The Chakra Way Meditation Podcast

In today's meditation we are focusing on the first of the Yamas or ethical codes that are at the root of the Tree of Yoga. Ahimsa means "non-violence" and whilst this has its obvious meaning, within the yogic tradition it also holds the principle of being kind to the self, loving the self, forgiving the self, nurturing the self. And so this spirit of kindness to ourselves, and then by extension to...

Today’s meditation is inspired by a quote by Rabindranath Tagore. This is the quote “ Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark. In effect, the people who change our lives the most begin to sing to us while we are still in darkness. If we listen to their song, we will see the dawning of a new part of ourselves.” I love this especially because it is urging us to n...

In this chat with Amir Siddiqui we explore what it takes to set off on your self-healing and self-developmental journey. Amir has written a book chronicling his journey in his book "From Suicidal to Serene" where his journey acts as a guide to helping ourselves take a similar transformation from feeling all the negative emotions, having poor health and lack, towards serenity and fulfilment. His st...

The title of this meditation may seem slightly strange but we are meditating today on the potential of the unknown. Feeling into this is immensely freeing and allows us to let go and surrender at a deep level. If you are able to visualise then make your mystical cloud of unknowing take on a colour, make it the most beautiful cloud! If you are a sensing person then feel into in the way that resonat...

Today’s meditation is focused on the idea that we all hold masculine and feminine energy within us – regardless of your gender. It is clear when I am doing chakra readings that there is frequently an imbalance in many of us. Whilst it is clear that these energies, (that we shall call solar and lunar, to sidestep the issue of sex and gender) are useful for different moments in our lives, when we li...

To call Amrit just a Life Coach does not really do service to his experience and wisdom gained over the years of his life that he has spent in India, his early life and his globe trotting experiences! I loved his perspectives on both meditation and on the human experience and loved tapping into the deep well of his wisdom. If you would like to get in touch with Amrit you can find him at coachingno...

Remembering that we are worthy is something that is required - we have been taught that worth is something that we have to earn and work for. This is not the truth! We are born worthy. All life is worthy and in this meditation I will help you to remember your worth. That you are life, you are whole and that you are worthy. This meditation is inspired by the beautiful poetic meditations of Sarah Bl...

Using our intention is very powerful when we are wanting to access our Astral or Subtle Body. In this meditation we set out the intention to clear any negative energy that is holding us back at each chakra. You may find that you come up against resistance within your mind or body as you go through the meditation. If this is the case, then take note! This is your Astral Body telling you that there...

Dr Denise is a ray of sunshine in human form! Her positivity and attitude are inspiring and her work as a speech therapist has shown her the importance of embracing the power of our voices. Especially for women! She is encouraging women with her programme "Find Your Amazing" which is a beautiful community and a book giving women the strength and courage to use their voice, to step up for themselve...

This is a BIG one, HUGE! Inner Child work is the foundation of all our inner growth. Until we have started to make amends with our Inner Child, to start to parent ourselves we find it hard to move out of our patterns of behaviour. When the emotional needs of our Inner Child can be met by the current adult us, this is the beginning of deep healing work. Today's meditation is the start of this j...

Yes, this is another grounding meditation! But sometimes the Universal Consciousness simply calls for it and this week I have been sensing that we all need to continue our Grounding practice. This week I am introducing you to one of the so called "minor" chakras (which are my new focus right now) and this one is the Earth Star Chakra. Whilst we usually engage with the Root Chakra to help us ground...

In this episode I chat with Michelle DeKeyser about the universal issue that many mothers face - that of losing the self within the tumultuous part of life that parenting can be! It is so common to lose ourselves in parenthood and especially after lockdown and home schooling, we have maybe lost the connections that have been at the heart of our support network. Michelle is creating a new network f...

Self-compassion is something that we are sometimes lacking - we can be our own harshest critic and allow that inner critic to create stress, and frustration within ourselves. Taking the time to acknowledge how compassion works and then turning it in upon ourselves is a beautifully healing exercise. We need to remember that we all have hard times, we none of us can be or get exactly what we want al...

In this episode I am in conversation with Ulrika Karlsson, who is many things! An author, a yoga therapist, an intuitive empath and a clearer of Karma! Her book "Holy F*ck and Sacred Water" is a exploration into masculine and feminine energies and is a good indication that there will be some language in our episode. In this episode we discuss this imbalance in the yin/yang energies, also we talk a...

This episode is not technically a meditation. Yoga Nidra can be translated as "Yoga Sleep" and takes us to a place between sleep and awake, that beautiful space between the conscious and unconscious. As such, it is ridiculously relaxing! And will take you on a journey around your body and your mind. We find an exploration of the states of awareness and consciousness, and a deep sense of restfulnes...

The beautifully named Falyn Morningstar is a Funtional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. She is so interesting about how nutrition affects our energy, our health, our nervous system and how what we put in our bodies is so fundamentally important. She includes meditations and energy work alongside a more scientific approach to our bodily nutrition. We delve into subjects as broad as the diet indus...

This is a meditation to do first thing in the morning - although of course you can do it any time - but the benefits of meditating first thing in the morning are massive! In this meditation we are taking a gentle scan through the body and the Chakras and giving love and gratitude to our incredible body and the energies that it holds. It will give perspective and set you up with the best mindset fo...

This is a very special meditation that you can take with you wherever you go... It is a grounding meditation essentially, connecting you with the nurturing energy of Mother Earth, but you can adapt this to connect with Source Energy in whatever form you feel and understand that to be. Just take your time - if you are sitting in meditation without my company you can expand this to as long as you wa...

Today I am chatting with Bill Heinrich, who is an author and executive coach. Sounds pretty dry when put like that but trust me, Bill has a whole lot of wisdom to impart! His life has been one of exploration of his path as an energetic empath, and sharing the understanding of how to live a life of purpose. Please find information on Bill and his book by clicking this link. I hope you enjoy! Get bo...

Morning meditation is ideal - it sets us up for the day and gets us in the right headspace. In an ideal world we would all be able to sit in contemplation of the rising sun every day but life is not that way! This meditation is designed to take you there wherever and whenever you wake up. It is a seriously valuable habit to start each day with meditation, or gratitude, or just by not looking at th...

In this episode we are exploring one of the minor chakras - the thymus or higher heart chakra. This is positioned between the heart and throat chakras and is representative of karmic awareness, transformation and unconditional love – a love that is free of ego – it also holds compassion, and forgiveness. These qualities are often associated with the Anahata – heart chakra – but we can begin to be...

Amy Stein is a Herbalist, an Energy Medicine Educator and Breathwork Facilitator and in this episode we discuss plant medicine. This ancient wisdom that has been pushed to one side as Western Medicine took centre stage over recent history, is being reimagined and brought back to life with a scientific and intuitive angle that makes so much sense. Amy's experiences with her health have given her th...

In this beautiful yet simple meditation we are encouraging not only our kids but ourselves to remember that we can decide to change our mood - to connect with our emotions and then make a conscious choice about them. I really hope that you enjoy this practice and encourage your kids to have a basic understanding of their power of intention. You can do this practice around anything that they might...

Earth Day should be every day but this year it is on 22nd April. In today's meditation we are focusing on sending our love and appreciation to Mother Earth and taking time to take time to raise our awareness of the precious natural resources of the Earth. And to recognise and appreciate the work done by the environmental movement. In our practice we are honouring Mother Earth with gratitude and lo...

In this episode I am chatting with Terri Yuzon, CEO and Founder of Hemplily, a company that produces hemp based CBD products. The power of CBD in helping with so many common issues is astounding. Astounding that it is really only in the last few years that it has become more mainstream! For issues as wide ranging as pain, sleep, menopause, anxiety... CBD products can help! So we discussed the scie...
