    Episode 63: THE ADVISOR - MEDITATION SPACE
    2023/11/24
    Welcome to the meditation space. All the answers are within us, but often we can’t hear them because our egos or other distractions get in the way. The Inner Advisor is a powerful technique that helps us listen better to the voice of our intuition, develop our inner guidance, find clarity, and connect with our higher human qualities. This is based on shamanic and yogic principles. Remember the time and place of your next meeting with your advisor, and tell yourself you are open to having different types of advisors. Also, take the signal breath to return from this meeting. In a meditation space, imagine a ball of energy that rises up the front of your body and goes down your spine, circulating around your body as you enter a deep state of relaxation and comfort. Ask your advisor for help with a problem if you feel you are not following through. Joe Busuttil Equator Therapies www.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.com

    2023/09/20
    COMPASSION WITHIN - MEDITATION SPACE - JOE-Y BUSUTTIL Welcome to Meditation Space - this practice looks at Compassion. Compassion plays a significant role in meditation, as it can enhance your practice and overall well-being in various ways. Here's how compassion helps with meditation: Enhanced Focus and Presence: Compassion meditation, often referred to as loving-kindness meditation or metta, involves generating feelings of love and kindness towards oneself and others. This focus on positive emotions can help you stay present during meditation, reducing distractions and promoting a deeper state of mindfulness.Reduced Stress and Anxiety: Practicing compassion in meditation can reduce stress and anxiety levels. When you cultivate feelings of compassion, you counteract negative emotions like anger and resentment, leading to a calmer and more relaxed state of mind.Improved Emotional Regulation: Compassion meditation can help you become more aware of your emotions and develop greater emotional resilience. This means you're better equipped to handle difficult emotions and situations with equanimity.Greater Empathy: Regularly practicing compassion meditation can increase your capacity for empathy and understanding towards others. This can lead to more harmonious relationships and improved communication skills.Increased Well-Being: Compassion is linked to feelings of well-being and happiness. By nurturing these feelings through meditation, you can experience an overall improvement in your mental and emotional state.Self-Compassion: Meditation can also help you develop self-compassion, which involves treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you offer to others. This can be particularly helpful for individuals struggling with self-esteem and self-criticism.Enhanced Social Connection: Compassion meditation encourages a sense of interconnectedness with all living beings. This can foster a greater sense of community and social connection, which is beneficial for mental health. To incorporate compassion into your meditation practice, you can follow guided metta meditation instructions or simply set aside time during your meditation to silently repeat compassionate phrases or thoughts towards yourself and others. As you continue to practice, you'll likely experience the positive effects of compassion on your meditation and overall well-being.

    Episode 60: POETIC VERSE - MEDITATION SPACE
    2023/09/07
    POETIC VERSE - MEDITATION SPACE - JOE-Y BUSUTTIL Welcome to Meditation Space - this practice looks at Poetic Verse, Poetry and meditation can be closely intertwined, as both offer a means of exploring the depths of consciousness, emotions, and the human experience. Reading poetry mindfully can be a meditative practice in itself. When you read a poem, slow down and pay close attention to each word, line, and image. Let the words wash over you, allowing yourself to fully immerse in the sensory experience of the poem. Like meditation, poetry can encourage moments of silence and stillness. After reading a poem, take a few moments to sit quietly and let the words and feelings settle within you. This can be a form of meditation where you simply observe your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Poetry can be a way to express and release pent-up emotions, much like meditation can help you process and let go of emotional baggage. Writing poetry can be a cathartic experience that allows you to explore and understand your emotions more deeply. Incorporating poetry into your meditation practice or vice versa can provide a rich and meaningful way to explore your inner world and connect with the world around you. Whether you're reading, writing, or discussing poetry, it can be a powerful tool for self-discovery and mindfulness.

It helps you bounce back from disappointments and continue working towards your goals. Better Decision-Making: Patient individuals are less likely to make hasty decisions driven by emotions.

It helps you give others the space and time they need, leading to healthier and more harmonious interactions. Skill Development: Learning new skills and mastering complex tasks takes time. Patience enables you to stick with the learning process and persevere even when progress seems slow. Importance of Endurance:Achievement of Goals: Many worthwhile goals require sustained effort over an extended period. Endurance ensures that you keep working towards your objectives even when the initial excitement fades. Character Building: Endurance builds resilience, discipline, and determination. It teaches you to stay committed and focused on your goals despite difficulties. Growth and Improvement: Enduring through challenges provides opportunities for growth and improvement. It pushes you out of your comfort zone and helps you develop new skills and perspectives. Long-Term Success: Endurance is often a key factor in achieving long-term success. Many successful people attribute their achievements to their ability to persevere through tough times. Meditation and Cultivating Patience and Endurance: Meditation is a powerful tool for developing patience and endurance. Here's how it can help: Mindfulness: Meditation, especially mindfulness meditation, trains you to be present in the moment without reacting impulsively. Stress Reduction: Meditation reduces stress and anxiety, which can contribute to impatience and frustration. Delayed Gratification: Meditation enhances your ability to delay gratification. Focus and Concentration: Meditation improves your ability to focus and concentrate. This skill is crucial for enduring through tasks that require sustained attention and effort. Emotional Regulation: Meditation helps you regulate your emotions, reducing impulsive reactions. This is essential for maintaining patience in challenging situations. Mindset Shift: Regular meditation can lead to a shift in perspective, helping you recognise the impermanent nature of challenges and setbacks. This understanding can foster patience and a more balanced approach to difficulties. Incorporating meditation into your routine can help you develop these qualities over time. Consistency is key, as the benefits of meditation tend to accumulate with practice. Joe Busuttil Equator Therapies www.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.com

    Episode 58: SURRENDER MEDITATION - MEDITATION. SPACE - JOE-Y BUSUTTIL
    2023/08/17
    SURRENDER MEDITATION - MEDITATION. SPACE Welcome to Meditation Space a weekly podcast offering is listeners a lace to practice. The term "surrender meditation" can be used to describe many meditative practises in which the practitioner focuses on releasing their hold on the situation and any expectations they may have about the results. Giving up control of your mind, heart, and will during meditation is essential. The goal of this technique is to stop trying to control your thoughts and feelings during meditation. Instead, you refrain from judging or suppressing your internal experiences as they occur. The result can be profound calm, contentment, and awareness of the present moment. Principles from mindfulness and various spiritual traditions are frequently included into surrender meditation. It urges you to let go of any need to alter or control your surroundings and instead give your full attention to the here and now, your breathing, or whatever object of concentration you choose. People who have problems with stress, worry, or excessive thinking may benefit greatly from this style of meditation. Achieving inner calm and focus requires letting go of the control one feels compelled to maintain over one's thoughts and experiences. Remember that there are various types of meditation, and that the term "surrender meditation" may have multiple meanings and applications depending on the author or instructor. It's crucial to try out several meditation techniques until you find one that suits your personality and helps you achieve your goals.

    Episode 57: I AM PRESENT - MEDITATION SPACE
    2023/07/21
    I AM PRESENT - MEDITATION SPACE Welcome to the Meditation Space . Becoming present for meditation involves cultivating mindfulness and awareness in the present moment. Here are some steps to help you achieve a state of presence during meditation: Create a suitable environment: Choose a quiet and comfortable space where you can sit or lie down without distractions. Ensure the room temperature is comfortable, and consider using cushions or a meditation stool for support. Set a time for meditation: Establish a regular meditation schedule, ideally practicing at the same time each day. This helps your mind and body prepare for the practice and establishes a routine. Adopt a comfortable posture: Find a posture that works for you, whether it's sitting cross-legged on the floor, using a chair, or lying down. The key is to maintain a position that promotes alertness without discomfort. Focus on your breath: Use your breath as an anchor to the present moment. Pay attention to the sensation of the breath as it enters and leaves your body. If your mind starts to wander, gently bring your focus back to your breath. Observe your thoughts: As you meditate, thoughts will arise. Rather than getting caught up in them or judging yourself, simply observe them without attachment. Let them pass like clouds in the sky, gently redirecting your attention to your breath or chosen point of focus. Engage your senses: Tune into your senses during meditation. Notice the feeling of your body on the cushion or chair, the sounds around you, the temperature of the room, and any other sensations you experience. Use guided meditation: If you're finding it challenging to stay present, consider using guided meditation. Many apps and online resources offer guided sessions that can help you stay focused and grounded. Be patient with yourself: Remember that meditation is a skill that takes time and practice to develop. Be patient with yourself, and don't judge your meditation experiences as "good" or "bad." Each session is an opportunity to learn and grow. Start with short sessions: If you're new to meditation, begin with short sessions, such as 5-10 minutes, and gradually increase the duration as you become more comfortable with the practice. Practice regularly: Consistency is key. Regular meditation practice will strengthen your ability to be present and cultivate mindfulness in your everyday life. Remember that meditation is a journey, and it's normal to have moments of distraction or restlessness. The goal is not to eliminate thoughts but to become more aware of them and cultivate a greater sense of presence and mindfulness in your life. Enjoy I

    LIVING WITH COMPASSION MEDITATION - MEDITATION SPACE Living in compassion meditation is a practice that cultivates and nurtures compassion in your daily life. It involves developing a mindset of empathy, understanding, and kindness towards yourself and others. Here's a simple guide to help you practice living in compassion meditation: Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can sit or lie down without any distractions. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to relax your body and mind. Begin by directing compassion towards yourself. Acknowledge any pain, suffering, or challenges you may be experiencing. Silently repeat affirmations or phrases like, "May I be happy. May I be healthy. May I live with ease." Visualizs yourself surrounded by a warm, loving light. Expand your circle of compassion to include loved ones. Bring to mind someone close to you who may be going through a difficult time. Repeat the same affirmations for them, imagining them surrounded by the same loving light. Gradually extend your compassion to neutral people, such as acquaintances, colleagues, or strangers. Picture them in your mind and offer the same well-wishes: "May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you live with ease." Finally, extend your compassion to difficult people or those you may have conflicts with. This can be challenging but is an essential part of cultivating compassion. Recognise that they too experience pain and suffering. Wish them well in your mind: "May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you live with ease." Take a few moments to bask in the feeling of compassion and loving-kindness that you've generated. Allow it to fill your heart and radiate out into the world. When you're ready, gently bring your awareness back to the present moment. Open your eyes and carry this sense of compassion with you throughout your day. Remember, living in compassion meditation is not limited to the meditation cushion. The goal is to cultivate compassion in your everyday life. Practice being more understanding, kind, and empathetic towards yourself and others. Small acts of kindness and empathy can make a significant difference in the world around you. Regular practice will help deepen your capacity for compassion, promoting inner peace, harmony, and positive connections with others. Meditation is a practise that can really make your life better. A practise that changes and improves your life in ways you might not expect. So we need to do the right things and set up the right conditions if we’re going to change. Let yourself relax and let go. Enjoy this session. Joe-y Busuttil YOUTUBE : @MentalHealthSupportJoeBusuttil Joe Busuttil Website: www.equator-hypnotherapymelbourne.com MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/equatortherapies the EUDAIMONIA connection Podcast Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/The-Eudaimonia-Connection-Podcast I am Joey Busuttil and after experiencing years in mental, physical and spiritual psychosis- I decided to re claimed my life by stepping into a quest to find EUDAIMONIA. Unlike our everyday concept of happiness, Eudaimonia is not a state of mind, nor is it simply the experience of joys and pleasures. Moreover, happiness is a subjective concept. ... Eudaimonia, in contrast, is meant as an objective standard of 'happiness,' based on what it means to live a human life well. When taken to the extreme, it can translate into the pursuit of pleasure and simply doing whatever you want that helps you attain this. Aristippus, for example, lived a life in pursuit of pleasure and did anything for the sake of sensual pleasure. With the word Eudaimonia in mind, we’re striving to do justice to our full human potential and to work in some small but key way towards the improvement of our species. Meditation is a practise that can really make your life better. A practise that changes and improves your life in ways you might not expect. So we need to do the right things and set up the right conditions if we’re going to change. Let yourself relax and let go. This podcast offers practice to funding stillness and hopefully Eudaimonia.
