Here in the Northern Hemisphere, now is the time of harvest and preparing for the winter months. This is a period of reflection and beginning to turn inward to explore our inner landscape. It is the perfect time of year to experience the divine attributes of the Earth as reflected in our own divinity.  In this Meditation & Healing Circle, our friend Ruha Cathy Delwiche will guide you on a Reiki journey, where you can experience the life force of the earth – the primal life energy, providing sustenance and vitality to all living beings. You can immerse yourself in remembering your interconnectedness – everything on earth is interconnected and every element is related to and influences one another.  Embrace the divine within, and recognize that the divine qualities revealed by Mother Earth are already present within you. As your true nature is revealed, you cultivate greater peace, love, and purpose in life. By embracing this inner divinity, you access a source of strength, wisdom, and peace that enriches every aspect of your life. There will be periods of silence for you to write about your experience as you reflect upon what your energies are currently focused on. Within this area of focus, you ask yourself the question: what is the one thing that you can do, that if you do it, everything else becomes easier or unnecessary? Get your pen and paper and enjoy your journey...You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

One thing our US election showed clearly is that the feminine and masculine dynamics are really skewed. The truth of feminine and masculine power is not understood. Until we recognize the highest potential of the feminine and masculine, we cannot have a world of peace or unity. In this powerful Meditation & Healing Circle, we purge the old conditioning that has us still agreeing to live in archaic behaviors and beliefs, tap into the highest potential of feminine and masculine, and bring our energies into a synergistic relationship that can create true strength that can move our humanity and our planet forward into living in harmony, unity, and peace.Mark your calendar to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

In honor/anticipation of election week in the US, this Meditation & Healing Circle offers prayers and intentions for a peaceful election - calling on the purest light and highest vibrations to surround the entire process.  We begin with elevating our vibration to one of pure divine light, unconditional love, boundless compassion, and existential peace - a state where hatred and violence cannot exist. We ask first for ourselves, then for our planet, our country, and our country's leaders. Listen to this episode to add your prayers for protection to surround our country and all people of this nation. We pray that, whatever the outcome, we move forward in unity, working for the greater good of all.Set your calendar and reminder to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

Restoring Self-Trust

Restoring Self-Trust

2024-10-2744:231

When we make mistakes, we can lose faith in ourselves, but self-trust can be restored. Mistakes are inevitable, but when they are accompanied by embarrassment, humiliation, shame, or guilt, they can install this roadblock and warning sign that says "Don't ever go down this road again!" We're left feeling like we can't trust ourselves, and we drive through life with one foot on the gas and one foot on the brakes at all times. That passion we once felt for life dampens. The inner spark gets dimmed by all the walls we put around it. But that spark is still there, and it can be revived as you restore trust in yourself. Restoring self-trust is the topic of this Meditation & Healing Circle. Listen to this episode for a personal healing experience. You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

We all have those life-defining moments. They lodge images, feelings, and beliefs into our cellular consciousness that we identify with until we do enough healing to dislodge. We also have similar identifications with food, most of which are deeply embedded into the psyche, and many of which cause disharmony and disease in the body and the planet. We are imprinted with cultural beliefs, customs, traditions, and habits with food that become a part of our identity - and these often times do not align with the laws of nature in which our bodies and our planet are designed to thrive. Our relationship with food is the most important thing we can shift to foster healing and sustainability for our planet and peace in our world. In last Sunday's Meditation & Healing Circle, we did a process where we purged from our cellular consciousness the identifications with old wounds and anchored into that connection with our core light so that our core light becomes what we identify with. In today's Meditation & Healing Circle, we do a similar process around our relationship with food and those cultural and familial identities with food that keep us from living according to the laws of nature that sustain us and the planet.  Listen to this episode to realign your consciousness so together we can create a sustainable environment and a peaceful world. Please share this with others - it takes a mass effort to effect this much-needed change. You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

Do you feel like you've done a lot of work to leave your past hurts behind, but there is still a part of you that can't break free from your identification with the old traumas? Your past does not make you who you are. It just helps you discover the truth at the core of your being. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we call on the divine power of The Invincible, a power within your life force that anchors you to your core light no matter what happens to you in this earth journey. It purges out the old wounds and connects you to your primordial nature. Listen to this episode to purge identification with old wounds from your cellular consciousness and be embodied with your core light.  You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

Do you ever find yourself wondering who you would be if... if you were born to different parents, in a different place, encouraged to pursue certain gifts and talents, or perhaps if something hadn't happened that created a roadblock? Well, the spark that inspired that dream in the first place is still inside you, and you can tap into it now. You might not be able to express it in the way you could have when you were in a younger body, but there are certain qualities and characteristics that it wants to bring forth from within you that can give you a sense of fulfillment. It's not too late for that creative spark to light up and live through you, to be expressed through you. In this meditation, we explore the essence and qualities at the center of that spark and activate it so you can still be who you are called to be.    You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

There is an amazing underground network that connects all plant life. It is the mycelial network, the communications system through which plants support each other, warn each other, and collaborate. As we walk this earth, we connect with the incredible wisdom of this interwoven support system. As Muhyiddin Ibn Al-'Arabi said, we are not on this earth, we are in this earth. Our bodies are from the earth, and we are an integral part of the earth ecosystem, not separate from anything. We can tap into our connection with all of nature and the All That Is. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we tap into this network energetically to feel our oneness with everything on this sacred Earth. Connecting in vibrationally with prayer and intention, we glean the wisdom of an interconnected supportive system, to entrain our nervous systems and subconscious programming to harmonize with compassion and collaboration to create a sustainable environment and a peaceful world.This is healing, and it is key to aligning our subconscious with our oneness with all. This is a beautiful way to increase our conscious connection and inform our subconscious patterns and programming so we can live in greater harmony with the planet.  Listen to this episode for an enlightening meditation to connect with and learn from the wisdom of nature. You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

Sunday, September 22, is our Fall Equinox of 2024. This is the time of perfect balance – day and night are equal. As we connect in with the cycles of time, we are given the opportunity to go within and give thought to the balance and flow within our daily lives. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, our friend, Ruha Cathy Delwiche guides us on an inner journey, a Reiki Journey to experience a ‘Return to Balance’ as reflected within our human energy body, specifically our chakra system. We are guided through balancing our chakra system for clear access to guidance, observing our ‘human guidance,’ ‘inner guidance,’ and ’divine guidance.’ Get your journal and be ready to release limiting beliefs and layers around any voices or stuck energy found within your chakras and equally important, bring in the gifts and talents that support your Next Step in your journey towards Balance and connectedness with All That Is.  You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

You've probably heard of the theory: "When you heal an ancestral pattern, you heal seven generations back and seven generations forward." Well, I was talking to someone the other day who said, "It bothers me to heal for the ones who hurt me." I so get that. When you're angry at someone for the pain they caused you, why would you want to do them any favors? However, there is another way to look at this, and it's based on the intergenerational life cycle of the monarch butterfly. We have so much to learn from the mysteries of this incredible specimen of nature. Listen to this episode for an exploration of the life cycle of your collective ancestral healing journey, based on the awe-inspiring intergenerational life journey of the monarch butterflies.          You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

Integration of all parts of ourselves is key to healing, wholeness, and success. Last week in our Meditation & Healing Circle, we journeyed forward to connect with our future selves to receive insights about how our present-day decisions and lifestyle choices affect the future world we want to live in. In this week's meditation, we go back to our younger self to integrate lost parts of ourselves so that we can move smoothly and seamlessly toward a world of peace, love, compassion, and sustainability.   #imaginepeace #bethepeace  You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

What do you want to hear from your future self about the impact your decisions and lifestyle choices made?  This is a critical time in our history in the making. Not just politically, but culturally, morally, spiritually. What side of history do you want to be on?  In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we journey forward to connect with our future selves to listen to what wants to be revealed. Listen to this episode to receive guidance for choices you can make today to create a peaceful, compassionate, and sustainable future that your future self will want to live in. You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

We all wear many masks throughout the course of our lives. When we step into unfamiliar and uncomfortable situations, it's natural to fall into a persona that we've been conditioned to believe we need to be to be accepted and successful. Think about the mask you put on when you first went into middle school, or a new relationship, or your first job. Those masks help us get through the awkwardness, but even after we don't need them anymore, parts of them stick. They keep us from being our authentic selves.  In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we're going to bring awareness to some of the masks we have worn and explore - how are they supporting us? How are they masking our authenticity and sincerity? Do we need to keep them or are we ready to release them? Listen to this episode for self-exploration, deep cleansing, and coming back to wholeness with your authentic self.

Everyone has an inner compass, that inner guidance system that tells us when we are aligned with our highest truth and our most authentic selves. When we perceive the world from that aligned and connected place, we can make choices and decisions that support the highest good for ourselves and the planet. We can speak up for the things we care about, take action to bring about the changes we wish to see, and move in a way that uplifts our vibration and the vibration of the planet.  In this episode, we tap into that inner compass and get a visceral feeling of when we are aligned and not aligned. We invoke specific divine powers to strengthen our connection with the inner compass and develop a greater trust in ourselves. You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

No matter how chaotic life gets, there is a natural order to the universe. You are a microcosm of the macrocosm. You can align with the natural order and find harmony and balance in your life. We tend to focus on our healing and transformation, our earth journey, our cycle of growth and evolution, and our purpose. In the twenty-eight step-levels of creation, our journey is the final step (and there is no end) within the seventh stage of creation – and it is an ongoing process. Set in place before the human’s path, we are experiencing another 6 stages of creation, including 27 layers of creation which establish: Your vision and plan, and the laws of nature that govern the substance and flow of the universe, The universal container - from unity to multiplicity, The guiding principles of your inner compass, The lifecycle of this universe, Your role of stewardship,Your influencers and guides, Then humanity and the ever-evolving human journey of elevation. All of these stages and layers of creation give us immense support. When you get a glimpse of what is supporting you, you can develop greater trust and live with more ease and joy. In fact, these teachings are so inspiring, you can live with awe and amazement of the incredible life you’ve been given and the beauty that exists all around you.

Earlier in the week one of our beautiful Sufi teachers, Kabir Helminski, shared the lyrics of the classic rock song Woodstock, written by Joni Mitchell and more famously sung by Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young.  "We are stardust,We are golden,We are billion-year-old carbon,And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden."From the time I read the post, the song continued to loop in my heart.  The song is a remembrance of who we are and a prayer for peace.Later in the song it says:"And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planesRiding shotgun in the skyTurning into butterfliesAbove our nation."Listen to this Meditation & Healing Circle to contemplate and reconnect with who we are - cosmic beings as conduits for consciousness to explore this earth journey and to come to know itself and return. Join in a prayer for peace - a visualization of all bomber jets and all weapons turning to butterflies, all hatred turning to love and compassion throughout our world. You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

By now we know that uncomfortable emotions influence our food choices, eating habits, and ability to digest and absorb nutrients.  In this week's Meditation & Healing Circle, we will look specifically at how fear might be influencing our eating habits.  By fear I mean a disruption in your base chakra and belly energy centers that disturbs your primal sense of safety and security.  Whether the disruption was caused by something in this lifetime or something from a past life you brought with you to heal, we want to bring healing to those underlying agitations so you can feel more trust, security, and peace.    Listen to this episode for a gentle, compassionate healing experience.    You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.
