Transcript

Introduction to Bonus Episode

00:00:01
Speaker
Welcome back, everyone.
00:00:02
Speaker
It's another episode of Dirty Briefs, a bonus episode, if you will, because the last episode I hit you with a little meditation, one to de-stress you, to heal what's ailing you.
00:00:18
Speaker
But that was a short episode, and I thought, why not break this week into two different meditations that can be used for different areas of your life?

Wild Partying Nostalgia

00:00:32
Speaker
I am very excited to bring you this meditation because I have not been partying in a while, but I used to be quite the little wild man when I would attend a shindig.
00:00:44
Speaker
I'd be hanging naked from the chandelier.
00:00:46
Speaker
I would be drinking all of the bleach under the sink.
00:00:50
Speaker
I would black out constantly and forget everything that I had just done.
00:00:57
Speaker
Some of us, we like to blackout.
00:01:00
Speaker
It's like time traveling.
00:01:01
Speaker
It's fun.

Meditation to Recover Blackout Memories

00:01:02
Speaker
But some of us need to remember what we are doing.
00:01:08
Speaker
So here is another meditation to remember what happened during a blackout.
00:01:18
Speaker
Once again, we're going to go deep.
00:01:21
Speaker
If you're driving a car, please, please pull over to the side of the road.
00:01:27
Speaker
Otherwise, get comfortable and prepare to explore the deepest caverns of your insides.
00:01:37
Speaker
Here we go.
00:01:42
Speaker
As always, we begin by closing our eyes.
00:01:47
Speaker
Take a deep breath and count to five.
00:01:51
Speaker
One, two, three, four.
00:01:56
Speaker
Exhale with the same count.
00:01:58
Speaker
One, two, three, four, five.
00:02:04
Speaker
Inhale again.
00:02:07
Speaker
Only this time, go back in your mind to the night where you lost all consciousness.
00:02:19
Speaker
Think about what you were wearing.
00:02:23
Speaker
Was it your college university hoodie?
00:02:26
Speaker
Was it that little black dress that Mark said you look super hot in?
00:02:33
Speaker
Think about it.
00:02:35
Speaker
Exhale.
00:02:38
Speaker
As I continue to speak, please keep inhaling and exhaling.
00:02:43
Speaker
Keep your breath steady.
00:02:46
Speaker
The deeper you go, the more the memories will come racing back.

Confronting Shame from Party Actions

00:02:52
Speaker
Take yourself to the party.
00:02:54
Speaker
Where was it?
00:02:56
Speaker
your friend Christian's house, a fraternity, maybe a Chuck E. Cheese, take yourself into that party.
00:03:09
Speaker
Float around the room like a balloon that slipped from a child's hand.
00:03:15
Speaker
Now watch yourself as you stand over the sink, pounding drink after drink.
00:03:24
Speaker
Follow your soul as you go outside to smoke a joint or take a whippet.
00:03:32
Speaker
Inhale again, and as you do, feel the smoke from that joint or the nitrous from that whippet filling your lungs.
00:03:40
Speaker
Remember that feeling as it flows throughout your body, taking you on a journey all the way to the moon.
00:03:51
Speaker
As you continue to breathe,
00:03:54
Speaker
Familiarize yourself with that beautiful conscious state of being.
00:03:59
Speaker
Totally high, but totally in charge.
00:04:04
Speaker
You are perfect.
00:04:08
Speaker
You want another drink, but you don't need it.
00:04:14
Speaker
Now the thoughts come.
00:04:16
Speaker
Why did you wake up wet?
00:04:19
Speaker
Wearing someone else's clothes?
00:04:23
Speaker
Why do you have 37 missed calls from the host of the party?
00:04:29
Speaker
Follow yourself as you take off your clothes, paying zero attention to everyone around you, telling you to please not do that.
00:04:38
Speaker
You do not want to be this person.
00:04:42
Speaker
Watch as you pour lighter fluid all over your clothing and proceed to light a match.
00:04:49
Speaker
Was this a political statement or were you just fucked up?
00:04:54
Speaker
and in need of attention because mommy never gave enough to you.
00:04:59
Speaker
It's all coming back.
00:05:01
Speaker
Jumping in the pool naked, spreading eagle and pushing a cocktail weenie into your butt.

Advice on Mindful Drinking and Closure

00:05:08
Speaker
Sure, at the time it seemed like good fun, but looking back, you were not the life of the party.
00:05:17
Speaker
Remember this feeling of shame.
00:05:20
Speaker
It's okay to live in this discomfort, if only for a moment to remind yourself why it might be time to cut back on the drinking, the boozing, the schmoozing.
00:05:32
Speaker
One and done.
00:05:34
Speaker
That's enough.
00:05:36
Speaker
One drink and done.
00:05:37
Speaker
One and done.
00:05:38
Speaker
Or two and make do.
00:05:41
Speaker
But three, you are no longer free.
00:05:45
Speaker
It's not a contest.
00:05:47
Speaker
Just by being there.
00:05:49
Speaker
With your whole being, you've already won.
00:05:54
Speaker
Now come back to this place of solace.
00:05:58
Speaker
Forgive yourself and tell yourself, you are enough.
00:06:06
Speaker
Goddamn, that was a fucking great party.
00:06:14
Speaker
But all of life is a party.
00:06:18
Speaker
Remember that as you proceed on this week.
00:06:23
Speaker
And please follow me on social media at HooperHair.
00:06:29
Speaker
I'm doing lots of new things on there.
00:06:32
Speaker
Lots of new things and announcing tons of shows.
00:06:35
Speaker
So get ready, everyone.
00:06:37
Speaker
I am at peace.
00:06:39
Speaker
And I hope you join me.
00:06:41
Speaker
I'll see you next week.
