And I think that's where we're all headed. Mindfulness and being in the present moment ironically takes you out of the 3D because you become so much more aware of everything else beyond the physical.” - Bradford Tilden ● “The sound is just everywhere. You know, just because you can't hear it doesn't mean it's not producing a sort of vibration or frequency. And when you find the right frequency, you can work with it therapeutically, and your music soothes the savage beast and music helps to unlock emotions, and brings back memories.” - Bradford Tilden ● “I believe that when you're enlightened, you're able to maintain that state of centered connectedness, groundedness at all times. But as humans, we oscillate and we're looking for tools to bring us back into that state, to maybe stay in that state a little bit longer, or to have our fundamental vibration within ourselves, rise a notch and be just that little bit higher and stronger.” - Bradford Tilden ● “Just acknowledge within yourself, that you are a being of love and light, that your intentions are pure, loving, and all that you do. And once you get to that mindfulness moment, just say I am a being of love and light and know that you're here now and the best thing that you can do to help with all that noise is to stay positive, have a strong vibration, and share that positivity.” - Bradford Tilden Resources Mentioned: ● Judith Dreyer ● Jeff Nelder LinkedIn ● Henry Edinger LinkedIn ● Cloud9 Online ● MediMind App ● Bradford Tilden Music ● Crystal Music Healing

Key Quotes: ● “I think of this as a big pie, and it's cut into seven and a half billion pieces. So everyone is like one of those slices of this beautiful, delicious pie. And there is a different perspective for every slice. So we're never looking at the world in the same way, and we're never moving through the world in the same way, and we all have something very special to give in service to each other.” - Sara Daves ● “My purpose is to anchor the consciousness of oneness here on the planet, or help do that in my very small way because we do need to come into this understanding of our connection, and have that concept. And really getting to know yourself is a perfect way to do that. It's a perfect way to begin.” - Sara Daves ● “You don't have to wait for something horrible to happen to you, you can choose to get on the front end of that and learn about yourself and decide to do something different.

Key Quotes: “As a hypnotherapist, I always want to remind people that they are much more resourceful than they would give themselves credit for being. One of the central tenants of neuro-linguistic programming is that we have all the resources that we need within us. And I do my best to share that philosophy and presupposition with as many of my clients as I can.” - Ajamu Ayinde “The central idea is that one must be awake to deal and address what's going on. We could all wish things were different or the way they used to be or the way that they might be in some distant future. But what is right now is what we must all grapple with.” - Ajamu Ayinde “When we bring love into our hearts, when we ignite that love when we acknowledge that love, we extend it to ourselves, we extend it to the other, whoever that other is, then that's where the hope comes from. That's where the solution comes from. That's where the plan comes from.” - Ajamu Ayinde “We're not superhuman, we're not Gods, so to speak. We are vulnerable as well, but it's our practices that make us able to do what we do. But we must rely on one another, we must lean on each other, we must be vulnerable amongst one another so that we can rebuild ourselves, renew ourselves, and restore ourselves so that we continue shining.” - Ajamu Ayinde “Disproportionate numbers of people who are being affected are people of color, and that's not something that is easy for people to talk about, black or white. But it is real, it is what is. And it's the underlying medical conditions that many people of color have that they bring to the COVID crisis that make them more vulnerable. But that has to be addressed, and it can't just be written off.” - Ajamu Ayinde Join us for an engaging conversation experience.

In this episode of Cloud 9 Online's MediMindful Moment podcast, co-hosts Judith Dreyer, Jeff Nelder, and Henry Edinger interview Javier Colon, an American singer-songwriter and musician and winner of Season 1 of The Voice. Javier talks about his creation experience, meditation, and songwriting process. Javier also discusses how different styles of music help people express their emotions. Javier leads us on our mindful moment singing a mantra with the music he composed that is simply beautiful. One we hope you will enjoy over and over. Join us for an engaging conversation experience. Key Quotes: ● “Honestly, singing mantras...just brings me to this place of calm that I don't feel in any other thing that I sing. It brings me just a sense of peace, a sense of fluidity if that makes sense. I don't feel any restrictions on my body, on my voice. I just feel very free.” - Javier Colon ● “I love the writing process. One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to go in and create something out of nothing, something that did not exist before.” - Javier Colon ● “When I'm not having the greatest day, sometimes I put on a certain kind of music that will either make me feel happy…that is kind of putting yourself in a mindful place.” - Javier Colon From all of us at cloud9online : www.c9ohealth.com remember… wellbeing is our natural state as a human being.

In this episode of Cloud 9 Online's MediMindful Moment Podcast, co-hosts Judith Dreyer, Jeff Nelder, and Henry Edinger interview Dr. Eric R. Secor, ND, PhD, LAc, Chief of Integrative Medicine at Hartford Hospital. Dr. Secor shares his knowledge and expertise in integrative medicine and explains the complexity of stress and the benefits of mindfulness. Dr. Secor, a key player within our medical system, on the medical front lines throughout COVID-19's arrival and impact on our medical system, shares his experiences about how mindfulness played and continues to play a role in his practice and approach to his patients and their medical care. Join us for an engaging conversation experience. Key quotes: ● "When we think about the stress response and the relaxation response, that heightened sense of stress is really about the fight or flight response. So it's nice to have a fight or flight response when we have an acute stressful situation that we have to react to...the caveat to that is that we want that response to go up and we want that response to go down in a proper time frame. When that response continues, it's like we're running away from that bear every single day. ” - Dr. Eric Secor ● “If we step back a minute and think about the work that we do, anyone that has a job that requires precision and requires extended attention to detail, in a sense, does need to practice mindfulness.” - Dr. Eric Secor ● “If you're thinking from a large system perspective, if you're not improving the health of your 30,000 employees, it's very difficult to contain your costs and have people be highly effective in very stressful changing situations.” - Dr. Eric Secor ● “We all know and take for granted that when we breathe very shallowly, our brain gets the signal that we don't have enough oxygen, and the brain likes oxygen because that's what it needs to survive.” - Dr. Eric Secor From all us at Cloud 9online . . .remember well being is our natural state as a human being.

MediMindful Moment is a podcast hosted by Judith Dreyer, Jeff Nelder, and Henry Edinger, dedicated to creating more mindful awareness in the moment – both during the podcast for guests, listeners, and us…and out in the world, as you carry insights and experiences to the people all around you. Today we are in the midst of unprecedented and challenging times. How can we be present amidst uncertainty, constant interruptions, and the flow of massive external information? Join us each week as we discuss and demonstrate what “presence” means. ● “Mindful practices such as meditation, grow our ability to quiet the inner critic and allow us to be present in the now by creating space wherever we are, and of course we're seeking kindness and peace as we go about our daily life.” - Judith Dreyer ● “What we typically do is we move through a mindfulness exercise that is designed to help us become mindful at the moment with our breath and hold intensities, emotions, thoughts, feelings, sensations that we experienced during the day in a gentle awareness in order to be more at peace.” - Jeff Nelder ● “We try to think about ways that truly we can change the world and think about what an awesome opportunity that provides, so we've been looking at meditation as a way to help people in all different parts of their life.” - Henry Edinger ● “If people shared a moment where they reduce their depression which is rumination over past events, reduce their anxiety which is rumination over future events, and were able to become present at the moment which is the ultimate expression of mindfulness, which is where all creativity and inspiration exists and sharing that together.” - Jeff Nelder MediMind Moment is brought to you by Cloud9 Online, www.c9ohealth.com
