Can Life Meditate Us? A Talk on the novel DAWNLAND
03 Sep 2024
00:09:47
Friends, this episode is a departure from my usual offerings. I will return to meditations and occasional interviews after my mini book tour, but today I'm talking about my novel DAWNLAND, and what IT has to do with meditation, particularly the question: Do we sometimes meditate by accident? And if so, what’s happening there? Inadvertent meditation might seem like an oxymoron. We usually associate meditation with intention and focus. Even devotion. But I think there are moments when life meditates us. And the more we practice, the more we open ourselves for this to happen spontaneously. The characters in DAWNLAND don’t meditate in a traditional sense, but they each have their own way of connecting inwardly. I describe examples in case they resonate with you. This talk invites you to relax your grip on "solving" and "fixing," to be radically open to the silences that emerge in your day, to notice when life meditates you. Savoring those moments, even for a breath, allows a sense of spaciousness to seep into your mind and your body, a spaciousness that allows the responses you need in any given moment to arise on its own. Thanks for listening!

NDE Guided Visualization
30 Jan 2024
00:33:38
A rerecorded, remastered version of Episode 41, this guided visualization is based on a near-death experience described by Carl Jung in his memoir Memories, Dreams, and Reflections. Jung experienced this vision as he hung on the edge of death after a heart attack. Following a brief relaxation exercise, you will be guided through this vision as if you are experiencing it for yourself. Feel free to replace the particularities of this vision with your own and let it unfold as it wishes. This meditation is a deep dive to be undertaken with care. If you have a history of schizophrenia or psychotic disorder, consult with your doctor before using this meditation.
Relax and enjoy and the journey!

Waking Dream Guided Meditation
23 Jan 2024
00:31:39
Inspired by the work of Carl Jung, this practice of cultivating a "waking dream" helps you to access the wisdom of your subconscious. In Jungian psychology, this technique is called “Active Imagination." Episode 6 of this podcast offers a similar version of this guided visualization with different music. Jung recorded his waking visions in his extraordinary illustrated journal, The Red Book. His meditative technique was recreated by MJ Dorian on his podcast Creative Codex. For deeper instruction, read "Inner Work: Using Dreams and Active Imagination for Personal Growth" by Robert A. Johnson. This meditation is a deep dive to be undertaken with care. If you have a history of schizophrenia or psychotic disorder, consult with your doctor before using this meditation. Relax and enjoy.

Heart Coherence Meditation 3: Healing
16 Jan 2024
00:27:51
This is the 3rd of three progressive meditations inspired by Dr. Patrick MacManaway’s book Cultivating Your Light Body. It builds on the strength and stability developed in the first and second practices. Here, we continue cultivating heart-centered awareness in a cycle of witnessing, blessing, and renewal, and we take the further step of using these qualities to restore right relationship to current challenging issues in our lives. We restore a healthy relationship in the pathways of energy that connect us to other people, places, and times. This practice can be demanding on your energy and attention, particularly if it is new to you, so please be gentle with yourself, and create time to practice when your energy and attention are good, and your time is spacious. Regular use and practice will allow you to remain increasingly heart-centered when contemplating and renewing your relationship with stressful or distracting issues. Over time, you'll find that the radiant blessing and renewal of the heart opens you to the possibility of miracles.

Heart Coherence Meditation 2: Synchronizing
09 Jan 2024
00:28:29
This is the 2nd of three progressive meditations that build on each other, though each can also be done separately. They are inspired by practices taught by Dr. Patrick MacManaway in his book Cultivating Your Light Body. In this meditation we develop our awareness of heart-centered consciousness to include our primary alignment, the center spindle, or vertical axis of our personal globe of consciousness and intelligence, connecting those parts of us that belong to the realms above and below, these energies align and center themselves in our heart, and when in alignment and dynamic balance, keep us both clearly connected and presently engaged in the world. Once heart-centered, clearly aligned, and conscious of self to the edge of self, the practice uses a cycle of witness and blessing to specifically heal and renew patterns of trauma and displacement that we may be holding within or around us. With use, this practice has great benefit in helping us heal, and in keeping us healthy.

Heart Coherence Meditation 1: Tuning In
02 Jan 2024
00:24:15
This is the first of three progressive meditations that build on each other, though each can be done separately. Inspired by a practice taught by Dr. Patrick MacManaway in his book Cultivating Your Light Body, this initial meditation is simple and introductory in nature, but subtle and profound in effect. It is designed to guide your awareness toward the heart, and then to bring your awareness within the heart. From this point of source radiance, the practice then expands and integrates your awareness of self throughout your body and into your personal energetic space around you. It’s designed to refresh, renew, and balance your core energies, your feelings, and your thoughts, leaving you in state of vibrant balance and creative potential. Results deepen with practice. Relax and enjoy!

New Beginnings: Affirmations for Inner Sovereignty
31 Dec 2023
00:07:20
Inspired by Byron Katie, Al-Anon, and 12-Step, these simple affirmations encourage a fresh rewiring of old conditioning. Making the quality of your consciousness your highest priority is the most life-changing action you can take. Moment to moment, are you on autopilot or responding with intention and presence? The more we stop wasting energy trying to control others, the more personal agency is available to us, offering greater clarity and autonomy over our choices and habits. We stand in our own sovereignty--a powerful place to be.

Through the Veils to Your True Essence: Guided Visualization
20 Dec 2023
00:23:05
It's easy to forget who we really are, to rush through life without pausing to experience our true essence. Yet when we take this pause, we gain clarity, groundedness, and wisdom from which to respond to life wisely rather than reactively. Eckhart Tolle uses the phrases “Little Me” and "Deep I" to distinguish the part of you that runs around on the surface of life from the timeless presence at the core of your being. This guided visualization leads you down a hall of sheer silken rainbow veils that gently peel away the outer trappings of life and lead you to the doorway of your true self. Enjoy this journey to the truth of who you are.

Yoga Nidra Luminous Deep Sleep
01 Dec 2023
01:01:15
This luminous Yoga Nidra practice invites your body into deep restorative sleep while your mind, like a night-blooming flower, opens to formless awareness. Based on a similar meditation offered by Swami Jnaneshvara Bharati, this includes a complete body relaxation, 61-point exercise, and ascending breath practice. Yoga Nidra deepens meditation and unhooks the neuro-conditioning that keeps you stuck. Studies show regular practice alleviates stress, PTSD and improves wellbeing.

Creativity as Divine Play: Talk & Meditation on Lila
29 Jul 2024
00:16:52
Creativity flows when our hearts and minds are open, and tightens when we grasp onto particular ideas of outcome. It tends to hide from us when we take ourselves too seriously. Lightness of spirit is key. "Lila" is a Hindu term that has many layers. It describes the effortless play between the relative world and the absolute. Lila manifests when when fullness, unable to contain itself, spills over into creation. This episode includes a 7-minute talk about creativity that alludes to Carl Jung's method of Active Imagination and the benefits of paying attention to our dreams. If you wish to skip over the talk, the meditation begins at about 7:40. Relax, enjoy, and have fun!

Morning Prayer
12 Jun 2023
00:10:08
This morning prayer invites you to delight in your human existence and to freely call out for divine assistance. It is based on a Tibetan Buddhist daily practice called "Nectar of the Path" taught by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. It includes The Four Thoughts, Refuge & Bodhichitta, and Guru Yoga. In some cases, I have put the prayers into my own words to make them relatable to a non-buddhist. The original text is available through Tergar.org.

Heart Coherence Basic Meditation
15 May 2023

It influences your environment and those around you. Through meditative stillness, you can experience this energy field, bless it with your love, and bring greater coherence to your life.

Open Awareness Ocean Expanse Meditation
15 May 2024
00:21:25
Open awareness is a non-referential meditation, meaning you don’t use any reference point such as the breath or the body to keep your mind focused. Those focal points are useful as first, but as you progress, they can hold you back. In open awareness, your attention rests with everything that’s happening. To this end, you meditate with your eyes gently open. Normally our eyes are trained to focus on a single object. Here, you softly take in everything in your field of vision simultaneously, particularly the periphery, the way you might gaze at a wide expanse of ocean.
In this way, you go beyond sitting in mindfulness to expand your meditation to embrace your daily life. The practice of openness can feel challenging at first because our minds are so habituated to contracting—around our problems, our storylines, our ideas—but the more you practice, the more you realize that openness is actually your natural state, and contraction is the source of suffering. Openness is the key to your freedom.

Indra's Net Guided Meditation
17 Apr 2023
00:15:57
Indra’s Net is a Buddhist metaphor for the interconnectedness of the universe, or what modern physics might call the quantum field. Alan Watts said: “Imagine a multidimensional spider’s web in the early morning covered with dewdrops. And every dewdrop contains the reflection of all the other dewdrops. And so ad infinitum." Meditating on Indra’s Net reminds us of our unity with each other and all of creation. Let yourself bask in this deep connection. Music by Christopher Lloyd Clarke.

Healing Energy for a Loved One: Guided Meditation
10 Apr 2023
00:14:48
This practice transforms the corrosive aspects of worry into healing energy for you and the person you worry about.

The practice can be used to offer healing energy to a family member, friend, stranger, pet, landscape, or the planet itself. Drawing from the teachings of Adyashanti, the key is to radically trust the other’s journey as well as your own. Music by Christopher Lloyd Clarke.

Tonglen Pema Chödrön Inspired Meditation
27 Mar 2023
00:13:59
In the Tibetan Buddhist practice of Tonglen, “taking and sending,” you visualize taking in the pain of another on the in-breath and sending out healing energy on the out-breath. The process deepens your heart, widens your circle of compassion, and frees you from the mire of pity. You cultivate love, and begin to access the open dimension of your being. This meditation emulates the style of Tonglen taught by Pema Chödrön.

Tranquil Shamatha Short Version
18 Apr 2024
00:15:06
This is a shorter version of Episode 71 "Tranquil Ocean Shamatha," with a bit less instruction. Shamatha or “peaceful abiding” helps stabilize the mind by cultivating a steady awareness of the object of meditation, in this case, the breath. You can do the same practice using alternative anchors such as bodily sensations or sounds. Staying present to an anchor provides scaffolding or training wheels to help keep your mind focused. Over time, practicing Shamatha meditation steadies you inwardly. You learn to calmly witness your thoughts without being triggered by them. Eventually, this leads to a natural decrease in unhelpful thoughts. Very freeing! This meditation is partly inspired by one offered in the book REVERSE MEDITATIONS by Andrew Holecek. Relax and enjoy!
