An Angel Reading by Maggie Kalas of Soul Light Coach. Please join us as Maggie in a wrap-up of the year past and what to expect from the energetic realm in the final quarter of 2024, into 2025. We have moved through a great deal and center our focus on conception of the new. Having held our own through all the changes of the past year, we find ourselves still stable, no matter what winds may blow. A new kind of courage is called for from us all. Hear all about this from Maggie as we close out her contribution to Miriam's Meditations. Thank you all for listening and sharing and being in the light with us.

This chapter is especially poignant for those sensitive folks who have felt bombarded by others' emotions and thoughts all their lives. Here we learn to discern our own thoughts and emotions, how to tune our minds to our own knowing, and how to turn down the volume on the thoughts and emotions of others. We are reading and learning from the book Personal Power Through Awareness by Sanaya Roman, channel for the guide Orin.

One of my favorite Orin quotes ever: “Be the leader. Dare to be wise!” Here we are coming to the culmination of our work over the last number of weeks, being our wise, higher self. We have been breathing through a number of steps that have taught us to be in the center of our own lives, compassionate and open, wise and loving. We are all these things toward ourselves first, then opening to share our truth and true being with others. We breathe as our higher self, an immediate way to connect to our truth and be in our center. We are reading and learning from the book Personal Power Through Awareness by Sanaya Roman, channel for the guide Orin.

From Orin: “Your mind puts out a powerful broadcast of energy.” He goes on to tell us that our inner dialogue is important, as it determines the events people and objects that we attract. This week we use our minds to create higher energy language around our bodies, ourselves and those around us. Words matter. Some words have higher energy, for instance, love has higher frequency than like. Our practice today helps us let go of old out-dated thoughts and beliefs, replacing them with higher words such as peace, hope, harmony, well-being, joy, kindness, compassion, beauty. We learn about a fun exercise we can do anywhere and any time, where we think of a high-energy word for each letter of the alphabet: Abundance, Beauty, Clarity, Devotion, Enthusiasm, Freedom, Growth and so on.

Your intuition is part of your sensory system. Through your intuition, you hear inner guidance from your Soul. In this practice, we explore all the ways intuition can be received by us: through our third eye, through our hearts, and through our gut. All these parts of our sensing ability can inform us of higher guidance, information and support. We use our breath to enliven our sense of intuition, making it more available and present for us. We have a deep encounter with our Soul, feeling the loving embrace of this great beingness that is our true self. Our book is Personal Power Through Awareness by Sanaya Roman.

This week we update our pranayama skills with a joy-filled full practice. We do a few breaths we haven't done together in a while, filling our whole field with LIGHT. We begin with drawing silver light into our spinal cord and nervous system, illuminating us from within. We proceed on to the full practice, adding in the sound of healing for our Heart. The energetic practice clears and cleanses all our bodies, physical, emotional, mental and aligns them with the etheric energy body.

Greetings and welcome. When we embark upon a spiritual path, at some point we come to unconditional love. This is because unconditional love is the most powerful energy in the Universe and we are made of it. We can learn to radiate this amazing light to all who we encounter, and to the world. Orin tells us that unconditional love is when we have our hearts open all the time. To do this we let go of expectations of others, letting them be exactly as they are. While this love is infinitely abundant, it can take some practice to be this love in our lives. This episode gives us a chance to practice this love, becoming a beacon of love for all. We begin with ourselves. Our book is Personal Power Through Awareness by Sanaya Roman.

We could all use some peace these days. In this chapter, Orin says, “You can assist humanity in achieving peace by evolving your thoughts.” Our thoughts contribute to mass consciousness. We've all felt thrown about by constant bad news, but we don't have to stay in that place. Through our breath and by evolving our thoughts with Light, we can move away from repeating lower energy thoughts. Thoughts are a type of action. In this episode, we learn how to become transparent to lower thoughts, how to rise in light and to connect to others on the inner planes. There we receive seeds of light that assist humanity in bringing about the highest and best for all. Our book is Personal Power Through Awareness by Sanaya Roman.

Digging deep can be hard and sometimes unsettling. We all have ways that we hide from the truth of who we are. And Orin tells us the truth is: You are a great being. Within you is compassion, courage, strength and wisdom to live you life from a higher level at all times. In this episode we dive deep into the wellspring of knowing and wonder with our breath practice, our courage to see who we truly are and to listen for the wisdom of our true knowing. Our book is Personal Power Through Awareness by Sanaya Roman.

Our central idea this week is: “The more you can view yourself from a higher perspective the more accurately you are seeing who you are.” This quote from Chapter 7 of Personal Power Through Awareness by Sanaya Roman is our guidestar. We learn to use light and awareness to first understand who we think we are, then to open to who we truly are. Using this light conversation, we develop new ideas and beliefs that uplift us, nourish us and open us to the freedom of being alive in the now. Link to purchase book from B & N: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/personal-power-through-awareness-revised-edition-sanaya-roman/1129394787?ean=9781608686070&aug=1'The Blessed One' music by Sanaya Roman (orindaben.com)Podcast production by iRonick Media (ironickmedia.com) Disclaimer:Breath exercises are not intended to diagnose or treat illness.

We dive deep into our own energy field in this chapter, making a commitment to listen deeply to our feelings, and inner guidance from moment to moment, acting upon what is right for you in the present. We do a short breath practice then play with some exercises Orin shares in this chapter. Learning to view things from the perspective of another person, or our pets, or even the sun or a tree. These expansions of ourselves into the world of another helps us create a compassionate field of light, even for those we find difficult. We end with breathing into our hearts and allowing the light of compassion to find us and fill us.

A gentle breath exploration brings us into a clear knowing of our own energy. From this knowing we are able to know more reliably how the energy of others is affecting us. We can use the breath to bring us into alignment with our own inner knowing, and use it to clear energy that is not in harmony with ours. We can take this breath awareness out into our day, using it any time we need to clear, cleanse and realign with ourselves. Orin also shares clear techniques about how to deal with doubts: self-doubt about our ability to use our intuition or inner knowing, or doubts brought on by false ideas or beliefs learned from others. Again using our breath, we connect with our mental body, where these beliefs and doubtful thoughts reside. We learn to recognize the deeper information contained in these doubts and how to release them. We end our light-hearted meditation with a heart centered breath. 'Sea of Light' music by Sanaya Roman (orindaben.com)Podcast production by iRonick Media (ironickmedia.com) Disclaimer:Breath exercises are not intended to diagnose or treat illness.

Chapter Three: Directing the Unseen Energies Around YouEnergy is everywhere, Energy is everything. Everything we encounter, perceive and interact with is made of patterns of energy. Even you.Being able to perceive what comes to you as energy from other people, from the natural world or from anything is a skill you can learn.You are in a vast field of interacting flows and energies. You are the field and the field is you. You cannot be separate from the field. Nothing exists separately, everything is intertwined and interconnected.We are interwoven into the fabric of the Universe.You are a Magnificent energy-sensing Being. you use your 5 senses to become aware of energy, your mental body or thoughts, you emotions, your physical sensations are all ways you are sensing energy right now. You can learn to use your focus to direct your sensing through any of these capacities.Skill One: Observe. Some key features that we practice are: Intention, Playfulness, Imagination. Awareness of the quality of energy.We use symbols from our Higher Self to shift energy.'Angels of Love' music by Sanaya Roman (orindaben.com)Podcast production by iRonick Media (ironickmedia.com) Disclaimer:Breath exercises are not intended to diagnose or treat illness.

Chapter Two: Recognizing the Energy Around YouThis week we dive into the book, Personal Power Through Awareness. In this early chapter, we learn energy makes up everything around us and we can learn to sense that energy. In order to be able to sense energy and work with it, we cultivate a relaxed stance in the world. Orin offers the technique of making your mind go blank, or turn it into a white screen, in order to reset your energy if you are in a distressing situation or encounter feelings you would like to change. We practice using our imagination to visualize a rose, to recognize we already have the skill we need to begin working with energy.After our breath practice, we do a meditation by Robert Peng, a Qigong master, to notice our inner and outer senses. https://www.robertpeng.com/Get the Book!

Play is an integral part of this practice. Let's not take ourselves too seriously!The Guides and Beings of Light are present for us this week to share a sweet, fun practice that involves clearing away all that is ready to be released with effervescent bubbles! Light-filled energies that arise from below move through our energy field and attach to all that is of a lower energy, that which is holding us in a range of frequencies that we are ready to move is easily released. Come play with us!

Our 150th episode! Thank you everyone for joining in this practice and for sharing this podcast.Our breath is always with us. Using our focus and our relaxed attention, we learn to follow the breath into healing. Beginning with a focus on healing our bodies, we draw the breath in and out. We follow the breath to our emotional bodies and mental bodies, noticing any entanglements between these areas. Our breath is a tool we can use to bring awareness to ideas that bring feelings that are not harmonious. This is a form of entanglement, where the thoughts create feelings, which amplify the thoughts. If these entangled thoughts are chronic, they bring us down. Using our breath and awareness, we lift these energies and allow healing light to open the patterns. We may have inspirations about these thought patterns that bring us to heal deeply seated ideas that no longer serve us. This brings flow to emotional patterns that once had been stuck.Once we've reset using the breath, we can expand our focus to share this transmission of light to another person, a situation or relationship that we would like to offer healing to.

You are more than you may think you are. We are all a distinct focus of consciousness, living in and creating our own distinct time line. As we expand our sense of being we come to realize we have a vast inner storehouse of wisdom and strength. In this journey we contact a future version of ourselves, wiser, more accomplished, more evolved. That future self cares about the things we care about, our projects, our work, our relationships. That future self has already accomplished the things we are working on and can offer guidance and support to us in the present moment. We receive from this future self understanding, solutions, knowingness. We then venture even deeper to reach an even more evolved and beautiful self, which sends to us love, care and acceptance. We emerge refreshed and renewed.

Stretch your body and your mind with this session of breath and meditation. Walk along the shoreline, opening to the water as a living being. Float in the waves and beneath the surface, merging with the perfect water. Lift up into the sky as we recognize the blue sky mind of sky consciousness, always motion, always changing. We shift our awareness to the shoreline, where we walk into a forest, recognizing the aliveness of the forest consciousness. We recognize that all around us is life, consciousness and fluidity. All is constantly changing, even as we are constantly changing. Becoming aware of this fluid nature of reality as we hold our stability is an important awareness and skill. Come float with us!

Miriam's Meditations welcomes Maggie Kalas as she returns to present an energy update. As the winds of change move us rapidly into 2024, the last few months of intense energies have been stirring the remembrance of our soul's true abundance in light. Our spirits are beginning to lift in a newfound optimism and clarity. The season of spring unfolds the energy of transition, preparing us to release the muck of the past. We sow new seeds of expanded consciousness, creativity and receptivity as we continue to reach toward the light, taking a defining stand for only the highest good in a world being created anew.Maggie Kalas is a passionate intuitive with a heart for helping people realize their full potential.

A simple powerful practice of opening to the choices that lie before us and working with energy to discern the highest, most light-filled path forward. Using our breath practice, we create a field of clear energy. We imagine 2 choices before us on something we care about, that we are stuck on, or if we are simply hitting a wall. We use our energy senses to perceive what is there in each choice A or B. We follow the energy of whichever choice felt more movement, life and energy. We add frequencies of harmony and beauty, feeling the clarity as we hold our focus and listen deeply. We ask for assistance from our higher self or guide, knowing we have what we need to be supported in any endeavor.'The Blessed One' music by Sanaya Roman (orindaben.com)Podcast production by iRonick Media (ironickmedia.com)Disclaimer:Breath exercises are not intended to diagnose or treat illness.

These days we may find we have pieces of our lives or our work that seem to be out of place, or just don't fit right. The world is evolving and changing and maybe we feel out of step. This meditation is all about harmony, harmonizing your energy and light. We first practice with our hands, touching fingertips together to harmonize the brain. Our breath deepens as we open our rib cage with this simple mudra (hand gesture). Then we open to our body of light, noticing harmony in the colors and patterns. Allowing the harmonics to develop we reach high octaves of transmissions of light. We feel the pressure of being human lift off us for a bit. We transmits this softness to others, to our home and our work. We step free for a few moments into the lightness of being.'Angels of Beauty' music by Sanaya Roman (orindaben.com)Podcast production by iRonick Media (ironickmedia.com)Disclaimer:Breath exercises are not intended to diagnose or treat illness.

We all have times when we are overstimulated. Our nervous system feels overwrought and jagged. This episode we do several practice aimed at soothing and nourishing the nervous system. Since it's almost spring, we'll do a humming breath known as Bee Breath. Just a humming sound that moves around the head and face, stimulating the nervous system and harmonizing the Vagus Nerve. From there we practice Smiling Breath, an uplifting easy breath that harmonizes us and brings joy and upliftment. After our pranayama, we work with white and silver light to nourish and support the nervous system. This rich abundant light cools our thoughts, moving all around the body and our body of light to organize and purify our entire being. We move out into our day refreshed and clear.'Cellular Evolution' music by Sanaya Roman (orindaben.com)Podcast production by iRonick Media (ironickmedia.com)Disclaimer:Breath exercises are not intended to diagnose or treat illness.

Welcome to the Abundance Reset. This expansive rich practice will teach you, step by step, how to contact and open to the essential Abundance of Creation. Reality is inherently abundant. We open to that abundance in these steps:Notice native/natural abundance. Abundance that makes you feel uplifted or at least neutral. Ignore the abundance of unwanted circumstances or things. Cultivate joy in the small things. Coffee, walks, dogs that wag their tales, smiles from others.Be grateful for the blessings of others. This means being genuinely happy for the prosperity of others, unattached to any benefit to you. Make it easy on yourself for now: choose others that you like. Stop asking “Why me?” or “Why us?” Just start from where you are. Here.Show your faith by giving some away. To others with no strings. Start small.Repeat as needed. You will need it over and over. For some time. It may take years, but it will start to get better from the inside out. You will need to overcome previous momentum gifted to you by generations before you. You will need to replace some of your previous responses, especially your interior thought responses.'The Blessed One' music by Sanaya Roman (orindaben.com)Podcast production by iRonick Media (ironickmedia.com)Disclaimer:Breath exercises are not intended to diagnose or treat illness.

This amazing idea of forgiveness as a form of pain relief was shared with me by a woman named Margaret. It speaks to the unrecognized pain we all live with by carrying around unforgiven hurts or ways we've not forgiven ourselves for our failings. In this practice we use the power of the breath to bring the unforgiven to the surface and breathe into it, allowing the possibility that we can release it. Breath upon breath we fill with light and gentleness, letting it wash away that which has come to consciousness. We use our growing relationship with our own Inner Being or Guide to recognize truth of situations. Even when we have been wrong or hurt others, we can find a way to forgive ourselves for our shortcomings. Allow growth and self-knowledge to make us better humans. And to find ways to forgive those who have hurt us creates spaciousness in our being, so that pain recedes and perhaps some day (maybe today) releases with each breath out.'Strands of Light' music by Sanaya Roman (orindaben.com)Podcast production by iRonick Media (ironickmedia.com)Disclaimer:Breath exercises are not intended to diagnose or treat illness.

We are lighted beings. We can learn to recognize and build our radiance using the breath and the frequency of Peace. We begin by breathing into our physical lungs and heart, circulating the breath and prana. We extend that light to the entire body, which begins to sparkle with Light. Next we breathe light into our emotional body, circulating the light and cleaning anything that needs to be released. Next is the mental body, which becomes fluid and clear so we can lift into the higher mind and hear more clearly our guidance. Finally we find the brilliant shining etheric body, which unites all of our being. It too fills with more and more light as we breathe into it. We fill with the light of Peace, which folds all patterns into one harmonious energy. We begin to flow with the power and dynamic energy of peace. We begin to understand on every level how we can increase the peace of the world by being peace in our own being. Here's a lovely book on the practice of breath and peace: Peace is Every Breath by Thich Nhat Hahn https://www.amazon.com/Peace-Is-Every-Breath-audiobook/dp/B004NRGUVE/ref=sr_1_1?crid=XS9JECUGHAA1&keywords=peace+is+every+breath+thich+nhat+hanh&qid=1706734970&sprefix=peace+is+every+aps145&sr=8-1'Angels of Love' music by Sanaya Roman (orindaben.com)Podcast production by iRonick Media (ironickmedia.com)Disclaimer:Breath exercises are not intended to diagnose or treat illness.

Have you ever seen videos of people surfing waves that are 40-50 feet high? They glide down the face of the huge vertical plane of water, which could and sometimes does sweep them away? These times may sometimes seem like we are being followed by a huge wave that threatens to knock us off our feet and sweep us away like broken sticks upon the ocean. What you may not see or realize when you watch those videos is that the surfers are surrounded by helpers! People on jet skis and in boats, ready to snatch them out of the jaws of crashing white foam when then are done with their ride, or get wiped out.  We too have helpers all around us. Some seen, some invisible. Assisting us at all times, when we open and release to receive. Also, we are preparing to meet that giant wave, working on our skills from the inside out. So when life does bear down upon us with events and situations that are out of our control, we are able to ride with confidence. Also, learn to swim. This episode takes us to a still place, using the Orbit Breath and Rhythmic Breathing. These two sophisticated energy practices bring us to a place where the light we encounter clear and cleanses us on all levels: physical, emotional, mental and etheric. We emerge rested and cleansed.'Consciousness at Rest' music by Sanaya Roman (orindaben.com)Podcast production by iRonick Media (ironickmedia.com)Disclaimer:Breath exercises are not intended to diagnose or treat illness.

Welcome to the new season of Miriam's Meditations. Thank you for continuing to breathe and meditate with us and congratulations on creating time and space for your inner explorations. This week we begin again, as fresh beginners, refreshing our skills and techniques with the breath. We do a few breaths we haven't done in a while, creating space as the old is swept away with the breath. That which is no longer serving us is easily cleansed, leaving behind openness, light, harmony and beauty. We align all our bodies, physical, mental, emotional and etheric bodies with our focus and our breathing practice. This leaves us refreshed, alert, alive with light.'The Blessed One' music by Sanaya Roman (orindaben.com)Podcast production by iRonick Media (ironickmedia.com)Disclaimer:Breath exercises are not intended to diagnose or treat illness.

This is the last episode of Season Five. We will begin in the new year with Season Six. This episode bring together all we've been learning about Being our Divine Self and Breathing as our Divine Self. A play exercise from Sanaya Roman, channel for Orin (https://www.orindaben.com/) offers us Aligning with Star Energy as a way to connect to the great beings of our cosmos and bring their exquisite energies into our minds, hearts and lives. We lift into the heavens, finding the Big Dipper, Sirius and the Pleiades star cluster to create a triangle of light. We move with ease, aligning and receiving light, joy, balance and harmony. We become a more perfect expression of our Divine Blueprint. Thank you all for a terrific year of podcasting. Our podcast has reached 28 countries and been downloaded over 4000 times this year.

A light-hearted jaunt into the higher energies just for the fun of it. We sometimes think we need to be so purposeful and serious, especially about our spiritual journey. But doing these wonderful playful meditations without aim, not like it's work but as a fun thing to do, this is valuable and valid in it's own right. It is in the play and the just looking about to see what it there that we can find just the right pivot to just the thing we were needing. We often cannot see what is next when we fight too hard for it. Sometimes we just need to let go and play.'Angels of Beauty' music by Sanaya Roman (orindaben.com)Podcast production by iRonick Media (ironickmedia.com)Disclaimer:Breath exercises are not intended to diagnose or treat illness.

We have been practicing connecting with our Divine Self, breathing as the Divine Self, being the Divine Self. This episode brings all these together in the light of being, where we are our most open to the true nature of who we are. We find this light easily now, breathing and circulating this vitality throughout all the layers of our being. We use these precious moments of breath and peace to share our light with those we love, with our projects or anyone that need healing and light. We find the true nature and power of love as we witness the beingness of the Divine Self.'Sea of Light' music by Sanaya Roman (orindaben.com)Podcast production by iRonick Media (ironickmedia.com)Disclaimer:Breath exercises are not intended to diagnose or treat illness.

A de-stressing practice that is soft and easy for these holiday times. Some gentle opening breaths, massaging our breathing spaces to create ease and openings. Then we open to our Body of Light and experience a solar radiant presence. After filling with light and warmth that is flowing to us, we experience our ordinary selves on a walk in the radiance. We notice we are trailing light, sparkles of brilliance and shine flows effortlessly from our own personal radiance. There is great joy in this light that we are and so easily share.

When we breathe in our practice, we open to our deeper being. We all want to know who we are, and on this deeper level we are our Divine Self. The Divine Self is us. It is our expanded, greater being. As we slow down, breathe with our practice, our Divine Self and our everyday self blend, come into oneness. We can ask questions, listen for wisdom, allow challenges to resolve. When we return from practice, the Divine Self awareness can linger, bringing meaning and grace to our everyday world.

Everything you've been searching for has been hidden in plain sight. You just didn't know it. But guess what? The Light that is You has been seeking to be seen as and through you. Get ready cause it's about to make itself known. In this week's Soul Request reading by Maggie Kalas of Soul Light Coaching, you are encouraged to “Be As You Are.” And it's not what you think you are but what your heart knows.

Beginning with a new practice, Solidifying the Breath, we learn how to concentrate the breath deep in the body with a hand gesture and smooth breath. This practice allows the breath to solidify as energy deep within the body, creating open space for more breath while clearing the mind. After our regular practice, we venture into the divine world, recognizing all creation is based upon divine patterns. We rest our consciousness upon the tree, relaxing into the stillness and stability that is the tree. We find ourselves breathing with the tree, into all our pores. We also breathe into the bottoms of our feet, creating heat and grounding with the breath into the feet. We finish by sharing our divine light with our family, community and relationships.

A relaxing and soft practice of breath awareness leads to awareness of the Divine Self. A sweet and simple breath activity starts and permeates this episode. We simply breathe, with recognition of our physical being, starting with softening and relaxing. Notice the hands, the back of the neck, the crown of the head. We move to softening the emotional body with our breath, noticing any emotions that arise with ease and acceptance. Moving to the mental body, seeing thoughts as clouds floating away in the blue sky. Simply being, breathing. Now we notice our energy body as a lighted sphere. Breathing here we soon move up an octave to a higher realm of light and spiritual energy. We being to notice we are in connection with our Divine Self. The Divine Self is not the soul. The soul connects the human consciousness with the Divine Self. We enter into a union and resonance with the Divine Self. It sends us love, support and guidance. A flow of brilliant light comes down from above filled with sacred geometric shapes that flow around us, harmonizing and nourishing us.

Deep listening. Following the sound of the inner voice. Learning to discern your inner guidance as uplifting, nurturing, kind and soothing. We practice listening to our breath, recognizing the breath can bring us to center and balance. The Divine Pattern is outworking all around us at all times. We can learn to find our place in the pattern by using our imagination at first in the inner realms. As we loosen old ways of looking outside of ourselves for wisdom and truth, we begin to find the inner truth can take many forms: color and light, sound and depth, feelings of certain clarity. We must take the time to be still, breathe and release our personality-level ideas of what should be. Find the inner knowingness by allowing. It takes practice. This type of meditation that leads you deep into your own beingness is the key to finding the sound of the pure tone of truth within.'Cellular Evolution' music by Sanaya Roman (orindaben.com)Podcast production by iRonick Media (ironickmedia.com)Disclaimer:Breath exercises are not intended to diagnose or treat illness.

We as human beings are an essential link in the cosmic web. In our embodiment, we join heaven and earth energies. We begin today with stretching and settling into our bodies. We notice a stream of light energy from the heavens flowing into our heads and down to our feet. After a few breaths, we begin to draw energy up from the earth into our bodies. The energies begin to set up a union of heaven and earth through our focus. This is easily done as a playful exercise. After our pranayama, we notice our aura and body of light, filling in the frequencies of light and color, patterns of harmony. We begin to lift our earth reality to the higher octave of light. We also follow the energy down to the earth plane, imbuing ordinary reality with light and energy from the higher realms. The two become one. We are the focus of the joining, through our energy systems and our attention. We allow this expansion on behalf of all of humanity, radiating this light out for all to use.'Cellular Evolution' music by Sanaya Roman (orindaben.com)Podcast production by iRonick Media (ironickmedia.com)Disclaimer:Breath exercises are not intended to diagnose or treat illness.

We have so many opinions and sentiments about abundance. This week, we use our awareness of how the breath moves in the body, especially when we are in the top of the breath and letting the breath flow out. Air is inherently abundant on our planet earth. When we notice the fluid flowing breath, we find abundance and recognize the nourishment of breath. As we expand into breathing as our Divine Self, we know that qualities such as harmony, peace and love are all infinitely abundant. We recognize our inherent ability to sense our divine self and expand into its awareness. We begin to find our place in the divine plan. The divine plan does not require surrender of self but becomes an enhancement of self, for as you find the place where you can offer the highest and best of who you are, the plan returns to you a flow of high quality purity that buoys you higher and higher. You become the best you can be and more and more of your highest good can flow to you.'Spiritual Sun Vortex' music by Sanaya Roman (orindaben.com)Podcast production by iRonick Media (ironickmedia.com)Disclaimer:Breath exercises are not intended to diagnose or treat illness.

Do you have questions about the fundamentals of breath practice and why it's so useful in our lives? Listen in to a recent conversation I had with podcaster Sheila West, of All About You podcast. She is a wise, intuitive host with great questions and real curiosity about breath practice and meditation. I really enjoyed talking with her and I hope you enjoy our discussion.

This episode marks the beginning of a new exploration of Breathing as Your Divine Self. What does that mean? We will be exploring what is the Divine Self, how we can expand our awareness of ourselves  in this larger wholeness and what it means to breathe in this way. We start with some exploration of our Optimum Breath, opening our capacity to breathe in a way that is balanced for our activity, fluid and flowing and open in all areas of the breathing space. We use the breath to clear our minds and settle the emotional body. Moving on from our pranayama practice we then find ourselves using the imagination to sense, play and open to the energies of our greater being. We use the power of breath to expand into potentials for new openings, new vistas, finding what is moving toward us in the greater world, connecting to purpose. We finish by breathing into any portion of the physical body that needs attention or focus at this time. Optimum breath leads to opportunity to heal.'Angels of Love' music by Sanaya Roman (orindaben.com)Podcast production by iRonick Media (ironickmedia.com)Disclaimer:Breath exercises are not intended to diagnose or treat illness.

Welcome to what's next for you. Two links below recognizing the people of Maui as they use their sacred waters to create a cleansing ritual known as a Paddle Out. This paddle out had over 1000 surfboards and riders, all singing their hearts into the light of the ocean. Many had not seen each other or their Lahaina home since the fires last month. Trigger alert: The longer of the two videos has views of the fires and the burned landscape. The shorter video has only video of the water and surfers and some local people sharing with the reporter. In the breathing practice we find clear energies and openings. We refresh our pranayama and notice all the light it brings into our being. The sphere of light all around us, our etheric body or aura, shimmers with new energies. Noticing all that we can bring in that creates more and more beauty, sounds, colors, memories, joy, love, peaceful flow. As we move deeper into the meditation, we lift higher, noticing whatever may be ready to shift for us first as energy, then as color or patterns or waves of heart-full emotion. Light pours in, refreshing and renewing us. We are aware of opening to what is ready for a shift or whatever is next for us. https://youtu.be/WYIMW4rXGFU?si=c-Hxwf3i_aGp_SRxhttps://youtu.be/Qg2sfqTiGnc?si=WcfCV6t9X9z56nP1Connect:www.miriamsmeditations.comcontact@miriamsmeditations.com'The Blessed One' music by Sanaya Roman (orindaben.com)Podcast production by iRonick Media (ironickmedia.com)Disclaimer:Breath exercises are not intended to diagnose or treat illness.
