Name: RAIN Meditation for Fear by Aquanimous Yoga Podcast
Duration: 18 min 11 s
Description: For the past year, our nervous systems have been feeling fear and anxiety about the Coronavirus, about our bodies, about losing ourselves or others, about our finances. So the whole deal is: Can we be honest with the fear and take its intelligent message but not get overwhelmed? If ever there’s a time to learn practices that help us to wisely hold fear, this is it.

A powerful spiritual tool for cultivating compassion in the face of difficult emotions, limiting beliefs, and conflicts with others.

Through the acronym RAIN (Recognize-Allow-Investigate-Nurture) we can awaken the qualities of mature compassion: an embodied, mindful presence, active caring, and all-inclusive heart.

RAIN Meditation

Ten Points is the first somatic protocol as it is the most basic and also the most complete. In this practice, we are learning how to connect with our body, discover how we are holding on, and then develop the capacity to release, relax, let go, and see what comes next.

Ten Points

In this practice, we begin where Ten Points left off; we start by feeling our body, but this time as a whole, sensing first the overall sensations of our body as a totality, then feeling all at once all the body’s myriad tensions, and releasing this down into the earth. We use the downward flow of energy as a vehicle to extend our somatic awareness and open downward, deeper and deeper into the earth.

Mindfulness of Breathing is a very basic yet powerful mindfulness meditation practice. The idea is simply to focus your attention on your breathing-to its natural rhythm and flow and the way it feels on each inhale and exhale.

Mindfulness of Breath

Keeping the mind in the body means maintaining a constant state of awareness of the body in its sensations, breath, and the coming and going of feelings. This helps us regulate our responses to events, people and situations so we can make better, more conscious choices.

Mindfulness of the Body

In this practice, we take a closer look at the experience of space within our body. The term “Yin” is Taoist, referring to feminine space, feminine reality, in contrast to “Yang,” the masculine principle or reality.

RAIN Meditation for Fear

Forgiving others has 2 essential phases: The 1st is an inner process of healing the woundedness beneath theblame, and the 2nd is bringing a compassionate attention to the other person involved. Please consider the 1st part as a “stand alone” meditation, and practice it as long as it takes (days, months, years) to feel well established in self-compassions. Then, when you are ready, practice them both as a sequence.

RAIN of Forgiveness

This practice is a meditation technique that integrates the brain. It brings together all the meditation practices that we have done. It is about how our mind experiences life or consciousness. It’s how we receive and process information. Consciousness is the awareness of being aware. It is becoming the observer to our thoughts and experiences, as well as the experiencer. Consciousness is also how we relate to ourselves and the world. It creates overall well-being and connection. There is a flow of energy and information that the brain organizes and can be optimized for greater harmony.
