I have meditated every day for over 1000 days in a row. I have done different types of meditations through those 1000 days.  Meditation with an app, trying just silent meditation, trying kundalini yoga meditations, etc… But I try to stick to that one type of meditation for at least 40 days.  That 40 day […]

I think for most of us our mind is really easy to “hear”.   Indeed my mind can be so loud it is hard for me to hear my body or spirit. It was my non-stop mind that made me think I couldn’t meditate. How could I sit and be still and have no thoughts for

I once feared silence part of meditation.  Now I love it. “Silence” is relative.

I love listening to guided meditations at night before I fall asleep.  It gets me in this deeply relaxed state.  I usually end up falling asleep during the meditation.  Some may worry, “Oh no! It won’t ‘work’ if I fall asleep.” I think “Oh Yay, ultimate multi-tasking AND I sleep better!” When I taught Hypnobabies

Your mind and body need to communicate with each other.  Our mind needs to respect what our body is saying.  Our body needs to hear and respect our mind. Our mind and body need to hear and respect our spirit. When you are in a relaxed and restorative state, it is easier to “hear” and
