Episode 49 is a call to action. It's time for us to let go of the internal messaging we're carrying that pain equals progress. It exists in all facets of our lives, and it's literally killing us.

This meditation is designed to bring some much-needed relaxation as well as to open our eyes to the areas in our lives where we ar...

In Episode 48 we talk about the big fears that lurk under our other emotions. We can't move into and then through fear until we can recognize it and name it. This meditation is a light-hearted "fear hunt" complete with a cartoon detective assistant to help us begin to look at some of the large fears that we tend to run away from.

Episode 45 is a discussion about the very narrow view of our small ego mind versus the broader perspective we can access when we step into love and Divine energetic flow.

Episode 44 is definitely in the running for one of my favorite episodes. I talk about the three steps of Spiritual Tool-Building and why it's such an important component of living a balanced and expansive life. In this meditation we use several of our tools to get fully grounded and release that which is no longer needed, then check in with our intuition about tools that will serve us physically,...

Episode 43 is about creating smooth transitions. When we are moving out of old beliefs and into a new way of being, it can feel jerky and unsettled, but there are ways of smoothing out this transitional period. In this two-part meditation we first focus on the transitions between breaths and then on the broader transitions in our lives. Show your support for Wind Down Wednesdays: https://anchor.fm...

Episode 37 is about recognizing that the way to truly expand and grow is with love, not fear. Embracing and softening toward the shadow parts of ourselves, the "too much" and "not enough," is what allows us to open to transformation. In this meditation we visit our younger selves to hold space and send love to the person we were when we started seeing our self as flawed. Show your support for Wind...

In Episode 35 we talk about how acknowledging struggle is a sign of growth. It's important that we have awareness of when we are struggling, that we release our judgments about it, and that we understand that sometimes releasing struggle is more about tiring ourselves out and giving up than offering surrender. This is a great meditation to release some anger and struggle. Show your support for Win...

In Episode 34 we discuss challenging stigma, asking for help, and being open to receive that help.

This meditation is a gentle invitation to drop our defenses and open to receive help and unconditional love in a safe space. Show your support for Wind Down Wednesdays: https://anchor.fm/paulat...

Episode 33 is about embracing our shadow in order to fully step into transformation. So often we want to focus on the positive or the light, but true transformation requires us to really look at our darkness and learn to embrace it. In this meditation we are invited to visit our healing cave to acquaint ourselves with our darkness and then ask for help to love and transform it. Show your support f...

In Episode 32 I get really vulnerable about some of the emotional and energetic renovations I've been doing by changing a core belief about my inherent value.

This is a two-part meditation in which we practice my bone cleaning process to declutter our energy and then check in with the idea of making major renovations within our energetic field.

Episode 31 is all about having fun with sound. Using sound in an intentional way has the power to shift our energy profoundly, and the beauty of sound is that it allows us to access parts of ourselves that we can't access consciously. This is a fun meditation in which we connect to ourselves physically and emotionally with intuitive vocal toning. Show your support for Wind Down Wednesdays: https:/...

In Episode 30 we talk about how the trauma response affects our ability to sit in meditation.

I explain why I think meditation is so important in rewiring the trauma response in the brain, and we approach learning to meditate in very short segments. In this meditati...

In Episode 29 we talk about the importance of ease and the parasympathetic nervous system response.
