all about meditation
Body scan meditation focuses your consciousness on the physical sensations in the body. The practice is done by “scanning” and averting your focus through your body entirely on a micro-level. #BodyScanMeditation #meditation
Insight allows us to reflect on our choices. How we chose to speak to someone, how we chose to spend the weekend, how we chose to react to someone being rude to us…it’s not a matter of micro-managing yourself, but rather simply being willing to sit down with yourself and be honest.
Although there are countless examples of meditation improving people’s lives, what we hear about less often, but is just as important to know, is that meditation can go wrong. #mdeitation
I just spent the weekend hosting an incredible live Yoga Nidra Training, training other people not only what Yoga Nidra is about and what this incredible practice is pointing to, but also how to skillfully teach it to others. I’m always so pumped when I get done teaching trainings! Even though I’m supposed to be […]
When one is solely focused on the physical world around them, it becomes easy to be governed by the illusion of duality. The veil of thoughts and the five senses pulls the mind outside of ourselves and we get enamored with the endless opposites all around us; everywhere we look and in everything we know and care about. If you’ve ever studied Sacred Geometry, then it is likely that you have come across the manifold structure known as the Torus. A Torus is the 3-dimensional doughnut form that has been used to represent a number of things in our “real” material world as well as our “potential” imaginary one. #duality #selfmastery
Meditation can be our vacation from everything in life that drains us. We can’t pin it down to any specific practice; there are so many forms that it’s best to find one that works for you. Whether traditional or new and radical, a meditation practice will leave you feeling like life doesn’t have to be so harsh. #meditation
The following is an excerpt from by blog that I thought would be great to reproduce here. In 2009, I attend and co-hosted a yoga retreat in the tropical wonderland of Costa Rica. One of the greatest appeals about the retreat was the fact that we got to live right in the thick of the […]
I was experiencing what doctors refer to as “night terrors.” As a child, it was just the norm—sleepwalking and waking up screaming in the middle of the night. It’s only looking back now that I can provide a logical explanation for it. #anxiety
With this single breath, we can see that the inhale is constricting, hard, tense. Everything feels like it’s under pressure and pushing against one another. “Matter” is condensed and space is tight/cold. The exhale is freeing and a release. It is pure expanse and movement; energy/heat. In the breath, we witness the balance that is in all of Nature; the Yin & the Yang.
The dancing bamboo and palms surrounding the Hawaiian cottage rustle and speak the sound the wind would make if it had a voice. Tropical birds, six or seven types at least, hide from view but chirp and call as loud and playful as possible, like me, also intoxicated by this beautiful island morning. As I […]
The practice of writing down your thoughts, hopes, dreams and life experiences is one of the most valuable and important spiritual practices one can have. This practice is known as journaling or keeping a personal diary. #journaling
Yoga philosophy suggests that there are many steps that coach us along the way toward understanding and experiencing our True Nature. Some of these include the cycle of becoming pliant in the heat of our own transformation then experiencing an increasingly greater knowledge of the True Self. This qualifies us for a more refined […]
Would you like to live a simpler life? Here are a handful of ways how to bid added simplicity to your life. #simplicity
Certain types of meditation will generate delta brainwaves. Delta brainwave frequencies have been shown to trigger cellular regeneration. Telomere regeneration is sparked by ultra-slow brainwaves at 0.19 cycles per second. #meditation
Avery simple but effective way to practice mediation is to focus on your breath. In fact, breath is a very common anchor to meditation throughout many different styles and disciplines of meditation. In part this is because your breath is such a fundamental part of your energy, vitality, and life. It’s also because your breath […]
