Today's meditation is a bit different, as it was recorded in combo with our Patreon "TMP Chat".

The theme is circular or continuous breathing, combined with relentless self acceptance.

Enjoy!

The fascia, or interstitium, is the largest organ in the body, a web of connective tissue that surrounds the muscles and organs. It supports effortless movement, internal power, and the flow of breath energy, also called chi or prana.

In today's meditation, we cultivate awareness of the fascia body.

Modern life places near-constant demands on our attention, which can lead us to feeling overwhelmed. In today's meditation, we hibernate in our own analog warmth and presence.

Problem Solving

Problems, dilemmas, ethical choices ... we face decisions in almost every moment of our lives. These may have a range of stakes, consequences, and outcomes. To develop more effective decision making, we must learn to employ self-awareness - to understand how our own experience and interpration can affect our perception.

In today's meditation, we practice clarity to aid in problem solving and decision making.

'Mind' and 'Body' are the physical parts of our selves. 'Spirit', in its simplest context, is the non-physical part of our selves. We experience our selves through emotion, thought, breath, and proprioception or self-selse. We may consider 'energy' to be the movement and mobility of our sensed experience - in mind, body, and spirit.

In today's meditation, we cultivate energy.

To be honest, I am feeling overwhelmed. On the outside, I am discouraged by endless news of our warmongering and dysfunctioning government. On the inside, I am still processing the years of intense social isolation during the pandemic, with no work prospects, after a vibrant pre-pandemic career and social life. I am hyper-vigilant and jumpy. Creatively, I feel uninspired. I find it difficult and awkward to socialize, sleep, or even rest.

During periods of overwhelm, the best thing I can do for myself is to let my parasympathetic nervous system take over. This is the part of our nervous systems responsible for our 'rest and reset'.

In today's meditation, we calm our nervous system.

Our modern society relies on defecit. Governments, organizations, and corporations use debt to create wealth. Advertisers highlight our individual defecits -- our flaws and insecurities that encourage us to engage and purchase. This can lead us to devalue our own wisdom, our unique voice, our personality, our humanity.

In today's meditation, we explore radical self acceptance.

The language we use in our internal dialog has a profound effect on our experience. This includes nonverbal communication, such as images or feelings we invoke. When we reflect on our self talk and self-invoked feelings, we gain clarity on the ways in which we influence our experience in the world, in community, and in our daily lives.

In today's meditation, we meditate on self love.

The term ADHD Brain refers to neuro-divergent or neuro-spicy attributes. This can, but does not necessarily, include people on the PTSD or ADD spectrum. In the context of this podcast, I am referring generally to people who are easily overwhelmed or distracted.

The most commonly accepted traditional styles of meditation value stillness and silence, which can feel especially difficult for people experiencing ADHD Brain.

In today's meditation, we invite movement as an anchor to keep our overly active minds focused, as we meditate with ADHD Brain.

Meditation allows us the opportunity to slow our actions, regulate our nerves, and gain insight from our own natural wisdom. Reiki is a gentle infusion of life energy. Combined, these practices help us to invoke rest and recovery.

In today's meditation, we practice a simple meditation, infused with reiki.
