    Today, we have the honor of sitting down and speaking with a self-proclaimed comedian, financial guru, and mother now turned grandmother – or as she has stated Key-Ma. A beautiful soul that will always light up the room and your spirit.

  • 2.13 - Magical Moments – I Have No Complaints Meditation

    You all know, I love to read. You can find me either cooking, painting/coloring, taking care of my plants, or reading something. These are things I like to do as apart of my self-care routine.  One of my favs books over the years has been

    Prayer Partners by August Gold and Joel Fotinos

    It has been one of those books, that I can go back to for simple story or message that help me to refocus or become grounded again.

    The other day, I had a moment, where I was becoming a little discontent with what was going on. It wasn’t that I was truly unhappy, but I could feel myself going that way if I didn’t recognize what was happening and made way to correct it.

    There is a story in the book regarding learning how to transmute negative emotions (chapter 20) that I have gone back to several times, as simple as this story is – it truly helps me to learn to focus on what is important with in the situation and what is just “noise”.

    In true cliff notes style, the story is about a rabbi and a very upset man. The man comes to the rabbi for help in turning his life around. The rabbi simply gives him a phrase to repeat each day “Thank you God, for everything. I have no complaints whatsoever.” The man took the phrase and left the rabbi. About a year later the same man returns. He is still upset. No change had taken effect in the man. When he saw the rabbi he told him that his “special statement” had did nothing for him. The rabbi listened to the stories that the man had to tell and offered him some additional advise – when something sets you off – say this phrase –  “Thank you God, for everything. I have no complaints whatsoever”

    It was then the man could see that, saying this statement wasn’t about only rejoicing in the good that happen, but also when faced with difficulties meet it with gratitude.

    I encourage you if you haven’t read this book, to pick it up sometime. Yes, its in relation to helping someone gain more discipline in their spiritual life. However, for me you can find inspiration from anything if you go into it with an open mind.


    Our Affirmation for today will simply be:

    Thank you God, for everything. I have no complaints whatsoever

    So, we are going to

    (((Inhale, exhale)))

    .

    Thank you God, for everything. I have no complaints whatsoever

    .

    (((Inhale, exhale))

    Thank you God, for everything. I have no complaints whatsoever

    .

    (((Inhale, exhale)))

    Thank you God, for everything. I have no complaints whatsoever

    .

    Namaste my loves

  • 2.12 - Magical Moments – What’s Your Favorite Type of Meditation?
    Over the past few months, we have gone over several different types of meditation. Have you decided on one that has become your go to?
    With all the various changes going on right now in the world, I have started to lean a lot more on sound/audio meditation at night. This has helped me greatly in releasing possible anxiety or stress that I might have encountered during the day. During the day, I do practice more of the compassion meditation and attachment meditation to help with being mindful and releasing thoughts, energy, or actions that do not serve my highest self.
    So, let me know what has been working for you. As you can see, I have been using more than one depending on what is going on to help guide and ground me during the day. As we know, we are not in control of everything that happens, but for what we are in control of – make it count.
    Our Affirmation for today will simply be:
    Everyday, in every way, I am getting better and better.
    So, we are going to
    (((Inhale, exhale)))
    .
    Everyday, in every way, I am getting better and better.
    .
    (((Inhale, exhale))
    Everyday, in every way, I am getting better and better.
    .
    (((Inhale, exhale)))
    Everyday, in every way, I am getting better and better.

    Namaste my loves

  • 2.11 - Magical Moments - Attachment Meditation
    Attachment Meditation
    An article from Psychology Today, written by Dr. Robert Puff in 2012 titled: When You Need to Let Go, provides us with the understanding that attachments are like this; we want what we want and once we have it, we want it to stay the same. We say to ourselves, “I need this" or "I have to have this or else I’ll be unhappy.” Any attachment we hang onto that we insist can't change—whether it’s our health, our beauty, or our relationships—will cause us to suffer.
    He provides that: the key benefits of meditation is learning how to live in the present moment. There’s just so much mind chatter going on in our brains all day. Meditation teaches us to quiet our minds. Because our attachments come from our minds, when there’s no mind chatter, then there are no attachments. All, and I do mean all, of our attachments come from mind chatter. So if we learn to quiet our minds, we learn to just be, live in the present moment, and the attachments disappear.
    We simply learn in the attachment mediation to - LET GO of what we do not have control over.
