Welcome to the braintuning podcast! We are Joanna and Chryssa and together we will present a weekly meditation in English and in Greek. The idea for this podcast was born through our personal research and years of experimentation with meditation. We have seen that the more you repeat the process, the mind learns to concentrate and develop awareness, and the more often we practice, the easier it is to stay focused on what we are doing in the present. Whether you are a beginner in meditation practices or advanced, you can feel the benefits. So, let’s begin…
You can sit or lie down in a comfortable place and loosen up your clothes if they are tight. It is time to train your mind to be in the present, in the here and now. If you chose to sit, straighten your back so that your spine is not pressed down. If you are lying down, stay on your back in a neutral position where you can notice if there is any tightness in your body. Now is the time to relax.
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and exhaling slowly through your mouth. Concentrate on your breath. Notice how natural, how harmonious, how calm, how relaxed the rhythm of your breath already is and the more you concentrate on it, the more you let go. Each breath becomes deeper, more relaxed and more enjoyable.
Slowly focus on your body, starting from your legs and going to the top of your head. Feel the bottom of your feet, go up to your calves, scan your legs up to the hip. As you observe your body, notice any tightness. And relax. Continue scanning the pelvic area, the abdomen, the back, stay for a while in your chest area, feel your heart, your shoulders. Where there is any tension, allow it to be released. Now, go to your arms, elbows and hands. Allow them to soften. Go to the neck, the back of your head, the face. Relax your mouth, your jaw, your eyes. Let go, trust the wisdom of your body, you are safe. You are in the here and now.
Put all your attention to the top of your head. At a distance from you and the top of your head, imagine a ball of light. Between you and this big ball of bright white healing light, there is a pyramid. The tip of the pyramid is facing the ball of light and the base of the pyramid is facing you. Imagine a ray of light starting from the bright white ball, heading towards the top of the pyramid and ending up inside of you. You are bathing in a waterfall of white and golden light. You have become one with it. As you inhale, the white golden light fills up all of your cells. With each exhalation you send away whatever no longer is serving you.
Stay here as long as you need.
You can slowly now return to your breath, while maintaining the feeling you just experienced. Now the journey is over and you can open your eyes whenever you are ready.
