Walk, Breath, Meditate- Podcast 241

Today, I am adapting the meditate, write, walk practice as put forth by Natalie Goldberg in one of her memoirs. I just did a few Kriyas, now am writing and soon will be walking my dog, Pearl. One day, that’s all I’ll do for three days, when the timing is right: my own three day retreat experience, spent in solitude with my dog.

The Fairy Ring by Mike Rowland is great music to meditate by. I just purchased it for our next meditation retreat at the Unitarian Church, as well as for my own quiet meditations in the morning and throughout the day. Leonard Laskow always used that music and it reminds me of him. Hello Leonard! We love you!

I think it’s the melodious piano music which brings the mind to a high ecstatic state. My guru, Yogananda, did not suggest music for meditation practice. Total silence was his admonishment. I enjoy both silence or music, as the mood leads. Rigid rules do not apply.

Meditation is one of the most important practices we can do everyday, along with exercise, a cleansing diet, plenty of clean drinking water and rest. As Wayne Dyer said, twenty minutes of meditation is equal to eight hours of sleep. Recently, I put that to the test, and agree.

For instance, during the course of a long night at work, if I catch fifteen minutes of sleep, I awake in pain and in a cranky mood. 

If I meditate for fifteen minutes, I feel rested, and the eyes are alert as well as the mind.

Thank you, Wayne Dyer, for all your wisdom. It will be more than enough to take me to my last breath, in this lifetime, and every lifetime, thereafter.

Amen

The Energy Of Prayer

I am writing this at 3 am, the perfect time to contemplate spiritual prayer and meditation. It is a PowerPoint in the day, just as 12 noon, 3 PM and 12 midnight are. These times are perfect moments to pause and reflect. The more we stop and go inwardly for guidance and direction, the stronger we become.

My radio show today is my conversation about prayer practice. What do you pray about? How do you experience the Energy of Prayer?

The American Indians do not pray “for” or “to” anything. They merge the energy of prayer with that they wish to bring into their lives.

Take rain, for example.

A rain dance is an attempt to become rain, to merge with rain and manifest its reality into the here and now.
In this way, prayer is not what we do but what we are. It is as natural as the incoming and outgoing breath. It is as easy as taking one step forward, and then another. What is important about prayer is our willingness to turn attention to the inner reality of the soul, which is changeless.

The more we experience this inner reality, the more we hear the celestial music, bringing perfect happiness to ordinary lives, uplifting our hearts to the extraordinary!

Quantum Death, Quantum Love

Do you remember those childhood nightmares we all used to have? Maybe we still have some of those, and generally speaking, we don’t talk that much about them. Maybe we talk to a trusted adviser, but wouldn’t talk about them to a perfect stranger or bring them up in polite company.

Have you ever had an experience you just don’t feel comfortable talking about?

Death is like that, too. We may think if we don’t talk about it, it will go away. Or we may think the only people we can speak about this is to a trusted advisor.

If you could’ve been with me when my mother died, you would’ve been amazed. 

She had been Ill and her illness took a toll. At the moment of her death, all the lines left her face and she looked like a 14-year-old girl again.

If you could have been with me three days after my mother’s death, you would have experienced a love that transcended judgment or hate or fear. If you would’ve been with me after my mother’s death, we would have experienced what unconditional love really is, without having to explain it to anybody.

That was a quantum experience and now, I know.

James Douglass joined me to discuss his then newly published book, JFK: The Unspeakable, in 2010.

The book proves that JFK was killed by the CIA of the American Government. It is considered the best researched book in the niche.

What is “The Unspeakable?”

What does Thomas Merton have to do with it?

Divine Love Is -Podcast 238

Today’s podcast discusses our radio show last night, and how we didn’t do Donald Trump’s astrology chart which was trumped by Wayne Dyer’s passing this week. Wayne Dyer’s chart was more enlightning to most of us listening then Donald’s was, anyway.

I did learn from Donald Trump’s chart that as a double Leo, he considers this amazing Republican Primary a show–a Hollywood production.

I can believe that.

Wayne Dyer’s lesson was similarly the Universal Divine nature of Love. Donald’s journey is one of Ego. What an amazing juxtaposition.

Do you want your Astrological Chart done?

Write to Sheila aka “Astrology’s Astrology” marysheilaaudet@gmail.com and ask her to help you with that.

Wayne Dyer Trumps The Donald

Astrology’s Astrologer returned to my radio show this evening! We were going to do Donald Trump’s chart, but Wayne Dyer Trumped The Donald!

As most of you know, Wayne Dyer dropped his body this week. For the millions who love him, we were in a state of awe that something this monumental could happen. He is still with us.

Wayne W Dyer’s Shift- Podcast 237

A few weeks ago, I did a podcast review of Wayne Dyer’s movie called “The Shift.” But my podcast app stopped working, and I abandoned the review.

In light of my podcast now miraculously working, again, and Dr Dyer’s entry into”The Next Room,” aka dropping the body, I redid the review. 

I highly recommend this movie, “The Shift!”

Around the time of Dr Dyer’s passing, I spontaneously decided to do the Manifesting Meditation he is famous for. I sang AH with his AH on my iPhone app, and went into an elevated state of consciousness. 

I will continue to do it, breaking through the resistance I now feel as I do it. It feels eerie, like I am contacting him, somehow. I am not a psychic, and often do not proclaim great prophesy or intuitive vision. But perhaps I will manifest what I am envisioning for my life.

Stay Tuned!!

I Am Not My Thoughts-Podcast 236

A solid daily meditation practice helps us to deepen and enhance “The Witness,” that quality of mind that helps us to rise above the 60,000 thoughts we have everyday, and create a Being-ness instead of a busy-ness or doing-ness to our moments.

Being-ness allows us to live in the present moment.

According to 1GiantMind, a meditation app you can get on your smart phone, the Qualities of Being are as follows–
Self-awareness

Dynamism

Adaptability

Compassion

Enthusiasm

Innovation

And the unending capability to witness and respond to life’s challenges and demands.

That’s why today’s podcast is about!

The Reverend Jo-an Glasse On Death, Dying, Rebirth

This radio show was a classic. Our friend who gave the interview has since passed on, 4 years ago this August.

We had our meditation workshop last weekend, and Jo-an appeared in form and spirit. In memory of her, and her gracious visitations, I pulled this interview for the energy of love and remembrance.

I know our dearly departed loved ones are with us always, but the voice of doubt may loudly tell us otherwise.

It is time to quiet that voice, and set ourselves free.
