  • Moving Into Mindfulness: Centering Techniques for More Balance with Melo Calarco
    Our minds are the gateway to our world. Everything we create, everything we experience- is a process of the mind. All that we feel, think and touch, all filtered through the perception of the mind. How do we get more aware, focused and in touch with our thoughts?
    Simple- Mindfulness.
    By slowing down our breathing and clearing the clutter of cobwebs that often cloud our thinking. An aligned and aware brain is a productive brain. It builds worlds.
    Khalil Gibran once said:
    “Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.”
    With that-The way we think shapes the way we live.
    What mental, physical and psychological states take place as we move into mindfulness?
    Opening our heart
    Changing our breathing
    Activating energy centers
    The act of grounding
    Refocusing and re-establishing yourself to a state where you feel:
    Centered whole and complete in who you are.
    Confident in your life path.
    Satisfied with where you are at this moment in your life.

  • Two Minute Tuesday - Head Start To Riches

    Head Start To Riches

    Education is Empowerment. As a recent opportunity to partner with Head Start 2 Riches Team- an educational company that offers a unique wealth building course for children. Their mission is to bring awareness and insight to children, instilling within them the knowledge to reach for their dreams and achieve. We shared this inspiring message answering what head start we are giving at a young age which allowed us to reach for our awareness of success- empowering the leaders of tomorrow. 

    Question:

    What type of head start was given to you?

    You can hear how this advantage became our most meaningful lesson on our journey of discovery in life. .This mission and purpose is the vision we live every day here at The Light Inside.

    Be sure to support the mission at Head Start To Riches- empowering the leaders of tomorrow with insight and purpose to reach for their dreams.


    Read the transcript here:

    The greatest thought-seed ever planted was the notion of discovery. I am grateful this example was set by my mother throughout our young lives.

    Seek knowledge-

    • Knowledge is empowering. 
    • When we reach for understanding and meaning- it becomes purpose.
    • Those who know- do.

      • Awareness is freeing. It moves us into alignment with others and the world around us. It’s an equalizing force of nature that brings us together.

      When we connect we create.

      Marie Curie said “Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.”

      To understand we must first search for meaning.

      • Reach for knowledge.
      • Engage context.
      • Form a thought.
      • Then feel with our hearts.

        • You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individual.

        To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity- our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.

        When we each become responsible for our own betterment, the world will simply become better. We have to ask- how can I simply be of service to myself and others, then be responsible for shaping our own destinies.

        The greatest advantage one can be lies in being an advantage to others. Seeking knowledge, meaning and understanding empowers that.

        Ultimately realize that the greatest riches we gain in life are in enriching others.

      • Empowered Thoughts: Developing The Universal Power Of Energy with Kerrian Fournier
        The average human being spends roughly 60,00 thoughts a day shaping and forming their world. Often, very sadly- the large majority of those thoughts are negatively aligned and statistically - many of them are repetitive.
        The Buddha said-
        What you think, you become.
        What you feel, you attract
        What you imagine, you create.
        Our thoughts and and our actions contain the energy of the universe. How we wear that energy determines every step of our course. Every path we follow in this life and into the worlds we come to experience and know….for ourselves and others.
        Our guest today, Kerrian Fournier, shares this  talk about the Universal power of energy, and how energy influences the way we act because it forms the “lens” through which we perceive the world. The choice in how we see that world so often becomes the reality we live and the experience we create.
        Join us today as we learn how to play with your perception of that world view and shift how your energy signs within it- On this very insightful and thought-provoking episode of The Light Inside.

        Our spaces of being...
        Carl Jung said- “Those who look outside, dream; those who look inside, awaken.”
