Meditations With Desi

Start your day on a positive note, even if you wake up feeling off. In this meditation, we’ll dive into affirmations that remind you of your inherent worth, strength, and resilience—repeating the powerful message: you are a miracle. Together, we’ll connect with your authentic self, embracing and celebrating every aspect of your being, even the parts you’ve been conditioned to hide.

This meditation is perfect for turning groggy mornings into a revitalizing experience, helping you step into the day with confidence and a deep understanding of your sacred, miraculous self.

Join me for an immersive guided visualization where we journey through time to imagine what our queer and trans ancestors might have been like. Feel their resilience, courage, and wisdom as we honor their humanity. This meditation helps deepen your connection to your identity, embracing the sacredness of your queerness and transness. It dispels the myth that we are something new, profane, or a conspiracy. 

Together, we’ll remember the strength of those who came before us, empowering our spirits and enriching our understanding of where we come from. This is a space to reflect, honor, and recognize the profound significance of your unique journey.

Feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? Imagine finding solace and strength during those chaotic moments when "life is lifing." In this  episode of Meditations with Desi, I invite you to join me, =as we navigate the turbulent waters of life's hardships with the power of prayer and affirmation. Our journey begins with a sincere prayer for divine guidance, grounding, and community support. We uncover ways to embrace financial difficulties, practice mindfulness all while encouraging authenticity and seeking safe spaces. Let's remind ourselves of the grounding force within our breath and heartbeat, and the unwavering support of the community around us.

Inspired by the soulful lyrics of Whitney Houston, we'll then explore how to move from chaos to calm through a heartfelt prayer, I guide you to a place of tranquility, encouraging deep breaths, realignment, and taking life one step at a time. As we express gratitude for the blessings and resources to come, we also celebrate your strength and resilience. 

If you've ever found yourself in the middle of a health struggle, whether real or imagined, you're not alone. I've been there too. It’s that unsettling feeling when something feels off in your body, and your mind starts spinning stories of uncertainty and fear about what it could mean. It’s okay; I get it, because I’ve experienced it myself.

As someone who manages Generalized Anxiety Disorder, I know firsthand how overwhelming health-related worries can be. Every little ache or discomfort can trigger a flood of anxious thoughts. In moments like these, the techniques shared in this meditation have been my steady companions.

Together, we’ll explore mindfulness and relaxation techniques that can help soothe both your mind and body. You’re not alone on this journey, and I hope this meditation provides exactly what you need.

This episode marks the beginning of a new format I’ve been deeply inspired to lean into: a blend of poetry and prayer. I open with a poem on grief, growth, and becoming. This year has felt like an intense process of grief, but it has also been so rewarding. I’m excited to finally share the pearls and gems I’ve discovered along the way. Most importantly, this track is a heartfelt thank you to the incredible community that has believed in me and inspires me daily to deepen my own self-belief.

May this poem bring you recognition, and may the prayer guide you toward healing and realignment.

With love,
Desi
