Happy Mind: Meditations from the Ancient World to Modernity

Releasing Muscle Tension (Jaw & Mouth -21 min)

•
Ever wonder why a hug feels so good? Or a massage? Or hot baths? It is because these are the sorts of “words” our bodies understand. We can’t command a muscle to relax with a thought or a sentence. We have to speak the body’s language. We do this by combining love and attention with movement and touch. Music works too. This is the language our bodies understand. We all carry the stresses of the day and the traumas of our past in our bodies. One of the common but often unrealized spots is our jaw and our mouths. Some of us grind our teeth as we sleep or seem to be more prone to toothaches or cavities than others. Or we square and tighten our jaw to face the challenges and fears and stresses of our day to day life. Avoiding that tension in the first place is the cure but fortunately, we can treat the symptom in a way that not only helps release this muscle tension but also contributes to the cure. By learning the language of our bodies we can practice mastery of our selves and our body and take a giant step forward on our path to rewiring our brains. And our sore muscles feel better in the process! If you enjoy these practical guided meditations, you may like to listen to the Serena Podcast (https://goo.gl/Dxu4eo) which provides the theory behind these practices and where we are headed by doing them.

  • Four Elements 🔥 ⛰️ 🌬️ 🌊 Breath (60 min)

    59:58|
    In the second verse of the Emerald Tablet of Hermes, it is written: "As above, so below". The physical world follows a rational, beautiful logic, and human beings for some mysterious reason can tune in to it. Even more mysteriously, as the quote from the Hermetic writings suggest, this beautiful logic mirrors the higher dimensions of consciousness. And this echo is one key we can use to unlock access to unified consciousness. The 'beautiful logic' explored in this meditation is that of the four elements that constitute the building blocks of the physical world. In this meditation you will learn how to tune in to the harmony underlying these building blocks of reality. And by synching up with the harmony of the sacred number four, you have the possibility of transcending numbers, the elements and physical reality altogether, opening the gateway to all the power of the universe flowing effortlessly through your human form.

  • The Power of Positivity 🌱🌼 (60 min)

    01:00:03|
    A wise master once explained to me that the secret to a happy life was simply to let go of all negative or limiting thoughts or emotions. If you can do that all you have to do is sit back and watch your good arrive. 'Why does it work, what is the foundation, what is the key?', I asked him. "The key is that there is already an underlying perfection. By letting go of all negative or limiting thoughts you get out of the way and allow that perfection to manifest unimpeded." A cynic might say we are simply tricking our brain to believe something that isn’t true. But if it works, does it matter? Try it out and decide for yourself.
