Miriam's Meditations

These days we may find we have pieces of our lives or our work that seem to be out of place, or just don't fit right. The world is evolving and changing and maybe we feel out of step. This meditation is all about harmony, harmonizing your energy and light. We first practice with our hands, touching fingertips together to harmonize the brain. Our breath deepens as we open our rib cage with thi...

We all have times when we are overstimulated. Our nervous system feels overwrought and jagged. This episode we do several practice aimed at soothing and nourishing the nervous system. Since it's almost spring, we'll do a humming breath known as Bee Breath. Just a humming sound that moves around the head and face, stimulating the nervous system and harmonizing the Vagus Nerve. From there...

This amazing idea of forgiveness as a form of pain relief was shared with me by a woman named Margaret. It speaks to the unrecognized pain we all live with by carrying around unforgiven hurts or ways we’ve not forgiven ourselves for our failings. In this practice we use the power of the breath to bring the unforgiven to the surface and breathe into it, allowing the possibility that we can release...

We are lighted beings. We can learn to recognize and build our radiance using the breath and the frequency of Peace. We begin by breathing into our physical lungs and heart, circulating the breath and prana. We extend that light to the entire body, which begins to sparkle with Light. Next we breathe light into our emotional body, circulating the light and cleaning anything that needs to be release...

Emerge feeling lighter, clearer and centered. Thi...

Have you ever seen videos of people surfing waves that are 40-50 feet high? They glide down the face of the huge vertical plane of water, which could and sometimes does sweep them away? These times may sometimes seem like we are being followed by a huge wave that threatens to knock us off our feet and sweep us away like broken sticks upon the ocean. What you may not see or realize when you watch t...

A light-hearted jaunt into the higher energies just for the fun of it. We sometimes think we need to be so purposeful and serious, especially about our spiritual journey. But doing these wonderful playful meditations without aim, not like it’s work but as a fun thing to do, this is valuable and valid in it’s own right. It is in the play and the just looking about to see what it there that we can f...

We have been practicing connecting with our Divine Self, breathing as the Divine Self, being the Divine Self. This episode brings all these together in the light of being, where we are our most open to the true nature of who we are.

A de-stressing practice that is soft and easy for these holiday times. Some gentle opening breaths, massaging our breathing spaces to create ease and openings. Then we open to our Body of Light and experience a solar radiant presence. After filling with light and warmth that is flowing to us, we experience our ordinary selves on a walk in the radiance. We notice we are trailing light, sparkles of...

When we breathe in our practice, we open to our deeper being. We all want to know who we are, and on this deeper level we are our Divine Self. The Divine Self is us. It is our expanded, greater being. As we slow down, breathe with our practice, our Divine Self and our everyday self blend, come into oneness. We can ask questions, listen for wisdom, allow challenges to resolve. When we return from p...

Beginning with a new practice, Solidifying the Breath, we learn how to concentrate the breath deep in the body with a hand gesture and smooth breath. This practice allows the breath to solidify as energy deep within the body, creating open space for more breath while clearing the mind. After our regular practice, we venture into the divine world, recognizing all creation is based upon divine patte...

A relaxing and soft practice of breath awareness leads to awareness of the Divine Self. A sweet and simple breath activity starts and permeates this episode.

We move to softening the emotional body with our breath, noticing any emotions tha...

Deep listening. Following the sound of the inner voice. Learning to discern your inner guidance as uplifting, nurturing, kind and soothing. We practice listening to our breath, recognizing the breath can bring us to center and balance. The Divine Pattern is outworking all around us at all times. We can learn to find our place in the pattern by using our imagination at first in the inner realms. As...

We as human beings are an essential link in the cosmic web. In our embodiment, we join heaven and earth energies. We begin today with stretching and settling into our bodies. We notice a stream of light energy from the heavens flowing into our heads and down to our feet. After a few breaths, we begin to draw energy up from the earth into our bodies. The energies begin to set up a union of heaven a...

We have so many opinions and sentiments about abundance. This week, we use our awareness of how the breath moves in the body, especially when we are in the top of the breath and letting the breath flow out. Air is inherently abundant on our planet earth. When we notice the fluid flowing breath, we find abundance and recognize the nourishment of breath. As we expand into breathing as our Divine Sel...
