Today is the start of two weeks of great Tricycle articles.  And while some may think that the article I started off with is a little gruesome, I would encourage you to see it from all angles.

Being open-minded is a goal for many people; to be amenable to hearing and experiencing viewpoints and experiences that are different from our own. If you are a meditator then chances are good you are already more open-minded than you used to be.  Here's why?

For those suffering from trauma even meditation is something to be aware of.  Today I share a great post that talks about how to meditate with trauma.

Anxiety can present itself even within a meditation.  today i share a great post by Josh Korda that talks about how to bring yourself back to this moment when panic strikes

The mind’s eye is particularly important when undertaking meditations involving visualization and guided imagery. Today i explain exactly what the mind’s eye is.

For today i have recorded a meditation for gauging the predominant energy of the planet. The intention is simple, if the energy is suffering you then meditate to provide healing for the world. If the energy is joyous, loving and calm, then you bring that energy to you. Enjoy

The nature of who we are is light and love.  That very energy flows through all of us.  Yet there are many times we feel isolated; our humanness strips us of our ability to perceive our link to everything living.  Today I talk about three ways to reestablish that connection.

It may seem like a small point, but there solid reasons why your feet are flat on the floor when you are meditating from a chair.  Today I talk about those thoughtful reasons.

The other day I talked about how to feel the energy of the planet. Today I want to talk about what to do with those feelings and thoughts who you have determined the state of the world.
