Leaning into discomfort and quietening the mind with Dustin Brown Warrior One Yoga
-
- Health & Fitness
A topic that comes up frequently for many people is how to navigate difficult situations in life and the busyness of our minds during times of discomfort and frustration. Today Dustin shares a few practical tools and a short practice to help you lean into the discomfort and quiet down your busy mind.
During those moments of discomfort, remember to take a deep breath. Dustin talks about how this helps us slow down, bring focus inwards and get into the felt sensation in our bodies. He also shares how deep breathing helps us on a physiological level, bringing more blood flow into the prefrontal cortex.
Our minds will often try to trick us into believing that we're not capable of what we truly are. Learning how to pause and notice how we’re feeling in moments of discomfort helps us to gain clarity and in practising this, we begin to create a gap between reacting in harshness and responding in non-violence.
Throughout meditation when we are simply sitting and breathing, we sometimes need more traps for attention to help quieten the mind. Dustin shares the benefits of breath and mantra during meditation and how this practice is incredibly therapeutic and grounding. Toward the end of the episode, Dustin guides us through a short practice to help tap into a state of blissful awareness.
