Hi, Tony Rubbo here, and thanks for joining me.

And at the end of the episode,  I shared that I would be combining the two in this episode. So in this Key Moment, we will explore a method of finding solutions to problems or puzzles in our life by combining the two forms of meditation.

This Key Moment features a look at where we have been, and where we will be going on our hero’s journey as featured in the 12 songs of the Framework of Illusion concert series. And so we will review the first four parts of our journey:  1) A Door in Time and Space, 2) The Framework of illusion, 3) The Sphere of Solitude, and 4) Journey to the Center; and prepare for the next four: 5) Shadow World, 6) Screens and Machine, 7) Waiting, and 8) Let it Go, (that is, the original ‘Let it Go’).

In Episode 36, I introduced the idea of a sports metaphor approach to losing weight. We began by using the sport of football and dividing our day into four quarters including a halftime. So everyday is like a game. Scoring means counting our calories, and winning the game is achieving our calorie plan for the day. In this Key Moment, we continue our training in the sport of losing weight, and conclude with a relevant quote from a pro football player.

In this Key Moment, I share a personal experience that inspired a stream-of-consciousness flow of ideas and resulted in a special kind of wisdom that we can all access.

In this meditative Key Moment, we will be bringing our meditative focus through seven points in the body. At each point, we will extend our awareness in such a way that when we complete the process we will have brought every area of our body to a state of relaxation.

‘Me-time’ means undistracted personal time in our solitude, which naturally improves ability to focus, and focus is the foundation of an effective life. So in this Key Moment, we’ll enjoy some quality ‘me-time’ free from outer distractions, to support a mentally clear, emotionally resilient and physically calm state.
