Summary: Risa’s mindfulness

journey

In this episode you

will learn:

There are many paths to God.  Don’t be constrained by what you’ve heard about God.  If saying the word God brings up negative emotions for you, say Infinite Spirit, Divine Source, Universe.  Believe you are inside of the universe and the universe is inside of you.   We’re not here to argue about traditional religion versus new religion.  We’re here to seek our highest good.  Ask questions; Seek the truth; Knock on closed doors.  Even if you grew up in a traditional religion you can question. If you’ve never gone to church, you can seek the inner being within you.  Nothing in the universe is closed to you.  Knock!  Open your mind to a higher power.

Practice Pointers:

Question and explore your beliefsSeek to make your faith and your beliefs more personalAllow yourself to believe there is a power in the universe to bring you the desires of your heart.

Affirmations

I love everyone and everyone loves me.My happiness is built upon a rock and nothing shall offend meAs I am one with God, I am one with the universe.

This is the first episode of All the Way Up.

It’s hard for African Americans to believe that mindfulness practices can enhance their well-being because we feel the battles we’re fighting are too big for simple things like meditation, affirmation, and allowing, can conquer them. 

I’ve always

believed in a power greater than myself. 

In 2016 I read The Game of Life and

How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn and it changed me.  My view of God (or Source or the Divine or

the Universe) changed.  I used to think of

this power as something outside of me but through this book I learned that I am

inside of the universe and the universe is inside of me.

We can all use this universal source to attract things into our lives.  They can be material things but most importantly they can be feelings of joy, love, kindness, and more. 

So this

podcast is my attempt to show my sisters and brothers how freeing your mind,

thinking on good things, knowing your inner self – your inner being – is a

powerful tool that can lead you to having the most marvelous life.

Each episode will feature ordinary people telling stories about extraordinary things that have happened to them.  Some may only seem like coincidence or things that would have happened anyway.  But my belief is that thinking and focusing on people, objects, and things brings those same things into your life.

Each Tuesday, join me, Kim Bronson, as I share stories of ordinary Black people who have improved their lives by using simple mindfulness techniques. If you’re ready to change your life, or just curious to hear good stories, this podcast is for you.
