We often overlook the transformational experience of our 5 senses. But if you learn to quiet down and really watch, hear, smell, touch, and taste, the world is different and BETTER! Do yourself a favor and give this a listen. No, meditation is not always about sitting alone in the dark!

Embrace your senses for a better world and transformational experience; meditation isn't always about sitting alone in the dark.

In my experience, recovery from a toxic substance is truly an opportunity. Not just stopping the substance abuse (and spending all this new time worrying about it) but an invitation to live a peaceful, compassionate and interesting life! So - you sought peace and connection from the way the substance made you feel. But what if I told you that all of this peace and connection exists right inside of you? No need to look outside of you, you’ve got what you need right here.

How To Stop A Panic Attack

We all experience stress, feeling overwhelmed, and anxiety. That’s part of being human. But mindfulness teaches us how to notice these things when they come up, take a step back and see them for what they really are! Just unconscious patterns that we’ve built up all these years. Part of you already knows that somehow there must be a way out of feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and anxious - Meditation reminds you that changing how you experience these emotions is all you need.

Mindfulness and meditation help manage stress, anxiety and overwhelm by recognizing them as unconscious patterns and changing the way we experience them.

Being Mindful With “Difficult” Emotions

Let’s face it - being angry is no fun. How many times have you gotten angry and said or did something that you beat yourself up for later? “I can’t believe I let that get to me!” “I need to get control of myself!” But you already know that beating yourself us never works. So what to do? Meditation shows you how to work with your anger, see what’s really causing it (pain, betrayal, not being heard, etc.), and turn it into an opportunity to regain the control you need. Hint: it’s not hard!

Meditation helps control anger by identifying the cause and turning it into an opportunity to regain control; a simple solution.

Beneath all these thoughts and feelings is a place where everything is peaceful, connected, and calm. Most of us spend most of our time grappling with our problematic thoughts. We even begin to think that these “thoughts” are us! Let’s go a bit deeper and touch this part of us that is part of everything else in the universe. When we go deeper, we feel calm. Why? Because this is our original nature. Thanks for listening - tell me how this went for you.

We can find peace and calm by connecting with our original nature, which is part of everything else in the universe, rather than grappling with our problematic thoughts.

Who Am “I”?

Half the time, when you’re thinking, it’s about something in the future (I hope she gets back to me, I wonder if I’ll get this position or I hope the vibe at dinner is better than yesterday, etc., etc., etc.) The uncertainty of what’s about to happen and the scrolling through all the scenarios are exhausting. The fact is - we can never know what the next moment is going to be like. Use this track to see how pointless projections are about the future and how you can use this moment to jump off this driverless train.

Don't exhaust yourself with future projections - use the present moment to jump off the driverless train of uncertainty.

As humans, we love to think - but often our thoughts begin to define us.

But we are not our thoughts! Meditation shows you how to break free from these repetitive thoughts and cut through your trance.

You Are Not Your Thoughts!

Like any habit (good and bad), meditation requires a small daily commitment. Even 10 minutes a day makes a very measurable difference in your life. And there is no “wrong way” to do it - there are a lot of different options - guided, silent, walking, doing the dishes, waiting for something, etc. Don’t think that 10 minutes of meditation every day will do anything for you? Confused about this whole thing? Listen to this and reach out to me if you have any questions. I’ll show you how meditation is just what you need to make that lasting change and feel happier, more peaceful, and less judgemental (even about yourself!).
