Yoga Nidra: Bringing Yogic Sleep to the Massess…and Nurses!

2023-03-14 08:06:37-04

With time and repetitions, research will tell us whether it is possible to excise the spiritual components of meditation and still see the same benefits, but knee-jerk resistance to concepts that have guided meditation practices for millennia is unacceptable, especially when an effective process has already been established.

Stressed by Thoughts? Remember, They Aren’t Real!

2022-12-26 09:00:23-05

This morning, I received an email from one of my readers who wrote, "One question that I have about thoughts is, if they're not real, how do you know if they're 'true' or not...The way I've always viewed my thoughts is, well if I thought of them then they MUST be true." Do you ever wonder the same thing? If so, read on...

How to Create a Meditation Space in a Small Apartment

2022-03-27T10:02:16-04:00

I hope that this note finds you well, enjoying life and all that it has to offer...even the situations that test-you-to-the-core to practice mindfulness and awareness! ;-)

Do you have a special place in your home where you practice mindfulness, meditation, and/or reflection?

I was recently featured in an article on the Redfin site where I shared some thoughts on how to enhance your meditation by creating a space that reflects key qualities of a meditation practice. Check in out here....

Some of the topics included: ask for quiet time, set your intentions for the space, and let the sunshine in! It's pretty cool stuff, check it out...

I feel honored to have shared in the writing with other inspired creators in the mindfulness and meditation community; I hope that you'll take a moment to visit their sites as well to see what they have to offer this community.

If you feel inspired to do so, please share with me and with this community your ideas for creating a sacred space to practice; what makes it special to you? How does your space reflect the qualities of mind that you're nurturing?

Until next time, take care.

Jerome

To Meditate, Practice Unreasonable Happiness!

2021-12-14 08:00:35-05

Is happiness unrealistic? Can you really be happy with the things that you chase after in life? Is there a way to achieve a happiness that remains regardless of challenges in your life? What I've found is that through my meditation practice, I'm able to return, again and again, to a state of happiness despite troubles and challenges that may be occurring in my life. It's this kind of happiness that I consider to be "unreasonable."

Meditate on Suffering – The Power of Engaging What Bothers Us

2021-12-06 08:00:12-05

Imagine meditating while you're suffering, what does that feel like? What if, instead of trying to run away from your disturbing emotions, you engage with them and see them for what they really are, temporary and impermanent? How do you think your life would change if you were able to be with whatever arises within your mind in a state of grace and peace, instead of constantly running after the good thoughts and fleeing what makes you suffer? Would your life be different?

2021-12-04 15:35:37-05

Well, it's that time of year again. Time to...meditate? No, shop! Or, is it time to meditate on why we shop, why we consume hoping to find some outer reward to our thirst for something...new, different? Time to find happiness in...Target? Nordstroms? Amazon?

Are You Stressed By Holiday Madness? Try Meditation…and Compassion!

2021-12-01 08:00:06-05

As you learn to meditate more and realize how much of your every day suffering from jealousy, worry, anxiety and fear, are due to your mind, you'll begin to get an experience of compassion for others who also suffer the same "mind sickness" that you experience. That's the compassionate presence that you'll find in your meditation practice.

How to Meditate: Choose Your Thoughts

2021-11-23 08:00:22-05

Many of us are working on trying to become more aware of what we put into our bodies. We've come to realize that certain foods, while tempting or alluring, aren't really good for us. And so, we've become choosy - even vigilant - in deciding what to eat. But, do we do this with our thoughts?

How To Meditate: An Amazing Breakthrough in Meditation

2021-11-16 08:00:46-05

For anyone who meditates, or who has ever tried to meditate, dealing with the thoughts, emotions and sensations that arise during one's mediation practice can be a real challenge. In fact, these temporary phenomena can be such a challenge that many people abandon their attempt to meditate because of them.

Walking Meditation, Every Moment is Extraordinary!

2021-11-09 08:00:20-05

Walking meditation is a practice in many contemplative traditions. The object of this practice is to use the simple act of walking as an opportunity to practice moment-to-moment awareness. Meditation is moment-to-moment awareness. Meditation is about not being distracted in the moment.
