Miriam's Meditations

After 169 episodes and over 11,000 downloads, I am concluding this podcast. I thank all of you who have listened, shared and downloaded over these years. The podcast will remain up for a few more weeks so if you have a favorite e...

An Angel Reading by Maggie Kalas of Soul Light Coach. Please join us as Maggie in a wrap-up of the year past and what to expect from the energetic realm in the final quarter of 2024, into 2025. We have moved through a great deal and center our focus on conception of the new. Having held our own through all the changes of the past year, we find ourselves still stable, no matter what winds may blow....

This chapter is especially poignant for those sensitive folks who have felt bombarded by others’ emotions and thoughts all their lives. Here we learn to discern our own thoughts and emotions, how to tune our minds to our own knowing, and how to turn down the volume on the thoughts and emotions of others.  We are reading and learning from the book Personal Power Through Awareness by Sanaya Roman, c...

One of my favorite Orin quotes ever: “Be the leader. Dare to be wise!” Here we are coming to the culmination of our work over the last number of weeks, being our wise, higher self. We have been breathing through a number of steps that have taught us to be in the center of our own lives, compassionate and open, wise and loving. We are all these things toward ourselves first, then opening to share o...

From Orin: “Your mind puts out a powerful broadcast of energy.” He goes on to tell us that our inner dialogue is important, as it determines the events people and objects that we attract. This week we use our minds to create higher energy language around our bodies, ourselves and those around us. Words matter. Some words have higher energy, for instance, love has higher frequency than like. Our pr...

Your intuition is part of your sensory system. Through your intuition, you hear inner guidance from your Soul. In this practice, we explore all the ways intuition can be received by us: through our third eye, through our hearts, and through our gut. All these parts of our sensing ability can inform us of higher guidance, information and support. We use our breath to enliven our sense of intuition,...

In this episode of Miriam’s Meditations, Maggie Kalas from Soul Light Coaching shares angelic insights as we navigate through unprecedented events unfolding in 2024. Humanity stands at a crossroads, being called to embrace a higher level of compassion towards ourselves and each other. Who are we choosing to be now? How do we choose to move forward in the midst of fear and ignorance? Are we prepare...

This week we update our pranayama skills with a joy-filled full practice. We do a few breaths we haven’t done together in a while, filling our whole field with LIGHT. We begin with drawing silver light into our spinal cord and nervous system, illuminating us from within. We proceed on to the full practice, adding in the sound of healing for our Heart. The energetic practice clears and cleanses all...

Greetings and welcome. When we embark upon a spiritual path, at some point we come to unconditional love. This is because unconditional love is the most powerful energy in the Universe and we are made of it. We can learn to radiate this amazing light to all who we encounter, and to the world. Orin tells us that unconditional love is when we have our hearts open all the time. To do this we let go o...

We could all use some peace these days. In this chapter, Orin says, “You can assist humanity in achieving peace by evolving your thoughts.” Our thoughts contribute to mass consciousness. We’ve all felt thrown about by constant bad news, but we don’t have to stay in that place. Through our breath and by evolving our thoughts with Light, we can move away from repeating lower energy thoughts. Thought...

Digging deep can be hard and sometimes unsettling. We all have ways that we hide from the truth of who we are. And Orin tells us the truth is: You are a great being. Within you is compassion, courage, strength and wisdom to live you life from a higher level at all times. In this episode we dive deep into the wellspring of knowing and wonder with our breath practice, our courage to see who we truly...

Our central idea this week is: “The more you can view yourself from a higher perspective the more accurately you are seeing who you are.” This quote from Chapter 7 of Personal Power Through Awareness by Sanaya Roman is our guidestar. We learn to use light and awareness to first understand who we think we are, then to open to who we truly are. Using this light conversation, we develop new ideas and...

Maggie Kalas Reading: Awakening Soul Light How can we, as individuals and a collective, navigate these challenging times and emerge as evolved beings? In this week's angelic reading, soul coach Maggie Kalas shares inspired insight into how we can begin to shift our lives and the world around us through the transformative path of activating our innate soul love radiance. Maggie Kalas is a pass...

We dive deep into our own energy field in this chapter, making a commitment to listen deeply to our feelings, and inner guidance from moment to moment, acting upon what is right for you in the present. We do a short breath practice then play with some exercises Orin shares in this chapter. Learning to view things from the perspective of another person, or our pets, or even the sun or a tree. These...

A gentle breath exploration brings us into a clear knowing of our own energy. From this knowing we are able to know more reliably how the energy of others is affecting us. We can use the breath to bring us into alignment with our own inner knowing, and use it to clear energy that is not in harmony with ours.  We can take this breath awareness out into our day, using it any time we need to clear, c...

Chapter Three: Directing the Unseen Energies Around You Energy is everywhere, Energy is everything. Everything we encounter, perceive and interact with is made of patterns of energy. Even you. Being able to perceive what comes to you as energy from other people, from the natural world or from anything is a skill you can learn. You are in a vast field of interacting flows and energies. You are the...

Chapter Two: Recognizing the Energy Around You This week we dive into the book, Personal Power Through Awareness. In this early chapter, we learn energy makes up everything around us and we can learn to sense that energy. In order to be able to sense energy and work with it, we cultivate a relaxed stance in the world. Orin offers the technique of making your mind go blank, or turn it into a white...

Season Seven! After 3 years and over 150 episodes of Miriam's Meditations, it feels like a good time to do something new. For the next several weeks, I'm going to be teaching from this book: Personal Power Through Awareness, an Orin Book by Sanaya Roman. (We will still be breathing too!) Reading Orin is like visiting with a kind friend whose guidance is useful and practical and above all...

Play is an integral part of this practice. Let's not take ourselves too seriously! The Guides and Beings of Light are present for us this week to share a sweet, fun practice that involves clearing away all that is ready to be released with effervescent bubbles! Light-filled energies that arise from below move through our energy field and attach to all that is of a lower energy, that which is...

Our 150th episode! Thank you everyone for joining in this practice and for sharing this podcast. Our breath is always with us. Using our focus and our relaxed attention, we learn to follow the breath into healing. Beginning with a focus on healing our bodies, we draw the breath in and out. We follow the breath to our emotional bodies and mental bodies, noticing any entanglements between these area...

You are more than you may think you are. We are all a distinct focus of consciousness, living in and creating our own distinct time line. As we expand our sense of being we come to realize we have a vast inner storehouse of wisdom and strength. In this journey we contact a future version of ourselves, wiser, more accomplished, more evolved. That future self cares about the things we care about, ou...

Stretch your body and your mind with this session of breath and meditation. Walk along the shoreline, opening to the water as a living being. Float in the waves and beneath the surface, merging with the perfect water. Lift up into the sky as we recognize the blue sky mind of sky consciousness, always motion, always changing. We shift our awareness to the shoreline, where we walk into a forest, rec...

Miriam's Meditations welcomes Maggie Kalas as she returns to present an energy update. As the winds of change move us rapidly into 2024, the last few months of intense energies have been stirring the remembrance of our soul's true abundance in light. Our spirits are beginning to lift in a newfound optimism and clarity. The season of spring unfolds the energy of transition, preparing us t...

A simple powerful practice of opening to the choices that lie before us and working with energy to discern the highest, most light-filled path forward. Using our breath practice, we create a field of clear energy. We imagine 2 choices before us on something we care about, that we are stuck on, or if we are simply hitting a wall. We use our energy senses to perceive what is there in each choice A o...
