SJE/OISE Meditation Class - PRE-RECORDED
Hello everyone,
Hope you are doing well, taking good care.
Today's class is pre-recorded. Today, I have some extra appointments with clients. Thank you for your understanding. As always, the space is held for you individually and collectively.
Calm your mind and your mood in 11 minutes.
Today's meditation class is a breath meditation (pranayam) sequence for a clear mind and calm heart.
This is an excellent guided practice that you can come back to any time you need to calm emotions, get clear before making a decision, or adjust your awareness and projection. There are three parts: Long, deep, diaphragm breathing, the four part breath for the neutral mind, and the meditation for a calm heart. Each of the parts can be done on its own, or you can do the whole sequence.
Long deep breathing: there are so many benefits to long deep breathing. Here are just a few: creates an active relaxation, retunes and resets your brain, increases the circulations of spinal fluid to the brain, increases lung capacity and cleanses the blood, stimulates the production of endorphins, and reduces fear and increases awareness.
Four part breath for the neutral mind: deepens the circulation of oxygen throughout the body, balances your energy to rejuvenate and relax, calms emotions, increases clarity and alertness, brings balance and perspective to decision-making, and helps you move past perceived limitations.
Meditation for a calm heart: includes all the benefits of the four part breath, induces an experience of peace and calmness, creates a still point at the heart centre to expand compassion and reduce fear, expands self awareness and clarity of relationships to your self and others, strengthens the aura and your projection.

Acknowledgement of Traditional Land
We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca and, most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
