The Meditation Podcast

Many of us have spent a year or more seeing the potential for deep changes in our lives. From our work and personal lives, to our economy and justice system, the individual and collective possibilities have never been greater. So, how do we create the lives we want, the communities we want, the world we want? In today's meditation, we manifest our dreams. It is highly recommended that you first write out clear and specific details about your dream — what does it look, sound, or feel like? You will now have a guide to help you form a dream that feels real enough to touch.

In today's meditation, we go within - to charge our intuition, our divine guidance, our sense of peace and protection. This is a great meditation for the morning, or anytime you need a pause to refresh yourself.

Many parts of the world are beginning to reopen, after a year of closure, isolation, and quarantine. Many of us have experienced collective and/or individual trauma, for various reasons, and sometimes in layers. We are less familiar with working, playing, or socializing in groups. Returning to what we once thought was 'normal' can be scary, stressful, and overwhelming. In today's meditation, we enter a refuge, a safe space within, where we can recharge our energy, reset our stress levels, and recover from overwhelm. Let's step out from our screens, and from the routines that we have gotten used to over the last year, knowing that we can retreat whenever we need to.

In today's meditation we practice self love, self healing, and self acceptance. Today is a longer meditation, so we're going to jump right in. You may wish to have a blanket handy, and a pillow to either sit on or rest your head on if lying down.

As we process our experiences from the past year, it may be useful to notice the relationship between our bodies and our stress. We know that emotional stress -- including anxiety, grief, anger, and fear -- can create stress in our bodies. But we may forget that the stress in our bodies can amplify our emotional stress as well. This creates a feedback loop, where our nervous system continues to create a stress response even long after a 'threat' is gone. This can create a backlog, where we are too busy to respond 'presently' because we are re-enacting and reacting to events of the past. In today's meditation, we use simple grounding techniques to relax our bodies and to discharge our nervous system's stress response.

The only constant in the universe is change. This year, around the world, many of us have faced overwhelming changes to our careers, relationships, health, safety, and daily life. As we in the northern hemisphere enter the dark and cold winter months, we may face heightened fatigue, uncertainty, anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulty in decision making. In today's meditation, we bathe in our Divine inner light. We allow this inner light to heal us, and to guide us through the darkness of winter. Whatever darkness you face, simply let your light shine on it; let this light reveal your greatness, your divinity, your peace, and your next steps.

Not the city, but the nerve. The Vagus nerve is the nervous system's highway. Running the length of the spine, it is connected to all the organs in the body. It holds our body's responses to trauma, and plays a major role in how we deal with stress, anxiety, PTSD, and influences how we respond to perceived threats to our safety or well being. In today's meditation, we use deep breathing and intentional relaxation to soothe the Vagus nerve. The effect is usually a sense of deep calm.

I usually write a script for this intro, and I'm just going to keep it short this time. We are all going through a lot around the world, we are dealing with our personal lives, and our career or job experiences, and also a lot of fear and unknown about the economy, the political situation around the world. So today's meditation is a Reiki treatment.

Stress tends to build up over time. When we don't process or release our anxiety, our pain, our trauma, it can affect our health - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. In today's meditation, we use the breath to restore ourselves.

For many of us, daily life has changed dramatically. We are experiencing uncertainty, conflict, anxiety, stress, and a complete disruption of our social routines. This impacts our bodies in the form of stress, tension, and conflict within ourselves. In today's meditation, we destress the body, creating waves of cleansing energy to release the inner conflict that may be impeding our full experience of life.

We are experiencing unprecedented times. How can we use this time to expand our awareness, evolve our compassion and kindness, and discern through our confusion? The world within us is truly a healer, a teacher, an infinite realm that belongs only to us. In today's meditation, we practice the mindful art of going within, and "staying inside".

My friend Daniel Pohnke died in May. He made a strong impact on my life, during a difficult time. Daniel also helped us get the podcast back on its feet, at a time when we had almost given up on it. Daniel was a world traveler, meditator, songwriter, musician, educator, facilitator, light worker, and coach. His enthusiasm for life was infectious. We release this episode of The Meditation Podcast in honor of Daniel, and in support of his wife and son. Daniel led me through this meditation five years ago, on an hours-long hike around Griffith Park in Los Angeles.
