<<0>> - Namaste, hello, doTERRA lovers.
<<4>> And welcome to day 21
<<8>> of this self-care
programme from Tenerife.
<<12>> My name is Noun, and I am
grateful and happy to see you.
<<22>> Before we start, make sure you have
<<25>> your doTERRA blend, Balance, with you,
<<30>> your mat, switch your phone off,
<<35>> switch the moment on.
<<38>> And you can also get
<<42>> support, like a pillow
underneath yourself,
<<46>> to come and start with me today
<<50>> in a comfortable sitting position.
<<56>> I invite you to take one drop
<<59>> of the Balance blend
<<71>> and apply it on your feet.
<<81>> Mm.
<<86>> This loving, moody, warm creation,
<<95>> it immediately connects you
<<99>> with your stillness,
<<102>> with the calmness.
<<109>> It provides stability,
<<116>> brings harmony to body and mind.
<<129>> Very relaxing start
<<133>> of our practise.
<<142>> Bring yourself then in a crossed leg
<<147>> or long leg sitting position.
<<153>> Place your hands on your knees
<<155>> and close your eyes.
<<160>> Arrive on your mat inspired, touched, and
<<171>> balanced by the Balance blend.
<<179>> Dive into this moment.
<<182>> Have a look inwards.
<<185>> Take the chance to be present,
<<189>> to be you
<<190>> in the here and now.
<<199>> Connecting to your breath
is the next invitation.
<<207>> Listen to your breath. Feel it.
<<218>> Feel also that your spine is growing
<<221>> and your shoulders can relax.
<<224>> And please make sure
during this heart opening
<<230>> exercises to respect your boundaries,
<<237>> to listen to yourself.
<<242>> And then gently open your eyes.
<<247>> A simple smile
<<252>> can be the start to open your heart
<<256>> and to be compassionate
<<261>> toward others and towards yourself.
<<265>> Open your heart
<<268>> means open your mind.
<<272>> And I invite you now
<<275>> to form the Lotus Mudra,
<<280>> like this, and place it
in front of your heart.
<<288>> This mudra,
<<292>> strengthens your heart chakra.
<<297>> It opens the fields, the connection.
<<307>> it provides love,
<<312>> compassion, and peace.
<<320>> The affirmation in this Mudra,
<<325>> I love myself.
<<330>> I take care of myself.
<<344>> Next invitation is
<<348>> to place hands on your shoulders
<<351>> and we start some nice
circles with the arms.
<<358>> To the front, to the sky,
to the back, and downwards.
<<363>> Five times in this direction.
<<369>> Five times in the other direction.
<<382>> Wonderful, next movement.
<<385>> One arm up,
<<386>> one goes down, and change.
<<392>> Gentle opening of the shoulders, gentle,
<<397>> connect to open your heart space.
<<403>> And then we can, if you're able to,
<<407>> activate the movement
a little bit backwards.
<<410>> Yes, opening, can happen.
<<416>> One last time, and then we
bring the arms to the front.
<<421>> Thumbs backwards, open,
<<425>> and close, like this.
<<429>> Relax the elbows. Your spine is upright.
<<433>> We do this together
<<437>> five more times.
<<443>> Natural breath.
<<448>> The invitation is to breathe
in and out through your nose.
<<453>> Open your arms two more times, fantastic.
<<458>> And then we're going to bring
the arms in this position
<<461>> and then I invite you to round your back.
<<464>> Maybe the elbows are happy
to touch in front of you.
<<468>> And then we're going to
open. We're going to expand.
<<472>> And we even allow to look into the sky.
<<477>> And now we're going to
round again, activate
<<488>> the movement of the spine.
<<490>> Activate the opening of the heart space.
<<495>> Be gentle, be
<<499>> connected with your heart,
<<502>> and feel how far
<<505>> you are happy to move, right?
<<511>> Be gentle with your neck. Be careful.
<<515>> And enjoy four more opening
<<519>> and closing movement.
<<534>> Always able to smile.
<<536>> That's very important in all my teachings.
<<541>> Shoulders relaxed, mind relaxed,
<<545>> and your heart is happy.
<<551>> Let's give it a shake.
<<554>> And then place your hands on your knees,
<<557>> and we're going to do
some nice circles here
<<561>> before we move on to the next asana,
<<565>> to the next position.
<<568>> You have started in your
favourite direction.
<<571>> And also, yes, let's change
the position of the feet.
<<575>> Very good idea, and the direction
of your circles as well.
<<592>> Natural breath is guiding you.
<<597>> And if the sun is too strong,
<<599>> make sure you're going to
put your oil in the shadow.
<<602>> And we are going to change the position
<<605>> to the all-four on your mat.
<<611>> Now place your hands to the front,
<<615>> relax the feet
<<618>> in the back.
<<620>> And very gentle,
<<623>> you start to sit back in the direction
<<627>> of your heels,
<<630>> and you allow the upper body to go down.
<<636>> You allow your shoulders to open.
<<640>> You allow your heart to open.
<<646>> You allow yourself
<<651>> to breathe and surrender.
<<659>> With every breath,
<<661>> melting can happen.
<<663>> Mm, with every breath,
<<668>> you can connect more
<<671>> with your heart.
<<676>> In through the nose
<<679>> and exhale through the nose.
<<693>> Enjoy staying in this position.
<<700>> Feel the quietness,
<<702>> the stillness, the peace.
<<709>> And feel that your heart
<<712>> can now open a little bit more.
<<717>> Ready to gently, slowly roll yourself up
<<722>> to all-four regular position,
<<726>> round your back into cat,
<<730>> and enjoy one time in
the opposite direction.
<<740>> Next step will be
<<743>> with the right foot to the
front, so to the very front,
<<748>> so that your foot is underneath your knee
<<751>> or even in front of your knee,
<<753>> and then you can bring
your arms to the back.
<<756>> I show you some options here
<<758>> to open your heart like
this, shoulders downwards.
<<762>> Make sure your head is in a nice position.
<<766>> Second option is you bring
your arms to the side.
<<769>> Yeah, allow your hips
nicely to open here as well
<<773>> while your heart is opening.
<<775>> Thumbs to the back as we
<<778>> prepared in the beginning in the warmup.
<<782>> Or the third variation,
<<785>> more intensive, would be
to bring your arms up,
<<790>> lean backwards, stay
connected with your breath.
<<803>> Enjoy whichever variation
<<805>> is creating happiness and heart
opening for you right now.
<<815>> One more, deep inhalation, exhalation.
<<818>> And then bring your arms down,
<<820>> landing with your hands on the neck,
<<822>> and it's time to change the legs.
<<826>> Left leg to the front,
<<828>> arms to the back would
be the easiest position.
<<833>> I also show you that you can
intertwine your fingers behind
<<838>> and stretch your arms backwards.
<<840>> Wow. Very nice.
<<843>> Or you decide to take this position,
<<847>> relax your elbows.
<<849>> Remember to relax your right hip now.
<<854>> Remember to have the foot
<<857>> underneath the knee or
a little bit in front.
<<860>> Or you want to go
<<863>> for the full,
<<865>> beautiful, graceful position
of opening the heart,
<<873>> opening the mind.
<<877>> And don't forget to smile.
<<891>> Enjoy enough deep
inhalation/exhalation here
<<896>> and then gently bring your
hands back on the mat.
<<900>> Place the front foot back.
<<904>> And from here, we're going to gently,
<<908>> slowly allow the hip
<<912>> to sink down.
<<915>> Powerful arms, a good awareness
<<920>> that between shoulders and
ears, you have enough space.
<<926>> And if you feel some
tension in your lower back,
<<930>> lumbar spine, I invite
you to create more space
<<934>> between your feet right now.
<<937>> So feel the opening happening
<<941>> in the front side of your body
<<944>> while your arms are
powerfully supporting you,
<<950>> your shoulders downwards.
<<951>> And then if you have the capacity,
<<955>> you can even look a little bit more up
<<959>> into the blue sky.
<<962>> Make sure your head
<<965>> and neck are in a happy position.
<<971>> Deep breathing into the nose,
<<974>> out to the nose.
<<976>> Deep connection, stability.
<<980>> All the qualities and
the love from the blend,
<<985>> Balance, is helping you right now.
<<999>> Take another deep breath here.
<<1005>> And very gently lift your hips,
<<1010>> create some space between your knees,
<<1014>> and we are going to sit back for a lucky
<<1018>> and sweet moment
<<1021>> in the opposite direction.
<<1025>> I like to call this the Happy Package.
<<1030>> You know, it is called the Child's Pose.
<<1036>> Stay connected with your heart.
<<1039>> And I invite you to breathe even deeper.
<<1045>> Give a nice massage to your organs
<<1049>> and feel that you're safe,
<<1052>> protected, and loved.
<<1060>> Let go, and breathe.
<<1069>> Yes, it feels very warm
<<1075>> around your heart space now.
<<1082>> I invite you to take your heart
<<1087>> away from the mat,
<<1089>> unfold into the all-four position.
<<1093>> Take the toes now and lift the knees.
<<1098>> And let's enjoy
<<1101>> for some movements
<<1104>> of the Running Downward Dog.
<<1116>> And then jump, walk,
<<1120>> or fly with your feet
<<1125>> through the middle of your mat.
<<1127>> Allow your upper body
<<1130>> to really relax in this position,
<<1134>> to really enjoy this forward bend,
<<1138>> and then with your next exhalation,
<<1141>> activate your powerful core
<<1144>> and gently, slowly roll up,
<<1148>> take your time
<<1150>> to arrive in the standing position
<<1155>> of these wonderful exercises..
<<1158>> Placing the hands in front of your heart.
<<1163>> Close your eyes.
<<1167>> Be balanced. Be connected.
<<1169>> Be in your stability.
<<1180>> Yes, there is a smile
<<1185>> much bigger than in the beginning
<<1187>> of this little practise.
<<1192>> Yes, there is a heart,
<<1197>> which is so, so, so, so, so, so happy,
<<1201>> fulfilled, and grateful right now.
<<1208>> Thank you so much for participating.
<<1212>> If you have any questions
<<1214>> or comments, I'm happy to answer you.
<<1218>> And, remember, your heart can trust,
<<1223>> your heart can relax,
<<1227>> and your heart can move, namaste.
