1Do you ever find yourself caught in the trap of trying to get things right, asking, “Why aren’t things working out for me? I’ve tried and prayed and even begged. What am I doing wrong?” I believe we all have at some point. It’s devasting! But what we often find is that we get so caught up in believing we need to do something to earn the outcome or reward or grace that we seek. And then when we look deeper, we find the voice inside that says, “You could never do enough to earn it, because you are not worthy of it. You are not enough.” But the heart still yearns, so we send out stronger pleas! We work harder to prove that we are not that defective, broken persona we are trying to overcome. We are more than that! We’ve put in the personal work to improve ourselves. Shouldn’t we be seeing better results by now? But what about that defective persona? Has she truly healed? Have you forgiven her, and has she received forgiveness? I mean the ultimate healing of divine forgiveness? Divine forgiveness is always present, waiting for us to receive it and ultimately forgive ourselves. This is a key to true healing – a healing which restores a devastated heart and lifts us to higher vibrations. This is the topic of this Meditation & Healing Circle. Listen for a restorative healing at the cellular level. You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

In today’s divided world, it seems unlikely that we can work out our differences. We’re up against an extensive, sophisticated machine that seeks to separate people into opposing factions, while sparking hatred, anger, and blame. When violence escalates and fires rage, it can be hard to hold onto hope. But we must. Each of us has some reason to believe in a brighter future – a world of love, compassion, and mutual respect. I used to work with a woman who said she had made a list of all the things she loved about her husband, and when things got tough, she would pull out that list. She would recite these things in her mind until she reconnected with her heart’s desire to keep going. These were her reasons to hold onto hope until they could work out their differences. The first reasons on my list are my great-nieces and great-nephews. I want nothing more than to see them live healthy and fulfilling lives, to develop their gifts, to find love, and to explore the beauty of this planet. When I feel myself losing hope, I start listing their names, the hopes I have for them, and specific ways I wish to be a guiding force in their lives. This is the beginning, and I know there are even more reasons I can discover when I look within. What are your reasons? Have you made a list? It's a valuable tool, becoming ever more necessary to have at the ready. Listen to this Meditation & Healing Circle for a guided introspection into the depths of your heart to discover your reasons to hold onto hope. Get a pen and paper so you can make a list.

Humans have free will, so when we need help, we must ask. There is power in calling on angels for healing your heart, asking for support, and seeking guidance. In this guided healing meditation, we clear blocks to connect with the sincere yearning in our hearts and call on our unseen support team for help. Listen for a powerful guided healing to receive and transform on the cellular level. You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

When your world is profoundly shifting, it can be difficult to trust that a supportive and stable foundation will emerge. On one hand, spiritually, a seeker aspires to surrender to the impermanence of life and trust in divine flow. On the other, she strives to hold strong to values and convictions and to stand for what is in the highest and for the greater good of all. What is moving around you and within you? Are you faced with choices, feeling called to make a splash or guided to surrender to the flow? The journey of life is a dance that we are dancing together. We are here to support each other through the full range of experiences.Listen to this healing meditation to explore the effects of the shifting sands beneath your feet, to find your inner guidance, your balance of conviction and surrender, new rhythms, new foundations, or whatever you are guided to in these changing times.

There is a saying in the Qur’an that says that when God created the Earth, she was shaking, so He set down the mountains to make her stable. Geologically speaking, when the tectonic plates of the Earth were moving, they crashed against each other, edges crumbling and lifting each other up until the movement stopped, forming the marvelous, majestic mountains. Our hearts are wired to sense the awe and majesty of the mountain ranges, to be swept away and inspired by their beauty. We feel the calming nature of stability when we sit at their base. It begs the question, when the foundations of your world are shaking, and instability appears to set the pieces on a collision course, do you too have the power to become the mountain? Can you sense the qualities of the mountains inside yourself and stabilize the forces that move through you as you witness instability around you? Can you be like the mountains to the Earth, firm and stable squelching her fears? Listen for a guided meditation to access your inner stability and be the mountain for the earth of your own existence.

Are you wrestling with the paralysis of fear? Almost everyone I talk to lately seems to be stifled by the uncertainty of the current situation and what the future holds. We’re in challenging times. This is all the more reason to bring forth your brilliance, vibrance, and your best self. You need the presence of your inner light, and so does the world. Even when the fears are justified, you can still rise above. It doesn’t mean denying what is happening or abandoning those who are suffering. It means being in the highest vibration of your authenticity and sincerity. This is the spiritual weapon to counter the forces that seek to weaken, divide, and conquer.As Maya Angelou said, “You may not control all the events that happens to you, but you can refuse to be reduced by them.” Listen to this Meditation & Healing Circle for a guided process to access and embody your brilliant light. Let your inner awesome shine and lift the vibration of your world. You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

Sometimes we need to set boundaries to protect our hearts. Many of my friends are needing to turn off the news and disconnect from what is happening in our country. It’s a lot to process. It hurts the tender places inside. And if we are losing friends and disagreeing with family members in the process, it hurts even more. So many of us are retreating and shutting down so we don’t have to feel.The purpose of setting boundaries is to create a safe space where we can be true to ourselves and flourish. How can we protect ourselves without suppressing ourselves? Without closing our hearts, suppressing our voices, and stifling our self-expression. Today we are going to begin with giving some love and compassion to the place inside that hurts. Listen to this episode to tap into the inner wisdom and guidance, and allow stability to grow from within, forming a pillar of strength and trust.

What does it mean to evolve? Our modern-day meaning is "to develop gradually from a simple to a more complex form." But we are complex creatures living totally convoluted lives! Perhaps we need to take this term back to it's Latin origin: "volvere" which means "to roll" with the "e" meaning "out of" -- to roll out of the complex chaotic states that make our bodies and our planet sick and return to a more simplistic life-generating existence.But that would mean letting go of many of the constructs we've created that give us a sense of safety - and some fulfillment - and returning to the earth for sustenance and nurturance.It would mean letting go of grudges and resentments we hold and embracing love and compassion.It would mean that we stop morphing ourselves to meet the expectations of the world and live and BE true to our nature. We are nature - not separate. It takes a lot of courage to let go into true evolution. This is what explore in this Meditation & Healing Circle. Listen to connect with your inner wisdom to align with your steps toward harmony and unity.

My teacher used to say, "Don't stop with the outside pictures. Go behind and behind and behind... until you reach the truth." But what can we do in this time when we are bombarded with so many messages and it is hard to know what is real? Our best resource is to search within and find our deeper insights. How can we use the conflicting messages to help us find what is true for us in our hearts? That is the topic of this Meditation & Healing Circle. Listen to this episode for an inner exploration to find your deeper insights and get clarity around you core values and convictions.You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

We, along with our ancestors, are a part of a collective stream of consciousness that is ever-evolving. Our ancestors have knowledge and wisdom they learned in their earth lifetimes that they passed to us. Our ancestors that have passed from the body have moved beyond the constrictions of the realm.

This week we embark on a 5-week deep dive through the Elements. Contrary to my nature – we are not going to cover all of the elements in one session. We’ll dive into one each week. We begin this week with Part 1 - Ether: The Light of Truth. We tap into the inner light that is your core consciousness - the Higher Light within you. We use the Sacred Sounds of the Elemental Globes to feel the radiance and immerse into the light of truth that anchors you, that you are here to BE. As a microcosm of the macrocosm, we call on the Light of God, An-Nur Illahi, to connect with the divine light within at the center of the heart.I share readings from a book written by my spiritual teacher: Music of the Soul, by Sufi master and guide, Shaykh Muhammad Sa’id al-Jamal ar-Rafa’i as-Shadhuli. (Sidi Muhammad Press, 1994, 1997, 2002) Listen to this episode to connect with your inner divine light and BE the light you are here to be in the world.

This is a perfect Mother’s Day message – it’s about nurturing the nurturer. Receiving the Nurturing from the infinite, eternal, ever-present Source. You're probably in the habit of nurturing others. It's what we do. But when times get tough, we need our own nurturing. We need to be nurtured. We need space to be present, to allow it in, and to feel it. Just like unconditional love, nurturing is a divine force that we can call on and receive. It comforts and heals us. It restores our strength. It is transformative. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we invoke the Divine Power of the Nurturer (Ya Rabb) and receive the healing love from the Ultimate Healer.
