 Heart Mind | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 775

When the attachment to thoughts subsides our mind naturally gets quiet and we begin to experience gaps between thoughts. In these gaps we can hear the soft -spoken voice of the heart.This soft-spoken voice is a compass, that can point us to the direction we need to travel - inward.In life sometimes we need guidance and advice so we may look outward to our friends and family for counsel and wisdom. My advice to you is this, seek the inward path to your own inner teacher, it’s there for us at anytime and any place. This guide has always been there within us we were born with it, at times it’s just difficult or impossible to hear. The voice of the heart is quiet, soft and non intrusive. On the other had the external noises of life are often so harsh and loud that the soto voice of our heart is drowned out completely. What can we do to hear our inner guidance? Daily seek a place of solitude and calm and simply stop. Set everything down. Be still. Take several long slow deep breathes in and out. Allow yourself to settle. Each day we have the opportunity to acknowledge this inner stillness and the soft voice of our can our heart-mind. Each day we can make this moment of stillness a priority. It’s up to us.

 How to Wake Up | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 522

If you want to know the truth about who you really are and what this is really all about you have to be willing to give up the old methods, to reach beyond thought and thinking mind and to take the dive into the unknown.

 Returning to Intimacy | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1489

Return to the one that is not touched by the circumstances of the world. The one that lives in this world but not of this world. Drop the meditator, drop the form and just sit without any rigid model. There is no reconnection or creation of an experience or paradigm, it’s ordinary and easy to do.

 Barking Dog Mind | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1012

Do you have a barking dog mind? Do you want to throw it a bone?

 Ego schmego! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 865

When we use our breath to come home and check in we can catch ourselves before we use a tactic, habit or substance to escape the rat mind. When we catch ourselves before we engage in that habit we can instill this practice, the practice or activity just observing. Observing silently, without judgment and letting the thoughts pass by. Try sitting today for just two minutes. If your mind say’s it’s bored, then just sit there and be as bored as you can. Do boredom all the way. If your mind won’t stop spinning, just let it spin and don’t try to do a thing. Do nothing all the way everyday for just a few minutes.There is no need to have a formal meditation practice, just sit quietly, watch, listen and breath.

 Fire your ego and call off the search. You are home and you have arrived. | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 686

There is nothing to discover. There is nothing to remove. There is nothing to add.There is nothing to see.

 Learning to breathe. | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1797

If you think about it we were never taught to breath, isn’t that strange? We have been living out our whole lives without the basic instructions on how to breathe properly. Isn’t that shocking? Most of us breathe like little chipmunks that are being chased by Mr. Twinkles the neighborhood cat. That type of breathing is fight or flight, or panic breathing. We are all running from Mr. Twinkles in our own way throughout the day.

 What is your heart's desire? With Mallika Chopra | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1240

 Where I become a test subject for following your heart's desire. | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 2525

I’m jumping in and taking you with me! Join me on the journey of following your heart’s desire. Let’s step into the unknown together and take the leap of faith. In this podcast we talk about; Embracing your own inner teacher/guide and waking up to your full potential. We create an experiment to see what happens when we turn around 180 degrees and go in the direction we are guided to go. Embracing the opportunity to wake up and see our true self. The void we feel. The disconnect is nothing more than a thought or thoughts arising that we decide to hook in to, give meaning to, embellish and create the story we call ‘self’ We look at being content, happy and peaceful by dropping the concept that something from the outside will make us whole. (If only I could change such and such about myself, I could feel good and be happy.)

 Heart's desire or just more mind stuff? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1412

Are you following your heart’s desire? How do you know that it’s you heart that is speaking to you? Is it just more mind stuff, or is there something driving you beside your ego and your desires. This podcast features an interview with Jonathan Mead from Illuminated Mind.

 Bow in gratitude | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1339

The practice of gratitude is honed over time with patience and humility at its’ core. A good way to experience this practice is bowing in gratitude. This doesn’t have to be the physical act of bowing (but that helps); you can just bow in your mind. When you see something arising in the mind where you see yourself stuck and desiring something you don’t have, stop and bow to what you already have. If you find yourself in the old habit of grumbling, complaining or finding fault in something, stop and find something to be grateful for. Look around you at those that are in need and give something to them. The ego resists this practice so we know we are chipping away at something of substance. I bow to you all.

 Success is in the eye of the beholder | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1245

I had always seen success as money, cars, big houses and fame.I lived most of my life in pursuit of all of these material things and it wasn’t until I had many life changing experiences that my opinions on what success was dramatically altered. One of these life changing experiences happened while living on the Big Island of Hawaii and I relate that story in this podcast. So do we need a life altering experience to change the way we see things? Yes I believe sometimes we do. How can we have a life altering experience? Stay open and don’t be afraid to look deeply into your heart. Assess your life daily and see where you can change current beliefs and opinions to bring about more compassion and empathy. Open yourself to new ways of thinking and seeing. Sit quietly on a daily basis. It is in solitude that we can begin to open to a new way of looking at our ourselves and our intention.
