I also guide you through activities so you can get a glimpse of how to use this practice starting now to cultivate a deeper sense of wellbeing and, of course, learn to live well on purpose.

Do you have a fear of abandonment, rejection, intimacy, neglect, or something else?  I did, and after a sequence of unexpected events, I was made aware of just what those fears were, where they stemmed from, and how they were running my life. Not all fear is bad — you have to survive somehow, right. But, once they become the foundation for your belief systems, decisions, actions, identity, and more you may be harming or limiting yourself and/or others more than anything else.  It takes a deeply honest look as well as the right tools to identify, navigate, and heal your fears. And this episode dives into these very methods. Whether it's a somatic practice like EFT (emotional freedom technique) or breathwork or other practices like therapy, journaling, energy healing, movement, etc. it is possible to transcend the very fears that may be holding you back.

Now is the time to wake up! We as a collective are ready for the evolutions needed to progress.

Hi all! I'm back with an inspirational reflection on ways to address fear, doubt, and anxiety that may be surrounding any new beginning or opportunity you might be facing. Like I have experienced before, at times when something new comes about (no matter the opportunity), sometimes fully embracing it and taking a leap into that exhilarating yet unknown space can be overwhelming and cause doubt. It's weird to think about how a new opportunity can invite feelings of fear, but in many cases these feelings arise as versions of our past selves that are attempting to keep up free from this perceived harm of the unknown outcome of this new experience.  So in this episode, I challenge all us (whether you realize it or not) to welcome and embrace new opportunities as they come and to NO LONGER succumb to the doubtful rhetoric of our old narratives. It is time to create and use a new narrative with ourselves and all the new beginnings coming our way. Whether that be new love, new connections, new skills, a new job, a new place, or realizing it is time to start your life anew, change your inner narrative to align with your deep-rooted truth. Go beyond fear and choose to take a leap with curiosity and love. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/meditation-matters/message
