Happy New Week! In this week's Mmm, I talk a little about how screen time limits our mind-body system to a small space, potentially causing us to feel small, enclosed, limited. Our meditation time is a great time to practice expanding beyond--stretching our awareness out into the Milky Way! Practice stretching your awareness beyond the physical body and computer screen! Your practice will stretch you and serve you well! Take time each day to love yourself by keeping your meditation time each day! Your practice will support you and put you in the flow and peace of life! Best wishes for your week! Feel the Love, and I'll see you next Monday!

Happy New Week! In this week's Mmm, we practice observing without attachment the judgments that go through the mind when we sit for our meditation time. I share a silly little story about the arbitrary nature of opinions and judgments, and why it serves us to strengthen our ability to let all judgments-- coming from others or in our own minds -- move on by so we are clear from the blinders that judgments put on us. Watch those judgments every day and let them go on by! Your practice will serve you well! Take time each day to love yourself by keeping your meditation time each day! Your practice will support you and put you in the flow and peace of life! Best wishes for your week! Feel the Love, and I'll see you next Monday! Happy New Week! In this week's Mmm, we spend time being with our quiet, inner center, just listening to the quiet within like we listen to a dear friend who is speaking to us. We aren't judging; we are simply listening. Thank you for spending time with your best inner Friend! Take time each day to love yourself by keeping your meditation time each day! Your practice will support you and put you in the flow and peace of life! Best wishes for your week! Feel the Love, and I'll see you next Monday!

In this week's Mmm, we focus on a practice I learned from my spiritual mentor, Jane Elizabeth Hart: "Take No Thought". It is a practice of letting all thoughts go by, and not letting any of them take hold in mind or internal conversation. This is our main focus on our Mmms every week! So we use this statement to focus on today: Take no thought. In our meditation time, today and every day, we practice being beyond those life opposites, and returning our presence to our heart center. We can watch the ups and downs from the clarity and peace in our hearts, one step removed, in peace. Take time each day to love yourself by keeping your meditation time each day! Your practice will support you and put you in the flow and peace of life! Best wishes for your week! Feel the Love, and I'll see you next Monday! Happy New Week!
In this week's Mmm, we practice resting in the quiet--no matter what outer sounds are happening, and no matter what internal chatter tries to pull us in different directions. This is how we build our trust in the silence. Take time each day to love yourself! Your practice will support you and put you in the flow of life! Best wishes for your week! Feel the Love, and I'll see you next Monday! Happy New Week!
In this week's Mmm, I talk a little about human brain evolution--fun stuff! Bottom line? Meditation helps us use more of our brain/mind/conscious awareness--creating new connections in the brain and nervous system, helping us think and live from an expanded perspective. Today, we practiced simply bringing our attention back to our center, unplugging from the random arising thoughts, emotions, and sensory input. This is how we build our presence and awareness. Take time each day to love yourself! Your practice will support you and put you in the flow of life! Best wishes for your week! Feel the Love, and I'll see you next Monday! Happy April! In this week's Mmm, we practice a different breathing exercise to lead us in to our center: Breathe in to the count of six, breathe out to the count of 8, just for a few minutes before we sit in stillness. Take time each day to love yourself! Your practice will support you and put you in the flow of life! Best wishes for your week! Feel the Love, and I'll see you next week! In this week's Mmm, we acknowledge this particular week only because it is a tradition I am familiar with: Holy Week leading up to Easter. There are holy days and weeks in every spiritual tradition, and each observation has a powerful energy to it because thousands if not millions of people are gathering their energy for one purpose: honoring something greater than ourselves! So we take this Mmmeditation to acknowledge the Light of Holy Week, and the powerful spark of light in the middle of every atom and cell of our bodies! We magnify this light with our attention, and expand it to embrace our planet--which very much needs it! Being in the present moment with yourself is an act of Self Love! Take time each day to love yourself! Your practice will support you and put you in the flow of life! Best wishes for your week! Feel the Love, and I'll see you next Monday!

Scroll to the bottom of the page to find the "Guided Meditation" recording. Happy New Week! In this week's Mmm, we practice an emotional clearing technique inspired by a book I revisited this weekend called Emotional Clearing by John Ruskan. It is a powerful book, and I highly recommend it! We use part of Ruskan's process for witnessing emotions in the body, breathing through them, and allowing them to dissipate. It's not all that much different than we've mindfully practiced in many of our Mmms! If you'd like to learn more, Ruskan does a fabulous job describing this emotional clearing technique, and how to simply and effectively work with it in the body. And no, I'm not getting a kick-back if you buy his book! :) I just felt it valuable to share with you today! Take time each day to witness and allow each emotion arise and be freed from its stored place in your body. Your practice will support you and put you in the flow of life! Best wishes for your week! Feel the Love, and I'll see you next week! In this week's Mmm, we practice not "feeding the beast" of the wandering mind's false critical thoughts, and just BEING in peace. Practice your "attention muscle" every day! Lift your thoughts from negative conclusions into peaceful receptivity to the calm and clarity of the quiet mind. Take time throughout each day to be in your inner peace space. Your practice will support you and put you in the flow of life! Best wishes for your week! Feel the Love, and I'll see you next week! |
