The Chakra Way Meditation Podcast

We all crave freedom in our lives and this may look different for everyone. We might want freedom from pain, either emotional or physical, freedom to do as we please, freedom from the weight of responsibility, freedom from the busy-ness of our lives. What does freedom look like for you? Maybe it is a physical place – the top of a mountain, a deserted beach, maybe it’s being on your own doing the t...

Her study has developed a beautiful system of the Counter Chakra Process which assists us in working with the chakras towards healing. This is a true Chakra Chat, as we shar...

Sometimes we all need to protect our energy! We know that we are perhaps entering a potentially hostile or energy draining situation and so this quick protection meditation will give you the sense of safety that you might need. Even if you do not feel as if you need it this is a great technique to have to hand. Use it frequently, so that you are familiar with it and can utilise it when you feel th...

Inspired by the Goddess Pythia, who was the Oracle of Delphi at the Temple of Apollo, this meditation asks us not only to investigate what ritual we mihgt like to develop around our meditation practice, but also to trust in the innate wisdom that we have within ourselves to answer the questions that come up for us in life. Before Pythia would give her answers to those who came from far and wide to...

Todays meditation contains techniques to help you manage anxiety and was brought about by a request from a listener. Chronic anxiety can become embedded within us as a trauma response, a mechanism that has been set in place by the body to be in a state of constant alert. When this happens the stress hormones will affect the gut bacteria and IBS becomes an issue for many. Knowledge that you have te...

In this episode I am in conversation with Meryl Arnett who is a meditation teacher and a teacher of teachers, which is always a good sign! Meryl was a font of wonderful information, ideas, concepts and tips. We discuss the different ways we came to do what we do and I think our perspectives melded together really well! If you would like to learn more about Meryl's work please do check out her webs...

Today's meditation is a simple one - a remembrance that we all have a deep well of contentment within us that we are able to access and feel. As we move towards a new season it is helpful to set simple intentions. Whilst this is a good thing to do, we don’t want to pressure ourselves into feeling like we have to rush headlong into an urgent sense of having to do or achieve. The most transformative...

Isabeau Maxwell is a medium and spiritual teacher who has developed teaching methods to allow everyone to access their intuition, their spirit guides and so much more. We discuss how she was not interested in the spiritual world in the slightest when an experience showed her that there was no way that she could avoid it! Over the last 18 years she has taught many people how to access their intuiti...

Today we are looking at the fifth and final yama of Aparigraha which is probably one of the most profound of the Yamas. It translates as non-greed, non- attachment or non-possessiveness. The literal translation is interesting – the “a” means non, the “pari” means “on all sides” and “graha” means to grab or take. So quite literally Aparigraha means "non–all sides–grab"! The idea of not being posses...

In 2019 Kathleen fulfilled a long held desire to walk the Camino Way - a spiritual walk - through France and Spain. This ancient trail has been a pilgrimage walk for many years and in my chat with Kathleen she told me why she needed to do this walk and how it helped in her healing journey. Kathleen's story is really inspirational and she is a font of the most wonderful wisdom. I really hope you en...

Today we will be meditating upon the Yama of Brahmacharya. This is perhaps the Yama that many people shy away from because the translation is the practice of celibacy or chastity! Now back in the day a yogi might indeed be expected to conserve their sexual energy, but I think we all know that Yogis are not actually expected to be literally celibate! So what does this Yama represent? Get bonus cont...

Clementine Moss is the founder of, and drummer for, Zeparella, a Led Zepplin band. She has spent the last couple of decades touring with her band whilst simultaneously exploring her deeply spiritual side through meditation, Depth Hypnosis, Shamanism, Energy Medicine and much more! Her book "From Bonham to Buddha and Back" is a beautiful read and an insight to what it is to be both a determined roc...

In this episode we are continuing with our mini series of meditating on the Yamas. These are the foundational ethical principles of Yoga. If you think of yoga as just the physical practice you are missing the other 7 fascinating limbs, branches or spokes of yoga. The Yama we are looking at is Asteya, which translates as "non-stealing". There is the obvious meaning of this but within the strictest...

Perle Noire is a Burlesque Icon and in this episode we had such a beautiful conversation around the idea of Healing Through Seduction. This is a concept that whilst it seems controversial makes so much sense - when we can learn to seduce and fall in love with ourselves, with our body, with the sensuality that we hold within us, then we can fully love and accept ourselves and there is so much heali...

In this episode we are continuing our consideration of the Yamas which are the ethical codes laid down in the Yoga Sutras. The second Yama is Satya which is a commitment to the truth. It is based on the understanding that honest communication and living is the basis for all of our relationships – with ourselves, with others and with society as a whole. We can often find ourselves conflating the tr...

I had a message from a listener reaching out to ask about how to process a loss of a friendship. We spend so much of our time focussing on recovering from the loss of romantic relationships but our friendships are the relationships that we assume will be there forever. So, how to deal with it when a friend ghosts us, a friendship drifts or we fall out with our support system - our mates. Amanda Ka...

Her traumatic childhood and experiences in life have led her to the transformative process of writing a book - Toxic Family - Transforming Childhood Trauma into Adult Freedom. We discuss how she has found freedom and how the sharing of her experiences will help others. You can find her at susangold.us In the epis...

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...
