Live Free with Selena Sage

Namaste dear one. After recording and listening to the previous episode, the immediate inspiration arose to record a follow-up. This episode presents a more simplified meditation exercise and expands the discussion to include reflections and two of the questions from my first book, “Meditative Questions” — available at zentaobooks.com // Episode correction: In my excitement, I meant to say that “M...

Namaste dear one. Today, there is inspiration to explore with you this question: What color are your thoughts? Using visualization, we reflect on various experiences of happiness / beauty, love, and peace. We identify the color of the collective energy of those visualizations and harness the power of those colors to facilitate healing and calm in our own bodies and all that surrounds us. If multip...

Namaste dear one. I’m encouraged to share a meditation with you guided by the idea: “Everything that you have now is something you once wished for.” As we explore all of the areas of our life, far beyond material possessions, we give thanks for our growth. We recognize our own expansive, infinite nature. We know that are we free and, indeed, freedom itself. Namaste. Love to all, Selena Sage // sel...

Namaste dear one. The masters advise us to give up desires, but how to do so? What if we consider that desires are just thoughts? We explore this concept through wisdom from Sri Nisargadatta, a reading from “The Heart of Awareness — A translation of the Ashtavakra Gita by Thomas Byrom, and an excerpt from my latest book, “Finding Freedom Where You Are.” // Note: To confirm, the wisdom about desire...

Then, we explore Faith — with readings from my latest book, “Finding Freedom Where You Are,” wisdom from Stephen Hawking, and Matthew 17: 14-21 from the Bible. We are reminded that faith and fear cannot coexist. With full focus on faith and all that we have to be thankful fo...

Namaste dear one. Reflecting on the nature of attachments, I share wisdom from Sri Neem Karoli Baba, with a few quotes from the book, “Miracle of Love,” and a few stories about letting go from my own journey. When we decide that our freedom is most important, we can let go and be free. Namaste. Love to all, Selena Sage // selenasage.com // ebooks: zentaobooks.com // Fb + IG: Selena Sage — Author

Namaste dear one. Starting with the idea, “Everything is Energy,” we explore what this means in our lives. I.e. BE THE ENERGY YOU WANT TO FEEL. Connecting it to the idea that everything is Consciousness, I share an excerpt of one of my favorite books, “Pointers from Nisargadatta Maharaj,” by Ramesh S. Balsekar. Further research on that reading led me to read more on the 3 Gunas—which are the prima...

Namaste dear one. Sharing a reading from the “Wei Wu Wei Ching” by Brian Browne Walker, we are reminded that our freedom is in our hands. By letting go and recognizing our true Infinite nature, we are free. // Episode note: The first distortion of the One state, as referenced from Sri Nisargadatta, is meant to be referred to as the ‘personal self.’ // Namaste. Love to all, Selena Sage // selenasag...

Namaste. In this episode, we explore The Observer Effect in Quantum Mechanics (Physics) and apply the wisdom of this science to Thoughts. Recognizing the power of our Attention (The Observer), we can be free of thoughts simply by becoming disinterested in them. In the words of Zen master Bodhidharma: “A clear mind is the Buddha.” An excerpt from my latest book, “Finding Freedom Where You Are” is a...

Namaste. Just as seeing is not made from what is seen, experiencing is not made of experience. Know that you are pure Awareness — the seeing and experiencing at the source of all. In this way, you know that you were only bound by the limited idea of yourself as a body-mind. Recognize your true Self and be free. Excerpt from my latest book, “Finding Freedom Where You Are,” is included in the episod...

Namaste. This episode explores three verses from the book, “Hua Hu Ching: The Unknown Teachings of Lao Tzu,” by Brian Walker.

Krishnamurti: “When the observer becomes the observed, know that you have arrived.” Additional excerpts from my latest book, “Finding Freedom Where You Are” and “White Fire” by Sri Mooji are also shared. When we remain as our true, infinite nature we are free. Namaste. Love to all, Selena Sage // selenasage.com // ebooks: zentaob...

Namaste. Dipping into the quantum realm, this episode first explores infinity scientifically, with inspiration from the documentary “A Trip to Infinity.” We question whether the observable universe is infinite because it’s actually growing. This science is then connected to the underlying recognition of love as the ultimate creative force, as explored with an excerpt from my latest book, “Finding...
