  1. Finding Your Way through Society's Mixed Messages

    2 DAYS AGO

    Finding Your Way through Society's Mixed Messages

    Our culture pushes us to identify with labels that tell us how we’re supposed to believe, look, and act: What does it mean to be a woman? A man? Nonbinary? A teenager? An adult? A parent? A liberal? A conservative? Independent? A professional [fill in the blank]?   What’s your stereotype? What pictures do you fit in?   The messages are full of double standards that are impossible to meet. You’re damned if you do and damned if you don't fit the pictures. This is society’s double bind.   It can be challenging in any role or stage of life to stay true to your heart and your integrity and honor your truth. And if it's hard for us adults, just think about how it must be for our children.    In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we focus on gaining clarity around the identities we fall into and the messages that condition us. We seek to release the imprints that do not fit for us and find our own way that aligns with our personal integrity. This meditation is for us personally, and also for us to get clarity on how to speak with our younger folks about the conundrums they face so we can help them find and honor what is true for them.   Our younger adults and children have strong truth meters and highly attuned BS detectors. We want to support them to honor what is real for them so they can be equipped as our future leaders that will guide us into an era of peace and sustainability. Mark your calendar to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT. When you join live, you can stay on after the recorded meditation for Q&A, support and discussion. https://CommunityforConsciousLiving.com

  2. A Virtual Burning Bowl Ritual

    JAN 5

    A Virtual Burning Bowl Ritual

    In the Q&A after last Sunday's Meditation & Healing Circle, I had a request to do a Virtual Burning Bowl ritual. So that is what we are going to do today. Get a pen, paper, and a bowl, then press play. You do not need to use real fire - I personally like ripping up the papers by hand.   A burning bowl ritual is where you write onto scraps of paper the things you want to release – unhealthy habits, beliefs, emotional patterns, relationships, jobs, financial situations – and then you ceremoniously cleanse them from your being, burning them in a safe bowl or tearing them up or shredding them, letting them release into the ethers to be transmuted or returned to their rightful place. In this meditation, we purge out what we do not want to carry forward from 2024 into 2025, and then we take it a step further. We connect with the bright and powerful parts of ourselves that we've disconnected from, cleanse them, and welcome them back in to integrate into our embodied selves. To heal means to make whole. Bring a pen, paper, and a bowl or trash bin where you can safely dispose of the papers – you do not need to use actual fire – and press play on this week's Meditation & Healing Circle.  You can get your copy of the workbook, Bridging the Gaps: A Journey to the Center of Your Self, at http://bridgingthegapsworkbook.com Hint - this recording came from a request from a live participant. Join us live and your request may become the next episode. We record the Meditation & Healing Circle LIVE every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT. When you join live, you can stay on after the recording ends for Q&A, support, and discussion. https://CommunityforConsciousLiving.com See you there!

  3. When to Hold On to Intentions (and when to let them go)

    When to Hold On to Intentions (and when to let them go)

    Did you have intentions for 2024 that were not manifested? Maybe obstacles kept getting in your way, or maybe you just didn't get to it yet, or maybe you changed your mind. But the question inevitably comes up: should I hold onto this intention and keep trying or should I let it go and move on? It's not always easy to know if it's meant to be, but we have two Divine Names, divine powers that can help us determine when something needs a bit more time for gestation and when it is ready to move forward. I explain in the meditation why we use these names as mantras. I’ll list them here so you reference them during the meditation: Al-Mu’akhkhir, The One Who holds back, to hold back and let it gestate before acting on it Al-Muqaddim, The One Who moves forward We also call on two other Divine Names which represent the cycle of death and birth or rebirth: Al-Mumit, The Bringer of Death, ending, closureAl-Muhyi, The Giver of Life, regenerative life force Listen to this episode to seek insights into what is best to carry forward, what is best to let rest for a while longer, and what is best to let go of altogether. You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT. When you join live, you can stay on after the recorded meditation for Q&A, support and discussion. https://CommunityforConsciousLiving.com

  4. Winter Solstice Reiki Journey: Whole Body Listening

    12/22/2024

    Winter Solstice Reiki Journey: Whole Body Listening

    Yesterday was our Winter Solstice, and today, our friend Ruha Cathy Delwiche will be leading us on a Holy Fire Karuna Reiki journey called "Whole Body Listening."   This is the time of darkness – we will experience the shortest period of daylight and the longest period of darkness. This is a time of release and transformation – we use the available energies to release old habits, negative thought forms, and limiting beliefs.   And just as the darkness must give way and change into the Light, we too can be ‘reborn’ into the new Light and experience the rebirth of our Soul as the Great Wheel turns. We replace outdated ideas with new patterns of feelings, new ways of being – seeds carefully planted to manifest themselves at the proper time.   Ruha Cathy's Reiki journeys are always super healing and transformative. Enjoy your journey! You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT. When you join live, you can stay on after the recorded meditation for Q&A, support and discussion. https://CommunityforConsciousLiving.com

  5. Celebrating Successes & Gratitude for 2024 - A Deep Healing

    12/15/2024

    Celebrating Successes & Gratitude for 2024 - A Deep Healing

    This one turned out to be a deep healing, more than I had originally expected. Sometimes in order to fully receive and integrate the gifts, we need to forgive ourselves for our perceived mistakes or shortcomings. That happened. Then we can receive the knowledge, intellect, and wisdom from our experiences, elevating our frequencies and expanding consciousness. That happened too. As we lift our vibrations, we stand on the new elevation as we look toward the new year.  Enjoy this healing meditation, and consider joining us live this coming Sunday. Mark your calendar and set your reminder to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

  6. Reflecting on Personal Growth in 2024

    12/08/2024

    Reflecting on Personal Growth in 2024

    Can you believe it is already December? Again? It's a good time to reflect on this past year to take into account what you have accomplished and what you have received. We are all in a time of immense personal growth whether we realize it or not. What growth has developed within you? What has changed for you over the past year?   The Great Sufi Shaykh, Muhyiddin Ibn Al-'Arabi said: "Intention gives meaning to your actions." "Interpretation gives meaning to your life."   What interpretation can you give to your experiences? What meaning does that give to your life? There is always something to be grateful for - and when we take the time, we can see it, feel it, and flourish in the grace of it. In this Meditation & Healing Circle, we reflect on this past year, our intentions and personal experiences, and we follow the journey to the center of your self to discover what this tells you about who you are. We follow the CARITAS Healing Process to assimilate this inner knowing to all layers of your being. You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT. When you join live, you can stay on after the recorded meditation for Q&A, support and discussion. https://CommunityforConsciousLiving.com

  7. Righteousness as a Feminine Strength

    12/02/2024

    Righteousness as a Feminine Strength

    Have you ever spoken up in a powerful way about something you believe to be true that does not agree with popular opinion and been called bitchy, whiny, complaining? Most women know what I'm talking about, but this may apply to men too – in fact, I hope you will all benefit from this healing. As I've been preparing to publish my book, Fear, Food, and Feminine Power, I've received a message to lean into righteousness as a feminine strength. Righteousness means morally correct, justifiable, upright, and virtuous. It is standing strong for what we feel is the right thing to do, often in the face of injustice. We have the hormone vasopressin, the mama tiger hormone, that gives us the power to defend those we love against threats. We need to embrace that power, stand strong, and not be silenced by gaslighting.   This is the focus of this Meditation & Healing Circle. Listen to this episode for an empowering healing experience.   You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT. When you join live, you can stay on after the recorded meditation for Q&A, support and discussion. https://CommunityforConsciousLiving.com

  8. Keeping Your Faith Regardless of Outcome

    11/24/2024

    Keeping Your Faith Regardless of Outcome

    Sometimes when we want something really bad, we say, “I trust... I trust… I trust…” when what we really mean is “I hope… I hope… I hope…” We are praying for a specific outcome that we want, and then if that outcome does not come to pass, we lose trust. Then we find ourselves saying, “How can I trust in a God that would allow this…?” And then we lose hope, and if we’re not careful, we find ourselves spiraling in negativity that reinforces our fears. We say to ourselves, “See, I was right!” We love to be validated. But to validate fears and visions of doom is counterproductive if we truly care about our future and the future of our planet.   We must find our faith, muster our positive energy, and see a way forward that uplifts our frequency and the frequency of the planet. This is the focus of this Meditation & Healing Circle. Listen to this episode for an experiential healing. Mark your calendar and set your reminder to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT. When you join live, you can stay on after the recorded meditation for Q&A, support and discussion. https://CommunityforConsciousLiving.com
