The Wanderer's Guide to Cosmic Fabulosity

This is a stand-alone loving kindness meditation brought to you by the Wanderers Guide to Cosmic Fabulosity. Although there are many formats for a loving kindness meditation, this short, abbreviated version can be done daily to lay the foundation for this type of meditation practice and can be built upon as your practice grows..
It is important to engage this practice with a gentle heart as sometimes it is difficult to send loving energy toward ourselves as well as send loving energy directed outward to others. Be sure to do this meditation in a comfortable setting and when you can be undisturbed.

In this episode of The Wanderer's Guide to Cosmic Fabulosity, DW explores the winter blues. Looking at both seasonal affective disorder(SAD) as well as the sadness that might come with the holidays, we take a wander through a clinical lens as well as a very human lens.
As always, taking a lighter look at a heavier topic is the mode of operation here. DW cites some wisdom brought to us by scholarly literature as well as personal experience, client impressions, etc.
If you or someone you know suffers from depression and in particular depression associated with this time of year with the shorter days and/or the sadness that might come with the holiday season, be sure and pass this episode along. Below are some of the articles from which DW gleaned some of this information.
As always, we wish you the best for this holiday season and for the coming winter months. Be sure and seek support if you find this time of year particularly difficult. Remind yourself that it is a normal human experience and everything you need is inside of you.

In this episode of The Wanderer's Guide to Cosmic Fabulosity we talk about how to be with failure. The difference between perceived failure and measurable failure can sometimes be a difficult discernment.
One of the most important things we can do is learn to track the impact failure has on us and set our intentions to move through failure with an open heart, a clear mind and balance between the two.
DW speaks about the impact failure can have, mindful intentions we can take to observe how failure effects us and speaks about how we can create a buffer to self-created suffering in preparation for future failure.
It's another lighter look at a difficult topic and we hope you enjoy the episode!
