Grounding and Healing Meditation

Although the quietness of Reiki in the midst of an overwhelming and distressing moment has become my go-to, I know that other times, opening to a guided meditation and surrendering into the journey of the inner heart, restores that sense of connection with like-hearted pilgrims who are also attuning to the sacred path offered in the guided meditation.

I offer this guided meditation as a way to return to your connection to yourself, to Mother Earth and to the Sacred of ALL THAT IS. I invite you into a time of pause. A time where you re-calibrate with your own sacred essence and with the ground of your being. Claim your freedom to connect to your inner heart. Claim your right to breathe fully into your incarnation, the gift of your life.

Blessings of light and love and life to you!

In Conversation with Colin About Healing – Podcast #3

Shirley Lynn and Colin Hillstrom, a Transformation coach, continue their “fireside chat” about healing. We explore our experiences with healing, what we understand healing to be, and how healing connects us to spiritual awakening.

These conversations were guided by questions from our clients as well as questions that came up for us during our conversation. We talk about how can anyone get started, what is the right use of energy and how we cope with changes that healing brings.

This podcast is the third in the series. If you missed the first one and/or the second one, please listen to them first. Thanks for joining us as we continue our conversation…

Peace Circle Podcast #3

Join Shirley Lynn Martin, Karen McCarthy and Tonya Noble as we again invite you into Peace Circle with us, to cross the threshold into sacred space and time. This is our third and final podcast in this series of offering a brief experience of Peace Circle.

In this last round, we explore the ‘Magic of Peace Circle’ we have each personally experienced. What comes to light is that circle transformation is a process that already begins in our preparation, as well as in the actual encounter and continues even days following the Peace Circle. There is a subtle dawning of synchronous joy, peace and awareness of who we truly are that becomes real in our coming together.

The magic is real!

This podcast is the second in a series of three. In this circle, we speak to the question, “why do we value Peace Circle and what does it bring into our lives?” In sharing our heart’s knowing as revealed in the sacred space of circle, we delve into the power of connection, community and sharing our heart’s truth. Through this sharing, we are gifted with the possibility of healing and being our best self as we move out and re-join our ordinary lives. Join in, sit with us and share the experience with us.

In Conversation with Jen about Boundaries for Healthy & Joyful Living – Part Three

Listen in as Jennifer Bodenham,  a team development coach, and I conclude our conversation about boundaries and self kindness. In this final (of three) podcast, we explore why we need boundaries, what they are and one specific exercise to help you learn how you can get started towards living a life that is more kind and joyful. The wonder and value of self-kindness, health and maintaining connection with others, even when it starts to get difficult are mutually possible with a little education and lots of commitment towards peaceful relating with all our relations (that means ourselves too).

This is just a sample of what you will experience by attending The Self Kindness Response: Boundaries for Healthy & Joyful Living workshop on February 24-25th, 2017.
