Guided Meditation 1 - Smiling - August 2019

https://youtu.be/rlgQbbreRaU A 20 mn Meditation created and guided by Sonia BRUCE Freedom Traveler. This is the first of a series that will include various Eastern approaches from the Japanese, Vietnamese, and Chinese traditions of Buddhism and Taoism. Some of them will also be influenced by more contemporary practices, principally the Awakening of the Sacred Feminine ( "connection to that part of your consciousness responsible for nurture, intuition, and empathy, regardless of your gender" - Dylan Essertier ). The aim of this session is to grow awareness, connect to the Heart, calm the Mind, balance the Qi (vital energy) and finally, heal our lives. Web: soniabruce.com FB: Sonia Bruce Freedom Traveler Main Guidelines for this video: As I understand it, Meditation is about being attentive in a relaxed way and increasing the level of our attention without wanting it to be increased, just letting it increase naturally while we breathe quietly. In this first Meditation we will let all our senses be naturally active; our eyes, ears, sense of smell, touch, the air or our clothes touching our skin, our hands laying on the lap... Just let all the senses open up while enlarging youir focus on them all. We'll be letting the flow of our attention go freely where it has to, here and now, not trying to avoid anything or prefer anything else. Really let it flow and we'll gather all information coming in, as it come and goes; physical sensations, energy movements qnd sensorial perceptions... So, we will open up to the whole environment around us, whether in front, on our sides or behind us. We'll gather information without judging anything that comes or doesn't come to us, just sitting here quietly and being an observer, a quiet observer. The only way the observer will be interfering is by smiling at all information or non-information, - just smiling . This meditation is inspired by the practice of the Inner Smile, from the Daoist and Taoists practices.
