Erin Jepson - Wild Violet Crystals

Thanks for joining me at the Wild Violet Healing podcast. This is my little corner where I can share my studies and you can see if it resonates with you. My topics will vary - a little nod to my ADHD viewpoint of the world. I intend to talk about my interests and how they can help improve my life and potentially yours. Yoga, mythology, herbs, crystals, mindfulness, energy work, divination and more could eventually make its way into an episode. Stay for what calls you, feel free to leave the rest. But my hope this helps on your wellness journey, your path of self-discovery and healing.

    Middle Path Exercise - Invoke Curiosity/ Driving

    Welcome to this space. Today's meditation is another exercise inspired by the Middle Path skill in DBT. The goal is to practice invoking curiosity when confronted with a vulnerable or challenging situation. This exercise is a simulation of a near-miss car accident. There is no real threat to harm, but if this is a trigger subject for you, please use your best judgment before listening. Your safety comes first.

    Breathwork for Absolute Beginners: Deep Breathing with Hypermobility

    Welcome! In this episode, I talk about how to take a deep breath without having to do belly breathing. Sometimes you want to keep the core/belly muscles engaged and breathe deeply at the same time. I introduce how to breathe into the full capacity of the lungs, expanding to the front, back, and sides of the rib cage. This is not the same as chest breathing, where the breath is shallow and the shoulders are involved. Check it out and let me know what you think!

    Autumn Releasing Meditation

    Welcome. Let's take a walk through the autumn forest to the river and release what is no longer serving us. Tapping into the energetics of the season, this sensory rich meditation walks alongside you, with patience and compassion, as you make the hard choice to let something go. You can come back to this as many times as you need, even in other seasons (especially if you time it to the waning moon). Enjoy. Written and performed by Erin Jepson of Wild Violet Crystals.

    On & Off the Mat - Awareness vs Mindfulness

    Welcome back! Today's episode, I talk a little about the difference between awareness and mindfulness. It had been a long time since I specifically evaluated if something I thought was mindfulness actually was - oops, room to grow and an invitation to return. Enjoy!

    30 Minutes - Bird Song Concentration Training with Pings

    Welcome! Concentrating on one thing is the prelude to meditation and it is a skill that must be practiced over and over. This short video gives you an opportunity to do that practice.  This draws in multiple senses to help you stay engaged in your practice. There is continuous bird song (audio) and there is the visual of leaves blowing in the wind I recorded from my local area. Every minute, there is a gentle ping. These serve a couple purposes. They count down the time you have left if you feel like you are struggling and want to continue but need the little reassurance that you can (time blindness). AND it gives you the gentle reminder every minute to notice that you are thinking (it is natural, we ALL do it) and to bring your attention back to your practice (this is LITERALLY what you are practicing!!).  Catching your thoughts, or rather that you are thinking thoughts, and bringing your attention back to the video, to your breath, to the sound, that is what you are practicing. That is the work of getting better at meditation.  We need to be patient, gentle with ourselves. This takes SO MUCH effort for our brains. This is not our natural state. BUT, if we can commit and recommit to this practice over and over, it can get better. It can start to help.  You can do it!
