NEWLY RE-RECORDED!

In a world where we tend to categorize everything as eithe good or bad or black or white, we get stuck in thinking fear has only one opposite, courage or strength. In your meditation today, I invite you to consider and meditate on other opposites; wisdom, stillness, clarity and more and how to reconnect with these qualities.

This has long been one of my favorite meditations to both teach and practice. Using our breath as our technique in meditation practices can truly enhance our practice. In this practice, The Space Between the Breaths, we find a deep inner stillness and quietness through our meditation. Please enjoy.

The vast blue sky, concealed by storm clouds is theme that is often used in meditations and visualizations. We must think of our mind and our true essence like the vast blue sky and those things that unsettle us, as the storm clouds that sometimes conceal our vastness and true essence.

Using an actual candle or simply an image of candle in your mind's eye, sit and watch the aliveness of the flame of your candle. Observe all the colors and parts of the flame and, as you settle and become more still, watch the flame move into stillness as well.

Sit and breathe with me as we go within ourselves and reconnect with the peace, calm and love and compassion of who we truly are.

When the root is deep, there is no reason to fear the wind.
~ African Proverb

Join me for this grounding meditation, as we root down into the energy of our foundation and find balance with the energies of our thoughts and our emotions.

When we connect with our subtle body (the level of soul, that sense of aliveness within us), we feel a deep sense of peace and stillness. We also connect with our true knowing and wisdom. Join me on a meditative journey to the level of the subtle body.

Sometimes, the best thing for you would be to settle down and get some deep relaxation. For this meditation practice, sit back or lie down and let me guide you into a state of deep relaxation within your own being.

One of my favorite inspirational quotes for meditation comes from Max Ehrman's Desiderata - "Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence." For me, this inspirational quote sums up why I meditate and how I want to take my meditations beyond my practices and into my whole life.
