    Count your way to a silent mind - this meditation teaches the core concept

    #MantraMeditation is one of the simplest forms of meditation and counting simplifies it even further.The benefit of a mantra meditation is that you get to control the mind. You're using your conscious mind which limits how your subconscious mind is able to jump in and disturb you.But then as your mantra meditation progresses you can slow down your mantra and speak it more quietly. If you mind jumps in to distract you, you can pick up the pace or say the mantra more fiercely. Get angry, or even say it in someone else's voice. My favorite is Morgan Freeman. He's my mantra wingman when things get tough.But be patient, be persistent with your mantra and eventually you'll be able to whisper it and eventually stop saying it when your subconscious mind falls asleep.Then you'll experience deep states of bliss and a silent mind. Remain there and keep going deeper still.So mantra meditations give you tremendous control and power over your mind. Simple counting is so easy.Keep up the hard work my friends, and send me any questions if you have anything you're curious about.Namaste.MatIf you're serious about silencing your mind, check out my little book, "Understanding Happiness ~ Pocket Companion Workbook".

    Silence Your Thoughts - meditation to silence your thoughts by noticing the stillness between the thoughts

    I wish there was a big on/off switch for the mind, but unfortunately there isn't.Or is there????If you actively watch your thoughts, your mind seems to become self conscious and will silence itself. Then it's your turn to notice the stillness and the profound silence. But you have to be vigilant and listen very carefully for the very next thought.You have to watch your thoughts like you're listening to someone else talking. As soon as you view it like someone else, you start to gain power over it.Silence your thoughts by listening very carefully to your thoughts and the experience the profound silence with this meditation.Let me be fair, it's not an easy meditation to do. Being vigilant to your thoughts and remaining separate from the conversation is very tricky and does take a lot of practice. So be gentle with yourself. Don't get upset and don't start a conversation with yourself.The homework is to try and continue to notice the silence and observe your thoughts as you go about your evening and weekend. Just whenever you notice your mind talking, step back from the thoughts and listen to them like you're listening to someone else, and see how quickly you can silence your mind.Have an awesome weekend my friends.MatIf you're serious about silencing your mind, check out my little book, "Understanding Happiness ~ Pocket Companion Workbook".

    Crown Chakra Meditation - the final Chakra in our series is responsible for your connection to the universe

    Wow what a rush.We've been working through our Chakras one by one and finally we got to work on our Crown Chakra. This is the most sacred of all and connects you directly to the universe.It's responsible for profound experiences and spiritual awakenings. When all the Chakras are aligned and in balance and you ground yourself properly, turning your attention to the Crown Chakra can blast open that doorway into a space that is so unimaginably beautiful and full of love. It's like being given a giant hug by the universe and told that everything is OK.So, to start the Crown Chakra meditation, we will start as we always do and spend time grounding ourselves and feeling that connection with the earth. We then relax all of our muscles using our skeleton, posture and balance to sit rather than relying on muscle power.We then breathe for a little while to relax and calm the body before finally turning our attention to the Crown Chakra.We imagine a small purple flame hovering just a few inches above our head. Flickering gently. Unlike the other chakras, we don't try to grown the flame or make it more intense. We just simply watch the flame as it moves gently.This is like waiting patiently at the doorway of the universe. If the universe sees you looking at the doorway, she may decide to open it for you to sneak a peek.Keep trying, it's so amazing and transformative. You will never be the same again once you've witnessed the intense love and bliss that exists on the other side.But remember, all of your chakras have to be in balance before this doorway will open for you, so make sure you do the groundwork first.Good luck my friends.MatIf you're serious about silencing your mind, check out my little book, "Understanding Happiness ~ Pocket Companion Workbook".

    3rd Eye Chakra Meditation - balance is the key, not mystical visions of the universe

    The 3rd Eye Chakra is the chakra I get most questions about because people want to crack that puppy open and get mystical visions of the universe. Premonitions or clairvoyance.But if you don't have all your other Chakras lined up first, then you're just adding fuel to the 3rd eye chakra and bringing it out of alignment.The 3rd Eye chakra will give you great intuition and spiritual connection. You'll "just know" things. You'll be decisive and will be able to visualize and strategize. If your 3rd eye chakra is under performing or blocked, your will be indecisive, have brain fog and poor memory.If your 3rd eye chakra is over-performing, then your mind will be frantically talking to you all the time, you'll experience obsessive thinking, delusions and even nightmares. Headaches or migraines are also a sign of an overactive 3rd eye chakra.When your 3rd eye chakra is ticking along nicely (in balance) you'll receive knowledge from the universe, you'll have many ahaaa moments, you'll know when your friend is about to call. You'll just know stuff.With this 3rd eye chakra meditation we first take the time to make our connection with the earth. Relaxing our body and allowing the energy to start flowing upwards. We then use our 3rd eye chakra to visualize a blue light or sapphire right in the center of our forehead just a little above the eye brows.This light will grow brighter in intensity but remain small and intense. That's the nature of 3rd eye chakra energy. Keep it tight.Then after wards, we spend quite a bit of time bringing the 3rd eye chakra energy back down and into the other chakras. Relaxing and calming as we go. This prevents any unwanted side effects.The energy is intense so treat it with respect. Relax and let your body use the energy, try not to tell it what to do or have expectations.Have fun and be careful out there my friends.MatIf you're serious about silencing your mind, check out my little book, "Understanding Happiness ~ Pocket Companion Workbook".

    Throat Chakra Meditation - speak your truth and listen with compassion

    Continuing our series of chakra meditations, tonight we are working on the Throat Chakra Meditation.The Throat Chakra is responsible for communication. Speaking with others truthfully and also listening to others without judgment.Speaking your truth means that you will speak up when required and will not feel the need to hold back. That doesn't mean that you become a complete jerk and just tell people to their face what you think about them. But you can speak truthfully without upsetting someone when you use compassion.But if you bottle it up and bite your tongue then you are locking up your throat chakra.On the other hand, if you talk constantly without listening to others. Talk loudly or aggressively, then your throat chakra is probably overactive and the energy it spews tends to go lower in your energy system.With this Throat Chakra Meditation, we start as we always do by relaxing the entire body so we can transcend the body. Then we visualize a beautiful cerulean blue light right in the center of our throat. Imagine the most amazing Caribbean ocean color and that's the brilliant, bright blue we're looking for.Picture that getting brighter and emanating outwards and your throat chakra will start to come back into balance.Tomorrow we will be working on the 3rd eye chakra.Until then, get your throat chakra in balance with this guided throat chakra meditation.Stay safe my friends.MatIf you're serious about silencing your mind, check out my little book, "Understanding Happiness ~ Pocket Companion Workbook".

    Heart Chakra Meditation - this is my favorite chakra and it should be yours too

    The heart chakra is so amazing when it opens. You'll feel an infinite unfolding and the joy just bubbles up and overflows.The heart chakra is so transformative. Once you get that puppy opened up, your entire life changes right before your eyes.But it's no easy to open. You have to be willing to let go of a lot. Forgiveness is key. Forgive everyone and everything. Forgive yourself. And accept everything and trust that it is all the way it's supposed to be. In order to accept, say thank you. Thank you for everything in your life.In this Heart Chakra Meditation we spend time physically relaxing and connecting with the earth, before finally focusing on the heart.We then focus right in the center of our chest. First focusing on the breathing, then imagining a beautiful green glow. Imagine an emerald planted in the center of your chest, glowing and radiating light throughout your body.Finally, we forgive and we say thank you. Then we project that joy and loving energy towards someone you love as well as someone you don't love. Love everything and love everybody. You life will be transformed forever my friend.Thanks for listening,MatIf you're serious about silencing your mind, check out my little book, "Understanding Happiness ~ Pocket Companion Workbook".

    Solar Plexus Chakra Meditation - plus a bonus experiment seeing how language affects the energy

    The solar plexus chakra is the largest energy center in the body. It acts as a reservoir that all the other chakras can draw on. So the health of the solar plexus chakra is quite critical.It is your source of power and is responsible for feelings of self worth, self esteem, willpower and confidence. Martial arts practitioners cultivate the energy here to be used for strengthening their attacks. If this chakra is underperforming, it can lead to low self esteem, lethargy or chronic fatigue, a passive attitude and even shame.An over performing solar plexus chakra can also be quite troublesome. Leading to aggressive behaviors. Workaholism, perfectionism, the need to control every situation, and burnout.So to balance this chakra, we spend time during this meditation, grounding and relaxing our entire being. We then focus on building and growing a beautiful little yellow flame just below your rib cage. With each breath, we grown this flame until it becomes a golden orb, the size of a basketball.Once the solar plexus meditation is over, we got into a discussion about energy flow and how the words we use have tremendous power to affect this energy.So we did a little experiment to demonstrate that different words change the nature and direction of the energy.Enjoy my friends, and don't forget to sign up to join in-person.
