The Chakra Way Meditation Podcast

Kay is the lineage keeper of the "pre-flood" wisdom of the Ka Ta See lineage, an ancient shamanic practice taught to her by the Hekata elders from Eastern Peru. In this chat we begin to uncover the wisdom that is held in this lineage that helps us to uncover our "Song", our soul's purpose, to find the unconditional love and beauty that is our true self. This magical explora...

In this meditation we take a journey into another world, and lean into the power of the imagination. It is often said that the world our imagination sees - such as in dreams or memories - is just as powerful as the reality in front of us. If this is true, we can be the creators of our own worlds and this meditation invites you to do just that. Please embellish and elaborate your adventure, bring h...

In this episode I am talking about how you can recognise when your nervous system is dysregulated. We tend to notice the signs that are screaming very loudly at us - panic, anxiety, larger physical issues - but can we head these crises off at the pass by recognising the signs that our nervous system is becoming gently fried a little earlier so that we don't have to reach that point before we t...

How can Tibetan Buddhism and western psychology support and inform each other? Those who are seeking within the spiritual realm, practicing meditation and doing the inner work will find this chat illuminating and informative. Bill Belanger is a meditation leader and former therapist and gives us a educated take on how the melding together of Tibetan Buddhism and psychology can help us in our growt...

In this episode I am exploring something many of us are experiencing - overwhelm. Not the dramatic, falling-apart kind of overwhelm, but the quieter version that creeps into everyday life. The busy mind that won't switch off. The feeling of being permanently "on". The exhaustion, overthinking, irritability and sense that you're carrying more than you can comfortably hold. As life...

We all have many "parts" of ourselves and often they contradict each other - we want to trust and another part wants to stay safe, part of us wants adventure and another part wants certainty, part of us wants connection and another part wants solitude... In this meditation we bring an awareness to all these parts and allow the duality to exist within us. We also use the chakras as a way...

This week's meditation is inspired by a song that I adore - "The Healing Room" by Sinead O'Conner. It speaks about the space inside us all where healing is available, where infinite love and compassion resides. It speaks to the inner child, and to the parent within us and to the freedom that lives within when we can connect with our inner Universe... I hope that I have captured t...

In this meditation, inspired again by my conversation with Peter Russell, we are simply being aware of what is present through sensation. It is such a beautiful way to be fully present, to allow the mind to wander with sensations in the body. The body carries such wisdom, and as you begin to learn to tune into the body you will begin a conversation with your body that it deeply appreciates! Workin...

this was a natural, flowing conversation between two people exploring questions that matter. Talking to someone who has a lifetime of meditation experience is one thing, but talking to someone as knowledgable and articulate as Peter Russell, who has written 11 books on the subject was an absolute joy. In this conversation we discussed so much - from the simplicity that meditation is, how to deal w...

Inspired by my conversation with Peter Russell (interview out on Thursday!) this meditation is bringing our meditation practice back to the beautiful basics. I was inspired by a phrase that Peter used - "nowhere to be, nothing to do" - and in this meditation we practice being fully present, aware only that, in this moment, there is nowhere to be and nothing to do! When we can expand that...

Today's meditation is a simple yet powerful reset. We move through different states of nervous system throughout the day, but if we are unable to come back to the parasympathetic state or "rest and digest" before we settle for our down time, then the cumulative moments of stress, responsibility and hypervigilance will start to take its toll. I hope that this meditation allows you to...

In this really interesting conversation for the Chakra Way podcast I talk with Dr Angele Close who is a psychologist specialising in Matrescence - the profound, multifaceted transition of becoming a mother, encompassing, physical, emotional, hormonal, and social changes, often compared to the transformative, sometimes chaotic experience of adolescence. We talk about how this time in a woman's...

Today's meditation is inspired by the quote by Maya Angelou "Today is a wonderful day. I've not seen this one before." These simple few words hold so much power and in this meditation we will start the day right, ready to find the wonder, the joy and the potential of the day, even if it is just another ordinary day. Being intentional in finding beauty and newness in our daily liv...

This meditation was inspired by a conversation that I had with Kay Whitacker, the keeper of the Ka Ta See Shamanic lineage and traditions. Within this tradition it is taught that our essence is unconditional love and beauty. So this meditation is a nod to that work of understanding that the beauty we see around us is simply a reflection of the beauty within us. For me I see this as a recognition w...

In this episode I chat with Dr Chloe Weber about the meeting of Eastern ancient healing modalities. We discuss hormonal health, environmental health, amongst many topics. We also delve into the 5 elements and how they support and teach us about ourselves. Chloe is a fount of information and has the best energy. You can reach her at radicalrootsherbs.com and Noxiherbs.com . To get 20% off either co...

When we fall in love, when we are passionate about a project, when we give ourselves to a person or a situation we sometimes run the risk of losing ourselves. This is a massive subject that I am touching very lightly here... But the key to not losing ourselves, is to uphold our boundaries and maintain an inner steadiness. This meditation will give you the chance to get in touch with that steady in...

This meditation is for that moment when you feel like you're losing yourself - for when you are spiralling. My hope is that it meets you where you are and helps in that moment of slipping back into reactions and patterns and behaviours that you are trying to avoid. It happens to all of us. For me it feels like a tightening behind the eyes, a nervous dread in the stomach, a deep regret, shame e...

In this conversation for The Chakra Way Podcast Dr Syliva Kalicinski and I discuss the huge topic of loneliness - the energetics, the psychology, the neuroscience, the causes and the solutions for that sense of loneliness that invades all of our lives at some point. Are we lonely because we are simply not making connections or because of a deeper historical reason that goes back to our conditionin...

So many people have a quiet sense of feeling "lost", "fractured" or simply don't feel like themselves. This happens little by little - through expectations, conversations, responsibilities… until we feel a little scattered, a little far away. And because we don't lose ourselves all at once, we are unlikely to return to ourselves all at once. This meditation is an invita...

We all have moment where we feel overwhelmed. There are any number of situations, responsibilities, others emotions, carrying so much that will tip us over into overwhelm. There is a particular physical sensation that accompanies overwhelm and in this episode I wanted to give you several ways to cope with overwhelm. Firstly, we need to not resist it! Recognising that we are in that state, knowing...

Sylvia Wolfer is a grief educator, somatic practitioner and mindfulness coach who helps people deal with their grief. This is such a beautiful and nurturing conversation. We discuss all the ways to deal with our grief, what is going on neurologically, emotionally, and physically when we are in grief, and how to gently come through it, and manage the waves of grief when they arrive. Please contact...

This is the word I hear the MOST often with my clients - "I feel kinda stuck ". I cannot pretend that one meditation will get you unstuck but this is a start! We need to find out where within the body you are feeling stuck, what is it that is holding you back from taking that next step... And this meditation is the beginning of that journey. Within my CHAKRA method we employ a progressio...

I adore this time of year - as nature comes back to life, the birds start singing earlier each morning and the light returns (sorry to my Southern Hemisphere listeners!), and leaning into the potential of growth, expansion and taking a literal and spiritual breath of fresh air feels so welcome! A soft, light energy abounds that we can use to lift ourselves out of the winter layers and begin to eme...

This fascinating school of meditation was founded by Swami Rudrananda in the late 60's/early 70's following Rudi's meeting with Bhagavan Nityananda  . Stuart was Rudi's primary pupil, taking over his teachings after his untimely death in 1973. The techniques of this type of Kundalini Meditation are simple and powerful. In o...
