Mindful Gratitude - Rising Above the Challenges
play

02/23/23 • 14 min

How good are you at letting things go? For some people, this is a very difficult process. The phoenix rising from the ashes is a wonderful analogy for remembering how important it is to rise above it all.

One of the most difficult things to do during any process is to learn how to keep the faith. It is easy to get discouraged. Without the struggle, we don’t have as much appreciation for the outcome. Great work takes time and if you are going to all of the trouble to create and forge a new life, then you already know it will take some effort.

This Phoenix Rising from the Ashes is also a wonderful analogy for rebirth. It shows us that we can emerge from catastrophe stronger, smarter, and more powerful than we were before. This meditation is a wonderful exercise for growth and renewal.

Sometimes we are kicked out of our comfort zone for a reason. Perhaps we were meant for much more. They say we are never given more than we can handle but many of us question that at times.

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes our struggles are what make us shine. Emerging from the struggle really gives us an intense and joyful appreciation. Looking back, we realize that our struggles made us the incredible person we are today.

Acknowledge the fact that in order to attract new solutions, you must sometimes let the pieces fall so you can start fresh again.

Some affirmations in this session are:

  • I don’t merely survive – I sur-thrive!
  • I no longer hesitate – I resonate.
  • I no longer fight – I rewrite.
  • I am not stressed, I’m blessed.
  • I don’t chase, I attract.
  • I am the Phoenix rising from the ashes.
  • Whatever is meant for me, will always find me.
  • My vibe attracts my tribe.
  • My energy is the pathway.
  • My thoughts lead the way.
  • I am the Phoenix. I will rise! It is infinitely possible for me to create and live a magnificent, blessed life.

Mindful Gratitude - A Breath of Happiness

A Breath of Happiness

Mindful Gratitude

11/03/22 • 17 min

What would it feel like to take a breath of happiness? Practicing gratitude and expressing appreciation is a great way to move closer toward a life filled with happiness and gratitude and a life in alignment with your ultimate destiny. Learning to appreciate the gifts you already have in your life and expressing gratitude for those gifts you have yet to receive can completely change the tone of your day.

Many of us are so wrapped up in trying to get ahead that we forget that we can choose to be happy and grateful NOW. We can also use mindfulness and gratitude to have faith in the unfolding journey of life.

We can take time out of our day to smell a flower or appreciate a happy moment. We can call a friend or sit with a cup of tea. We can be grateful for those things we have already been blessed with.

What you have already is priceless. You are the miracle. When you take the time to celebrate yourself you begin to really understand how amazing you truly are.

All you need to do to enjoy this meditation is to relax and close your eyes and tune into this moment in time.

Mindful Gratitude - Envisioning Your Ultimate Success
play

10/12/22 • 19 min

There are many aspects to success; material wealth is only one component. ...But success also includes good health, energy and enthusiasm for life, fulfilling relationships, creative freedom, emotional and psychological stability, a sense of well-being, and peace of mind." - Deepak Chopra

How do you define success? If you have trouble visualizing your ideal life or would you like to be able to picture yourself engrossed in work that feeds your soul, you are going to love this session.

Enjoy a relaxing walk along the beach in this beautiful session as you envision your ultimate level of success.

If you are ready to tap into every ounce of your ultimate potential this session is the perfect one.

As you walk along the beach, you’ll also enjoy the sounds of the ocean in the background. This beautiful relaxing meditation also features a mindfulness bell.

The mindfulness bell is a powerful meditation tool that was created for people who want to practice mindfulness meditation. It features the sound of a specially selected meditation bell that is played at periodic intervals to help clear your mind and guide you into a deep state of meditation.

The energy you create with your thoughts is like a force field. If your energy is focused on your goals and on success, then success is much more likely to roll in. If your energy is tied up or constantly focused on your problems and on lack and limitation, then you are really just manifesting more of it with your thoughts.

This session allows you to let go of those thoughts and feelings that may be holding you back as you focus on what your ultimate level of success is.

This session also has the Blessism for Living a BIG, Juicy Empowered life. If you are not living a BIG Juicy Empowered Life, now is the time to do so!

Blessism for Living a BIG Juicy Empowered Life!

I bless my ability to live a big, juicy empowered life and a life aligned with my passion and purpose. I bless my energy and vitality and my ability to live a life that I truly love. I take time every day to visualize my ideal life and as a result, draw it closer and closer.I have a right to live the life I want to live. I dream without limitations. I create BIG visions. I know no limitations. Whatever I focus on becomes bigger and bigger and more important every day. I am continually expanding my vision and seeing new possibilities. I focus on what kind of value I can add to the world with my creative gifts and talents. I flood my heart, mind, and soul with this empowered energy and focus as much as possible. I strive to let go of how I believe my life should be and strive to live in the flow of each inspired thought. I bless my ability to live a life without limitations. I live from the heart. I follow my dreams. I follow my bliss because that is my divine right! I bless my ability to pursue the life of my dreams in an empowered, fulfilling way.

Mindful Gratitude - Rising Above the Struggle & Living in Resonance
play

08/15/22 • 18 min

Are you ready to rise above the struggle and live in resonance? There is an aspect of mindfulness known as beginner’s mind – that allows you to start fresh and approach things as if you know nothing.

As a Zen teacher once said, “In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there are few.”

Tapping into your capacity to look at things differently can help you more than you might imagine. When you start to learn anything for the first time, you are fresh, curious, and open to all possibilities. Your mind is not yet solid with concepts, opinions, and certainties.

It’s kind of learning to look at things with a childlike sense of enthusiasm. This same approach can be used to help you reset your financial blueprint and your ideas about money, wealth, abundance, and prosperity.

In this lovely meditation, you visit a Japanese Tea House where you can clear your mind and start fresh.

There is a lot of power in a simple mindfulness meditation. The more you practice this type of meditation, the easier it will get.

This meditation features the Mindful Intention for Rising Above the Struggle and Living in Resonance.

Mindful Gratitude - A Divine Appointment with Unexpected Blessings
play

09/23/22 • 20 min

How many limitations do you place upon yourself? What kind of unconscious beliefs are keeping you from rising higher? Do you believe in synchronicities and unexpected blessings? If not, it might be time to change your thinking.

Life can change in a single moment. Your destiny is not set in stone. Every day you have a brand new opportunity to shift directions. In the wise words of Helen Keller, the struggle of life is one of our greatest blessings. It makes us patient, sensitive, and Godlike. It teaches us that although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. What a blessing this is.

Who you are today cannot exist without every single sacrifice and mistake you have made. All of the problems, challenge and life lessons have made you the incredible person you are today.

Today’s meditation is all about Unexpected Blessings! This lovely meditation is set to the music of Christopher Lloyd Clarke's Wandering in the Warmth, a dreamy, ethereal piece. Wandering In the Warmth is a quieting arrangement of chord progressions that slowly blur from one to the next, gently massaging the mind and soothing one’s nerves. Filled with affirmations and blessings to support you, you are going to love how this meditation makes you feel.

Mindful Gratitude - Living With Grace And Ease

07/27/22 • 17 min

Living With Grace and Ease in Your Healthy Fit, Toned Body.

Everything in life is about balance and contrast. Without darkness, we would not know light. Without sadness, we would not appreciate joy.

Like the yin and the yang, we need both positive and negative emotions and experiences to appreciate what we have.

Life isn’t always going to be easy.... that we know, but it shouldn’t always be hard.

Without the struggle, we may not have as much appreciation for times when everything is going well.

Without heartbreak, love would not be quite so sweet.

Are you ready to release all resistance and become a greater version of yourself? Are you looking for ways to go from mindfulness to manifestation and from stressful living to successful living? Make space for new things to come in and expect the unexpected with this peaceful, relaxing meditation where you can float down your river of dreams.

This beautiful meditation allows you to travel down a lazy river and practice moving from mindfulness to manifestation.

While we all love a good meditation, sometimes we need to know how to go from mindfulness to manifestation. The more you practice mindfulness and the more you meditate, the more you will raise your vibration and as a result, come into a vibrational alignment with those things you want, need, and desire.

Wonderful things happen when you start blessing things instead of feeling aggravated or getting upset.

This meditation also features the Blessism for Going from Mindfulness to Manifestation.
