Instead of requiring active focus or concentration, restorative meditation involves lying down completely supported, scanning your body for tension, and 'letting go of effort' to achieve deep physical and mental renewal. This style is highly beneficial for individuals dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, or burnout. It is also widely used as a sleep aid or an afternoon reset, making it ideal for those who struggle with traditional, active meditation techniques.

~ scroll to bottom to play ~ Healing The Mind: Cognitive Priming for Lasting Resilience 'ask dorothy' The WISDOM podcast  Season 5  Episode 161 ~   In this episode of 'ask dorothy' People experiencing mental ill health frequently engage in a style of thinking called “Repetitive Negative Thinking.” This style of thinking involves the tendency to have negative thoughts about the future (worry) or about the past (rumination), and these thoughts can feel uncontrollable. In the absence of a cure or effective treatment for dementia, attention has shifted towards identifying risk factors for prevention.   Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) describes self-perceived worsening of cognition despite unimpaired performance on neuropsychological tests. SCD has been associated with an increased dementia risk and steeper memory decline.   Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) is a transdiagnostic process that manifests across several mental health disorders associated with increased vulnerability to dementia. RNT has thus been proposed as a candidate marker of risk for dementia and, relatedly, could contribute to the manifestation of SCD.  The best measures if you are looking to support optimal cognitive functioning is to begin with your daily thoughts and the underlying beliefs that influence the thoughts you hold.

Perhaps when you've been excited to be speaking with someone, perhaps you notice that you enjoy the attention when all eyes in a group are focus on you ~ maybe its when you have that special someone's undivided attention - or maybe you've overshared as the result of having a certain affinity towards a person you've just met - or someone in a trusted long term relationship.   To overshare is to disclose an inappropriate amount of highly personal, sensitive, or confidential information. It can be to the wrong people - for example to your boss or a work colleague, in the wrong setting, - in the middle of a job interview, at a friend's party perhaps as you find yourself the center of attention yet you don't really know anyone at the party - or disclosing too much, too early as you are starting to get to know someone in a relationship.

The Practice of 'Letting Go' 'ask dorothy' The WISDOM podcast  Season 5  Episode 145 ~    Letting go is the precursor to relief, calm, peace and the beginning of joy. Letting go is the important first step to then choosing what you will hold instead.   Letting go means that you've first examined a thought, a situation, a behaviour of your own or of someone else, and to the best of your awareness you've been able to answer: Is there truth to my thought? Are my thoughts 100% true and accurate?   True letting go is about the willingness you give each and every moment to live the present before you. This new breath, this reliable instance, this grace that becomes the catalyst for living true to all of your being ~ because the moments you need to fix are the ones that have already happened. And while they are unchangeable they are often fixable.   ~ Namaste

To feel peace ~ to walk its path each day ~ is to first calibrate yourself to feel all of the sacred moments of life as your own. Not through the lens of another's perspective or angst, rather through your heart. Enjoy this practice as an invitation to witness yourself as all love and tenderness ~ and sacred - because you are. ~ Namaste and love to you

The Integration Your Sacred Calling to Life The WISDOM podcast  Season 5  Episode 142 ~ Universal truth is the path of all love into each real world moment. It is the foreshadowing of what creates true miracles - the healing of relationships - out of conflict, strife, suffering into understanding, patience, kindness, love...   Its the democracy of culture - of living in harmony with each other - of sacred ground that finds a path and conviction towards lending one's self to witness the greater truth (and freedom) of life. Truth as the context for which all miracles and desires are born out of love and only love. Loving kindness is the condition for how we may choose to be unto our self. In the grace of all miracles - in the happenstance of true power led by affirming words and the conditions of kindness, respect, honesty and right action. The Integration is your sacred calling to life.  It is living your spiritual awakening. You have embodied a way of being that no longer fits with what you have lived before. ~ Namaste and love to you

What Are You Mirroring? The Neuroscience Of Emotional Bonding  |  'ask dorothy' The WISDOM podcast  Season 5  Episode 140 ~    In this Episode:   We'll look at the mechanism and function of mirror neurons; how they came to be discovered ~ and what we know from indirect evidence through fMSI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) in humans. All to which sheds light on why we learn through observing the behavior of others ~ and why being in the presence of difficult, angry, unkind and toxic people, whether we are watching them in the media or they are in front of us, has such an negative, diminishing and at times an aggressive influence on how we feel and act. ~    I also want to share how... Understanding and using mirroring behavior is actually a skill that you can develop ~ that will enable you to create rapport and connection with others. Helpful in business and in your relationships, mirroring behavior is a life skill.  As you mindfully live confident, calm, and self-empowered, you mirror this widely positive behavior with all others ~ and it becomes a tool of healing conflict and unresolved hurts of the past.

Do You Have Unrelenting Standards? 'ask dorothy' The WISDOM podcast  Season 5  Episode 137 ~  Unrelenting standards are an early maladaptive schema—a deeply ingrained belief system—characterized by the relentless pursuit of excessively high, perfectionistic standards to avoid criticism.

You'll understand the orgins and impact of this maladaptive schema on your life. I'll share helpful, concrete tools for getting starting ~ in reprogramming yourself with kindness, self-compassion and through a lens of evidence-based CBT strategies for rewriting your core schema. ~  Are you interested in learning if you hold maladaptive schemas?

  In Full Embrace of YOU The WISDOM podcast  Season 5  Episode 136 ~ Embracing you is how you formulate the greater confidence that helps you pursue a path that is unique to your talents and abilities, your interests, your passions ~ your loves.

When you go within for your answers ~ for your truth, you will always receive what guidance and wisdom is right and best for you.   Rather than follow what others are doing, allow others to inspire you to do what you choose.   Follow your own path and rhythm.  Feel your way to what feels right and best as this will always be what allows you to feel fulfilled, happy, content and authentic.   ~ Namaste and love to you

It's Called Manipulation 'ask dorothy' The WISDOM podcast  Season 5  Episode 131 ~  Manipulation in a couple relationship is the tendency for one person to take advantage of the love, commitment and loyalty of their partner. To manipulate is to influence or control a person, a situation, or an outcome in a subtle or obvious way ~ that serves one's advantage.   There will be occasions where the manipulation is innocent. It is not intended to harm and control. Yet if manipulative behavior is not named and addressed, if the other person is left to think that their words and actions are justified and reasonable, the behaviour can persist ~ the tactics more pressing, obvious, and debilitating. ~ Here I share 16 signs of manipulation in a relationship, the five most common tactics used and how emotional manipulation and its kinder, pro social counterpart ~ 'managing behavior' are both measurable constructs in psychological science.   If you would like my help in navigating the perils of being in a relationship where your partner is manipulative, please reach out to me ~ let me help.   ~ Namaste

Letting Go... 'ask dorothy' The WISDOM podcast  Season 5  Episode 126 ~  You can never go back in time to those moments already lived. They can only be memories of a different time. To let go isn't to forget or even forgive - it is to accept and to make corrections so that how you are choosing to live in the present is calm, careful, deliberate, decisive and positive. ----more---- Letting go is to hold onto the present - to invite in the sacredness of now, to give away the need to 'try and relive something ~ to remind your younger self ~ and your yesterday 'self' ~ you are okay, you were loved, you are loved, you are special and to bring forward into now all of the goodness that you are willing to live here in each new moment.   When you hold on too tightly, you create tension and the lack of flow that needs to enter your life. When you refuse to let go when doing so is an expression of the fluidity of life, simply feel the weight of what you are holding to. Is it easeful, light, ethereal, spiritual, love or something that feel heavy, weighted, impossible, exhausting?   Letting go is the precursor to relief, calm, peace and the beginning of joy.

That is the power of this word spoken aloud, whispered gently and felt throughout your being.   If you would like my help and guidance as you step into your innate potential and the power word that becomes a mantra in this new year please reach out to me. I'm here to help.   ~ Namaste
