- [00:00:08.740]Friends of a Feather,
- [00:00:12.030]find a comfortable seat,
- [00:00:14.420]close your eyes,
- [00:00:17.900]find your breath,
- [00:00:20.530]inhale,
- [00:00:24.870]exhale,
- [00:00:28.710]do that again.
- [00:00:41.580]For today's meditation, we're gonna reminisce
- [00:00:44.590]with an old friend.
- [00:00:46.450]So, let's lighten up.
- [00:00:49.290]Let go of any hot air.
- [00:00:55.080]Imagine you're in a space for a meet up,
- [00:00:57.480]real, imaginary or virtual,
- [00:01:00.750]any place is good.
- [00:01:06.610]Maybe it's a tree house,
- [00:01:09.410]because you have friends in high places
- [00:01:12.480]or a clubhouse with a lot of books
- [00:01:15.100]because you're on the same page with your friends.
- [00:01:18.950]Imagine this place.
- [00:01:28.720]In a moment, your good friend will arrive,
- [00:01:32.140]not a throw back, but a pal.
- [00:01:35.070]Who is it?
- [00:01:39.510]Your right-hand man, your soul sister,
- [00:01:41.530]the holder of the other half of your best friend necklace,
- [00:01:45.290]the one who taught you the secret handshake to get inside.
- [00:01:55.421]Open the door and greet your friend,
- [00:01:57.940]say hello,
- [00:02:00.220]smile,
- [00:02:02.560]hold your friend's gaze.
- [00:02:08.180]Enjoy this moment with your best pal.
- [00:02:19.840]Now, take a moment to reminisce.
- [00:02:22.840]Remember your funniest encounter together,
- [00:02:27.360]the silliest, most ridiculous and hilarious time.
- [00:02:47.630]Tell that story again, just for laughs,
- [00:02:52.820]belly laugh,
- [00:02:56.110]laugh yourself silly.
- [00:03:08.030]Time flies with this friend.
- [00:03:11.400]Walk your friend to the door
- [00:03:12.570]and set a date to meet up again.
- [00:03:17.620]Before they go, your friend leans over and tells you a joke,
- [00:03:21.700]a one-liner, that one thing that always makes you laugh.
- [00:03:28.770]It's the thing you need to hear.
- [00:03:33.450]What did they whisper?
- [00:03:43.160]Take a breath in
- [00:03:47.555]and exhale slowly.
- [00:03:52.330]Take another breath in,
- [00:03:57.080]exhale.
- [00:04:01.090]Notice how you feel after this meditation.
- [00:04:06.600]Let yourself smile as you remember what you shared.
- [00:04:14.680]See if you can bring some of this feeling
- [00:04:17.350]into the rest of your Saturday.
