WHAT IS BRAIN EDUCATION TV? Brain Education TV provides mental health and mental wellness videos to help young adults with loneliness, depression, and anxiety. The foundation of our content comes from Brain Education, an academic study from South Korea that stems from over 40 years of research and application and has been practiced by millions around the world.
WHY WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH… We suffered from high-functioning loneliness and depression our whole lives. We lived different lives in different states, but when we met, we realized we were struggling with common issues that reflected an important problem in our young adult generation. We didn’t know who we were, what we were passionate about, what we should live for, and what direction our lives were “supposed” to go. We spent a lot of time wandering in search of that magical ‘answer’ that will solve all problems (like I’m sure most of you are doing right now), and yet the further we searched outside, the more pronounced the emptiness inside of us felt.
Millions of people suffer silently from mental health related issues. Yet our society still places taboos around openly talking about relevant mental health topics like loneliness, depression, and anxiety. As a result, our young adults don’t know how to talk about it constructively, where to turn to, or what resources they have to combat this real-life threat to their wellbeing.
We credit Brain Education for giving us the courage to overcome our own mental health struggles and create the lives we want...and now we hope you can too through the videos we share on this channel.
Hello earth citizens. In this video, I will do a 10-minute meditation routine for relaxation.
So before we begin, please find a comfortable space away from distractions and have a seat
either on a chair. If you're sitting in a chair, please make your feet line up on the floor and
feet flat on the floor. And if you're seated on the floor, you can sit on a mat in half lotus
posture. And when you're seated, please move your hips side to side. Shake your spine,
shake your hips, make your body comfortable. Loosen your spine and place your hands with your
palms facing up on your knees and straighten your back and then tuck your chin down a tiny bit
and then close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose
and exhale out through your mouth. Deep breath in through your nose and exhale out through your
mouth. One more time, deep breath in through your nose and exhale out through your mouth.
Now I will call out body parts that I want you to relax. Every body part that I call,
release the tension there, release the pain and tension in that body part
and you will feel more relaxed overall afterwards. First relax your forehead,
relax the muscles in your forehead, relax your eyes, relax your cheeks, relax your jaw.
You can slightly open up your jaw to relax it but keep breathing in through your nose
and out through your mouth. Relax your neck, relax your shoulders, relax your arms,
relax your wrists, relax your hands, relax your fingers, relax your chest. Release any feelings
you may be feeling heavy in your chest. Breathe out any heaviness from your chest. Relax your
abdomen, relax all the muscles in your abdomen. If you're seated with your stomach flexed,
relax the muscles in your abdomen, relax your hips, relax your thighs, relax your knees,
relax your calves, relax your ankles, relax your feet and relax your toes. You may stretch out
your legs if you'd like to relax them more but now your body is fully relaxed. Take notice of
this feeling, this relaxed feeling in your body and your mind. Take notice of this moment right
now. Take notice of the sensations in your body. Do you still feel some tension or pain somewhere?
If you do, please relax that area and send some healing energy to it. Realizing the sensations
in your body helps you connect to your body more and helps you live more in the present moment
and also listen to what your body is telling you. If you have pains somewhere like in your chest
or your abdomen, that could be your body telling you that there's something wrong
but most people don't listen to that and they ignore those signs from their body.
So this is a great way again to connect to yourself and feel your body. Now take a deep breath
in through your nose and breathe out through your mouth. Deep breath in through your nose
and breathe out through your mouth. One more time. Deep breath in through your nose and breathe out
through your mouth. Great job. Now open your eyes and rub your palms together. Rub your palms
together. Create heat in between your palms and now place your palms over your head, over your face
and send that heat to yourself. Send that heat and loving energy to yourself and say I love my
beautiful face and then send it to your shoulders. Give yourself a nice little shoulder massage
and now sweep down. Sweep down your arms. Sweep down your chest. Sweep down your legs.
Great job. So how do you feel? Do you feel more relaxed overall? Do you feel more connected to
yourself and your body? Please message down below how you felt. I'd love to hear your sharings
and if you're interested in a one-hour brain education based class, please visit a local
body and brain yoga studio near you. Thank you and I'll see you in another video.
