This week Sid talks to one of the biggest and brightest stars in country music – Lainey Wilson. Back in May, he drove up to Nashville and got to have this conversation in person at Lainey’s farmhouse outside of town. The occasion was a Southern Living cover shoot, and Lainey and Sid sat down on a pair of comfortable chairs in her speakeasy-style basement, which is where she writes a lot of her songs. Lainey couldn’t have been more welcoming as a host, even though she’d been touring nonstop for her latest album, Whirlwind . She’s also hosting the CMA Awards in mid-November, and she’s appearing in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel Reminders of Him early next year. But Lainey has clearly not forgotten her small-town roots in Baskin, Louisiana, or the importance of good friends, family, and her faith. She talked a lot about how she stays grounded, how she keeps holding on despite a wild few years in Nashville, and the importance of keeping her people close. She also told some funny stories about her fiance, Devlin Hodges, who goes by Duck, and how she and her family celebrate Thanksgiving.

Exploring the Sacred Masculine 53:21

منذ 1 day53:21

53:21

Last week’s meditation guided us to lean into the inner feminine, which is the receptor of light and connector with the subtle realms. Living from the feminine is key to living in communion with Source. This week we explore the sacred nature of the inner masculine and how the inner feminine and masculine can synchronize to bring the light into the world through your actions.

Lean into Your Inner Feminine to Commune with Source 39:00

منذ 10 أيام39:00

39:00

Last week’s meditation focused on ascension and recognizing ourselves as light beings in bodies being light in the physical realm, rather than physical beings in a dense world trying to find the light. One key to this is leaning into your inner feminine, which is the receptor of light and connector with the subtle realms. Living from the feminine is key to living in communion with Source – and then the inner feminine and masculine can synchronize to bring the light into the world through your actions. (We’ll focus on the masculine side next week.) Listen to this healing meditation to tap into the channel of your inner feminine to commune with source energy, receiving divine light and whatever is waiting to infuse into your conscious body.

We. Must. Ascend. 53:16

منذ 16 يومًا53:16

53:16

This earth plane is a place of great beauty and light, and it also contains immense darkness. The human body is also a vessel of great beauty and light, and it can be dense and contain shadows and blind spots. As the consciousness of our world rapidly evolves, we are faced with an overwhelming number of choices to make on a daily basis - not just about day-to-day activities, but about where our values and loyalties truly lie. What do you believe in? Who are you? How do you want to align your consciousness to ascend to a state of unity? Living in a state of unity means you identify more as a soul/light being with a body than a body that might have a soul or spiritual connection somewhere. It means living with a deep inner knowing of your core light connection with Source above all else. Listen to this Meditation & Healing Circle for a transformative experience. We must ascend.

These are turbulent times. You might feel helpless or have difficulty knowing what, if anything, you can do. To access guidance, we need space to connect with the still voice within.

As you connect with this light, you’ll feel the gentle warmth of love as the divine remembrance fills your being.

This is a replay of a webinar that was held live earlier this year. The interactive parts that include participant voices have been deleted, so some transitions may sound a little choppy. However, I believe you will still appreciate what is shared. This webinar series was held to support the release of my new book - Fear, Food, and Feminine Power: A Sacred Pathway of Transformational Healing . The book is scheduled to be released on November 4th, 2025. If you are seeing this before that date, join us to celebrate the launch on November 4th - live via Zoom. We'll have a few readings, guest speakers, interactive discussions, and special giveaways! https://CommunityforConsciousLiving.com/Launch If you want to get started now, we have a free gift for you: 5 Subconscious Beliefs that Hold You Back - and keep you looping in patterns of discontent. https://FearFoodFemininePower.com/5Beliefs In this webinar, I held the pole of the angry person who does not want to see our country repeating mistakes of the past, and does not want to see women taken back to the times when struggles were harder than they are now. The overall exploration is around the role of the feminine and masculine to create harmony and peace as we move through these times of transition.

Releasing Fear of Judgment When It Feels Like Everyone Is Watching 50:30

منذ 5 weeks50:30

50:30

These days, it seems as if every move you make could be watched, weighed, and silently judged. It can feel like life is one long performance, whether for the benefit of others or for your own protection. It creates a subtle tension in your body, a hesitation before taking action or speaking your truth — it’s the residue of a media-driven world that taught you to earn belonging by being pleasing, careful, or perfect. This healing meditation invites you to let go of the armor, to breathe into the places that tighten when you feel seen, to release the old, protective patterns that keep you performing instead of simply *being.* Listen to this episode to dissolve the fear of judgment and return to the quiet safety of your own presence — where authenticity feels natural and self-acceptance becomes effortless. Here, you are not performing. You are home in yourself. Mark your calendar to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

You cannot steer the vehicle if you are not in the driver's seat. And you cannot make the wisest decisions if you are not connected to your higher self. This Meditation & Healing Circle focuses on a sound healing practice to connect with your highest self, elevate your energy, and embody your higher frequency. NOTE: I'm changing the post schedule for these episodes. I'll be posting the recordings of the weekly Sunday Meditation & Healing Circle on Tuesdays - a full week later than the live call. (I have been posting on Sundays right after the call. I'm choosing to give more time for processing and posting the calls.)

Receiving Divine Forgiveness: Key to Restoring a Devastated Heart 50:34

منذ 8 weeks50:34

50:34

Do you ever find yourself caught in the trap of trying to get things right, asking, “Why aren’t things working out for me? I’ve tried and prayed and even begged. What am I doing wrong?” I believe we all have at some point. It’s devasting! But what we often find is that we get so caught up in believing we need to do something to earn the outcome or reward or grace that we seek. And then when we look deeper, we find the voice inside that says, “You could never do enough to earn it, because you are not worthy of it. You are not enough.” But the heart still yearns, so we send out stronger pleas! We work harder to prove that we are not that defective, broken persona we are trying to overcome. We are more than that! We’ve put in the personal work to improve ourselves. Shouldn’t we be seeing better results by now? But what about that defective persona? Has she truly healed? Have you forgiven her, and has she received forgiveness? I mean the ultimate healing of divine forgiveness? Divine forgiveness is always present, waiting for us to receive it and ultimately forgive ourselves. This is a key to true healing – a healing which restores a devastated heart and lifts us to higher vibrations. This is the topic of this Meditation & Healing Circle. Listen for a restorative healing at the cellular level. You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

Finding Reasons to Hold onto Hope 35:24

منذ 9 weeks35:24

35:24

In today’s divided world, it seems unlikely that we can work out our differences. We’re up against an extensive, sophisticated machine that seeks to separate people into opposing factions, while sparking hatred, anger, and blame. When violence escalates and fires rage, it can be hard to hold onto hope. But we must. Each of us has some reason to believe in a brighter future – a world of love, compassion, and mutual respect. I used to work with a woman who said she had made a list of all the things she loved about her husband, and when things got tough, she would pull out that list. She would recite these things in her mind until she reconnected with her heart’s desire to keep going. These were her reasons to hold onto hope until they could work out their differences. The first reasons on my list are my great-nieces and great-nephews. I want nothing more than to see them live healthy and fulfilling lives, to develop their gifts, to find love, and to explore the beauty of this planet. When I feel myself losing hope, I start listing their names, the hopes I have for them, and specific ways I wish to be a guiding force in their lives. This is the beginning, and I know there are even more reasons I can discover when I look within. What are your reasons? Have you made a list? It's a valuable tool, becoming ever more necessary to have at the ready. Listen to this Meditation & Healing Circle for a guided introspection into the depths of your heart to discover your reasons to hold onto hope. Get a pen and paper so you can make a list.

Finding Secure Footing amidst Shifting Sands 50:15

منذ 11 weeks50:15

50:15

When your world is profoundly shifting, it can be difficult to trust that a supportive and stable foundation will emerge. On one hand, spiritually, a seeker aspires to surrender to the impermanence of life and trust in divine flow. On the other, she strives to hold strong to values and convictions and to stand for what is in the highest and for the greater good of all. What is moving around you and within you? Are you faced with choices, feeling called to make a splash or guided to surrender to the flow? The journey of life is a dance that we are dancing together. We are here to support each other through the full range of experiences. Listen to this healing meditation to explore the effects of the shifting sands beneath your feet, to find your inner guidance, your balance of conviction and surrender, new rhythms, new foundations, or whatever you are guided to in these changing times.

Accessing Inner Stability: Be the Mountain 49:30

منذ 12 weeks49:30

49:30

There is a saying in the Qur’an that says that when God created the Earth, she was shaking, so He set down the mountains to make her stable. Geologically speaking, when the tectonic plates of the Earth were moving, they crashed against each other, edges crumbling and lifting each other up until the movement stopped, forming the marvelous, majestic mountains. Our hearts are wired to sense the awe and majesty of the mountain ranges, to be swept away and inspired by their beauty. We feel the calming nature of stability when we sit at their base. It begs the question, when the foundations of your world are shaking, and instability appears to set the pieces on a collision course, do you too have the power to become the mountain? Can you sense the qualities of the mountains inside yourself and stabilize the forces that move through you as you witness instability around you? Can you be like the mountains to the Earth, firm and stable squelching her fears? Listen for a guided meditation to access your inner stability and be the mountain for the earth of your own existence.

Are you wrestling with the paralysis of fear? Almost everyone I talk to lately seems to be stifled by the uncertainty of the current situation and what the future holds. We’re in challenging times. This is all the more reason to bring forth your brilliance, vibrance, and your best self. You need the presence of your inner light, and so does the world. Even when the fears are justified, you can still rise above. It doesn’t mean denying what is happening or abandoning those who are suffering. It means being in the highest vibration of your authenticity and sincerity. This is the spiritual weapon to counter the forces that seek to weaken, divide, and conquer. As Maya Angelou said, “You may not control all the events that happens to you, but you can refuse to be reduced by them.” Listen to this Meditation & Healing Circle for a guided process to access and embody your brilliant light. Let your inner awesome shine and lift the vibration of your world. You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

Setting Boundaries to Protect Your Heart, Not Suppress Your Voice 47:13

منذ 14 weeks47:13

47:13

Sometimes we need to set boundaries to protect our hearts. Many of my friends are needing to turn off the news and disconnect from what is happening in our country. It’s a lot to process. It hurts the tender places inside. And if we are losing friends and disagreeing with family members in the process, it hurts even more. So many of us are retreating and shutting down so we don’t have to feel. The purpose of setting boundaries is to create a safe space where we can be true to ourselves and flourish. How can we protect ourselves without suppressing ourselves? Without closing our hearts, suppressing our voices, and stifling our self-expression. Today we are going to begin with giving some love and compassion to the place inside that hurts. Listen to this episode to tap into the inner wisdom and guidance, and allow stability to grow from within, forming a pillar of strength and trust.

The Courage to Evolve 50:24

منذ 17 weeks50:24

50:24

What does it mean to evolve? Our modern-day meaning is "to develop gradually from a simple to a more complex form." But we are complex creatures living totally convoluted lives! Perhaps we need to take this term back to it's Latin origin: "volvere" which means "to roll" with the "e" meaning "out of" -- to roll out of the complex chaotic states that make our bodies and our planet sick and return to a more simplistic life-generating existence. But that would mean letting go of many of the constructs we've created that give us a sense of safety - and some fulfillment - and returning to the earth for sustenance and nurturance. It would mean letting go of grudges and resentments we hold and embracing love and compassion. It would mean that we stop morphing ourselves to meet the expectations of the world and live and BE true to our nature. We are nature - not separate. It takes a lot of courage to let go into true evolution. This is what explore in this Meditation & Healing Circle.

This week we continue our deep dive through the Elements with the element of Fire: The Flame of Purification. This is where you find the sweetness when you call on your Source in times of constriction. We use the Sacred Sounds of the Elemental Globes and Divine Names to invoke the purifying sounds and frequencies so that the imprints on your psyche that are incongruent with who you are can be released and the flame of your core light remains. This episode guides you to find strength in the embrace of Divine Compassion. It guides you to feel this strength to the core of your bones, and to merge strength of spirit with strength of body. It then guides you to travel to the center of your heart to commune with your Source, especially when the world is in constriction -- the answers you seek and the place of peace can be found within when you call to your Source. This is where you find the sweetness, and when the constriction has lifted and your being expands, this sweetness fills your body of consciousness.

This week we embark on a 5-week deep dive through the Elements. Contrary to my nature – we are not going to cover all of the elements in one session. We’ll dive into one each week. We begin this week with Part 1 - Ether: The Light of Truth. We tap into the inner light that is your core consciousness - the Higher Light within you. We use the Sacred Sounds of the Elemental Globes to feel the radiance and immerse into the light of truth that anchors you, that you are here to BE. As a microcosm of the macrocosm, we call on the Light of God, An-Nur Illahi, to connect with the divine light within at the center of the heart. I share readings from a book written by my spiritual teacher: Music of the Soul, by Sufi master and guide, Shaykh Muhammad Sa’id al-Jamal ar-Rafa’i as-Shadhuli. (Sidi Muhammad Press, 1994, 1997, 2002) Listen to this episode to connect with your inner divine light and BE the light you are here to be in the world.

Nurturing the Nurturer: How to Receive Divine Nurturing 47:36

منذ 27 weeks47:36

This is a perfect Mother’s Day message – it’s about nurturing the nurturer. Receiving the Nurturing from the infinite, eternal, ever-present Source. You're probably in the habit of nurturing others. It's what we do. But when times get tough, we need our own nurturing. We need to be nurtured. We need space to be present, to allow it in, and to feel it. Just like unconditional love, nurturing is a divine force that we can call on and receive. It comforts and heals us. It restores our strength. It is transformative. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we invoke the Divine Power of the Nurturer (Ya Rabb) and receive the healing love from the Ultimate Healer.

The Feminine Connection with our Bodies and Earth 44:50

منذ 28 weeks44:50

44:50

As women, we are somatic creatures. We are meant to be connected with our bodies and with the earth. When we are not present in our bodies and connected to our senses, our programmed conditioned not-self behaviors take over. In other words, when we are not in our vehicles, in the driver's seat with hands on the steering wheel and eyes on the road, we cannot navigate the twists and turns of our path. The car will likely crash. So, what does it mean to be a somatic creature? When we are not in an embodied experience, what happens? We rely on the crutches that bring comfort for the discontent - emotional eating, buying things we don't need, seeking unhealthy relationships, or we have difficulty expressing ourselves. We are not seen or perceived as the powerful creative beings that we are, because we are not grounded in our true selves. In this episode, I'm joined by Camela Widad, a musician and performing songwriter, powerful intuitive healer and coach, for a revealing and enlightening conversation.

Anger, Righteousness, and Conscious Action 50:56

منذ 30 weeks50:56

There is a lot happening right now for which anger is a natural response. Anger is a motivator; it can inspire us to take much-needed action. However, anger is not always the best place to act from. If you are uncomfortable with anger, you might find yourself stifling the emotion and abandoning the needed action altogether. You might feel that it's safer to do nothing than risk the danger that might come from anger. But what if there is a valid reason for the anger, a righteous cause that you want to defend? What if there is an action you are inspired to take that can contribute to change that can have a positive impact? Something that will make a difference for you and those you care about? In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we sit with those things that are sparking anger and allow the inner voices to unfold so we can hear what the heart most desires - the divine inspiration that is calling from within you. Is there a conscious action you are called to take? How can you move with it in the most authentic and effective way for you?

Breaking Free from Gender-based Expectations 51:57

منذ 30 weeks51:57

As a young mathematician, I was told over and over again that women were not good at math. Yet my test scores proved otherwise. In my high-tech career, my achievements were diminished and uncompensated as I was told repeatedly that "women do not make it here." And yet I held my own and then some. Where do our gender expectations come from? More importantly, are they accurate for you? At some level, we are all imprinted with societal expectations of gender and pressured to conform to the "norms." While some traits may be of feminine or masculine archetypes, our gifts and talents are not confined to gender. And regardless of physical body, there is no such thing as 100% female or 100% male. We each have many aspects of ourselves, some of which lean toward a feminine archetype and some toward a masculine. No two humans are identical; we all land somewhere along a spectrum. The important thing is to find your unique blend and be YOU - regardless of what kind of body you live in or what anyone has told you is acceptable for you. Listen to this Meditation & Healing Circle to cleanse yourself of the pressures to conform to societal norms that do not fit and give yourself the freedom to land into the synthesis of your unique innate blend.

Could you be eating to cover shame? 59:15

Do you eat when you are not hungry? Could you be eating to cover shame? The nature of shame is to hide - it doesn't want to be seen. When we are still and things get quiet, that old hidden shame from the past starts to surface and we feel agitated. It could be from our past, it could be ancestral, or it could be that innate programming that so many of us are born with - listen for more about the innate programming. Most times, we don't even understand the source of our feelings - it just happens. Shame is challenging to recognize because it is good at remaining concealed. It can be tricky, In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we are going to gently, lovingly, bring some witnessing to this master hider so it can no longer control us from behind the curtain and we can regain control over our eating habits and choices. And we can reclaim the inner beauty that has been stifled underneath. You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

Working Hard to Prove Your Worth 51:23

منذ 32 weeks51:23

51:23

When something comes up 3 times in the same week, I take that as a sign to address it with the group. The issue is feeling undervalued at work and working so hard to prove yourself that you are near collapse, and you are still overlooked. You are not getting support you need because you feel like asking for help would be admitting you are not capable, even though you are often doing the work of three people. Or if you are in your own business, you might be giving too much away and not getting the sales you need to sustain the business. So you work harder and give away more! I thought of this as historically a women's issue, because when I was in corporate, I was one of 3-6 women in a department of 80, and it was very much a good ol' boys club where women were clearly not welcomed. However, one of the people I spoke with this week was a man. When you have been classified as not fitting the mold, or maybe it’s the budget, no amount of effort is going to prove them wrong because there is no lack of proof, it's a misperception of truth. Well, here's another truth. You are not defined by the rules of their club. Your value cannot be diminished by their non-acceptance. No one can take away your inner power and strength. Listen to this episode to bring healing to this wound of being undervalued and rejected after trying so hard to prove yourself. Connect with the inner truth and allow it to emerge.

Let Your Inner Power Emerge 56:47

There is a divine force of Power itself that runs through all of existence and manifests in many ways. And there is a place where that Divine Power penetrates you to live, express, and manifest through you. This Power meets and merges with your ego nature to become your inner power. This is where you have choice and responsibility for how you engage with Divine Power and use it hopefully for the greater good. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we tap into the force of Divine Power that moves through all things, receive it, and allow it to be activated within our beings – it is already there. Where this power meets the lower ego nature, we bring purification and witness the emerging of the Divine Power from within. Divine Names used in this meditation: Al-Qadir: The Powerful, The Capable; The Divine Power that runs through all things. Al-Muqtadir: The One Who has power; The One Who determines everything; The divine power that is integrated into the human being.

Spring Equinox Reiki Healing: The Power of Air 1:02:02

In this Meditation, our friend Ruha Cathy Delwiche guides us on a Holy Fire Reiki Journey to explore and integrate the healing power of Air. Air is the quality associated with the direction East, the rising sun, and the Spring Equinox. The Spring Equinox is the beginning of the agricultural year and the time when the Earth awakens. It is an excellent time for us to initiate and celebrate new beginnings. This year, the Spring Equinox was March 20, 2025, so we are a few days past the actual day light and dark were in perfect balance. The energy is still available for us to use and so we will! Our Journey of discovery brings the quality of Air into full focus – we take flight with the Golden Eagle, the highest flying of all birds, and visit each of the cardinal directions and be gifted the quality most representative of that direction. In the North, the gift of KNOW; in the West, the gift of WISDOM; in the South, the gift of CHOICES; and returning to the East, the gift of ILLUMINATION. We will meditate on integrating each of these qualities as revealed in the following affirmation: We KNOW the WISDOM of our CHOICES enhances the ILLUMINATION of our soul. If possible, before your journey, collect a few feathers – they can be collected from the ground outside, a birdcage, or even purchased at the store. We will be empowering the feathers with our intention, and after our journey is complete, we will take our feathers outside and attach them to a low-hanging branch or other structure as an offering to the Spirit of Air. If you are not able to collect some feathers, this is OK – you can use your mind’s eye to do the process for you.

I have a book that is set to launch in the next month, pre-launch opens this week. It is called Fear, Food, and Feminine Power. I started writing it 8 years ago which feels like a long time, but it turns out the timing is perfect. Women have long held a generalized vibration of fear, feeling unsafe in their bodies. Many of us use food as a crutch to self-soothe, and we wrestle with a body that portrays the struggle inside and out. The book offers step-by-step guidance to heal old wounds and access the sacred feminine power and strength from within. It is a guide to embody a deep transformation. It turns out the current political and social situation is bringing up the same issues, and the answer is the same. We have a sacred inner power that no one can take away from us, and it reaches into every aspect of our lives. It is time for us to rise, own this power, embody it, and live it. It is what will turn this story around. And our time is now! In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we will call forth the sacred power from within and embody this strength that is needed now.

Healing from Victim Blaming 55:37

منذ 38 weeks55:37

55:37

Have you ever been a victim of an attack or abuse and then been blamed for your own attack? Or unjustly scrutinized? Victim blaming is something many of us, especially women, have been conditioned to hold. Now we are seeing this in the firing of government employees given a justification of performance or lack when this is not the reason for their termination. We're seeing it in the way DEI hires are blamed for government waste and overspending. We are seeing this in the blaming of wars. And we are seeing it in the way women's rights are being stripped. If you have not experienced or are not experiencing it yourself, you have undoubtedly witnessed it happening to others, and the impact of that witnessing affects all of us and our choices. Victim blaming stifles our voices, keeps us from speaking up, keeps us in hiding and disconnected from our own truth and light. It puts a heavy energetic burden on the person who is the subject of blame. But, no matter what ever happens to any of us, we still have a power inside of us that cannot be snuffed out, one that no one can take away from us. We can reclaim it and embody it. We can live our sacred strengths. This is the topic of this Meditation & Healing Circle. Listen to this episode for an empowering healing experience.

Moving Beyond Constriction: Elevating Your Consciousness in Times of Turmoil 58:32

With all of the turmoil we are in right now, it’s important to remember what we do have, what we can do, and to focus on elevating our frequencies so we can stay aligned with our truth. We have been talking for a while now about ascension into a world of peace. Meanwhile, we’re in the storm. So how can we weather the storm while staying focused on evolution and elevation? This is the focus of this Meditation & Healing Circle. We call on Divine Powers of Contraction and Release to help us release the trauma responses from the body and use the constriction to turn to Source to draw us into the love, compassion, and healing, and reach the higher frequencies we desire to embody. We call on the Divine Power of Elevation to elevate our consciousness to a new state that encompasses the variations of contraction and expansion so we can contain the highs and lows as we continue to move forward into higher elevations of consciousness.

Recovering from Cultural Conditioning 55:47

How much of your persona and habitual behaviors are influenced by cultural conditioning? How much of this conditioning is counter to your true essence? Society imprints so many expectations on us – what we believe, how we speak, how we dress and wear our hair, who we hang out with, what we eat, and the social and political ideologies we identify with. The influences can be so subtle that we don’t even realize we are losing ourselves. But suddenly, we find we have lost our connection with our hearts, our sincerity, our love and compassion for others, our caring for the creatures of the earth, and our stewardship of the planet that is our source of sustenance – of life-breath. It is challenging to unhook from cultural conditioning and embody our true selves. We must heal our wounds, release limiting beliefs, and embrace our inherent worth beyond external validation. This means dismantling internalized narratives that keep us small and reclaiming our authentic sincerity. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we sit in self-inquiry, listening with self-compassion and self-acceptance, to break free from cultural programming that is not our truth and embrace the full expression of who we truly are.

Releasing Unexplained Fears 55:24

منذ 41 weeks55:24

55:24

This meditation targets the underlying generalized sense of fear. It focuses on releasing unexplained fear so we can be more present with current life events and make clearer judgments and decisions. There is a lot of fear in the air waves right now, and much of it can be explained and justified. However, there is an underlying fear that resides in the nervous system that gets amped up when the present dangers arise. These fears come from our own past or from our ancestors or from the general vibration of the cosmic soup we swim in. The more nebulous, unexplained fear makes it difficult to access clarity and determine the best path forward in the moment. If we are not careful, we will internalize the present fear, allowing it to seep into our nervous systems and compound the baseline fear energies we carry. This drags down the general vibration at a time when we need to uplift our frequencies as much as we can. Listen to this meditation to target the underlying generalized sense of fear and focus on releasing unexplained fear so you can be more present with current life events and make clearer judgments and decisions.

Dr. Bessel van der Kolk wrote the brilliant book The Body Keeps the Score . Your body holds the story of your life journey and gives you keys to healing. But your body is not limited to the effects of your past. It is still evolving with you as you write the next pages and chapters of your life. If you have ever looked in a mirror and not like what you've seen, or if you disconnect from your body in order to push through day-to-day, or you disregard your physical self-care, it's time to reconnect and acknowledge your body as your friend - your best friend - traveling this journey with you, experiencing this life alongside you in partnership, learning, evolving, and growing with you. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we make our way home to ourselves to reconnect with our bodies in friendship, kindness, love, and partnership and set a course to evolve and grow together, strengthening the relationship along the way. Listen to this episode to travel through 7 keys to develop a healthy relationship between your conscious body and your physical body.

Finding Your Way through Society's Mixed Messages 48:21

منذ 44 weeks48:21

Our culture pushes us to identify with labels that tell us how we’re supposed to believe, look, and act: What does it mean to be a woman? A man? Nonbinary? A teenager? An adult? A parent? A liberal? A conservative? Independent? A professional [fill in the blank]? What’s your stereotype? What pictures do you fit in? The messages are full of double standards that are impossible to meet. You’re damned if you do and damned if you don't fit the pictures. This is society’s double bind. It can be challenging in any role or stage of life to stay true to your heart and your integrity and honor your truth. And if it's hard for us adults, just think about how it must be for our children. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we focus on gaining clarity around the identities we fall into and the messages that condition us. We seek to release the imprints that do not fit for us and find our own way that aligns with our personal integrity. This meditation is for us personally, and also for us to get clarity on how to speak with our younger folks about the conundrums they face so we can help them find and honor what is true for them. Our younger adults and children have strong truth meters and highly attuned BS detectors. We want to support them to honor what is real for them so they can be equipped as our future leaders that will guide us into an era of peace and sustainability.

A Virtual Burning Bowl Ritual 57:51

منذ 45 weeks57:51

57:51

In the Q&A after last Sunday's Meditation & Healing Circle, I had a request to do a Virtual Burning Bowl ritual. So that is what we are going to do today. Get a pen, paper, and a bowl, then press play. You do not need to use real fire - I personally like ripping up the papers by hand. A burning bowl ritual is where you write onto scraps of paper the things you want to release – unhealthy habits, beliefs, emotional patterns, relationships, jobs, financial situations – and then you ceremoniously cleanse them from your being, burning them in a safe bowl or tearing them up or shredding them, letting them release into the ethers to be transmuted or returned to their rightful place. In this meditation, we purge out what we do not want to carry forward from 2024 into 2025, and then we take it a step further. We connect with the bright and powerful parts of ourselves that we've disconnected from, cleanse them, and welcome them back in to integrate into our embodied selves. To heal means to make whole. Bring a pen, paper, and a bowl or trash bin where you can safely dispose of the papers – you do not need to use actual fire – and press play on this week's Meditation & Healing Circle. You can get your copy of the workbook, Bridging the Gaps: A Journey to the Center of Your Self, at http://bridgingthegapsworkbook.com Hint - this recording came from a request from a live participant. Join us live and your request may become the next episode. We record the Meditation & Healing Circle LIVE every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

When to Hold On to Intentions (and when to let them go) 57:02

Did you have intentions for 2024 that were not manifested? Maybe obstacles kept getting in your way, or maybe you just didn't get to it yet, or maybe you changed your mind. But the question inevitably comes up: should I hold onto this intention and keep trying or should I let it go and move on? It's not always easy to know if it's meant to be, but we have two Divine Names, divine powers that can help us determine when something needs a bit more time for gestation and when it is ready to move forward. I explain in the meditation why we use these names as mantras. I’ll list them here so you reference them during the meditation: Al-Mu’akhkhir, The One Who holds back, to hold back and let it gestate before acting on it Al-Muqaddim, The One Who moves forward We also call on two other Divine Names which represent the cycle of death and birth or rebirth: Al-Mumit, The Bringer of Death, ending, closure Al-Muhyi, The Giver of Life, regenerative life force Listen to this episode to seek insights into what is best to carry forward, what is best to let rest for a while longer, and what is best to let go of altogether.

Winter Solstice Reiki Journey: Whole Body Listening 55:06

Yesterday was our Winter Solstice, and today, our friend Ruha Cathy Delwiche will be leading us on a Holy Fire Karuna Reiki journey called "Whole Body Listening." This is the time of darkness – we will experience the shortest period of daylight and the longest period of darkness. This is a time of release and transformation – we use the available energies to release old habits, negative thought forms, and limiting beliefs. And just as the darkness must give way and change into the Light, we too can be ‘reborn’ into the new Light and experience the rebirth of our Soul as the Great Wheel turns. We replace outdated ideas with new patterns of feelings, new ways of being – seeds carefully planted to manifest themselves at the proper time. Ruha Cathy's Reiki journeys are always super healing and transformative. Enjoy your journey!

This one turned out to be a deep healing, more than I had originally expected. Sometimes in order to fully receive and integrate the gifts, we need to forgive ourselves for our perceived mistakes or shortcomings. That happened. Then we can receive the knowledge, intellect, and wisdom from our experiences, elevating our frequencies and expanding consciousness. That happened too. As we lift our vibrations, we stand on the new elevation as we look toward the new year. Enjoy this healing meditation, and consider joining us live this coming Sunday.

Reflecting on Personal Growth in 2024 49:07

Can you believe it is already December? Again? It's a good time to reflect on this past year to take into account what you have accomplished and what you have received. We are all in a time of immense personal growth whether we realize it or not. What growth has developed within you? What has changed for you over the past year? The Great Sufi Shaykh, Muhyiddin Ibn Al-'Arabi said: "Intention gives meaning to your actions." "Interpretation gives meaning to your life." What interpretation can you give to your experiences? What meaning does that give to your life? There is always something to be grateful for - and when we take the time, we can see it, feel it, and flourish in the grace of it. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we reflect on this past year, our intentions and personal experiences, and we follow the journey to the center of your self to discover what this tells you about who you are. We follow the CARITAS Healing Process to assimilate this inner knowing to all layers of your being.

Righteousness as a Feminine Strength 57:18

منذ 50 weeks57:18

Have you ever spoken up in a powerful way about something you believe to be true that does not agree with popular opinion and been called bitchy, whiny, complaining? Most women know what I'm talking about, but this may apply to men too – in fact, I hope you will all benefit from this healing. As I've been preparing to publish my book, Fear, Food, and Feminine Power, I've received a message to lean into righteousness as a feminine strength. Righteousness means morally correct, justifiable, upright, and virtuous. It is standing strong for what we feel is the right thing to do, often in the face of injustice. We have the hormone vasopressin, the mama tiger hormone, that gives us the power to defend those we love against threats. We need to embrace that power, stand strong, and not be silenced by gaslighting. This is the focus of this Meditation & Healing Circle. Listen to this episode for an empowering healing experience.

Keeping Your Faith Regardless of Outcome 57:59

منذ 51 weeks57:59

57:59

Sometimes when we want something really bad, we say, “I trust... I trust… I trust…” when what we really mean is “I hope… I hope… I hope…” We are praying for a specific outcome that we want, and then if that outcome does not come to pass, we lose trust. Then we find ourselves saying, “How can I trust in a God that would allow this…?” And then we lose hope, and if we’re not careful, we find ourselves spiraling in negativity that reinforces our fears. We say to ourselves, “See, I was right!” We love to be validated. But to validate fears and visions of doom is counterproductive if we truly care about our future and the future of our planet. We must find our faith, muster our positive energy, and see a way forward that uplifts our frequency and the frequency of the planet. This is the focus of this Meditation & Healing Circle.

Here in the Northern Hemisphere, now is the time of harvest and preparing for the winter months. This is a period of reflection and beginning to turn inward to explore our inner landscape. It is the perfect time of year to experience the divine attributes of the Earth as reflected in our own divinity. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, our friend Ruha Cathy Delwiche will guide you on a Reiki journey, where you can experience the life force of the earth – the primal life energy, providing sustenance and vitality to all living beings. You can immerse yourself in remembering your interconnectedness – everything on earth is interconnected and every element is related to and influences one another. Embrace the divine within, and recognize that the divine qualities revealed by Mother Earth are already present within you. As your true nature is revealed, you cultivate greater peace, love, and purpose in life. By embracing this inner divinity, you access a source of strength, wisdom, and peace that enriches every aspect of your life. There will be periods of silence for you to write about your experience as you reflect upon what your energies are currently focused on. Within this area of focus, you ask yourself the question: what is the one thing that you can do, that if you do it, everything else becomes easier or unnecessary?

One thing our US election showed clearly is that the feminine and masculine dynamics are really skewed. The truth of feminine and masculine power is not understood.

Restoring Self-Trust 44:23

When we make mistakes, we can lose faith in ourselves, but self-trust can be restored. Mistakes are inevitable, but when they are accompanied by embarrassment, humiliation, shame, or guilt, they can install this roadblock and warning sign that says "Don't ever go down this road again!" We're left feeling like we can't trust ourselves, and we drive through life with one foot on the gas and one foot on the brakes at all times. That passion we once felt for life dampens. The inner spark gets dimmed by all the walls we put around it. But that spark is still there, and it can be revived as you restore trust in yourself.

Purging Identification with Food Habits & Customs 51:32

منذ 1 year51:32

51:32

We all have those life-defining moments. They lodge images, feelings, and beliefs into our cellular consciousness that we identify with until we do enough healing to dislodge. We also have similar identifications with food, most of which are deeply embedded into the psyche, and many of which cause disharmony and disease in the body and the planet. We are imprinted with cultural beliefs, customs, traditions, and habits with food that become a part of our identity - and these often times do not align with the laws of nature in which our bodies and our planet are designed to thrive. Our relationship with food is the most important thing we can shift to foster healing and sustainability for our planet and peace in our world. In last Sunday's Meditation & Healing Circle, we did a process where we purged from our cellular consciousness the identifications with old wounds and anchored into that connection with our core light so that our core light becomes what we identify with. In today's Meditation & Healing Circle, we do a similar process around our relationship with food and those cultural and familial identities with food that keep us from living according to the laws of nature that sustain us and the planet. Listen to this episode to realign your consciousness so together we can create a sustainable environment and a peaceful world. Please share this with others - it takes a mass effort to effect this much-needed change. You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

Well, the spark that inspired that dream in the first place is still inside you, and you can tap into it now. You might not be able to express it in the way you could have when you were in a younger body, but there are certain qualities and characteristics that it wants to bring forth from within you that can give you a sense of fulfillment.

Lessons & Blessings from Living with My Father - Part 3: Patience with Lesser-Abled Loved Ones 51:03

منذ 1 year51:03

51:03

Life gets busy. When our aging loved ones are slowing down, it can be challenging to dial back our pace to be present with them. The same is true when a spouse or friend becomes ill, or with our children, and especially with our parents – the folks that were yelling at us to hurry up when we were younger. Our minds might not be able to grasp what is happening when their bodies and minds are losing functionality. One thing that is super important is to meet them where they are, support them without taking over for them, and celebrate what they are able to do. They still have things that bring them joy and fulfillment. They just need a little assistance with the activities they like to do. But this doesn't mean they need us to do everything for them. If we do, we take away their autonomy and sense of accomplishment. As hard as it might be when our time is limited, it helps if we can resist the desire to take over and do for them the things they still want to be able to do - even if we can do it better or faster or with the latest tools and technology that is going to make it super cool. They still have value and capability, and if we can slow down and have patience with them, we can learn a lot from them – which helps them feel they are still valued as well. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we are working with our patience – slowing down our energy during the times we spend together. We open our hearts to see wisdom, beauty, and lessons in the old ways that may seem obsolete. We embrace the value in accepting and appreciating our elders and all the wisdom they have gained in their lives. By the way, Happy Father’s Day! This is the 3rd in a series of Blessings and Lessons from Living with My Father - keys to help us in our relationships with our parents, honoring our elderly, and in our personal growth.

Do you wonder what keeps some people sharp, active, and happy into their elder years? When I first moved in with my dad (now 101), I was surprised at some of the habits he had developed that filled his time. But then as I observed how he was living his life, I realized how he had masterfully embraced what he was still physically and mentally able to do. He was aging gracefully in his own way, keeping his mind sharp and his spirit joyful. It was a beautiful teaching. I soon dropped my judgments and found that when I joined him in this stream, my life became more joyful as well.

Today’s children and young adults are the future leaders and caretakers of the planet. As our planet’s environment and human consciousness are simultaneously rapidly evolving, our youth are coming in encoded with what they need to survive and thrive in an evolved world. Our current leaders and most adults are set in the old ways which have been destroying our planet, and we like to pressure the children to conform to these detrimental habits and continue the harmful systems. For the children to break from their encoding and conform to our unsustainable ways would crush our collective soul and destroy the planet. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, join us to pray for our children to have strength, wisdom, integrity, perseverance, patience, and all that is needed to transform our lifestyle and culture and hold the vibration that will bring about sustainability and peace. And for us, we ask to receive what we need to have the clarity and wisdom to understand, support, and guide them to do what they are here to do.

Healing Guilt from the Mother-Child Relationship 48:57

منذ 2 years48:57

Inherent in every mother-child relationship is guilt. As a parent, we worry if we did what was needed to give our children the best chance at living a successful and fulfilling life. As a child, we wonder if we did enough to make our parents proud and give them fulfillment as parents. When I was 24 years old, my mother passed away from cancer. I was a gifted child with enormous potential, yet I had wild rebellious streak. I know I fell short of her hopes and dreams for me, and I caused her heartache and grief in the process. When she became ill, I blamed myself for making her life so difficult. I was sure I had played a significant role in causing her illness. Years later, I heard one of my spiritual teachers speak of the Mother’s Guilt – a pain that every mother carries, always wondering if she did the right things for her children, or if she could have done better. The struggle goes both ways. This Sunday is Mother’s Day in the US, a perfect day to bring some gentle loving kindness and healing to these places of guilt for both mother and child, to release the patterns of guilt in the Mother-Child relationship.

Effective communications can make or break a relationship. This doesn't always mean effectively proving our points or being right or even perfect. I'm talking about listening with an open compassionate heart and a desire to mend your relationships. This authentically deepens the heart connection. It's more than a band-aid, it heals core wounds. If we truly care about our connection with someone, truly listening, as my teacher used to say, "with the ear of your heart" is most healing for both of you. This is our topic of this week's Meditation & Healing Circle. Listen in to release your defenses, center yourself, and communicate with an open heart to truly mend the relationships that are most important to you.

Sound Healing for Softening the Heart 50:25

منذ 2 years50:25

How about a spa day for your heart? Gentle healing sounds to soften the heart, release the blocks and barriers, and rest into the beauty and peace deep inside. In this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle, I’m going to share a sequence I did as a practicum when I was in Continuum Movement Teacher Training, and it got a high mark! It was very well received and people had deeply moving healing experiences. We've been working with healing trauma for the past few weeks – connecting with the earth, settling the nervous system, dropping in to embody your physical vessel – and now resting into the beauty at the depth of your heart.

Sacred Sound for Getting Back into Your Body 56:29

منذ 2 years56:29

56:29

The traumas of life can disconnect us from our bodies. When we experience a shock, we rebound out. We live from our heads, or we retreat inward or hide behind ourselves. We have trouble being our authentic selves in relationships or expressing our thoughts clearly in work environments. Sound vibration is really helpful for breaking up stuck energies to release old patterning and blocks from the body, and it's also helpful for getting yourself back into your body, connected with your core authentic self. There are specific sounds which can help us reconnect and anchor into our bodies, regardless of how long ago the traumas occurred. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we work with a sequence of Sacred Sounds to ground into our bodies and become the solid powerful presence that feels natural and on point with who we are meant to be.

Release Effects of Trauma using Sacred Sound 1:01:55

In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we focus on releasing the effects of trauma from the body. We use Sacred Sounds to open the throat and reclaim the voice. We release constriction from the upper chest, throat, jaw, face, and head, returning us to our original knowing of ourselves as beings of light. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month and Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Whether you have experienced traumas directly related to these topics or not, we all hold trauma responses in our nervous systems. With a national focus on such abuses, this is a good time to tap into the collective intentions and bring release and healing to those places that are wanting to let go. For the remainder of April, we'll be using Sacred Sound to release and heal old traumas and restore our hearts and nervous systems, so mark your calendar to join us each Sunday. Next week, April 21, we focus on coming back into the body, centering and grounding. Then on April 28, we focus on healing for the heart. So be sure to join us live on Sundays.

What Sacred Sound Tells Us about Our Role on this Planet 55:52

منذ 2 years55:52

55:52

What is our role on this planet in relation to other species? Answers are encoded within us, and Sacred Sound can awaken the inner knowledge. Humans are one of four main species, different from the others because we are caretakers of the planet. We are here to take care of this world and the other species that are also, like us, a part of this world. Of course, we know this in our bones – and we have a deep knowledge and wisdom that is encoded in our subtle energy bodies. Using Sacred Sound, we can connect with this inherent instinct and feel it within us, to help us embody and BE what we are here to bring to this planet. This is a really powerful exercise for us to consciously experience, especially at this crucial time for our planet – when so many species are dying off and the health of our planet is in question. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we call on Muhyiddin Ibn Al-'Arabi's Cosmology of Sound and the Emanation of Creation to help us tap into the vibrations that help us viscerally know our place and live into our role - in harmony - on this planet, our Mother Earth. Listen to this episode to feel and embody your connection to all species, yourself as a human, and the planet.

Is Moving beyond Old Wounds a Spiritual Bypass? 52:15

منذ 2 years52:15

52:15

Some people say that moving beyond old wounds before they are healed is a spiritual bypass. They believe you cannot move beyond until you have healed. Yet, the life journey is a continual process of healing. So how can you be your authentic self while you're in the process? We change our relationship to our past, our old wounds, and the pain they cause. Our movement is more of a dance - we learn to express ourselves and be ourselves as we are moving through the divine choreography. This is not inauthentic. It's real. To heal means to make whole. With awareness and ever-evolving consciousness, we can continue to heal as we move. The important thing is that we accept ourselves in our perfect imperfections as we grow. We do not live from our old wounds, but we have awareness of our relationship to them as we evolve into more and more authentic and fulfilling aspects our ourselves. So how do we dance this dance that allows us to move beyond old wounds with authenticity and wisdom? Listen to today's Meditation & Healing Circle for a transformative healing experience.

Release Beliefs of "Not Enough" 1:12:13

We carry layers and layers of subconscious self-talk and emotional wounding that feeds into our sense of "not enough." Not tall enough, not thin enough, not pretty enough, not enough training or education, not enough money, not enough time, not enough... not enough... enough of that! These beliefs build a wall around us that keeps us from pursuing the passions we feel inside which will lead us to true fulfillment. They keep us from feeling safe and confident in our bodies. They steer us away from feeding our bodies in a way that cares for our sacred temples. But-- You ARE Enough! In this today's Meditation & Healing Circle, my dear friend and our special guest, Ruha Cathy Delwiche, will be guiding us on a healing journey using Holy Fire Reiki to clear those layers and free ourselves so we can experience the contentment we long to BE in our lives.

Emotional Healing for Your Belly 56:51

Does stress get your belly tied up in knots? Your belly needs support to decompress just like any other part of you. In fact, it needs special attention because that's where we tend to store our most intense emotions - shame, guilt, worry, fear, anger, vulnerability - and then we disconnect from it so we don't have to deal with those unpleasantries. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we invite our bellies to our Circle. We give it love and attention and the space it needs to release pent up stress and emotional constriction that it's been holding onto, and we allow it to settle into a peaceful presence.

The Mycelial Network and Our Connection with All That Is 45:53

There is an amazing underground network that connects all plant life. It is the mycelial network, the communications system through which plants support each other, warn each other, and collaborate. As we walk this earth, we connect with the incredible wisdom of this interwoven support system. As Muhyiddin Ibn Al-'Arabi said, we are not on this earth, we are in this earth. Our bodies are from the earth, and we are an integral part of the earth ecosystem, not separate from anything. We can tap into our connection with all of nature and the All That Is. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we tap into this network energetically to feel our oneness with everything on this sacred Earth. Connecting in vibrationally with prayer and intention, we glean the wisdom of an interconnected supportive system, to entrain our nervous systems and subconscious programming to harmonize with compassion and collaboration to create a sustainable environment and a peaceful world. This is healing, and it is key to aligning our subconscious with our oneness with all. This is a beautiful way to increase our conscious connection and inform our subconscious patterns and programming so we can live in greater harmony with the planet.

We all wear many masks throughout the course of our lives.

Think about the mask you put on when you first went into middle school, or a new relationship, or your first job. Those masks help us get through the awkwardness, but even after we don't need them anymore, parts of them stick. They keep us from being our authentic selves.

We have a special treat today - a journey through the Blessings Fields with Ruha Cathy Delwiche, Holy Fire® Karuna Reiki® Master Teacher and incredible healer. Father’s Day and the Summer Solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere) have just passed bringing their unique blend of energies. As we celebrate these times with our families and friends, remembering the sacred truth: even Father Sun on the longest day at the height of their brilliance, yields to the Light and begins the long descent into Winter’s embrace only to be reborn as the cycle must ever repeat. We too are part of this cycle – riding the rhythm of time. In our daily lives, we often lose sight of our blessings and see only what needs to be fixed or healed. So often we focus only on the healing aspects of our spiritual journey. Reiki is an excellent modality to assist with healing whether on the physical, emotional, mental or spiritual levels. AND Reiki can also be used to reveal our gifts, talents, innovations, inspirations, dreams and blessings. In this episode, Cathy guides us on a Reiki Journey to the Blessings Fields, a beautiful garden-like meadow filled with flowers and tall grasses and butterflies and birds and all things alive and vibrating. As we sit in the Blessings Field, we will be given the opportunity to receive Blessings from all the elements of our creation. And as the ‘remembering of these blessings’ comes flooding in, we will ask to see and be shown lifetimes of exceptional mastery, lifetime of abundance, excellent health, contentment. We will be shown, and we will know all these gifts and talents exist within our DNA, our cellular memory, our culture, our thought forms and beliefs. We are it and it is us. Just a slight shift in awareness will allow you to express all your gifts and talents in this lifetime right now. And so it is. Get a pen and paper for a journaling exercise and be ready to experience your inner knowingness and let those blessings express!

Fasting: The Gift of Slowing Down 46:22

Fasting is the ultimate Gift of Slowing Down. It is not an action or a ritual, but a non-doing, a state of being that allows your presence to be one with your divine essence. In this state you find many truths and extraordinary healing. The Divine Design of your physical body gives it the intelligence to heal itself. Our role is to choose the wisdom that gives it the necessary conditions and the space. Fasting is one of the most powerful gifts we've been given to create these conditions. March is National Colorectal Cancer awareness month. We are at the start of Ramadan, and we're in the midst of Lent. All of these observations can use fasting as a practice of personal healing, spiritual growth, and transformation. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we discuss the gifts of fasting, and we immerse into a meditation practice to realize the mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits of fasting. Listen to this episode to travel inward, to settle in and be present, to quiet yourself, to listen in the stillness with love and acceptance, and to receive the nourishment and provision that is supporting you.

How to Evolve in Our Changing World 1:01:48

منذ 2 years1:01:48

1:01:48

How do we evolve in our changing world? In this age of multiple crises that are accelerating and converging, it's very challenging to not fall back into old patterns stemming from unprocessed trauma. How do we move through these patterns so that we can create consciously and thrive? As it happens, one of the best models for regeneration is found in nature. Like all organic life, our bodies share the same architecture and cardinal principles for life flourishing. The portals to unlocking these can be found in our bodies, specifically in our largest sense organ, the fascia. I'm very excited to have a special guest, Elizabeth Dare Andes, to take us on a journey to discover how simple somatic practices using breath, sound and movement can reconnect us with our body's signature wave and restore our coherence so that we can face the challenges ahead with clarity, intention and a deep devotion to the sacred in all life. I met Elizabeth in the Continuum Movement world. Her incredible knowledge and masterful ways of articulating the mysteries of fascia and somatic healing continues to blow my mind. I know you're going to love her!! Elizabeth is founder of Evolutionary Somatics, and she's an international presenter on fascia, an incredible healer and teacher, and much more. I can't wait for you to meet her!! Listen to this episode for a transformational experience with a somatic practice involving sound, breath, and subtle movement.

Developing Sacred Intimacy 52:56

منذ 2 years52:56

52:56

Would you like to have deeper intimacy in your relationships? The secret to deepening intimacy is presence – being deeply present and attentive to one another. It begins by being present in your own being and allowing your heart to open to the heart of another – without losing yourself. To have sacred intimacy means to invoke the Divine Essence, to see through the lens of the holiness within you to witness the sacred essence of another, to be in awe of the light and to bring deep honoring of the sacred beauty. This is a practice you can develop with your Source, yourself, and with a partner. Listen to this episode for a healing experience.

Are you your partner's dumping ground? 53:35

منذ 2 years53:35

One of my exes used to treat me as a human dumping ground. I get it, he had a lot of stress he needed to release… but no matter how understanding and loving you are, it gets old. After a while, I was done with it and decided it needed to change. I talked with a friend who helped me realize it wasn’t about me, it was just that I was the safe space he needed to be able to let everything go. Maybe a compliment in a way, but still not ok on an everyday basis. However, it did give me a different lens to look through so I could communicate more effectively with him and take the steps to change this relationship dynamic. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, I want to help you take the steps you need to take, regardless of whether you are the dumper or the dumpee, to connect with your authentic self and speak the truth in love.

Is yesterday's anger determining today's reality? 48:19

منذ 2 years48:19

Do you find yourself angry, frustrated, barking at people for things that are outside of your control and even out of their control? What if you could find a way to peacefully express yourself and bring about a desirable resolution without raising your blood pressure or hurting people around you? The truth is, most of our responses are learned behaviors. They might be patterns we learned from our parents, or we might be reacting to a memory of something we experienced in childhood that never got resolved. With a little Awareness and Discernment, we can determine whether we are reacting to the past or being present with the current situation. We have to be present with what is in front of us if we want to change the outcomes. If you want to stop letting yesterday’s anger determine today’s reality, listen to this episode of the Meditation & Healing Circle.

Self-Love vs Self-Like 58:53

Do you ever feel like you wished the people closest to you liked you? Like, you know your family loves you, but you feel like they do not LIKE you. Chances are you heard things growing up that made you feel you were not enough or you were defective or you never got it right. This leaves an imprint on the developing psyche that says "I'm not likable" or "People don't like me." I have a very personal experience with this lingering subconscious belief pattern. After several years of healing, I became aware of this voice and how it was shaping my experiences. Of course, I brought it into healing and the evolution was exquisite.

Imagine how the shapes of buildings that you live in might affect your ability to connect with higher dimensions! Imagine how you might be able to shape your environment – literally – to connect with the natural world and the spiritual realms! Imagine how this might impact your immune system function and your overall health and well-being. BioGeometry is the study of how shapes interact with Earth's energy to produce a balancing effect on all energy levels of biological systems – and it's absolutely fascinating!…

What holds you back from reaching your dreams? 45:59

Do you have a quiet voice in your head telling you "You can't"? Maybe someone who held authority over you - a teacher, boss, or parent - told you long ago that you could not because of some limitation they perceived to be true. Those things can stick with us, leaving us fighting against an invisible wall or arguing with an invisible figure of someone who is long gone from our lives. This happened to me and it left a powerful imprint on me for many years -- until one day I recognized the voice and realized that the only person still holding me back was ME! At that moment I decided to let that go and give myself the opportunities that had been right there waiting for me for a long time. It was a game-changer.

How are you at receiving compliments? Do you find yourself shying away or deflecting, laughing, shrugging it off, changing the subject? Maybe you instantly counter with a compliment before you can receive the acknowledgement you've been given. I get it. No one wants to be arrogant or prideful. But if the praise is for a God-given gift that you have been so fortunate to develop, then it's not about you. My teacher, Sidi Shaykh Muhammad al-Jamal, used to say, "This life is for you, but not about you." It is for you, and it moves through you. So how can you allow your gifts to manifest and your light to shine and receive compliments without making it about you?

It might seem hard to think about living with meaning when there is so much unrest in the world. However, consciously or subconsciously, we are all trying to understand what's going on.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T. What does it mean to you? What does it mean for our Mother Earth? My spiritual teacher had a saying, "Do not let them eat your meat and then throw you!" This was his way of trying to teach me about commanding respect for myself. It was a long road for me, but I finally GOT IT! For me, commanding respect means expecting to be treated fairly and kindly, and also commanding respect for my values and my rights to live in a way that I feel is fair for the planet and her inhabitants. This often means going against the grain of the mainstream practices. I know a number of people who feel a strong passion to live their lives in ways that are outside of the norm. They/We continually meet challenges from people who do not want to change, and sometimes it's difficult to stand your ground. We end up compromising and living in a way that feels unkind to ourselves, others, and the planet. Can you relate?

I emerged from these 2 trips to learn of the latest eruption in the Israeli-Palestinian war, a heart-breaking conflict which has been going on since the end of World War 2.

Balancing Desire for Change with Acceptance of What Is 53:37

منذ 2 years53:37

53:37

Do you ever feel so passionate about your beliefs that you want everyone to understand - and then when they don't get how important your message is, you want to beat them over the head with your knowledge! It's really hard to see people living in ways that cause harm to themselves, each other, the animals, the earth. Why can't they see??? But then you remember, the basis of your beliefs includes compassion, love, and acceptance. But how can you have acceptance for those who are so blind to the ways of peace and love? As a person of love and compassion, you’ve probably ridden the teeter totter of your desire for change versus the acceptance of what is. Is there a way to hold these two sides in balance? In this week's Meditation & Healing Circle, we tease out our passions, purpose, and feelings so we can find a way forward through the frustrations to hold ALL of our values as we desire to make the world a more peaceful and sustainable home for all.

Awakening to Oneness - An Integrative Approach 49:27

منذ 2 years49:27

49:27

Today our Meditation & Healing Circle is led by my dear friend and colleague, Dr. Anthousa Helena of Sollite Integrative Medicine. Her Integrative Medicine practice consciously bridges the gap between Medicine and Spirituality, utilizing a Holistic Approach that ensures the highest potential for your most desirable outcome to assist yourself, your clients, and humanity as a whole. Here's a message from Dr. Anthousa about today’s Meditation & Healing: Experiencing yourself as something separated is a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. it creates an Illusion of Separation. There is only One Pure Energy appearing as Multiplicity. The truth is you need to look inward, to get to know and love yourself. You live in a Mirror-Verse - what you see outside is a reflection of your inner world and vice-versa. When you develop awareness of what's woven deep inside your tapestry, you find healing. In this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we use Mother Earth as our Mirror to explore what’s eating us up inside and at the same time consuming Her. Is this an experience from trauma and/or is this part of a new paradigm shift? We take a journey through the Paradox of Duality discovering reflections of disturbed bio-energetic patterns of Mother Earth and of Ourselves individually. Utilizing your body as a roadmap, you will tune into inner Wisdom with Comprehensive Energy techniques of Dr. Anthousa Helena’s Sollite Integrative Medicine to rewire and integrate events that have been trapped and unresolved. The Awareness of Truth shall set you Free. Listen to this episode for a special treat! You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

They say, when you know better, you do better. But why is that not true with food? We know what we need to eat to be healthy, yet how often do we abandon our knowledge for comfort or for other emotional reasons? How often do we eat when we are not hungry just to satisfy a craving that has little to do with physical nourishment? In today's Meditation & Healing Circle, we'll look at the emotional attachments and triggers around food, and bring some gentle loving healing energy to the places that need it. We use a five-part process to release ourselves from emotional holds and return to our core truth.

Food & Simplicity 50:57

منذ 2 years50:57

When it comes to food, our culture loves excess and complexity. Our bodies, however, do not thrive on those philosophies. Our bodies cannot optimize digestion when the stomach is overfilled or when we eat too many different types of foods that do not digest well together. Excessive and elaborate eating are forms of waste. We are taking from the planet beyond what we can use, and using what we take in ways that our bodies can’t use – it makes our bodies sick. It’s a conditioned misalignment and disharmony between mind and body. Embracing a mindset of simplicity and sufficiency – simple combinations and knowing when we’ve had enough – can have transformative effects on our bodies, and also our minds, hearts, and spirits. In this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we call into consciousness our conditioned food choices and eating habits and seek to release the conditioning that does not serve the health of the body, heart, spirit, and the planet. Listen to this episode for a meditation to simplify your food lifestyle, transform your personal well-being, and contribute to a more sustainable planet.

What Does it Take to Be Happy? 52:54

منذ 2 years52:54

What does it take to be happy? Do you look for things to make you happy? Or maybe you seek happiness to abate sadness. When we rely on things to make us happy – people, places, events, material goods, food, alcohol, drugs – we associate happiness with feelings of elation, which are temporary. To have true lasting happiness, we must find contentment. In the Sufi teachings, contentment is a high station. It is learning to be content with what life brings – the highs, the lows, the mundane, and everything in between. This is the topic of today's Meditation & Healing Circle. Is there something in your life that you can re-interpret to release yourself from the roller coaster of discontent? Is there something you can simplify to find contentment and live a more harmonious life? Listen to this episode to release yourself from the roller coaster and discover the beauty in simplicity.

Non-judgment for our Younger Generations 52:02

I hear people of my generation criticizing the younger generations. In this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we come together to release our judgments and pray for them to emerge as the leaders our future world needs. I was speaking with a young friend the other day about the number of young people struggling with severe depression and suicidal tendencies. In the US, we think of the fear of mass shootings as a main factor. This is a contributing factor, and yet the young woman I was speaking with is from another country where they do not experience mass shootings. So what is happening with our youth? Our world is evolving and the youth are coming into this realm equipped to thrive in the world of the future. If our future is one of love and compassion, living more closely aligned to the soul and connection with Source, then our children are going to struggle in fundamental ways with the cruelty and density of this plane. Those who try to force archaic beliefs and structures onto our children are making it difficult for them to know their value and bring forth the gifts they have been given to govern an evolved planet. The moving parts need to come together in harmony so they can survive the effects of today’s world and grow into their adulthood with the gifts and beauty they are here to bring. Our future world cannot be governed as our past world has been. Listen to this Meditation & Healing Circle to offer prayers and support for our future leaders and the future of our planet. We also seek to release our own misunderstandings and judgments so we may see more clearly the path forward.

Do you question whether you have what it takes to do what you really want to do? Or do you hesitate to speak up when you know the answers or have viable solutions to a problem? I certainly did for much of my life. I had been shut down so many times by parents, siblings, teachers, managers, coworkers, and people who had influence over me, and I had internalized their words. I lived with deep insecurity. Was I really that inadequate? I knew I was intelligent and capable, but I was afraid to speak up in meetings at work. I was afraid to advocate for what I needed with my family and intimate relationships. I hesitated to share my opinions and insights in groups. Until I realized those thoughts and beliefs are not mine. They do not define me and never have. The same is true for you. The words of others that have told you your opinions did not matter, that you were inadequate or ineffective, or that your voice did not deserve to be heard - those are their words, not your truth. Your truth is still inside you. It has endured and it is waiting for you to return to it - and you can! That is the focus of this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle.

What emanates through your soul to be manifest upon this earth realm? You might not know what it is, but you can feel there is something there. And you can certainly feel when you're not aligned with it. You are a conduit for Divine Manifestation. When your soul was breathed into your body, your life lessons, experiences, wisdom gained, and soul purpose were all written into your book, your Akashic record, scribed by the Archangel Metatron. Your life has been preparing you for that purpose. The breath that breathes you and the life force that beats your heart pulsates a rhythm into this realm to bring through unique gifts that will bring fulfillment to your heart. These gifts are here for you to embrace, to say yes to, to surf the waves of this grand ocean of living consciousness. "If you give birth to what is within you, the voices you redeem will redeem you. If you fail to find and give birth to them, they become a part of what is destroying you.” ~from the Gospel of Thomas, as quoted in The Sufi Book of Life, by Neil Douglas-Klotz That is the focus of this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle.

If you've been on a healing journey, you know that when you are able to help someone else through their struggles, magic happens for both of you. I’ve been in the healing field for almost 30 years now. Most people who come to be healers and coaches have been through trauma, abuse, addiction, or made dreadful mistakes, and they’ve found a way through. To serve others is an expression of gratitude and compassion, and it’s also a continuation of your personal healing journey. The Universe will always bring you what you need to see yourself more clearly through the eyes of another, to show you your next steps, to help you have more acceptance of yourself and the choices you’ve made, and to love yourself more completely. And the service gives us a sense of purpose, value, accomplishment, usefulness. Everyone needs to feel they have something of value to contribute to the world – our children, elderly, and everyone in between. To be of service is rewarding for the giver and the receiver. How has your life prepared you to serve? Where has your journey led you? What fulfills your heart? In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we explore opportunities for healing and fulfillment through service to others.

Healing Trust Issues with Masculine Energies 44:22

منذ 2 years44:22

We’ve all had negative experiences of the masculine brought on by imbalanced expressions of strength and power and the domination and control of the patriarchy. These events leave us feeling uneasy, unsafe, and even angry. We hesitate to express our own strength, power, and control because we’ve had so many experiences of the “wrong way” to use them, so we label them as “bad” and shut ourselves down. Yet we all carry these energies inside of us. Just like all of our human traits, these energies have a higher expression and a lower expression. These traits in their higher expression are not “bad.” So what is the sacred role of the Masculine? We cannot have a healthy Divine Feminine and ignore or demonize the masculine. We need to understand the highest expression of the sacred Masculine energy and bring our relationship with both masculine and feminine into harmony, into a unifying connection. Listen to this Meditation & Healing Circle for an experiential healing of the inner feminine and inner masculine, a key to healing the dynamics of the collective consciousness.

We have been conditioned to control our emotions out of fear and judgment, as if showing emotions makes you seem out of control or weak. We shame ourselves for feeling what we feel before we have a chance to express our truth. We end up apologizing and rationalizing instead of simply expressing our authentic selves. But emotions are not bad. In fact, they are a vital to understanding your core truths and knowing your connection to your highest self. Only when we develop a healthy relationship with our emotions can we glean the information they give us. This is key to living more authentically and sincerely expressing our true selves, which is necessary for developing healthy relationships with ourselves and others.

I used to think that when the spirit left the body, the body dies. Then I heard Eric Winkel of The Futuhat project explain how the decaying process of the body is a continuation of its life force that returns it to the earth. This makes so much sense to me. We are creatures of the earth. Our bodies are made of the same elements as the earth, and the body carries the same intelligence as the earth's minerals. While the life force of the spirit is still in the body, we can connect to the wisdom within the earth's elements and minerals to "remember" the innate wisdom and bring healing to the physical and energy body.

Finding Truth beneath Anger 40:13

You’ve heard it before: Anger is bad. Anger is one letter away from Danger. Whatever you do, don’t show your anger. So, if we can’t express it, what are we supposed to do with it? Well, most of us just shove it down and clinch our jaws shut. Then the anger festers inside along with whatever truth we needed to express. But anger, just like every other emotion, holds information that is vital to understanding ourselves and knowing our core truths. The important thing is to not lash out at others often causing further harm, but to listen inwardly to hear what needs to be expressed. In many years of working with clients, I’ve found understanding the truth beneath anger to be one of the most self-empowering things we can do. Because anger often stems from a place inside that has felt disempowered, overpowered, powerless over your current circumstances. What if there were an approach to anger that could lead you to peaceful self-empowerment and inner strength? That is the focus of today’s Meditation & Healing Circle.

Healing Family Dynamics 47:42

Ram Dass said, “If you think you’re enlightened, go home to your family.” Mother’s Day is next week in the US, and many of us will be gathering with our families to honor and celebrate our moms – or to be celebrated as a mom. But sometimes our family celebrations can become a trigger-fest! Because sometimes, no matter how much you love the person you’ve grown into, when you get around your family, suddenly you’re that kid again and you’re getting triggered and you’re spiraling down a rabbit hole into a place you don’t want to be, becoming a person you don’t like to be. Well, it’s not just you. This is common. The family unit has a body just like the individual body. Just like the individual body, it has neurological pathways that we, the group consciousness, travel along when we come together. We follow the same old patterns because that’s what is ingrained in the body, in the family unit. But we can learn to recognize our triggers. Then the next time they come up, we can make a different choice as to which pathway to travel. You can shift the family dynamic by forging new neurological pathways. In today’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we bring compassionate witnessing to our family triggers, unhook from the familiar pathways, and explore new choices.

منذ 3 years47:44

47:44

Beyond the descriptions, analyses, reasons, and rationalization, what do you feel? What does it mean to you? What does it say about who you really are? I watched the movie, The Whale, last night. A dear friend who has lived with obesity recommended it, saying it gave her great insights into her struggles with food. I have also struggled a great deal with food, so I welcome the insights. The main character is a reclusive English teacher who teaches online courses. He encourages honesty from his students – not just the typical descriptions and analyses, but he wants them to write what they really feel, their raw honest thoughts and feelings beyond political correctness or an attempt to conform to educational standards that might typically get them a good grade. He begs of them, “Tell me something honest.” How often are we asked, “How are you?” and we instantly reply, “Fine.” without a thought. Is it because we do not have time for the truth, or because we are just giving answers we think the other personal wants to hear? Or are we just going through the motions of a dialog that was scripted and taught to us before we were born? I honestly believe it’s okay to give rote answers at times. You get to choose when and with whom you share your honest feelings and opinions. What is most important is that we take time to be honest with ourselves. Because even though we don’t want to show all of ourselves to everyone, we are our own most intimate partners, and the quality of our relationship with self is the one that determines our true happiness and fulfillment. My spiritual teacher used to say, “Don’t stop with the outside pictures. Go behind and behind and behind and behind… until you reach the truth.” What is the truth within you? In this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we make the time for self-honesty. We hold ourselves in loving acceptance and travel behind and behind and behind… until we realize a truth that is rooted in love and beauty.

Peace, Not Polarization 47:03

منذ 3 years47:03

47:03

With the increasing divisiveness in our society, how can we choose peace, not polarization, and still stand for what we believe in? I watched a docuseries this past week about the many forces that have worked together to create the amplified level of polarization we are experiencing here is the US over the recent years. In the many interviews, I could observe which of the people seemed to be getting energized off the power they could conjure by preaching a divisive message - and also how it energized the crowd. I could also feel the peace that emanated when someone shared a message of unity. The most interesting thing was that the basic values and needs that were being expressed were pretty much the same, and a large percentage of even the phrases were similar to what we talk about in our community and in our meditations. None of us want to be deceived and manipulated by a corrupt government. No one wants to see evil and darkness perpetuated. And there is truth and value in standing up to that which causes harm to ourselves and others. The difference is in how we do it and to what end, and how we view the earth and spirit realms. Remember, Gandhi said: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” What is your vision for change? Who does it call you to be? And Buckminster Fuller said: “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” What is the new model you would like to put your energy into? Does it exist? How can you begin to live according to that model here and now? These are the topics we are exploring in today’s Meditation & Healing Circle.

The Difference You Have Made 46:05

منذ 3 years46:05

46:05

Sometimes we sit around wondering “What can I do to make a difference in the world?” Or “How can I help this situation?” Or “What is my purpose in this lifetime?” But how often do you reflect on the difference you have made? You have no doubt been utilized as an instrument of Divine will in some way, as a form of expression or service. And as long as your body has breath, you will continue to be inspired toward some purpose. It is through divinely-inspired expression and service that we come to know ourselves and our Source and evolve our souls. Taking time to acknowledge how you have served and where you have made a difference helps us to more fully integrate what we are taught through the experience – what we are to learn of ourselves and our Source – and to integrate the teaching for the soul. This integration strengthens the building blocks that are being constructed within you so that you can be better equipped to meet the next calling. In this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we take time to: acknowledge the purpose you have service and the difference your service has made, consciously open and receive the teachings and gifts, integrate the soul-level teachings, and solidify the building blocks that strengthen your vessel.

Your Umbilical Cord to God 48:01

We have life because there is a living consciousness that flows through us. We have breath because there is a cosmic breath that breathes us. We have a heartbeat because there is a divine rhythm that pulsates through our bodies. We are most at peace when we are in connection and flow with this divine essence of our existence. And there is a place in the body that we can lean into to feel this connection and flow. This is your umbilical cord to God. In this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we lean into this space and feel the divine breath – the inspiration of Source. We tap into our heart’s sincere desire for a healthier life and healthier planet and offer prayers for peace and healing. Listen to this episode for a heart-centered healing meditation.

The Inner Traits of Loyalty 38:36

What cultivates a sense of loyalty? What makes someone a loyal friend? Yesterday was my nephew’s funeral – a heart-wrenching time. As I reflected on what I want his children to remember about their father, what stood out the most was his sense of loyalty. When others would turn away in judgment or anger, he would stick with you and support you through the tough times. I took this into meditation, and today I’d like to share the insights that could help us all stick together and support each other with compassion as we weather the storms of this life journey.

Replenishing the Life Force of Your Body's Fluid Systems 50:16

منذ 3 years50:16

Water is the carrier of life force, and your body is composed of mostly water in a structured fluid state. The water within you is alive! When inundated in modern manmade physical structures, water can become stagnant and murky. When immersed in the ego-based culture, it can become infused with vibrations that disconnect it from the resonance of the natural world and the spiritual realms. In these states, life force is depleted and our whole system loses its immune functions and takes on disease. But the water has intelligence and the life force can be restored. We must use our intention to connect with the higher realms of consciousness and the basic rhythms of the natural world to restore life force and return to health. This is the focus and practice of this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle. We use some of the Divine Names to invoke the life force from the higher realms, the Divine Powers, to rejuvenate the life and flow of the water within our bodies. For reference, the Divine Names include: Al-Muhyi: the Giver of Life Al-Mumit: the Giver of Death Al-Hayy: the One Who Lives Forever Listen to this episode for a rejuvenating healing experience.

Meditation for Peace on Earth 53:48

منذ 3 years53:48

53:48

If our planet were human – a body with a spirit traveling a pathway of evolution – we could easily recognize that it has experienced severe trauma and is in deep need of healing. Effects of trauma leave the body’s nervous system on alert, hyperarousal, waiting for the next proverbial shoe to drop. The body’s electrical pathways are overstimulated, in need of settling into its natural rhythms, in need of returning to peace. Our planet’s environment is covered in systemic trauma – social, political, financial, food system, communication systems (radio waves, satellites, 5G) soil, plants, animals, water, air – all out of harmony and in need of balancing. For the wars, natural disasters, effects of climate change, effects of human “progress”, we offer special prayers for peace today to help settle the energetic pathways on our planet, to release patterns of fear and distrust, to relax into natural rhythms, to connect with love and compassion and kindness – to prepare for the restoration of peace on earth. This is the topic and practice of this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle. We set our intention to surround the earth and its environment with peace, to calm its electrical pathways and nervous system, and to reconnect with the inherent love and beauty of our planet. God willing, it will bring healing to you individually as well, as to bring healing to the whole is to bring wholeness to all of its parts.

What if you could walk across a threshold and close the door on all the fears and limitations that keep us looping in the dysfunction and pain of the past… even if the past was just yesterday? I’m not suggesting we adopt an attitude of oblivious denial. I recognize things are pretty crazy out there right now. But a s long as we have breath moving through us, we can use our life force for good. We can raise our vibration and step out of the old bubble and into a realm of love. We can hold the vision for what is possible and continue to actively take steps to hold the higher vibration and move into the realm of peace and universal harmony. It is closer than it seems. That is the focus of today's Meditation & Healing Circle. Together we will step through the doorway to the ocean of love. We close the door on the past and swim in the waters of Universal Harmony.

The Sound of Beauty 45:26

There is a holy saying, a Hadith Qudsi, that says: God said, “I was a Hidden Treasure and I desired to be known, so I created the creation and made them to know Me.” Do you every wonder why when you see signs of beauty, your heart expands or softens or melts, and you feel a sense of euphoria or awe or wonder? The signs of beauty bring about an instant response of “WOW!” Today we will elevate our spirits by recalling signs of beauty and exploring the mysteries of sound, vibration, and beauty. We tap into the teaching on Cosmology of Letters and Sound from the Sufi mystic and scholar, Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi, particularly the hidden meanings within the sound of “wow” and the Arabic letter, Waw. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we swim in the Ocean of Sound to explore the connections and meanings within the body, heart, spirit, and nature.

Feeling Safe in Your Skin 52:13

منذ 3 years52:13

An integral part of the human journey is to experience events and circumstances that seem to separate us from our true selves. These are the mini-traumas and major-traumas that leave us feeling on edge, unable to settle in and relax for very long, feeling unsafe in our own skin. According to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, if we want to experience fulfillment and know ourselves as one with All That Is, we must first have our basic needs met – and we must first feel safe in our bodies. If we want to live a life of Oneness, Unconditional Love and Compassion, and Universal Harmony, it helps to feel ourselves as one with Nature and experience the wisdom of earth within us - the nature that our bodies are made of. In this limited lifespan we have in these bodies, we have an incredible opportunity to experience this world through our senses and basic instincts. We have a gift of learning about love and connection in ways that evolve the collective soul. We are led to believe that we are individual beings out for survival in competition with each other and nature. What we are is cells of one body having a collective experience to evolve a collective consciousness. The existence is bigger than our selves and the journey is beyond our individual experiences. Yet our experiences are important to the whole, and our choices and states matter. Our sense of safety and oneness matters. That is the focus of this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle – feeling safe in the body and trusting in the One Body that is the Rhythm of the breath and the beating of the heart.

Their Opinions do NOT determine Your Worth 42:59

Have you ever had the experience of Knowing you’ve done a good job, but then receiving criticism? Showing up to be a good friend, and then being rejected? Doing you best to get along, but it wasn’t quite enough? This one has been a big life/soul lesson for me, and it has come up with clients 3 times in the past week. Going through it with clients reminds me of how far I’ve come, and seeing it 3 times in one week is a sign to bring it to you. The disapproval can leave you deflated, questioning your own value, wondering what you did wrong. But you are still the same person before and after another person’s approval or disapproval. You are the same regardless of recognition or reward. No one else’s opinions of you can change who you are. You might have been left with a few wounds and scars, and that is where we will bring healing in today’s Meditation & Healing Circle. In today’s practice, you will Unhook from the cords that have tied you to someone else’s approval. Reclaim your own authority and self-worth. Acknowledge your value and anchor the knowledge within you. Use powerful healing prayers to transform your inner patterning and vibration to align with your core truth.

Mercy: A Key to Oneness with All That Is 48:38

منذ 3 years48:38

The day-to-day of the world with its many conflicts and dichotomies can confuse the heart. Most of us respond by shutting down the heart, blocking our feelings to protect us from the overwhelming emotions that are stirred by the pain of humankind and all that we afflict upon each other, the earth's creatures, and the planet herself. The protective hardening creates isolation, leaving us feeling separated even when we do care deeply. Mercy is a divine gift that is present and available and within all things. Mercy returns us to our origin and the truths that weave the seemingly separate pieces into an exquisite tapestry painted by love. In this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we call on the divine forces of Mercy, Compassion, and Grace to fill our hearts and return us to the knowledge of our existence and the reasons we are here.

Body-Spirit Integration to Prepare for the New Year 50:19

We have been in the midst of an evolution into an era of Peace, Unconditional Love and Universal Harmony. In this episode we seek to bring our perception of spirit and body into a unified state within us. This evolution of consciousness has moved us away from clinging to the past for our identities, even for healing. That wave crested, we are now on the other side of it rolling forward onto a new shore. We can now embrace that momentum and move toward who we are called to be in a new era of Universal Harmony. We can receive the vibrational templates of this cosmological evolution and say yes to the shifts. We are all cells of One Body. The One Body is shifting whether our individually-minded selves like it or not. We can choose to say yes and proactively evolve with it, or we can resist and fight it and remain in disharmony and discontent. This time thru March 2023 is a time to choose. Our world has been illuminating long-held stark contrasts in belief systems and lifestyles. We can see more clearly and no longer deny the effects of these growing dichotomies. We can examine our values and choose how to align ourselves moving forward. Which path of evolution do you want to take? What values do you align with? What is the Spirit consciousness wanting to BE and express through your human existence? Are you ready to fully merge with Spirit consciousness that exists within you to BE the expression of Spirit in your human existence? In today’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we focus on merging of the Spirit that lives through you – to merge with the physical body so you know Who breathes you and you breathe in synch with total trust.

What Does it Mean to Honor Jesus? 52:42

منذ 3 years52:42

52:42

Today is the day that Christians around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus, known as the Prince of Peace. Jesus lived on this earth as a pure representative of Spirit in form. His life gives us examples of how to live among this earth as a healer who embodies peace and faith. Jesus healed the sick, fed the poor, stood strong in the face of injustice, and loved unconditionally. He looked beyond outer appearances to the sincerity within the hearts of the people. He told us that “…if you have faith the size of a mustard seed… nothing will be impossible for you.” ~Matthew 17:20-21 The most sincere way to honor Jesus is to embody the examples he set. My spiritual teacher used to say to us, “Be Jesus of your time.” Carry the message of the Prophets. Be honest. Be sincere. Walk a straight path. Care about your body, your heart, your spirit. Care about your family. Be polite with one another. Help each other. This is some of what it means to honor Jesus and to live in Peace and Faith. In today’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we call on the Divine Powers of Peace (As-Salaam) and open our hearts for the embodiment of peace – to be the peace, to be Jesus of our time to the best of our ability.

Can Personal Healing Change the World? 57:44

The byline of the Community for Conscious Living is “Personal Transformation for Universal Harmony.” If you’ve attended a Sunday morning Meditation & Healing Circle or listened to a replay, you’ve heard this at the beginning of each call. Can our Personal Healing work really change the world? What is needed to really make a difference? There are some laws of Nature that are common to this created world. And yet each manifested creature reflects a unique facet of a Greater Jewel. When every facet of the jewel is polished, can it reflect the full magnificence of the Hidden Treasure? As your mirror is polished, your truth can be seen more clearly, and the Treasure comes into a clearer view. And the lens through which you view the Treasure and experience the magnificence generates a force field of energy that contributes to the collective ocean of living consciousness. In this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle, I want to share a story of my personal journey which I hope will serve as an example. And then together we can drop into inner reflection to see more clearly where our mirrors can be polished so we reflect the change we wish to see in the world.

Your Soul Identity 49:21

How do you describe yourself? What is your identity? Typically we answer based on the bodies we are in, family, relationships, the purpose we serve. I am a single American female, daughter, sister, youngest of six children, spiritual healing practitioner, transformational program facilitator, teacher, student. Thomas Aquinas said, “The things we love tell us who we are.” The things we love and do not love, our life experiences and chosen paths all give us clues as to who we are. They point to an identity. The true identity goes deeper. Deep within your heart, your soul, your spirit, who are you? How do you identify? We are moving into an era of Universal Harmony where we will identify less with the physical body or familial and social constructs. We have the opportunity to identify based on the heart, soul, and spirit. Only then can we truly live in unconditional love and compassion. In this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we travel deeper into the heart where the outer constructs that define us melt away and we can see ourselves beyond body, age, family, career, money, home, location – and know ourselves as heart and soul.

Have you ever had an awakening or epiphany that opened up new insights for you, that shifted your perceptions or elevated your consciousness? It may have brought you healing for a physical, mental, or emotional condition. Or it may have set you on a spiritual quest. My healing journey began with an “out of this world” epiphany that included all of the above. It put me on a pathway of seeking and a strong desire to heal. Many times I wanted to find that epiphany experience again. I wanted another WOW moment. I have had many WOW moments along the path, but the WOW moments are the door openers. They swing open a door and flash a neon sign that says “Go this way!” The healing then happens with each step along the path. There are many modalities of healing, but at the core they have common goals or results, We are representations of spirit in human bodies who have forgotten why we are here, and we have an innate desire to know our truths. In this week’s Meditation and Healing Circle, we tap into the seeking heart that guides the pathway to discover truths. This is the one that calls us home – individually and collectively - to be the representative of spirit in form. Listen to this episode for a healing exploration.…

The Holidays are a time that can really knock us out of synch with our natural rhythms. I proved it in this episode! But I got back on track quickly with tools of meditation and intention, clearing out frenetic energies we take on from people, places, and foods that are not aligned with our natural rhythms and returning to pure peace. In the US, we just celebrated the holiday of Thanksgiving. Schedules and routines get out of synch. It’s the heaviest travel time of the year. We spend time with people we do not usually see. We eat foods we do not always eat. There is a chaotic frenetic energy that permeates the air. It is imperative for our health and sanity to realign regularly throughout this time period and beyond. In this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we reset energetically, emotionally, and physically. We purge out the frenetic energy and reclaim your natural rhythm to get you on track.

Embryonic Healing: Repatterning Cellular Consciousness for Love, Safety, & Provision 51:38

In today's episode, we travel back to the womb and invite the developing embryo to rest into the security of the sacred womb space and receive the nourishment and provision that is transferred through the umbilical cord - on the physiological and spiritual levels. The question of “Enoughness” - will there ever be enough, will I ever have enough, am I enough? Enough money, enough food, enough love, enough work. Can I do enough to earn enough to have enough to be secure? This is a stream of consciousness that plagues our societies. It flavors the soup we have been marinating in for most of our lives. Yet the nourishment is available, the sustenance is available, the provision is available. Where does our sense of nourishment begin? Where does our relationship to enoughness and security begin to develop? Today we are traveling way back to the embryonic stage to connect with the nourishment that is available in utero on the physiological and spiritual levels. In today’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we’ll go on a journey to focus on the security of sustenance that we receive in the womb. Even if your actual experience was “not enough”, this meditation will invite your developing nervous system and somatic memory to receive and rest into a sense of safety and nourishment that your being seeks.

Letting Go of the Old You 50:24

Growing up is hard. Trying to find who you are. Trying to fit in. Wanting to be loved and accepted. Wanting to belong to a tribe that wants us to belong. We take on personas and engage in activities that we hope will give us what we need. Undoubtedly, we later regret some of those actions. We feel embarrassed of who we tried to be and all the ways we were not true to ourselves. This was my path, and I know I was not alone. In this episode I get emotional, something I don't do often on the podcast, in sharing a story from my past and present that came up for more clearing... When we begin the journey of healing, it’s common to close the door on the old you as you uncover the truth that has been waiting inside you. I’m not a huge fan of re-living the past, but I do believe in purging the old energies and energetic templates that once defined you. The old identities that you once clung to just to get along and be accepted can still hang out in certain parts of your body, and they need to be released. The old patterns affect your physical posture and structure, your body’s functioning, and your subconscious behaviors and thought patterns, and what continues to show up in your life through others. This is the focus of this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle. Those old personas that tried to be cool back in the day – we’re going to clean up and purge the residual energies so your total environment can be a reflection of the truth you carry now.

The Healing Power of Emotions 51:32

Our society has taught us to squelch our emotions – it’s not okay to feel, or at least it’s not okay to show your emotions. But the emotions have the power to heal beyond what the mind can reach. Emotions play an important role in the human journey. They provide a doorway to understand what is most important to you – your core values and your deepest inner knowing.

Healing the Effects of Inconsistent Parenting 51:31

منذ 3 years51:31

51:31

One of the most effective things we can do to increase confidence is to release mixed programming from inconsistent parenting. As children, we come into the world as blank slates. Yes, we have an inner knowing and compass, our own personalities and constitutions, we have inherited some programming from ancestral experiences, and we carry our own patterns developed before this birth. And all that said, for the most part we are dependent on our parents, siblings, teachers, and caretakers in this lifetime to teach us what behaviors give us love, acceptance, connection, and safety we seek. In an ideal world, we would receive consistent responses and guidance based solely on actions. For instance, when a stove is hot and we touch it, we get burned. Pretty simple. We can safely base actions on the knowledge that if we do not want to get burned, we will avoid touching the hot stove, and we can feel confident about the actions we take. But we do not live in a ideal world as such. We are all emotional beings, and parenting and care-taking can tax emotions on even the best days. As a parent, what we love and adore one day might cause us to erupt the next day. For the child, this can produce uncertainty, low self-confidence, low self-esteem. You know that feeling of. “I just can’t do anything right!” It may be a matter of trying to succeed at something or trying to get approval from those you are in relationship with. The inconsistent messaging can leave you feeling fearful, hesitant, uncertain, self-loathing, unwilling to learn new things or make new friends or go for what you want in life. In this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we focus on clearing the programming from inconsistent messaging and connect you with your inner knowledge and connection to love.

What are your dreams telling you? 1:06:17

منذ 3 years1:06:17

This week’s Meditation & Healing Circle is a special treat from one of our community members, Gabrielle Hass, aka Gaby. If you’ve joined us live, you may have heard Gaby share many insights, tidbits of wisdom, and always gratitude. Gaby gave me a DreamTending session last week that blew my mind. We inquired into a recurring dream from my past, and I expected to learn a little more about what I already knew – what had already transpired. It turned out that the exploration revealed messages that are relevant and timely today – no doubt divinely-orchestrated! I feel like this will have messages for you too and offer you guidance for uncovering messages that may be hidden within your dreams. Listen to this episode for an enlightening experience. Gabrielle Hass, aka Gaby, fell in love with DreamTending in 2015, when she met Dr. Stephen Aizenstat, when she was graduating from her master’s program at Pacifica Graduate Institute in the area of Humanities, with an emphasis in depth psychology and living the creative life. She immediately embarked on studying with Dr. Aizenstat for the next three years, which led her to practice DreamTending as an elder. It encompasses all her life experience, spiritual, as a healer, teacher, mother and grandmother. Gaby invites us to come dream with her! You can reach Gaby through her website: www.OCSoulExpressions.com Gaby's book recommendations: For the Love of Dreams , Marilyn O Brien available on Amazon DreamTending, Awakening to the Healing Power of Dreams , Stephen Aizenstat You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

When Spite becomes Self-Destructive 54:52

منذ 3 years54:52

54:52

You might be older, wiser, and a bit more mature than this, but you can probably recognize it as the battle cry of the teenager: “You cannot tell me what to do, and more you try, the harder I will fight to do what I want, and if you push I’ll do the opposite just to spite you!” I might not have been aware of it at the time, but my teenage self certainly sang that song a time or twenty. And “the opposite” was not always in my best interests. OK, maybe it was never in my best interest. And the mistakes that followed became the fodder for many of the healing sessions I’ve needed as I got older. No one wants to feel controlled or dominated. We all need autonomy. But we also need to understand our needs and our strengths so that the rebellion against what feels like a controlling authority actually honors our true needs and does not lead us into potentially harmful situations. As parents, when our children make choices that frighten us, we end up blaming ourselves and questioning what we did wrong to create this situation. Yet, this is a part of the dance of the souls, as painful as it may be. Whether you are in the parent role, or you are or once were in the young adult role, this dance leaves scars that need love, understanding, and forgiveness to heal.

Balancing Self-Improvement & Self-Acceptance 51:06

منذ 3 years51:06

51:06

The desire for self-improvement is innate. We are born with a desire to advance. Without it, a baby would never crawl or stand or walk. When a baby is learning to walk, he will inevitably fall down, not just once but many times before he masters the skill of walking. And then he will want to run. When a baby falls down, we don’t think twice about acceptance. The falling down is a necessary part of learning to stand up and move forward. And as we progress through life, we will fall down many more times as we learn and grow. But at some point we stop getting excited about the falling down. We become self-critical, embarrassed, ashamed. We hide the parts of ourselves that we judge as “imperfect.” We stop trying. And life becomes a struggle. I work with many people on the journey of self-discovery and self-improvement. The same questions come up: “But if I accept this ‘failure,’ am I doomed to live with it forever?” “Does accepting myself where I am mean I will settle here and not improve?” Maybe what we need is a reframe. What if we looked at every step in life like we look at learning to walk? Winston Churchill said, “Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” And with no loss of self-respect or self-love. And if the self-respect, self-esteem, or self-love have been lost, they can be redeemed. This is the topic of this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle.

Forgiving Your Past 53:10

A friend once said to me, “A leopard doesn’t change his spots.” He was making the point that people do not change who they are. It may be true that we are who we are and that does not change. However, it is also true that we do not always know who we are and are therefore not always living true to ourselves – and this can make us look like spotted leopards when we are not. I’ve seen many who once looked like leopards lose their spots altogether. It takes embarking on the intentional journey to discover who you truly are and align your thoughts, beliefs, habits, and inner conviction to your truth. AND it takes forgiving the mistakes of your past. This is the topic of this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle. Join us at the top of the hour for a transformational healing experience.

Taking Action from Divine Flow 1:01:07

It helps to get quiet and meditative in order to connect with Divine Flow. Our world keeps us so busy that we need to take time out to meditate and connect with Natural Rhythms in order to reset, listen for guidance or receive divine inspiration. But do you ever experience a disconnect when it’s time to move from the connected meditative flow state into action? Like you have to enter the “real world” to get things done? It’s difficult to stay in flow state for very long once you get up and get moving. But the “flow” is moving. It is in action and it can carry you. This is the focus of this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle. We explore maintaining the focal point as we move into inspired action. Listen to this episode for a transformational healing experience.

Clearing the Clouds of Disapproval 54:36

That disapproving parent or sibling or spouse or teacher or boss or child – after enough of trying to please, your nervous system becomes poised for the attack. You know as soon as you come into their view, they are going to find something wrong with you – and they’ll let you know it. The repetitive experiences create a cloud that follows you and darkens your pathway. You are waiting for the storm, carrying the umbrella, wearing the raincoat, hip waders, goggles, snorkel, and the shield. It’s confining – impossible to freely express yourself, to be seen, heard, valued, understood. And you deserve to be free, to be seen, heard, valued, understood, fully expressed. All of these are basic human needs – your birthright. Your pathway to knowing your authentic sacred self. In this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we are clearing the cloud of disapproval and allowing the sun to shine on the brilliant light of your being – to set you free to be your divine self.

Healing the Wounds of Hypocrisy 56:19

منذ 3 years56:19

56:19

We’ve all experienced hypocrisy – from religious institutions, governments, schools, the justice system, the legal system, from our parents and families . It’s impossible to avoid, and its effects can be detrimental. While working with a client this week, we uncovered a root cause of a long-held wound. It was the experience of hypocrisy. The wound was protected by a hard wall. What surfaced from it was anger, bitterness, and hostility. There was a refusal to hear anything that came from certain sources, even a rebellion against any suggestion they made, regardless of its validity. Sometimes this even meant depriving himself, even hurting himself. But how is it that when one person makes a suggestion, we can evaluate it and if we disagree, we simply say, “No thank you.” Yet when another makes perhaps even the same suggestion, we reinforce the walls, or go into a rage and want to burn their house down. And still others, we put the blinders on and pretend everything is okay. We accept it as just the way this is, and we live with it. In this case, we discovered what made the difference was the experience of hypocrisy. What gives the experience of hypocrisy so much power over us? This is the exploration of today’s Meditation & Healing Circle. We seek to heal the wounds from hypocrisy so that we can be with the present moment, evaluate and discern what is best for us, and open to the love that is present behind our faults.

Returning to the Mother 51:51

منذ 3 years51:51

When we want to heal the family, we need to care for the mother, to be the mother, to be the earth – the stable, grounding, healing, nurturing, loving force of compassion. On a larger scale, when we want to heal the world, we need to return to care for the Mother Earth – to support her and reinforce her qualities of stability, grounding, healing, nurturing, love, and compassion. And we need to call all our earthly family home – through the attractive forces of love and compassion – to this family nucleus to care for our Mother Earth and for each other as one family. Given the strife in our global family, this return is our pathway of healing. We learn our most powerful tools for healing through our relationships with our family of origin. One is a mirror for the other, and of course they are not separate. In today’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we connect inwardly to be the mother and connect our inner mother with the Mother Earth to, God willing, illuminate and radiate the attractive forces that draw people home to the global family to care for our Mother Earth and care for each other.

How Can We Know God? 50:43

منذ 3 years50:43

50:43

My spiritual teacher used to say, “Do not stop with any outside pictures. See the Face of God in everything.” "Everything?" "Yes, everything." "But what about..." This includes everything outside ourselves and everything inside ourselves. And everything is One. This means no separation, no you versus me, no judgment of better-worse, higher-lower, worthy-unworthy, right-wrong. The poet Rumi wrote: “Out beyond ideas of right-doing and wrong-doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about ideas and language. Even the phrase ‘each other’ doesn’t make any sense.” One key to the question, “How can I know You?” is to never assume you do, to approach everything with the eye of wonder which originates in the heart of the seeker – and then ask, “Who seeks? Who sees? What is here to be revealed?” In this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we explore this question which is perhaps unanswerable in any complete form, but a beautiful guide for the Life journey. In a world that values presence, certainty, courage, and confidence, where is the place for humility and surrender? We will include this delicate dance in our exploration as well.

Surrendering into Unity Consciousness 43:34

منذ 3 years43:34

43:34

What is Unity? And what does it mean to surrender into Unity Consciousness? Unity means the state of being one. It means not making any separation between any parts of the whole, recognizing all parts of the All That Is as Only One. Surrendering into Unity Consciousness means letting go of your separateness and dissolving into the Real. It means allowing your drop to become the Ocean. This means letting go of judgments of yourself and others, forgiving yourself and others, seeing the Pure Light in yourself and others. We are one, and in our heart of hearts we desire to return our conscious state to the realization of Oneness. This is the desire of the seeker. In this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we focus on this deepest desire of the heart. We focus on dissolving into the Pure Mercy and Compassion, the Unconditional Love, the Ocean of Living Consciousness – letting go of separateness and any judgments of “other” and experiencing the Love of the Whole.

Help from the Unseen Realms 53:34

Existence is vast; it is infinite. Our seeing and hearing only perceive a small fraction of what exists all around us. We are surrounded by angels, helpers, healers, guides, and jinn. They are here to help, and because we have free will, they have to wait for us to ask them to help. In this episode we direct our focus to connect directly with our helpers and guides and we ask directly for the help and support we need – for healing, guidance, strength, forgiveness, justice, to illuminate truth, and whatever your heart is inspired to ask for. This meditation has 2 parts – the asking for support from the unseen helpers, and opening subtle perceptions and integrating subtle perceptions with physical sensory perceptions. This is from Section 5: Spirituality, from the upcoming book: The Answer is Love: Questions to Explore as We Transition into an Era of Peace . The question is “Are there more colors beyond what we can see?” It sounds like a simple question, but it is quite profound.

Accessing Inner Joy 55:40

Life can get really heavy and intense sometimes – much of the time – and we can forget to have fun and feel the joy along the way. If you are a person whose Passion and Purpose involves caring for those experiencing hardship or oppression, speaking for those whose voices are not heard, righting the wrongs in the world, or protecting the planet, your pursuit though fulfilling can take a toll on your life force. Just like love, compassion, acceptance, passion, and purpose – joy is an inside job. Fun is a necessary component of self-care. In this week's Meditation & Healing Circle, we access the inner joy and focus on building that muscle. We explore where you can incorporate more fun into your life journey. Of course, there are real life concerns and responsibilities that we cannot disregard. For this we give attention to releasing blocks by alleviating guilt, shame, worries, fears, perfectionism, and other burdens that weigh on the spirit, and we focus on increasing faith and trust in the Divine Orchestration of life on Earth. This is from Part 4: Passion & Purpose, from the upcoming book: The Answer is Love: Questions to Explore as We Transition into an Era of Peace. The question is: “I feel like I take life too seriously, always working and trying to do things right. Where is the place for fun and play?” Listen to this episode for a meditation practice to alleviate the heaviness of burdens and access more joy and fun.

Living Aligned with Your Heart's Longing 1:03:10

منذ 3 years1:03:10

1:03:10

My initial Spiritual Awakening came as a totally unexpected spontaneous event. Not drug induced or intentional in any conscious way, it lasted a full week. It changed my life from that day forward, but after that week of epiphany, I was re-immersed in the same daily life I had been living for the previous decades. I had been changed inside, filled with insights and passion. However, the life I was living was the same. The job was the same, my friends were the same, my routine was the same, my habits were the same, my obligations and commitments were the same. Much of what I was living was totally out of synch from what I had come to realize about the world and the passion I felt in my heart. My deep prayer became a call for help: How can I live every minute of every day, every habit, every choice, every word, every breath aligned with what I now knew to be true about the world? How could I live in service to the longing I felt in my heart? These are questions we explore in today’s Meditation & Healing Circle. I share with you more about my personal awakening and the guidance that followed, and tools I still use to help me clear layers of old patterning and habits so I can honor my heart’s desire to live aligned with its inner truth. I also share the reading from the next question in Part 4: Passion & Purpose from the upcoming book: The Answer is Love: Questions to Explore as We Transition into an Era of Peace.

Of course they do. It's all about keeping it safe. This is where we begin this section. "How can you feel supported to follow your Purpose when your loved ones do not want you to change?" Listen to this episode of the Meditation & Healing Circle to tap into that inner passion, to feel it and let it fill you, to allow it to be you before you ever have to change a thing! You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT. When you join live, you can stay on after the recorded meditation for Q&A, support and discussion. http://CommunityforConsciousLiving.com…

In this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle, we’ll outline this progression as we review the key takeaways from this section, the pathway of healing for your body-mind-heart and for the evolution of your soul.

We know that disease has components in the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual layers of our bodies. We know that many times, disease offers us the opportunity to see where the layers of our existence are out of sync with each other so we can bring them into harmony if we choose. As we transition into the era of Peace and Universal Harmony where we will be living primarily aligned with our spiritual essence, what will be the role of disease? As we gain clearer sight into the inner working of our multi-dimensional selves, will we still need to experience disease? This is the question for today’s Meditation & Healing Circle: “ Can we eradicate disease? ” This is from the upcoming book, The Answer Is Love: Questions to Explore as we Transition into an Era of Peace. Listen to this episode to explore the question of disease – what does a look into the future tell us about what we can do now to reduce the occurrence and impact of disease? The healing will guide you to align all the parts of yourself with the inner knowing you uncover.
