The ThoughtSound Project

Consciously dwell on something that makes you feel strong. Clear your head. Adapt some positive characteristics of a role model. One of the best ways to gain confidence is to decide right now to have it, and embrace it.

This 10 minute guided meditation will bring you into a peaceful state with just you and your breath.

Within just a few moments, with a focus on your breathing can heighten your mindfulness and clarity of the mind.

Enjoy!

Meditation refers to a state where your body and mind are consciously relaxed and focused. Practitioners of this art report increased awareness, focus, and concentration, as well as a more positive outlook in life.

I spent the last few years stressed out and filled with anxiety, and I am NOT the type of person to get anxiety.

Right around the moment it nearly got the best of me, I really dove deep into meditation and breath work. It literally changed my entire life.

I thought to myself, if I felt this way, how many other people are out there suffering with no idea how to make themselves feel better!

So that's what the ThoughtSound Meditation Club is. The TSMC is the home base for all things mediation and breath. It's where I give the practice away for free.

Seriously, whether you check out my stuff on Youtube, the podcast, my website, or our free Facebook group community, this is always going to be the place I give you this blessing!

Want a simple, easy way to learn to meditate without feeling like you're doing it wrong?

When I first started looking into how to learn to meditate, I kept running into the same things. Dreadlocks, tapestries, candles, you know, the classic "meditation type things".

I remember asking myself, why isn't there some regular, everyday type dude to teach me how to do it. It's not that I don't like the hippies and overly spiritual types, it's just that I didn't feel like myself surrounded by incense, sage, and candles.

(I actually love that stuff now haha)

But from the jump, I just wanted a simple, easy way to learn to meditate. It didn't need to be over complicated or have some sort of style, I just wanted to feel better while experiencing my life.

So I learned on my own, tried new things, guided meditations, went to a couple classes (hosted by a psychic lol) and I even set up a meditation area in my closet that now sits dark and sadly alone.

I slowly realized none of that is at all necessary.

Most days, I sit on the floor of my living room or on my recliner to meditate. I don't have any certain practice or mantra, I just breathe and let me body tell me what it needs me to consider.

There's no accessories or rituals, because there doesn't need to be.

This week, I'm doing a deep dive in the basics of meditation in the ThoughtSound Meditation Club free Facebook Group.

Truth is, humans have the power to control their emotions, their feelings, their internal systems.

However, we've become so dependent on outside stimulations that we have all but forgotten our true abilities.

Things like meditation and breath work have been around forever. Literally since humans showed up, we've been doing these things.

We can control how we feel about our day to day life, how we feel about our jobs, how much we love, feel peace, all of it. We control everything.

The secret is in the mind and breath. The mind sets intentions, the breath gives the body the ability to take action.

It's all been right in front of us the entire time.

It’s no secret, 2020 was one of, if not THE, most turbulent years in modern history.

In today’s episode I go into why I stopped doing podcasts in 2020, how meditation changed my entire life, what I’m up to now, and plans and ideas for the future.

I spent 2017-2020 completely off the charts in stress and anxiety. I changed jobs more times that I can even remember, I almost moved to Florida, and the financial roller coaster my family experienced was nauseating.

This past year capped it all off. Between a worldwide pandemic, the George Floyd protests, riots, burnt up cities, and the most ridiculous Presidential election ever, I had to shut up and check out for the year.

Everyone was mad at each other, about EVERYTHING. Everyone seemed to have had an MBA paired with an opinion on societal conditions, virology, and political science, and pretty much anything else the mainstream news told us we needed to be arguing over.

Every single thing we faced turned into a fight and without realizing, we exposed ourselves to infection-level amounts of negativity.

So I learned to meditate. I learned breath work. I executed these new ideas and techniques into my own life, and everything changed.

A six figure opportunity fell into my lap, I became more present and patient with my family, and I just feel…good.

For the first time in a LONG time.

I’m inspired by the idea of helping other people, YOU guys, learn about the same things that have made my own life just so much more enjoyable.

So today, I went over the transition period. I shared some ideas and the journey I needed to undergo to arrive in a place where I’m now a certified meditation teacher ready to help busy people have more enjoyable lives by balancing stress and anxiety with short, simple mindfulness practices.

As we move forward, I’m going to teach some Meditation 101 level classes, share breath work practices, opened up a Meditation Masterclass, group and 1:1 coaching, workshops, meetups, and retreats.

All of it will be built around the ThoughtSound Meditation Club, a FREE Facebook Group that is the hub of all things that will create positivity and growth in your life. Links to join are plastered all over thoughtsoundproject.com.

Throughout my 20's, I was a small town rapper in Upper Michigan who went by the name Jake James. ( Please don't judge me for this: https://bit.ly/jakejames )

About 5 years into it, I moved to Marquette, Michigan and to my great surprise, there was a local hip hop scene! It was easily the most fun season of my entire life. We were kings of that little city. We sold out shows at local venues, PACKED basements and house party shows, and covered the town in promo fliers. Everybody knew us and it was so much fun!

The best crew in the city was Team Watz Gud. The squad was made up of eR, Foxx, Dolo, and the Danxx Twinz Ste'phon and Sterling Mounday.

Sterling sort of became the de-facto ringleader. He was their engineer, graphic designer, videographer, and, well, he wore many hats! I always related to him because I was a solo act and did LITERALLY everything from myself.

I made beats, wrote raps, recored myself, mastered the audio, designed the cover Art, booked and promoted shows. It was exhausting , but I loved it more than anything at the time.

Today, the Danxx Twinz are out on their own as independent artists. Their Spotify numbers are skyrocketing and their sound has developed really strongly over the years.

In the wake of the George Floyd killing by the Minneapolis Police, last week were the protests in Milwaukee and Sterling was on the front line every day.

Sterling is very active on Facebook and a refreshing, thoughtful new voice of the times we find ourselves in.
