Checking In With Ourselves – Jogging Meditation + Meditation (28 Min) Ep 3

Theme: Checking In With Ourselves

Overview

The theme is checking in with yourself and knowing that you are perfect in this moment and you’re doing great!

It’s broken up into 6 sections:

You can do this as a jog outside or as a treadmill run.

To make it interesting, I have specifically set it up as if you do have treadmill controls with incline or speed.

However, you don’t have to run on a treadmill to do this workout.

We’ll be doing it as intervals of one to three to four minutes where every interval will change either the incline the speed or both.

The Most Important Thing in Exercise Meditation

The number one priority in exercise meditation is to be with yourself, to love yourself, to be there for yourself. The goal of the exercise is to help you get even closer to yourself.

That means you can throw anything that says, “oh, I have to do this”, or “I better do this”, or throw out any negative self-talk that you “believe” is helping you exercise or move or do the right thing in your life, throw all of that out.

And in this exercise-meditation the goal is to be with yourself. And if that means just walking or stretching, that is perfect.

You could really follow along with the exercise meditation, even as a brisk walk.

Enjoy the session.

Verbal Journaling

Since the theme of this workout is how are you doing checking in with yourself, my first question is how do you feel right now?

Increase your inclined by one and your speed by 0.5. Does anything feel tight in your body?

Does anything feel difficult in your life right now?

Is there any other emotions, like excitement, energy, happiness, that’s happening, that you feel right now?

What do you feel good about?

If your heart could talk, what would it say?

Reduce your inclined by one and increase your speed by one.

How do you feel about this past week? Anything interesting or significant happen that you’re thinking about?

How do you feel about the past month or the past few months?

Are there any other feelings in your body you’re feeling, but can’t put a finger on? what does it feel like?

Relax your lungs and feel your lungs. How does your lungs feel? Does it feel tight or loose? Open?

Noticing the Anxiety Inside My Organs

Today I was feeling anxious, I got to be honest, and kind of was frustrated with it. I was very judgmental and I, I think I was jumping rope and I just realized, again, the lesson again, that my organs were kind of scared and there wasn’t really a good reason for it. And so just to be there with that anxiety was helpful.

Guided Meditative Breathing

As your feet bounce and you feel your organs and your body move, how did you feel? What emotions are going on inside of you?

Reduce your incline by one and increase your speed by a half. As you start to feel your body moving, take a deep breath.

Try to focus on the feeling of your feet hitting the floor. Each step, feel each step. You’re doing good. let go of any thoughts that you have and come back to the feeling of the impact on your organs every time you take another step forward. You’re doing great!

Keep your incline the same and increase your speed by a half.

You’re doing good. Let go of any thoughts. Take a big, deep breath and feel that breath as it leaves into your lungs. Feel the breath as it gently expands into the front of your lungs. Feel the breath as it gently expands into the back of your lungs. And then with your whole body breathe out.

In the next minute and a half, we’re going to really focus on staying in your chest, staying in your lungs, feeling how that feels relaxed. And breathe out from her lungs. Relax. As you breathe in, breathe in to the front of your chest, into the spaces that you usually don’t feel.

Lower the incline by one and increase the speed by one. Stay with the breath. Watch every molecule as it comes into your chest. Watch it, watch it. Watch it. And it comes out, stay with the breath, stay there. Let go of any thoughts, just completely give yourself to your breath. Noticing every molecule movement. Feeling your heartbeat.
