Live Free with Selena Sage

Namaste. In this episode, we explore the idea that the seeker is that which is being sought. By recognizing that you already are the peace, happiness, and freedom you seek, it is possible to just be. // Ideas from my latest book, “Finding Freedom Where You Are” are included in this discussion (link below) // Namaste. Love to all, Selena Sage // mindfulnessmeditationcoach.com

Namaste dear one. One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is to JUST BE. But this is not a message for the personal self, it’s a message for the Infinite Self. The Infinite Self is that which recognizes the changing nature of forms, thoughts, and feelings (personal self). By BEING the Self, we are free. Namaste. Love to all, Selena Sage // mindfulnessmeditationcoach.com

Namaste dear one. This reflection is about mindfully understanding loss, guilt, and regret. By accepting everything that’s happened as the path of least suffering to freedom, happiness, and peace, we embrace our opportunity to evolve and be free in the moment of now. Namaste. Love to all, Selena Sage // mindfulnessmeditationcoach.com

Namaste dear one. This episode explores how a change of perspective can change our experience of life. “Change the way you look at things and the things you look at will change.” May we remember that a cloud never dies. Namaste. Love to all, Selena Sage // mindfulnessmeditationcoach.com

Namaste dear one. This episode explores identification as the Creator (the painter), Created (the painting), or Infinite Creative potential (the blank canvas) through the analogy of painting. I hope that it might lead to deeper contemplation of how you experience, and how that experience might change due to different identification. May you know that you are Love, which is always only ever Infinit...

Namaste dear one. While reading, “The Unknown Teachings of Lao Tzu: Hua Hu Ching” by Brian Walker, I was reminded of our opportunity to ignore time by living in and as loving Presence. This is the essence of “Finding Freedom Where You Are” amazon.com/author/selenasage // Episode Note: Actual Prince quote from 1999: “I don’t celebrate birthdays, so that stops me from counting days, which stops me f...

Namaste dear one. This episode was inspired by this article: self.com/story/mindfulness-meditation-health-benefits If we use mindfulness meditation to manage our thoughts, we simply observe the thoughts (and associated feelings) that arise and allow them to flow through us. We can use the method: Observe, Record, Release to end the cycle of rumination. // For more about observation in the quantum...

Namaste dear one. In this episode, we mindfully explore happiness as a state of being that is possible for us in this moment, and every moment. I also wish my lovely Madre, who always shines so beautiful and bright, a very happy birthday today. I am because she is. Namaste. Love to all, Selena Sage // mindfulnessmeditationcoach.com

Namaste dear one. In this episode, we explore the concept of fear as False Evidence Appearing Real. We mindfully sit with our fear and transform it to insightful joy with concentration and understanding. And we are reminded to tend to the seeds of the experiences that we want to feel, while we consciously see all of the blooms that we currently have in this present moment. In this way, we live fre...

Namaste dear one. A morning walk to the ocean here in Santo Antão, Cabo Verde reminded me of a message from a beloved teacher and Saint, Sri Neem Karoli Baba: “If you do not make it empty, how will you fill it up again?” By learning to embrace loss and letting go, we recognize that divine emptiness is full of love. By remaining connected to our bodies and just being, we are able to the divine play...

Namasté. In this episode, we mindfully consider the question, “What if everything is perfect as it is,” and recognize that nothing is ever all good or all bad. By shifting our views, we are able to mindfully transform suffering with compassion and understanding. The resulting insight often inspires positive creative action that can change our experience of the world. Namasté. Love to all, Selena S...

Namasté dear one. In this episode, I’m inspired to share a brief guided meditation and exercise to facilitate the experience of letting go of an old idea for just a moment. This letting go leaves space for creativity and innovation for the new. How might you reimagine your life, and the world around you, to prioritize peace, love, and freedom? May we know peace. May the world be at peace. Namaste....

Namaste dear one. Sending love from California, where I’m inspired to share reflections about the nature of stress, anger, and worry. When we recognize that these emotions are within us, we realize our own power to shift our experience. This episode also shares quotes from my books “Meditative Questions” and “Finding Freedom Where You Are,” available at zentaobooks.com // Additional quote from Pau...

Namaste dear one. Inspired by the Zen saying, “Chop wood, Carry water,” these reflections are all about meeting each moment as it arises and returning to the silence and stillness of our true nature as Brahman — the ultimate reality. Included in this episode is a chant you may wish to repeat to return to your true Infinite Self — the silent and stillness that underlies the I AM. // Episode note: I...

Namaste dear one. Guiding this meditation is this wisdom from Sri Mooji: “Nothing is wrong with anything. It is only the relationship that you have created with them: the meaning that you have given to things that is troubling you.” Together, we release all thoughts and things, remaining present in the moment of now in and as Love. We dissolve all in the shining light of our Love, reminded always...

Namaste dear one. During the Lunar Eclipse of 5 May 2023, there is an inspiration to share this reflection with you. I invite you to use this magical time to focus earnestly on only that which you want. Embody THAT. Allow anything that is *not that* to fall away. May you feel as free as you truly are. Namaste. Love to all, Selena Sage // selenasage.com // books: zentaobooks.com // Fb + IG: Selena...

Namaste dear one. Today the inspiration was simply to read a passage from the Ashtavakra Gita (Thomas Byrom translation entitled, “The Heart of Awareness”). Every time I read the refrain, “Wherever you go, Be happy,” there was an awareness that my body smiled with extra feeling, so that is the chosen name of this episode. Namaste. Love to all, Selena Sage // selenasage.com // books: zentaobooks.co...

Namaste dear one. Heartfelt gratitude to my sister Gigi for inspiring this message. This episode also includes an excerpt from my latest book, “Finding Freedom Where You Are”: Things are not as urgency as they seem. When we recognize that things are not as urgent as they seem, we are able to be still and calm, responding only to what the present moment requires. Namaste. Love to all, Selena Sage /...

Namaste dear one. Today the inspiration is here to share this question from Sri Ramana Maharshi: “To whom has this thought occurred?” By exploring the deeper levels of this inquiry, we shift to the recognition of the “Me” that is Consciousness — beyond the body-mind. With an excerpt from my latest book, “Finding Freedom Where You Are,” we explore a way this recognition can be harnessed to be free...
