Miriam's Meditations

Greetings! Welcome to Season Five of Miriam’s Meditations. Thank you for downloading and listening over the summer while I was on hiatus. I also appreciate all the lovely comments and support for the podcast. This week, I invite my dear friend Maggie Kalas of SoulLightCoach.com to join us. She shares a reading from her practice using cards that speak to our deeper wisdom. She calls this reading: E...

Aloha everyone. This episode is a special sharing of spiritual Light for the island of Maui, her people and all those affected by the fires of August 8, 2023. The guides have called this episode Circles of Light. In Hawaii, there is a word for family and it is Ohana. OHana can be pictured as a circle of light. You can have an ohana that is your family, your neighborhood can be your ohana, or your...

This episode marks the end of Season Four of Miriam’s Meditations. I will be on hiatus for the summer. I hope you’ve enjoyed breathing and meditating along with us as we learned together about practice, how breath brings great light into our bodies, our minds and our emotions. It has been a great joy to bring this podcast to life and I thank everyone who listens, downloads and shares this amazing...

Hi everyone, I’m away from recording meditation class this week. Getting some early summer fun and travel.   In the meantime, if you’d like something to listen to, I was a guest on Untapped Power podcast with Amanda Strojny.  Amanda is a registered Yoga Teacher and Financial Coach working to redefine success and helping others gain confidence in their business and life. In our interview, we dived...

When we are in a state of not knowing, we open to the vastness of our consciousness and the flows of reality. When we are busily directing and checking things off our lists, we by necessity shut out a lot of input. As they say, to everything there is a season. A season of list-doing and a season of flowing with what is. When we are in a place of truly not knowing we can simply be, following the fl...

Listen in to a new conversation with Amanda Strojny on her Untapped Power podcast. Amanda talks with thought leaders on topics centering around money and worthiness, your untapped power to be who you truly are. https://amandastrojny.com/podcast We had a wonderful, deep conversation about how breath practice and regular meditation can bring your focus into a higher alignment with your true nature a...

Returning from my 6-day Light Body Meditation, I am filled with exuberance at the high frequencies of illuminated light we experienced with our Light Body Group ( OrinDaben.com ). Even with my own dedication to my spiritual practice and many consecutive days of meditating, I still find the modern world can be physically, mentally and emotionally noisy. This can cause a kind of underlying anxiety t...

Sometimes we need a reset, a return to an easy peaceful practice. Life can be difficult, even as we wish for and strive for comfort and safety. We are influenced by so many things we cannot control. In recent days and months, I have been on a journey of changes in my own life. Many have been very difficult, unexpected. Asking from me a kind of fluidity and adaptability that I sometimes didn’t know...

Spring is upon us! And with that we learn about the Spring of the breath, the inhalation of life and life force. All around us life is awakening and stirring. We walk together into a garden of beauty and color and scents and all the life forms, busy with Spring energy. These life form--the birds and bunnies, the flower and insects, the Elementals, fairies and gnomes--all create from the materials...

With the never-ending news cycles, we can sometimes feel a little battered. For over 30 years, I have used flower essences from Perelandra Nature Research Center to balance and stabilize my energy fields. Follow the link below to read about, and order if you’re inclined, their Emergency Trauma Solution (ETS). Similar to, but more powerful than Bach Rescue Remedy, this solution will help balance an...

Spiritual practice is an honor and a privilege. We are privileged to know about and have found a spiritual practice, adding light and coherence to our own lives and making an energy contribution to the world around us. We do this by adding higher frequencies such as Harmony to our own consciousness. By becoming harmonious, adding this powerful frequency to our own being, we begin to make it availa...

What’s larger on the inside than the outside? Seeds! Journey with us on an exploration of inner spaces that are vaster than they seem. Like the seed of a sunflower that is the essence of the possible huge plant, your inner being is vaster than you may know. As we learn to silence the everyday mind and turn to our inner being, we begin to notice there are many seeds of possible activities, projects...

This week we do some different breath exercises. We begin with a review of the three parts of our breathing space: abdomen, rib cage, and upper chest. We practice filling each portion of breathing space with breath one at a time. Then we put it all together into a Complete Breath. We carry that Complete Breath into the Orbit Breath, a powerful breath that brings light nourishment into the nervous...

Do you have things you worry or stress about? Is there some issue that simply feels stuck, like it hasn’t moved in a while? Recognizing that we humans often cycle or circle around on the same themes and areas without resolution or change, this episode offers a process to change and shift recurrent mental flows. Learning to be fluid within the openness of meditation creates space and fresh arenas....

Welcome to a special episode recorded at a recent workshop called Elements of Breath . In Elements of Breath, I share some fundamentals on the anatomy of breathing and the practice of breath (pranayama) for healing the emotional, physical and mental bodies. This session is informational and lively, with some breath activities woven into my talk about why we study breath, how to identify faulty bre...

Joyous richness awaits you in this journey of wonder, awe and high-frequency vitality. Beyond simply reducing stress, we travel deep into our Inner Beingness to find a new way of being alive. Our practice has matured to allow us to sense inner energies that nourish and enliven us, directing our focus to a new vista of possibilities and flows. We begin with the Orbit Breath, which enlivens and refr...

Reaching a new level of Light, you are evolving into a greater knowing of your own beingness. Begin by noticing the group of Like Attracts Like energies/consciousness all around you in whatever way you can, even if you feel you are imagining it. This richness of community assists us all by harmonizing, helping us recognize new energies, opening us to connections.  We also witness our surround of L...

So along the way, teaching this podcast, I teach from my life. My life experiences are woven into this work, for as I have progressed along my path, I have endeavored to share with all of you what i am working on, what I am learning, who I am becoming. Now is no different. Now is the time I have to be more fully truly who I am. I have spoken to you often about being WHO YOU TRULY ARE, in capital l...

Two wonderful milestones for our podcast this week: 5000 downloads and 100th episode published! So exciting for our project and deepest thanks to all of you who are listening, sharing and breathing with us. A few cosmic occurrences this week have inspired our Journey of New Light: Occult of Mars by the waxing gibbous moon Jan 30 and Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF). A bright Green comet near Big Dipper and C...

In each breath practice, we do the Minor Yogi Exercise. With this breath exercise, we call forth our perfect blueprint of being. In this episode, we explore more deeply what that blueprint is and how it harmonizes and clarifies all layers of our being. Starting with our physical bodies, we use imagination as a tool to align with the blueprint, calling Light into all our cells of the body. We recog...

Welcome the Solar Light into your consciousness as a way to open to wonder and awe. We use the wonder of our breath and the gifts of practice to recognize how wonder fills us with inner nourishment. From that opening, we use the light and love of the Sun to infill our spine and create a surround of Light. Recognizing the nourishment of the sun to create and sustain all life on our Earth, we open o...

Setting the Tone for a New Year: Welcome to Season Four of Miriam’s Meditations. I invite you to find a flow you want to follow for the coming year, such as Harmony, Abundance, Peace, Creativity, Purpose. Any quality you would like to have more of, imagine it as a flow of energy and wellness that you can connect to and amplify in your life. We will use our breath to expand this energy and allow th...

Have you ever wondered if signs and symbols mean anything? In this episode, we hear about how we each have a personal symbolic dictionary that has meaning for us alone. When we look out onto the personality-level world, we encounter symbols that can be recognized as guidance from deeper levels of reality. Also in this journey, we do our breath practice, including the Sound that Heals the Heart. We...

Are you feeling confined by outdated thoughts, ideas and beliefs about who you are? We all feel the need to stretch and expand sometimes, but may feel trapped and not have a way forward. The 14th century Persian poet Hafez speaks to us across time with these lines: Dropping Keys The small man Builds cages for everyone he knows While the sage, who has to duck his head when the moon is low, Keeps dr...
