Wind Down Wednesdays

In Episode 75 we talk about what it means to have healing crisis. What are the hallmarks of a healing crisis? How can we step out of our triggered state and come back into flow and mindfulness? This meditation is a guided journey through one of my favorite practices of all time, the primordial chakra tones. You can access the free PDF from Tryshe Dhevney I mention in this episode here .

In Episode 74 we talk about rest. Rest has been demonized in our culture, and it's time we let go of those internalized rules about needing to be constantly productive. What does rest really mean? How do our needs for rest differ physically, emotionally and mentally? We discuss these questions in terms of how rest is actually a form of art.  This meditation is meant to help guide you into a r...

In Episode 73 I walk you through a recent Tarot card reading I did for myself to illustrate how it opened the door for more understanding about how I was feeling and brought me into greater clarity. We also discuss how to step away from the false projections that surround us and back into authentic direct experience. This is a delicious sound meditation to bring you back into your body, heart spac...

In Episode 72 we discuss the difference between the mental experience of gratitude and how gratitude feels in the physical body. I share how this practice allowed me to step out of fear about all the shifts happening in my life and come back fully into the body, where I was able to shift out of fear and back into ease and relaxation. We also do a Tarot card pull and talk about how we can fully har...

In Episode 71 we discuss the ingredients that make up a spiritual connection and why it's so important to see past our surface differences to the Divine spark that exists within each of us. This meditation is designed to send love to all the connections in our lives, both on this physical plane and beyond. We send love out into all of these connections for the highest good without expectation of a...

In Episode 70 we discuss the idea of different layers of spiritual cleaning: daily, weekly, and periodically. Just like in our homes, every so often our energetic body needs some deep cleaning, and I have channeled a specific process for this I call bone cleaning. This meditation is a methodical journey through the bony structures of the body to clean and polish these physical spaces in order to r...

In Episode 69 we discuss brain plasticity and building new neural pathways in the brain. It takes courage and persistence to try new things and to stick with them even when our sense of being in control is being challenged. We can build strong roots to support us as we navigate the world with openness and flexibility, and meditation is a powerful tool to help us in this journey. This meditation in...

Episode 68 is all about the importance of being true to yourself. Our uniqueness is a gift and gifts are meant to be shared. Unfortunately from an early age we are exposed to judgment and ridicule which we then internalize. We limit ourselves out of fear but it's time to be true to ourselves and share our unique gifts with the world! This meditation is about settling into the beautiful support of...

In Episode 67 we talk about what happens when we take a leap of faith and it brings up fear. We can use our spiritual tools to help process that fear and then step back into the leap of faith process. Retraining our bodies to live in ease rather than in fight flight or freeze mode is a process, and this is a great meditation to help release fear by through grounding and by using sound to step back...

Episode 66 is about what happens when a leap of faith doesn't work out the way your ego wanted it to. In this episode we talk about the steps involved in keeping the faith: acknowledging and feeling your feelings, remembering that you are fully supported by the universe, and then letting it go. This meditation is a powerful invitation to accept support in the form of a guide or loving energy. The...

In Episode 65 we talk about the "anatomy" of taking a leap of faith: stepping outside our comfort zone, loosening our grip, and releasing our attachment to the outcome. In this meditation we get very present and prepare to step out of our comfort zone by practicing oxytocin breathing for courage, focus on loosening our grip in the form of letting go of tension, and explore the idea of taking a lea...

In Episode 64 we do an intuitive tarot card pull. I talk about the history of tarot in my life, how I find it useful, and give some tips on how I like to pull cards. This is an extremely powerful Inner Child meditation in which we visit our child selves at different ages up through Young adulthood, offering our child what they needed at the time that they didn't receive and speaking affirmations t...

In Episode 63 we talk about harvesting the spiritual bounty we work so hard to cultivate both by celebrating it and by taking a break to absorb the results. We have been indoctrinated to believe that our worth is tied to how much we work and how much we produce, but we don't have to earn our worth. We are Divine beings and our worth is inherent. This is a deeply relaxing meditation that invites yo...

Episode 62 is all about spiritual bravery. I get brave with my sharing, and then we discuss how spiritual bravery is the merging of deep earthy spiritual strength with the intuitive flow of Divine energy. Spiritual bravery is what allows us to move forward with our spiritual work and to find and step into our Divine mission. In this meditation I teach a Kundalini yoga breathing technique that can...

Episode 60 is about how and why clarity is vital to our healing process. We need clarity on all levels of our being-- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual-- in order to expand into harmony. Clarity comes from intentional living and choosing to step into that clearest frequency of unconditional love. In this meditation I send share a sound bath for clearing and then we set intentions to bring...

In Episode 59 we talk about the importance of practicing shining our inner light along with some of the things we encounter in life that cause us to dim that light. In this meditation we work directly with our energetic field to expand and shine our light, then strengthen that expansion by speaking our sacred name. The song in this meditation is I Am Light by India Arie. Show your support for Wind...

In Episode 58 we talk about grief as a model for letting go, and I share how it's been hard for me to let go in many other areas of my life. We also discuss the common fears most of us have about surrender. This meditation was a favorite of my live viewers, combining sound and breathwork to invite you to deeply surrender and let go of any tension you've been carrying in your physical, mental, emot...

In Episode 57 we talk about tending the light at the top of our spiritual lighthouse. Even though the light itself is divine, the lighthouse needs tending and maintenance so that our light can shine brightly. This is a very powerful sound meditation with an exercise to fuel our light and "clean" our lighthouse windows along with an exercise to speak and share our sacred name in order to share that...

In Episode 56 we talk about the antidote to negativity: finding the sweetness in life. We can't eliminate the bitter, but we can choose to find the sweet in order to bring back balance when things are difficult. This meditation is a gentle opening to sweetness, complete with a walk through the senses to help you remember and reconnect with some of the moments of sweetness in your life. Show your s...

Episode 52 is a celebration of the one year anniversary of Wind Down Wednesdays. I talk a little bit about choosing love over fear, which I believe is the overarching theme of this show, and I give a brief explanation of kirtan. The kirtan I wrote especially for this episode is called "We Are Love." I found it to be extremely powerful in shifting us out of fear into the energy of unconditional lov...
