30-Day Brain Reset: Esoteric Meditation Protocol

Introduction

• Objective: Engage in the esoteric meditation protocol together.
• Setup: Ensure speakers are on or headphones are in to follow along.

Phase One: Setup

• Environment: Clean your space to minimize disorder (external reflects internal).
  • No clothes on the ground.
  • Trash should not overflow.
  • General tidiness is key.
• Notebook and Pen: Keep a meditation journal nearby to jot down creative thoughts or ideas during meditation.
  • Helps avoid breaking the meditative state to remember ideas later.

Stress Test Component

• Purpose: Combine physical and mental stress to enhance the meditation experience.
• Tools Needed: Phone with timer.
• Activity: Max push-ups in 1 minute.
  • This will not hinder recovery or regular workouts.
  • Objective: Push yourself physically to activate fight-or-flight response, increase heart rate and breathing.
• Execution: Perform as many push-ups as possible in 1 minute, touch chest to floor.

Post Stress-Test Meditation

• Immediate Effects: Increased heart rate and breathing, muscle burn.
• Transition: Shift from physical exertion to mental relaxation.
• Posture: Sit comfortably (on floor, cushion, or chair).
  • Keep back straight and be comfortable.

Breathing and Awareness

• Initial Focus: Pay attention to breathing and heartbeat.
• Technique: Deep diaphragmatic breathing instead of chest breathing.
  • Inhale deeply until lungs are full, then hold and slow exhale.
• Visual Awareness: Open eyes, expand peripheral vision.
  • Shift from focused vision (attack mode) to peripheral vision (relaxed mode).
• Auditory Awareness: Incorporate hearing into overall awareness.
  • Become aware of immediate sounds, breath, heartbeat, surroundings.
• Spherical Awareness: Imagine awareness expanding in all directions, forming an aura or sphere.
  • Focus on expanding awareness to occupy the immediate environment.

Meditation Objective

• Focus: Maintain calm awareness enhanced by previous physical exertion.
• Breathing Visualization: Visualize each breath expanding awareness outwards.
• Differences from Traditional Meditation:
  • Start from an agitated state instead of relaxed.
  • Expand awareness outwards rather than focusing inwards.

Closing the Meditation

• Return to Normal: Reduce sphere of awareness back into the body.
  • Deep breaths, contract awareness to the center of the forehead.
• Final Steps: Open eyes, feel internal energy, and prepare to conquer the day.
• Community Interaction: Update progress tracker, comment with how you felt, and mark the module as complete.

Tools and Apps

• School App: Required for interaction with the community, updating progress tracker, and marking tasks as complete.
