    Joe Dispenza–Inspired New Year Meditation: Intention, Visualization & Becoming

    In this Joe Dispenza–inspired guided meditation, you'll slow your nervous system, release the energy of the past year, and intentionally step into the version of yourself you are becoming. This 10-minute practice blends intention setting, future-self visualization, heart-centered awareness, and elevated emotion to help you embody alignment rather than chase outcomes. Instead of forcing goals, you'll practice becoming the person who naturally lives them. This meditation is designed for the new year but it can be returned to anytime you need a reset, clarity, or a reminder of who you're choosing to be. Best enjoyed seated or lying down. No prior meditation experience needed. Connect with Liz at www.motherhoodunstressed.com or on Instagram @elizabeth_carlile

    Healing Beyond Autism: Biomedical Breakthroughs, Spellers & Hope with Honey Rinicella

    In this inspiring conversation, I sit down with MedMaps Executive Director Honey Rinicella to discuss her family's journey through autism, biomedical healing, and the breakthrough communication method featured in the documentary Spellers. Honey shares how addressing underlying medical issues transformed her twins' health, why MedMaps is leading the way in root-cause pediatric medicine, and how her once non-speaking son is now attending college and advocating for others. This episode is a powerful reminder that there is always hope, and that healing can come from directions you never expected.

    Guided Meditation for Calm, Resilience, and Emotional Strength

    When life feels overwhelming, return to the stillness within. In this soothing guided meditation I invite you into the deep calm of the ocean, where the waves of emotion meet the wisdom of patience. Through gentle breathwork, a full-body relaxation scan, and powerful affirmations, this meditation helps you release anxiety, regulate your nervous system, and rediscover your inner strength.

Perfect for stress relief, burnout recovery, emotional healing, or winding down at night. If this meditation helped you find a little more calm today, I'd love for you to share it with a friend who might need the same reminder, that peace isn't something we chase, it's something we return to.

    The Resonance of Peace: A Quantum Meditation for Healing

    In this special guided meditation, inspired by Itzhak Bentov's groundbreaking book, Stalking the Wild Pendulum, you'll be led through a journey of vibration, stillness, and expansion. Together, we'll explore the rhythm of the universe and the quiet "still point" at the center of all motion, an opening into higher consciousness and connection with the Divine.

In the wake of recent tragic events, this practice offers a way to process grief, release tension, and send light into spaces of pain and division. Whether you are new to meditation or experienced, this practice invites you to embody the truth that you are both an individual and part of the whole, capable of shaping the world through your consciousness. What You'll Experience: • Breathing and relaxation to settle the body and mind • A visualization of Bentov's pendulum and the universal pulse • Accessing the "still point" of infinite presence • Sending healing light to yourself and to the world • Affirmations for peace, compassion, and conscious creation Thank you for taking this time to realign, expand your awareness, and become a source of harmony and healing.
