 So if any anybody's interested in any of that information they can reach out to me
12:37:45 And again, this is the sort of the Newsletter, or the article that we were using for our studies.
12:37:53 And we've been connecting about the Kanjukas, or pointers, or messengers.
12:37:58 So there's 5 messengers, and if you kind of reflect in life, this was actually one of my assignments was to reflect in life and feel the contractedness in life and the limitedness in life, as well as the spaciousness and wholeness so a lot of the different
12:38:12 things that we might be feeling in life for me. It's really time, limited, and timelessness are my big ones that I notice in life.
12:38:20 When I'm feeling stressed. So yeah, these are things that we were working on last year and feeling into them. So we're gonna do that again during our meditation to see if you know feeling into them and noticing them will bring you back to that wholeness that you already are
12:38:40 Oopsies.
12:38:44 Oh, my goodness, so let me go back. Okay.
12:38:51 Alright! We've made it so we'll go into a guided meditation, I think, cause I think most of you have joined me before.
12:39:00 Welcome to everybody again, who's coming in now we're gonna move into our Irs guided meditation and just inviting those different messengers.
12:39:07 We were just talking about, and if anything else comes up, that's all.
12:39:10 Welcomed, as well so, and feel free to adjust as you need to the invitation during the week is to see if any of these these messengers arrive.
12:39:20 And just if you're able to hold space for them and notice them in a way to point you back to that wholeness, that you already are right especially when you're feeling stressed as it's January and everything starting again.
12:39:31 So, so, yeah, is there any questions before we begin? Pretty good.
12:39:37 Okay. So maybe we'll just begin. So wherever you are at home or here he gets to start to settle in
12:39:47 Feeling free to modify, just as you need to
12:39:53 I'm just opening your senses into these spaces and surfaces
12:40:00 Eyes are open or closed.
12:40:08 Maybe just leaving any residues of the day behind
12:40:15 You might even visualize placing them in a box, or gently laying them down
12:40:23 Just recognize that you can come back to them later.
12:40:28 Maybe even feeling more refreshed and ready
12:40:40 So welcoming the caressive air on the skin
12:40:51 And even if there's sounds coming in or from outside of the room, not needing to attach or detach
12:41:05 Noticing how they arise and dissolve all in their own time.
12:41:14 Maybe feeling into the surfaces supporting you.
12:41:20 Any residues of taste.
12:41:27 The body, feeling free to make any adjustments at all.
12:41:30 During this practice to welcome calm and ease hurt the body in mind
12:41:44 During this Iris meditation. Might you welcome everyone as a messenger, a pointer
12:41:50 Nothing turned away.
12:41:59 If you detect anything, your perception, any sounds
12:42:03 Just noticing, without attaching or detaching.
12:42:09 Nothing to fix or change, just
12:42:15 Noticing, as they expand and dissolve in their own time.
12:42:24 As you're ready, might you feel into your heartfelt desire
12:42:28 Your heart's deepest desire or longing
12:42:37 Purpose for this lifetime
12:42:43 You're why in the world
12:42:52 Experience and affirm this felt sense of this heartfelt desire is already true.
12:42:59 In this very moment.
12:43:10 And then letting it go, and just noticing how it might appear during this practice or daily life.
12:43:24 Recall an intention.
12:43:28 A why, for this moment, for this practice
12:43:40 One that might support you in fulfilling this heartfelt desire
12:43:50 Perhaps it's to just be, and every moment of life
12:44:00 Again, if sounds or anything comes into your perception, just notice
12:44:11 Everything just as it is
12:44:19 Experience, your inner resource.
12:44:24 A safe haven refuge
12:44:32 Helping you feel secure and safe.
12:44:38 Common at ease.
12:44:45 Ready at a moment's notice.
12:44:55 Perhaps connecting through imagery.
12:45:02 Place, in nature
12:45:07 Memory.
12:45:13 Just noticing things unfold and expand and dissipate in their own time
12:45:26 Enlivening this imagery with your 5 senses.
12:45:37 Perhaps there's words that bring you to this inner resource.
12:45:42 Serenity.
12:45:45 Joy.
12:45:50 Inner piece.
12:45:57 Words, bringing Calls.
12:46:02 This wholeness of being
12:46:09 And a felt sense
12:46:16 Maybe, and emanating from the heart
12:46:23 Perhaps a release in the muscles, the jaw
12:46:29 Shoulders.
12:46:36 A deep breath in the entire body.
12:46:47 Recognizing and affirming that you can return to this inner resource at any time
12:46:58 Daily life.
12:47:01 Or during this iris practice
12:47:09 Whenever you feel the need for being secure.
12:47:16 And at ease.
12:47:24 Inviting my words to be your words.
12:47:30 Attention floating through the body
12:47:39 Without thinking.
12:47:44 Feeling, the way
12:47:51 Nothing to fix or change.
12:47:57 Even his perception comes in just noticing
12:48:02 Arising, anticipating in its own time
12:48:10 As you're ready. Attention. Feeling into the jaw
12:48:17 No.
12:48:21 Knows.
12:48:25 Dissolving to the ears
12:48:31 Eyes.
12:48:36 The space between the eyebrows
12:48:43 Forehead.
12:48:49 Scalp.
12:48:53 Back of the head
12:48:58 Entire face and head as sensation.
12:49:11 Floating down the arms
12:49:16 Columns and fingers
12:49:25 Taking your time.
12:49:31 Sensing along the torsoing pelvis
12:49:39 The entire upper body as sensation.
12:49:49 Floating down each leg.
12:49:53 Sol of the feet and toes
12:50:02 The entire bottom part of the body has sensation.
12:50:12 Just trusting the direct experience
12:50:22 Not needing to analyze or judge.
12:50:28 And just noticing, as it dissipates in its own time.
12:50:37 Sealing into the entire body and head.
12:50:44 Interweaving the felt sense of the inner resource of calm and well being
12:50:56 Attention resting on the body, breathing itself
12:51:06 Sensing the fullness of the bodies, the breath floats in
12:51:15 Emptyings. The breath floats out
12:51:24 Changing sensations, revealing something unchanging.
12:51:31 Illness, of being
12:51:41 As you're ready, might you wander through emotions, thoughts.
12:51:51 Beliefs.
12:51:54 Memories.
12:51:58 Anything wanting your attention at this moment
12:52:07 Something visiting and wanting to be recognized, maybe as a pointer
12:52:21 Whatever that is for you today
12:52:25 Without even needing to label it
12:52:33 What's gently calling for your attention
12:52:43 And feeling it in the body
12:52:48 As you invite this messenger
12:52:52 Where do you feel that in the body
12:53:00 Maybe interweaving in a resource of unchanging okayness and ease.
12:53:15 And if it feels okay, my, you invite an opposite
12:53:22 Feeling your way.
12:53:27 And if there's nothing, this 2 is your perfect experience.
12:53:38 At your own pace, maybe going back and forth between one opposite and the other.
12:53:49 Feeling, one
12:53:55 And then feeling the other
12:54:06 And interweaving the inner resource of unchanging okayness.
12:54:13 Back and forth.
12:54:21 When you're ready
12:54:24 Might you stay with the one that brings the most ease and peace?
12:54:29 At this moment
12:54:37 Feel in your way
12:54:44 Changing sensations, revealing something unchanging.
12:54:49 Which you also are
12:54:53 Containing everyone and everything.
12:55:00 Perfect and whole.
12:55:03 Just take a moment to notice uncaused joy, maybe arising from the heart
12:55:10 Not needing anything.
12:55:17 I'm just noticing how joy, too, arises and dissipates back to where it came from.
12:55:25 Unchanging awareness, homeless of being
12:55:38 Imagine going about your everyday life
12:55:43 Awareness awake and aware of itself.
12:55:52 Since an affirm how in each moment you always know the perfect and precise response to each situation in life.
12:56:09 I'm just taking all the time you need
12:56:16 As you transition back into waking life.
12:56:21 Just welcoming back the spaces and surfaces.
12:56:26 Everything supporting you.
12:56:31 Press some air on the skin.
12:56:37 Any sounds inside or outside of the room.
12:56:47 At your own pace, the opening and closing the eye several times, integrating this experience, and the felt sense of your inner resource is being and well being
12:57:01 This wholeness of being that supports you in every action and interaction throughout your day.
12:57:10 I'm coming back fully to eyes wide awake, maybe fingers and toes wiggling
12:57:18 Maybe stretching the shoulders, the toes just alert and grateful for taking this time for yourself and the practice of Iris I'm just gonna go and see everybody's naturally stretching.
12:57:31 So why don't we do a little bit of stretching while we're at it right so why don't we wide?
12:57:35 Separate your legs over your arms, and maybe release your neck. If that feels good
12:57:41 And then, if this this always feels really good at my body, if you're able to cross your leg so I'm just crossing at the ankle and just opening up the hips, yeah.
12:57:51 So you might want to engage the foot, however, that feels in the body so you can do this even in a zoom call.
12:57:56 So I'm always stretching, even during zoom.
12:57:58 Nobody knows what's happening underneath. So stretch here, and then do the other side as well.
12:58:03 Can hear everything. Making noises can release the leg more if that helps just feeling into the body.
12:58:09 It's different in everybody's body. Yeah. And then maybe just doing a quick twist.
12:58:13 So holding on to one side, holding onto the chair inhale to lengthen.
12:58:18 Roll open that shoulder, exhale you can start twisting.
12:58:20 Just take your time. Inhale, lengthen, and then exhale, twist to bring in the neck and gaze behind you, especially if you're feeling really stressed.
12:58:29 Twisting really takes you out of your head and back into your body.
12:58:32 And then exhale back to send to make sure you do both sides.
12:58:35 Inhale, lengthen, and exhale, twist, we'll open the shoulders, inhale, Link then, and excel, twist.
12:58:42 I actually do this on the subway, too. I don't really care if people look at me anymore.
12:58:47 And just keep twisting.
12:58:50 I feel back to center, and I'm gonna invite you to stand up.
12:58:54 If that feels okay, just going on your Tippy toes just really long and axial extension.
12:58:58 Really good if you can. I don't have my shoes on so
12:59:02 And then just release that with an exhale one more time, any, and then one more time. Exhale
