The Central Channel step of our practice brings awareness to the stream, or river, of energy that moves along the spine connecting the energy centers to higher levels of consciousness. “Body” and “ground” are now a part of our meditation training, providing the stability necessary to focus on some of the inner energy … More The River Makes The Riverbanks
Our heart is the centerpiece between our spiritual self and our physical self. Energetically, the heart charka is centered between the crown chakra and the root chakra. These energy centers cascade our unique vibration, one to the next, precipitating our expression downwards into form. Similarly, they lift energy upwards illuminating the fullness of that … More Rooted To The Earth
Once we’ve established “ground,” we get to go places. Firm ground allows us to leap higher. Healthy ground allows us to grow things. Ground supports and enables. In today’s meditation, we use our ground-of-being to magnetize the affirmation, “In the Infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole, and complete.” Then off … More Leveraging Your Ground
We have repeated several phrases throughout this round of the Practice of Living Awareness: “Energy follows thought.” “Your thoughts create your reality.” “You are a not a human being having a spiritual experience, you are a spiritual being having a human experience.” All of these support the concept, or the fact, that your body is … More You, The Vessel
Energy follows thought… it’s a fact. Lighted thoughts create a lighted mind. This meditation sets out to generate light in the “third eye” which then projects and distributes this illumination throughout the body and into the world. We start with an explanation of the energetic architecture which creates and directs your innate capacity for … More Generating Luminosity

As you turn the light up on the dimmer switch, everything becomes clearer; you may see objecst that you hadn’t seen before. Details emerge. As we generate the light of mind in meditation, we … More The Super-Beyond
Have we mentioned the soul yet? Perhaps not. The word soul derives from the Gothic saiwala and the Old German saiwalo; both meanings speak of origins. It is also connected etymologically with the greek aiolos, which means ‘quick moving,’ ‘twinkling,’ or iridescent,’ and with the latin anima, meaning ‘wind.’ Breath, source, and light: we’ve certainly … More The Illumined Self
Inhalation & exhalation are the exchanges of breath. Inspiration & aspiration are the exchanges of the mind. As we aspire or stretch our awareness upwards toward finer vibrational states, we invite inspired thought-forms to make their way to the mind. With solid ground established within our meditation practice, we can reach to the realms of intuition and co-creative … More The Altitude of Mind
Have we been experiencing the breath or observing the breath? Have we been experiencing the mind or observing the mind? Both. Experiencing and observing can be markedly different, though both collect data. As we experience, we register information with our perceptions in a subjective way. The data we receive as the observer feels a bit more … More The Observer Mind
