A Portal to Source Guided Meditation

/in

Experience your inner landscape & guidance through this 33-minute A Portal to Source visioning meditation recorded live at A Body Mind Spirit retreat last week.

The meditations that I receive through me are co-created with Spirit to nourish your transformational journey. Visioning meditations give you both the structure and the space to connect to your own intuition.

As an intuitive hearing aid, visioning meditations are individual experiences.

Different people experience the meditation differently. And each time you listen to it, you may have a different intention and receive different Guidance based on the questions in your heart at that time.

One goal of visioning meditations is to help you let go of what doesn’t serve you and to raise your vibration so that you may more easily access your intuition.

Another goal is to help you take inspired action in your life.

Although I call them visioning meditations because they can be highly visual, everyone accesses their intuition differently.

Trust in your process. You may see, hear, feel, remember, know, smell, taste your way through the experience- all senses are channels to intuition.

So sit back (or lie down if you think you can stay awake to get the most out of process) and enjoy the meditation above.

Want a Custom Meditation?

Imagine an intuitive hearing aid co-created with Spirit just for you, based on your needs.

You can specify a theme (confidence, self-love, harmonious relationships, etc.) or let your Team of Divine Helpers communicate with mine to deliver what’s in your Highest Interest.

I will use your name throughout to add to the personalized experience.

These also make a wonderful gift.

Your investment for an individual professionally recorded meditations mixed with sacred harmonic music by Christopher Lloyd Clarke is $247 and will last you a lifetime. You can order yours here.

I also channel meditations for businesses and life coaches for their clients. Contact me if you’d like a quote.

The Present of Your Presence – a guided holiday meditation

/in

Whether you’re longing for togetherness or searching for solitude this holiday season, this guided visioning meditation is my gift to you.

Actually, it’s a gift to us both from Source. For it was in a moment of quiet that I allowed in the inspiration to channel this recording for you. Doing so was an excellent reminder and energy shifter for me. May it be for you too.

Here’s the message that came through:

You are the Gift.

Your very presence on the Earth in this time of ascension is a present.

In this guided visioning meditation, you’re invited to connect to the love, peace and joy at your very core to better be able to simply be in the here & now this holiday season.

Allow yourself to be transported within to connect to the unconditional love of your Team of Divine Helpers who will help you see and accept yourself and others as individualized expressions of the Divine.

It’s from that space that you can allow for inspired action to emerge more naturally into your every moment.

It’s from that space that you can be the gift you truly are – for yourself and others – through the very present of your presence.

Have a meaningful holiday season, no matter how that looks like for you.

Whale Song – a visual meditation

/in ,

May this 17-minute communion with whales and their soothing song help you connect to your own voice, your own truth, your own song. Symbol of emotional rebirth, community, and communication, these giant mammals have wandered the waters of the Earth long before humans arrived.

I invite you to dive deeper into the mystical realms as you journey with these Wisdom Keepers, Memory Keepers through this visual meditation offering.

Whale Watching from St. Vincents Beach

What an adventure! Just days after our return from the Cape Shore, I called my friend Leslie to ask if she wanted to go whale watching on St. Vincent’s Beach, a 2-hour drive from St. John’s on the Irish Loop of Newfoundland & Labrador.

Witnessing humpback whales feeding on the spawning fish in the deep waters just off the shore of this impressive 5km beach had been on my bucket list for years. 

My Facebook Friends had warned me that there may not be as many whales out there since the Caplin had rolled in 4 days before, but we were willing to take the chance.

How exciting to approach the community of St. Vincent’s-St. Stephen’s-Peter’s River from high above the long narrow strand of beach with a pond on one side and the ocean on the other.

As we very slowly trudged our way up to the long barrier that runs the distance between the Flats and the Gut, we were glad we’d seen the sign not to drive up any closer. It was hard enough to walk up the path of tiny cobblestones, so not surprising that a van got stuck on the soft shoulder.

I was curious why a little crowd had gathered next to the gateway, sheltered behind the tall fence. When we got there, however, we understood that they hadn’t dressed for the cold strong winds coming off the ocean.

The walk was slow. The length of the beach was like nothing I’d seen on this island before. A strand of dead Caplin with their big eyes still shining stretched a few meters from the waves for as far as the eyes could see. 

I’ve never seen the Caplin roll in, but it’s a celebrated event every year in this province. They come to spawn on the beaches, a spectacle that draws birds, whales, and throngs of people who come for the sight or for the buckets full of these small silver fish for food or fertilizer. My heart reached out to them, some of their tiny mouths open in the struggle for their last breath.

After walking a while, we settled down in a spot and just watched the horizon. The whales weren’t coming in just meters from shore as they would’ve had the Caplin still been as plentiful, but they were out there.  

I set up my iPhone XI pro on my mini tripod and my SLR camera on my bigger and much sturdier one.  I didn’t think I’d be able to use any video footage with my flimsy phone tripod wildly dancing in the strong winds.

I was later thrilled to find out about its internal video stabilization feature! The footage wasn’t perfectly sharp, but I wanted to give you a taste of what it was like to watch those gentle giants breach repeatedly on the horizon. Wow!

For a short time, the lighting changed from dull grey to a late afternoon sparkle bouncing off the waves. It was magical.

We ended our short visit to the region at my friend Elizabeth’s house, just off the beach. How joyous to see her in person (from a safe 6-foot distance) after being regularly connected online. Her home was filled with my paintings, and my Spirit Calling Card “meditate” rested on the coffee table.

I am so grateful to my art patrons for helping me continue to create, be it paintings or free online offerings like this one. If you’re moved to contribute to my spiritual art practice financially, I invite you to explore my online shop. Thank you!

Our adventure didn’t end there, though. As we drove through one of the towns, we saw what first appeared like a large blond dog coming towards us on a little bridge. We stopped the car to give it space. As it turned off the road and into the ravine, my heart skipped a beat. “That’s not a dog!”  Its gait and powerful hind legs gave it away, even if I hadn’t gotten a clear look at the face. “That’s a wild cat!”.

I had no idea we had wild cats in Newfoundland! As a regular hiker, I was aware there were plenty of moose and the occasional black bears in some regions of the island (and the rare visit from a polar bear off the ice floats), but never considered the presence of wild cats.

We drove ahead a bit and asked the couple stopped by the side of the road what it was. A Newfoundland Lynx, they said. They’d seen it go into the yard of a house and had stopped to tell the owner, who chased it away from her dog in the back yard.

Now, I wasn’t ready to get out of the car to go looking for it as they had (that was a big wild cat after all!), but my friend and I both felt honoured by the crossing. Looking it up, lynx are symbols of insight, vision, foresight, and intuition.

Whales & a lynx in the same day. Wow!

Still Photography in Witless Bay

Once I got home and started playing with the video footage and the few stills I’d succeeded to take despite the distance from the shore (and the dozens of just-too-late-splash-shots), I had an idea.

Why limit this video to a location? What I wanted to honour was our Wisdom Keepers, these giants whose presence has thrilled me many a times while living on this island. 

I’ve sung to them from the decks of a storm-chased ferry from St. Pierre & Miquelon (no photos from that time) and had the pleasure of connecting to them & photographing them from a few whale-watching trips in Witless Bay.

When I was an English-as-a-Second-Language instructor at Memorial University of Newfoundland, I had accompanied a few of my classes on both Gatherall’s and O’Brien’s  boat tours. I’d also taken some of my summer visitors to see the whales and bird colonies. My best shots since I moved here in 2011, however, were from my Eco Tours Zodiac Adventures with the St. John’s camera club. 

It’s in times like these that I’m glad I’m an organized person. I was easily able to locate and peruse several folders of whale watching stills to pick the ones I included in this Whale Song visual meditation video for you.

I was also thrilled to purchase a new song from my source of royalty free meditation music, “Into the Deep” by Christopher Lloyd Clarke.

I hope you enjoyed this 17-minute communing with whales experience with me.

Seaside Solitude – A Video Contemplation at Middle Cove Beach in the Rain

/in , , ,

Exercise

You’re invited to use this video contemplation as a tool to help you connect to your inner guidance. Here’s how.

Ask your soul & Team of Divine Helpers a question and listen in as you experience this rainy morning at Middle Cove Beach, a few minutes from St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador in Canada.

Access your intuition through the symbolism of the sights and sounds.

Give yourself the space to feel, hear, see, remember, know, smell & taste – whatever channel your intuition finds to speak to you.

If the meaning isn’t immediately clear, dig deeper. Analyze your insights and data through reflection or journaling.

Notice any inspired actions that rise to the surface of your consciousness and Act upon them. Remember, intuitive guidance is useless unless you act on it.

Then Allow your life to unfold, knowing that every inspired action acts like a piece in the puzzle. Embrace the mystery and keep on moving on.

Like the waves of the ocean, living intuitively means repeating these 5 Steps over and over again – a dance with your Higher Self and your Team of Divine Helpers. Enjoy!

So Glad I Did!

Here’s where I ended up on my first Offline Sunday – a new habit to help me disconnect from the Internet to reconnect on a deeper level.

There must have been hundreds of people there in the 2 hot & sunny days before, but I found myself in blissful solitude for 2 hours communing with the elements and playing with my iPhone camera on a very rainy morning.

Truly, making movies has become one of my favourite pastimes. There’s so much beauty to explore and this is just one more medium for me to express my love of beauty and the beauty of love.

And yes, my new rain gear is waterproof. Yay! I sure tested it that morning.

Of course lifting my jacket to wipe my camera lenses on my shirt didn’t keep me completely dry, but I was happy.  lol.

When you equip yourself for the weather and obstacles, there’s a whole world to discover. I’m so glad I listened that morning when my soul said “To the sea!!!”.

What is your soul calling you to do or be? What space is beckoning you to come and discover it (or discover another layer of you within it?)

Make time in your schedule this week to disconnect and reconnect. You’re worth it!

A Prayer For Our Times – Video From NL’s Irish Loop

/in , ,

Mother Nature is a wonderful healer. Her breath, her beauty, her heartbeat, her love, and her bounty are constant sources of inspiration. In this 16-minute offering, she shares so generously of her energy through the beauty of  Newfoundland’s Irish Loop and the prayer for our times she inspired. May it nourish your transformational journey, a balm to your soul as you continue to navigate your way through the crises of 2020 and the new world they are birthing.

I’ve included the prayer below in the 1st person in case you’d like to recite it for yourself.

Intention

This sojourn by the sea was an answer to a Spirit Call for what turned out to be an energetically powerful time of rejuvenation, channeling and simply being in bliss:  2 sunny days of hiking & photography followed by 2 cold grey days working indoors, looking out at Ship Island and listening to loons call.

This was social isolation with style! Just 40 minutes from my home in St. John’s, my friend Elaine’s Whale Watcher House & Apartments is located in St. Michael’s on the Irish Loop of the Avalon Peninsula, on the road between 2 sections of the East Coast Trail: Tinker’s Point Path & La Manche Village Path. At the time of writing (May 29), I’d just witnessed my last of Mother Nature’s sunrise intuitive painting parties over the ocean before returning to the city. It was perfect!

After 2 months of walking in my neighbourhood, I needed time by the sea. Painting “Salacia – ocean goddess” wasn’t enough. Breathing in the beauty and grounding myself on the East Coast Trail was definitely top of mind.

The fact that a minke whale was feeding right outside my room when we arrived confirmed I was in the right place.

In addition to connecting to Nature, I thought I’d be spending time writing 12 prayers inspired by 12 of my paintings for a new series of posts. That didn’t happen! Not yet anyway.

Frustration

On my 3rd morning, after meditation, energy work, yoga, Spirit Calling Card journaling, and frequent contemplations of the ocean, I just wasn’t inspired to work on my project. (A hawk just landed 6 feet from me on my balcony roof as I was writing this. One of my childhood totem animals. Wow!) I’d spent time preparing by opening my channels, but then tried to force things into being. That didn’t work.

I was getting restless, being so goal oriented but without results.

So instead of writing, I kept joyfully editing my photos and working on making a movie on my iPhone, one of my favourite new creative playtime activities. 

I thought it was done once I’d paired the imagery with music as I’ve done in the past – creating a nature meditation.

Revelation & Tears

At 9pm, I lay my head down, ready for sleep. I decided to play my video one last time in gratitude for all I’d seen and experienced so far.

As I watched in my semi-awake relaxed state, the symbolism of the scenery started speaking to me. I could hear the words of a prayer come through my inner hearing.

Energy so strong was coursing through my body like an inner buzzing vibration from head to feet focused more strongly around my heart. I was trembling and wasn’t sure my body could handle that much energy.

I had to switch on the light and write a few sentences down. Switching it off, I kept watching my movie, tears in my eye, humbled at the presence of so much love & inspiration in the room.

I realized I’d been standing in my own way with pre-conceived notions of what I was supposed to be doing while here. I was trying to force something on paper when what I had been doing – following my bliss in the moment through the creation of this video – was exactly what was meant to happen. Intuitive video making – one layer at a time.

It wasn’t about making it happen… it was about making it welcomed…

As the words kept flowing, I remembered a friends’ recent suggestion to use voiceover, something I didn’t know I could do on my iPhone if I also wanted a music track.

This co-creation is what my Team of Divine Helpers and soul wanted to share with you when I’d been guided to come here to pray for humanity. It wasn’t 12 prayers to go with my paintings (a Left brain decision with undertones of marketing for my artwork).

It was 1 long prayer coming through the offerings of Mother Earth. So very humbling indeed.

On and off, I tried putting it aside to sleep. I’m the kind of gal who likes my 8 hours!

But no! Between frequent cold visits to the balcony to watch a blanket of stars like I hadn’t seen in years (couldn’t quite capture it with my iPhone but you get a taste of it near the end) and scribbling all that was coming through, I was up until 4 am.

Going back to bed yet again, I asked my Team to ONLY wake me up for the sunrise if it was important for me to see/record it. Sure enough, 1.5 hours later, I woke up in a bolt and was back outside filming a 2-hour time lapse that the iPhone turns into a 30 second video. These were my first nature time lapses ever. Fun!

I spent the rest of that cold windy day writing and editing until I came out of my creative cocoon at 4pm to scale the eroded cliffs next door to  ground myself on that horseshoe beach you see in the video.

That’s what it’s like to be in the zone – fed by Spirit (in-spired). It took breaking my routine and being out here to do it. And I’m so glad I did. I had to make the inner space for it. I often achieve this zone in the studio painting, but not with quite the same intensity of energy. That was something else!

P.S. The next day, I listened to the video again and was still happy with it (even not minding the trip up on the words “miraculous” and “diva” instead of “deva” that I didn’t know how to fix) – but I’ll admit it sounded so much better in my sleepless state of creative ecstasy. Again, to me this is a sign that although the poetry of it could use some refining beyond the first few drafts, it’s the energy that comes through and between the words which offers its gift as much as the language and imagery. That’s how I feel about my paintings too. It’s perfection in its imperfection and my job is to simply allow it to come through me.

May it serve you well. It certainly has me. Thanks be to God!

Prayer For Our Times – in the 1st Person

If you like this prayer – yes, it’s a long one – I recommend you record it in your voice and play it once in a while – making it your own.

A PRAYER FOR OUR TIMES

As I venture from my home
To embark on the road less traveled
May I greet my neighbours anew
To rebuild a compassionate community
Grateful for the rebirth of caring
Fresh ways of seeing
Healthier ways of being.
May I choose to garden a perspective of gratitude together
And be here now to colour our oneness with my laughter.
For on the shores of our planet’s beating heart
Treasures abound
New dreams are found.

 

May I rejoice in the flow of my passion
To shine & align in my own true fashion.
May I dance in the ebb & flow
At One with humanity
A witness to the glowing love & courage
Carried by the flow.

 

As I once more embrace life & loved ones.
May I breathe our planet’s cleaner air
My bosom rising and falling
To the rekindled rhythms of my soul.
May I allow this Life Force to grow within my being
Connecting me to my inner guidance, my intution

 

Thank you dear God & Goddess, Mother Earth & Universe
For your comfort when the tides are low
And your bounty when the tides are high.
As I relax into the layers of transition
May I celebrate the unity that follows change.
May I trust in the purity of my emerging health & prosperity.
May I welcome and receive guidance
To harvest and keep growing from my truth.
May I intuitively shift from my challenges to meditate on healing.
May I find balance in the fruit of my solitude
As I begin to awaken.

 

May my miraculous life be nourished
By Nature’s freedom of expression.
May I be still and contemplate,
What once I passed by or took for granted.
The treasures are already at my door.

 

May I attract complete wisdom through imagination and inspiration.
May I stretch my creativity as I seek in the direction of my mystery.
May I reflect upon the teachings of love to manifest clarity.
May I continue to explore through time
The light of my dreams and the dreams of my Light.

 

May I continue to rise above the harsh grounds of my challenges
As I journey onwards from this shore.
May I transform my memories to reveal the depth of my purpose.
And always feel at home at my core.

 

Walk on my beloved self, walk on,
May I be of service to friends and family along the way.
For no man or woman is an island
Separated by a sea, lost or astray
So walk on, beloved self, walk on
May my heart alight with the burgeoning hope of a new era
Reflecting on these times gone by:
The grief, the fear, the gifts & the blessings.
May I let go of what no longer serves me
To make room for the people, places, things, and feelings that do.

 

May I always know where I am welcomed
To explore and express my love of beauty and the beauty of love
Here my seat awaits
A gathering of those known and unknown,
Delights to discover.
May I always feel at home in the world
Knowing I’ll forever be nourished & loved.
May I take time to rest and relax
May I feed my body, nourish my soul.
To reconnect to my Higher Self
And take sight of my vision floating
On the calm waters of my shore.

 

And if I’m harkened back to the hidden beaches of my past
May I not be afraid of what I might find there.
May I uncover the clues to my destiny
Beachcombing amongst the garbage washed ashore.
May I remember what gave me the greatest joy
To bring that back into the expanse of my days ahead.

 

May the sun rise in my morrow with gentle splendour
To call me forth from my slumber
So many treasures await for me to discover
As I unlock the gifts of my shadows
To love myself forever more.

 

May I connect to my Team of Divine Helpers
In this, the the time of awakening.
There’s no need to journey alone.
Ask and I shall receive
Connect and the doors will be open unto me
I Welcome at my side:

* My Soul and OverSoul (I Am Presence),

* My Support Teams,

* My Guides in this dimension and beyond,

* My Ancestors,

* Nature Spirits and Devas,

* The Inner Earth Elvin Kingdoms,

* The Angelic Realm,

* Star Races and Star Councils I have a connection with.

 

May I tread gently and bravely
My every step a blessing, a prayer.
May I know that as varied as my pathway may be
There are those who love and support me
Walking alongside
May I know not loneliness in my solitude.

 

May the signposts to my healing
Bring me back to my Light within
From where I can illuminate my inner and outer landscapes
For my Good and the Highest Good of All.

 

May I emerge from my isolation
More familiar with my own design
May I revel in the symphony of my soul
My unique voice blending harmoniously
Into the choir of a community reborn.

 

May I stand tall
For I have the strength of giants at my back.
Ancient wisdom coursing through my veins
Divine unity at my beckoning call
Whenever I am ready to be joined again
Of my own free will.

 

May I breathe this beauty in as a mirror to my soul.
May I smile as I feel within every cell of my body that I am already home.
Let me take my shoes off and stay awhile
My feet firmly on the ground
Feeling the healing energy of nature rise within me
As I reconnect to the truth of who I am.

 

For we are all the light and the love,
Breathing as one,
Holding each other’s hand,
Holding each other’s dreams:
To be seen, accepted and loved
For the spirits we are in human form.
Each with our own design,
Each following our own path
Together intertwined.

 

May I walk on
Guided through my challenges
Rising above them with ease & grace
Stronger yet lighter for what I’ve left behind
Shedding the skins of old patterns and behaviours
That encumbered my gait.

 

May my attention be drawn to the light ahead
The evolving vision of my life unfolding
And the planet ascending.
And when I feel overwhelmed by the gap between here and there
May I take a leap of faith
Trusting that a bridge will appear
There’s no reason to fear.
May I simply pause to appreciate the spaces in between
And the vastness of the beauty all around.
May I see how far I’ve travelled
The precious footsteps of my passage through time.

 

May I embrace the mystery
As I enter the portal to the blessed unknown
May I choose love over fear
Rooted in the knowledge that I am
An individualized expression of the Divine.

 

May I walk on
Loving the grooves and textures of my journey
May my path be clear
My head held high
To find my way back to community.
May I always be provided for
May I welcome those at my door
May I be of service through the very gift of my presence.

 

And when the clouds darken my skies once more
May I remember I am vaster than the passing weather
And that light always comes to fill the darkness
And when the sun sets upon my day
May I rest my head in peaceful slumber
Wrapped in the warmth & comfort of a prayer answered.
May I know that I’m protected in the glow of Divine Love
As the stars cultivate my gratefulness
Multiplying my wishes & dreams come true
To be welcomed back unto me.

 

And if the night hangs heavy upon my mind
May I remember that as the sunrise I will find
Love, peace, joy, health, wealth, happiness and freedom.
May I continue to appreciate the promise of an open path of compassion.
Dream on, beloved self, dream on.
May I never sleep alone.
Loved by the sun and the moon,
The earth and the sea
Loved by the Heavens above and within me
For that is where is found the love & beauty of my heart
With a song so pure
Resonating with the original sound of OM.

Guided Meditation to Calm the Fear

/in

In early April, I asked my Team of Divine Helpers to co-create with me a visioning meditation that would help you cope with the waves of fear washing over the planet during this Covid-19 pandemic.

I released this channeled “Lighten Up with Love” guided meditation on YouTube a few weeks ago, but if you don’t receive my bi-weekly e-zines in your inbox, you may not have seen it yet.

I was surprised at first that they guided you to start by looking at the fear in your life before turning to look at the love. I myself felt a spike of discomfort, mostly because I didn’t want to worsen your anxiety levels.

I can now see, however, that a short but good look at the fear first can help raise your awareness of its effects on your body, mind & spirit, but also of the root of it.

Is it truly what’s happening in the world that is causing your fear or your beliefs, thoughts, your choice of media, worry about the future, etc. that is fuelling the flames?

I’m not belittling what’s happening. This isn’t about denying or diminishing the level of tragedy and the need to process grief as we let go of our expectations, plans, and souls that have transitioned Home.

It’s about recognizing that we have choices on which perspective to fuel – love vs. fear.

Activating the power of your Observer Self, you’ll increase your awareness of the effects of both fear and love on your body, mind, and spirit in these challenging times. Awareness is key to transformation. From this awareness, you’ll fuel your spark to shine so brightly as to spread Light & Love around the planet, helping yourself and others to choose what’s in the Highest Good of All.

Fear will eat away at you. It weakens your immune system.

May this meditation help reduce the effects of fear and boost the benefits of love.

By raising your vibration and visualizing how love can be just as viral, may this offering brighten up your inner and outer world as you continue to journey through this time of transition.

Are you ready to redirect and retrain your thoughts, your words, your beliefs, your actions, etc. towards the light & love that are aligned with the Greater Truth? 

Allow your Light to shine brighter to let go of the layers of fear and spread the effects of your love in your life and around the planet.

Peace be with you.

An Ocean Visual Meditation

/in , ,

It’s easy for me to stay home in the best of times – social isolation is the creative space in which I thrive as an introverted artist. The fact my home is nestled in nature, with a hill of trees leading to a small river in the backyard and a huge park nearby makes this chosen simple lifestyle an easy & pleasant one for me.

My heart, however, also craves variety in my nature time to open my eyes and my soul to Mother Earth’s expansive and ever-changing beauty.

When I borrowed the car on April 7th and drove to Cape Spear, it felt like I was heading out on a big adventure. It was my first time venturing outside my neighbourhood since mid-March.

Cape Spear is the most easterly point of North America, on the island of Newfoundland, Canada. It’s only 15 minutes drive from my house.

This mini-trip was part of a 3-day offline self-directed retreat. I so needed a break from all the online meetings, trainings and events. I was actually missing my alone time!

The change in scenery did me so much good. In the 3 hours I was there, I only met 3 other people so staying more than 6 feet away was easy.

I walked, sat & contemplated, and shot 61 video clips that I then edited together to create this 23-minute Ocean Meditation video.

May it now offer you a calming change of scenery as  you soak in the beauty of the waves, snow, icebergs, rainbows and more.

The whole is accompanied by the composition “Across the Sky” by Christopher Lloyd Clarke. With the high winds, I had to completely mute the recorded sounds from my iPhone.

Do You Need an Offline Retreat?

If you’re feeling frazzled by how much time you’re spending online, it may be time to give your technology a break.

I’m spending less time alone during this period of social isolation than I did before  – albeit it’s all online now.

If you do decide to take a break, give yourself enough time. It took me 3 days to slow down.

On Day 1, I was very busy doing all sorts of things to raise my vibration: journaling, meditation, dance, yoga, podcasts, neighbourhood walk, cooking, etc.

I’d left Day 2 wide open, but after spending 3 hours at Cape Spear, I ended up spending 10 hours on the computer editing, dealing with technical issues, and uploading this video. I went to bed later than my body wanted to.

It was only on Day 3 that I consciously left my phone and computer untouched. I made time for stillness and reflection. That’s when I could more easily access the intuitive messages I needed to move me forward.

May something in my experience be of service to you, inspiring and nourishing your transformational journey. You’re worth it! Namaste.

Relax, Release & Re-Connect Meditation

/in

This is the last of the guided visioning meditations I recorded live while Artist in Residence in Carbonear last April.

I listened to it twice in the week before writing this post and both experiences were completely different:

  • my intentions
  • the scenery
  • what I released
  • my inner child memories
  • emerging qualities
  • the area of my life I chose to explore
  • the people and members of my team of Divine Helpers that I connected with
  • the inspired actions I’m inspired to follow up with

That’s the beauty of guided visioning meditations. They’re different every time you listen to them, depending on what you need, what you ask for.

Interestingly, some of what happened in this inner story that evolved as I listened didn’t seem to have anything to do with the initial intention.

That’s where further reflection helped me realize how they were indeed connected.

Remember that song, “Dem Bones” with lyrics such as:

Hip bone connected to the back bone
Back bone connected to the shoulder bone
Shoulder bone connected to the neck bone
Neck bone connected to the head bone

Everything in our lives is connected to everything else.

I may have been asking about cashflow, which may not seem related to the person’s inner child I met in the Cavern of Joy, but with further thought, it makes a lot of sense.

So give it a try for yourself. See how your story evolves and what or who comes up for you.

“I was a little reluctant to try the meditation as I don’t sit still well… my mind and body always keep me busy. I was so surprised to see that I was able to sit still, relax, and disconnect my busy mind and allow myself to follow Dominique’s voice. I highly recommend giving it a try and taking some time for yourself. You will not regret it.”

Are you ready to give yourself this 42 minutes to explore your inner landscape, relax, release, and re-connect to who you truly are?

Enjoy the journey! And journal or reflect upon its various elements after to see how everything is connected. Deeper layers of meaning await beyond the experience itself.
