Mothering Awake

This meditation practice guides you towards connecting with your breath. Effortlessly allowing you to settle into presence, as your mind relaxes and your body restores.

Whenever I sit down to be interviewed, lead a meditation, or simply talk to a random stranger about meditation, I always find myself dismantling the popular myths that surround what meditation is and isn’t.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down those myths so that you can feel more knowledgable and at ease in your practice.

We’ll be discussing:

When the best time to meditate is.

If there is an ideal posture.

If it’s ok to fall asleep.

Whether you are meditating if you are thinking.

And if one style of meditation is better than another.

Whether you are new to meditation, or a seasoned practitioner, I hope you’ll receive some nugget of information in this episode that will support you in starting or maintaining a meditation practice.

In this meditation, you will be guided into an expansive visualization as you learn how to embody and illuminate peace. Allowing you to touch peace as it’s flows throughout your past, present and future.

When we think about what it means to obtain our dream life, we often think about action. We plan out the road map to success, and take the appropriate steps that we hope will eventually land us exactly where we'd like to be. However. what we often overlook is that no matter how hard we plan, the results are rarely up to us. COVID19 for example, has put this fact right in front of our faces. It has forced us to collectively PAUSE, look around and access what it means to live a beautiful life. 

In today's episode we discuss what it means to go with the flow of what's unfolding in every moment, how our dream life may be closer than we think, and how slowing down and pausing might be the answer to touching the peaceful calm that resides within all of us.

From a young age, Alysse Doty, a mother of two, became aware of her ability to hear people's thoughts and channel information from the beyond.

However, after a few occurrences of her sharing what she was hearing as a child with others, Alysse decided to shut down her abilities. That is, until they erupted out of her again when she was pregnant with her first child.

Now, as a channeler who’s studied with some of the world’s leading masters in sacred healing, meditation, intuitive guidance, and yoga, Alysse draws from a deep well of resources, including psychic-mediumship and Spiritual Response Therapy (SRT) to channel information. Using these tools, Alysee guides people back into the truest part of themselves. Taking them beyond the cognitive mind, so they can learn how to cultivate knowingness, develop relational intelligence and trust the wisdom that they hold within.

On today’s episode, Alysse shares what it was like to hear things as a young child, how she was guided to begin working with a pendulum doing SRT, and how as a mother, she has learned to lean into her intuitive abilities and trust in her innate wisdom.
