Hit the Ground Running and Other English Phrases

A gift from my heart to your heart! A guided meditation to help you relax, release and connect with your inner self...

For a teacher and a student. Something we can all benefit from and I use it every day :)

It's something unusual for a teacher to do, I know.

But I am not a normal teacher. I am interested in psychology, coaching, meditation, exploring the invisible. 

Today I'd like to share with you something I've come to realise after 14 years of my own personal & professional development - learning from the world's top teachers and something I've gathered from over 18,000 one-on-one coaching sessions with my students that I've successfully helped.

This is something I have done for my private students, but in today's meditation I had an idea to share it with the Italki community. 

Please allow my guided meditation to help you relax, feel comfortable in your skin and trust your inner instrument, the Dao WIthin, to take you where you need to go.

Let your Higher Self be your guide and my voice is the transmission mechanism to your Higher Self.

Feel good now.

Здравствуйте. Это восьмой эпизод подкаста «Глубинный народ», взгляд на культуру России из провинции.

На прошлой неделе я одновременно читал такие разные книги: «Перестройка и новое мышление» М. С. Горбачёва и «Котлован» А. П. Платонова.

Президент Советского Союза в частности писал:

«Нельзя не сказать ещё об одной стороне дела, которую на Западе часто игнорируют или замалчивают, но без которой нас, советских людей, просто не понять: помимо производственных и социальных достижений, была новая жизнь, был энтузиазм строителей нового мира, было воодушевление новым и необычным...»

Родился Горбачёв в тот же год, когда Платонов написал «Котлован». Вот характерная цитата из этой книги:

«... в жизни не было надежды; общая всемирная невзрачность, а также людская
некультурная унылость озадачивали Сафронова и расшатывали в нём идеологическую установку.
Он даже начинал сомневаться в счастье будущего, которое представлял в виде синего лета,
освещённого неподвижным солнцем, — слишком смутно и тщетно было днём и ночью вокруг.»

Каков контраст! Впрочем это азбучная истина: кто как живёт, тот так и воспринимает жизнь.

Позвольте ещё одну цитату из Платонова:

«Ты же видишь, что я урод империализма, а коммунизм — это детское дело.»

日本語のことわざを紹介します。

Japanese proverb　二兎を追う者は一兎をも得ず

You just got into bed after a long day, and you're exhausted. You plan to spend a few minutes on your phone — maybe scrolling Instagram or TikTok — and then sleep.

But when you try to sleep, it's not as easy as you thought it would be. You were so tired — what happened?

According to a new study, your phone may be the problem.

The study, done by researchers at New Zealand's University of Otago, involved 85 kids aged 11 to 14. They each spent a week wearing a body camera on their chest starting from three hours before they got into bed.

A second camera was also placed in their bedrooms to monitor their phone use once they were in bed. They also wore a device that tracked their sleep.

The researchers found that 99% of the participants used their phones in the two hours before bed. More than half used their phones while they were in bed, and about a third used their phones after trying to go to sleep.

The results showed that screen time in bed affected participants' sleep — it stopped them from going to sleep for about half an hour, and also reduced the amount of sleep they got.

The impact was larger when participants had a more interactive experience — such as playing a game — or if they used more than one screen. For every additional 10 minutes of this type of screen time, sleep time was reduced by the same amount.

Interestingly, phone use in the two hours before bed had little impact on sleep.

According to lead researcher Bradley Brosnan, the results suggest that, while current guidelines recommend no screen time in the hour or two before bed, keeping phones out of the bedroom might be enough for a better night's sleep.
