The Makaranda Podcast

In this 20 minute guided, visualization meditation, we guide you into your imagination and invite you to notice what it feels like to be a flowing river of abundance vs. a stagnant stream. 

This practice includes some body based, somatic cues to support you in noticing what arises as you imagine what it is like to make money move. Nature always teaches us how to flow with trust in our path of least resistance and that there is plenty to go around to us all. 

Enjoy!

Today is the last day of Mindfulness with the Moon! Wow. What a beautiful journey. This is day twenty nine of a 29 day journey where you will learn the fundamentals of mindful meditation while syncing yourself with the cycles of the moon, the gorgeous feminine mass in our solar system. Begin this podcast on the new moon to follow the cycle that is outlined over the next Synodic month: The harmonization of the movement of both the sun and the moon.

Today, we will discuss the importance of integrating and living the dharmas we have learned in our lives and in this course. It is not about speaking about the teachings, it is about living the teachings and letting go. We are not here to control life, we are here to live.

In our 20 minute meditation practice, we will work with integrating and letting go. You will have a lot of space to see what comes up for you by following the music with some light guidance.

I would like to give a special thanks to you for tuning in & making the space to sit with yourself, to all of my teachers old and new, to my team at The Makaranda Method and to my darling husband, Jon Medina for weaving together all of the gorgeous music behind each of the meditations. Jon and I spent many, many, manyyy hours working together on this project, and this season would NOT be the same without his musical wizardry. I am also thankful to each of the artists who wrote each of the tracks as well, what a gift.

I bow in reverence.
I bow with humility.
I bow in gratitude to each of you for being on this journey with us.

The light in me, sees and honors the light in each and every one of you, namaste!

Today, in our dharma talk we will explore working with pain & discomfort. Everyone without exception encounters pain. Most of us have the conditioning to not like pain, to be afraid of it. It's a signal to pay attention. Often in the West, pain is considered to be bad and not natural, and that it needs to be controlled. But often, our reaction of not liking and being afraid of the pain can end up taking over and our body and heart contract.

The invitation here is to turn toward the pain because working with pain and discomfort can bring huge freedom in our life. 

We will practice with a 20 minute meditation as we explore what is arising with an open and kind heart.

Today, in our dharma talk we will explore working with trauma & fear. The reaction to trauma is natural and common-- the way the body-mind is trying to protect itself, so it's natural to move towards healing. This body wants to heal. And with this, the very place of trauma became transformed into a place of profound awakening and freedom.

This can be a heavy subject-- but if we can remember what Ernest Hemmingway said, “We are all broken—that’s how the light gets in,” we can pay attention to the cracks in a beautiful, creative way.
 
We will practice with a 20 minute meditation as we explore what is arising with an open and kind heart.

Why forgive?
When do we know when it is time to forgive?
What does forgiveness offer us?
How do we do it?
 
We will practice with a 20 minute meditation as the thoughts and emotions arise as we practice forgiveness of ourselves and others.
