Sonia C. is joining in from London, and she is loving the chance to live life in the moment. It's one of her favorite forms of meditation! From resetting a frayed nervous system to focusing inward rather than on the chaos that is swirling around all of us, living in the moment brings bursts of creativity and connects us to our portals of intuitive listening.    This week's theme is: Find your personal lane of meditation.    Highlights: Nothing beats living in the moment. [:30]  Sonia T.'s intuitive listening led her to the thrift shop! [4:35]  Nothing calms a barking dog like meditation. [6:34]  What if I can't sit still long enough to meditate? [8:18] Transmissions of peace from Nana. [11:15] Sonia C.'s update from London. [13:26]  Scan the field and listen to those vibrations. [18:54] Intention first, then connection. [26:04]  Engage your senses and your intuition will follow. [31:13]  Tool of the Week: Get a ribbon and move your body! [43:25]  Question of the Week: Is the voice that guides me back to calm my spirit? [48:46]   The world feels so unstable right now, but we've got the perfect way to center yourself and quiet all of the noise. Get lost in the moment. Go for a walk, spend some time in your garden or yard, get creative. Meditation in its simplest form happens not when we are thinking, but when we are feeling. When you give yourself a moment that is worth getting lost in, you're giving yourself permission to dive into your intuitive portals.    Tune in and you'll hear exactly what the vibrations are telling you. Whether it's time to lean in or get out, being an intuitive, connected soul means that you have the power to honor your true self. Moving your hands will allow you to ease into a flow state. Clean your house, create art, or sit outside and listen with your body. We are all connected, through music, through heartbeats, and through vibrations. It's time to get out of your head and into your body. Are you ready to tune in?    Tool of the Week: Get a ribbon and move your body!

Escape into a world of serene tranquility with Zen Rainforest Flow, a deeply relaxing sleep soundscape designed to calm your mind and soothe your spirit. Featuring a gentle Buddhist meditative flute melody, this soundscape is layered with the soft rhythm of a light jungle rainstorm, the calming flow of a peaceful creek, and the subtle pulse of 8 Hz theta wave binaural beats. Let the spiritual tones of the flute guide your breath, while the natural ambiance of the rainforest wraps you in comfort. The theta waves help ease your mind into a meditative, dreamlike state, perfect for deep relaxation, stress relief, and restful sleep. --

It is easy to assume that we know ourselves. After all, who could be more familiar with me than, well, me? But contemplation teaches us that there are many layers to the self, some superficial, but others so hidden from us that only God can know us at these extraordinary depths. Enter an exploration in this episode with guidance from St. Augustine and the wisdom teachings of Jesus to discover your True Self. 7-day meditation retreat (September 30th - October 7th) 3-day meditation retreat (December 11th-13th)

Nicholas Jamerson is regarded as one of the finer songwriters in the current Americana, folk and country scene. His heartfelt lyrics of love, loss and lamentation born from the hills of Eastern Kentucky were the foundation of the success of Sundy Best, his award-winning band and collaboration with Kris Bentley. But after its temporary break-up/hiatus, Jamerson continued writing and recording as a solo act, often backed by the Morning Jays, his support band. He's churned out six studio and two live albums over the last decade, the newest of which, The Narrow Way, dropped June 20. It is the third album in a trilogy preceded by The Wild Frontier (2020) and Peace Mountain (2023). Jamerson joined Roots Music Rambler this week to talk about the new album, which he acknowledged is a bit meditative about life, love and loss. He also talked about his new status as an elder statesman in the folk/singer-songwriter space, how he balances projects like Sundy Best which still tours, and his past as a high school and college football star. You'll notice Jamerson repeats the notion that songs and songwriting are his “work.” We're lucky to be able to experience the craftsmanship.

What would it be like if, at will, we could “silence the mind and be aware at the core of our being.” Sufi Master, Kabir Helminski writes that from these depths we receive “help from the Source of Life.” As we learn to join ourselves with this Source—some would call it God—we find that it contains all the qualities of Spirit in potential, waiting to express through our unique vessel.

Jesus tells us that “unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone.” Rumi, the Sufi poet, echoes this wisdom, declaring that, “Except for dying…no other skill impresses God.” What does this mean? How do we “die before we die?” Prepare to enter the mystery in this episode and discover what “plentiful harvest” awaits on the other side of life.   Upcoming, in-person offerings with Thomas: 7-day meditation retreat (September 30th - October 7th) 9-month deep dive in the contemplative life (still accepting applications)  

In this one-hour binaural soundscape, let your mind drift with the gentle rhythm of slow ocean waves, dreamy ambient music, and the distant call of seagulls.   Crafted for sleep, deep relaxation, or mindful focus, Moonlight Tide creates a soft and immersive coastal atmosphere — pure, evolving sound textures that encourage stillness.  

Father Richard Rohr shared at a recent gathering that his spiritual practice nowadays is to, “ look at something till I love it. It doesn't take very long.” What could this mean? What would that be like? Thomas shares a related scripture in this episode and invites you to see with the eyes of love, and to marvel how all things are made new.   Upcoming, in-person offerings with Thomas: 7-day meditation retreat (September 30th - October 7th) 9-month deep dive in the contemplative life (still accepting applications)  

What's your relationship with the meditative arts? Tried meditation but gave up because of being ‘too busy brained'? Think Tai Chi and Qi Gong is for the elderly only? Find it hard to keep a regular practice?

Visionary artist Delphine Diallo joins me in Sacred Conversation. We cover the cosmos in this one. AI as both a colonizing and liberating instrument. History as a mirror. Ancestral remembrance. Embodied spirituality. Bruce Lee. And so much more. May this soul medicine nourish you. You may find Delphine's work on Instagram at @delphinediallo.....Sacred Conversations are periodic episodes of my podcast in which I reach out to people whose work and life inspire me, and we simply have a soulful conversation. Prerecorded for video and available on my YouTube channel. No scripted, transactional, extractive, one-sided interview dynamic. Just two people with a care and curiosity for each other's journey and creative work, asking each other about what stirs in us, and enjoying the ancient, mutually healing art of listening deeply. Again, not an interview. A spiritual communion. The idea is for us to relax and enjoy an organic conversation, like over tea or breaking bread, and to get to know each other along the way. ....All of my books are available at booksellers worldwide.

In a sense, contemplative prayer is none other than the practice of deepening one's faith in God. But faith manifests in many guises. Perhaps a less obvious quality of faith is confidence. What does it mean to sit with a “restful confidence,” fully trusting that God is bringing about a mighty work in you? Listen to this episode as Thomas draws from the inspired thinking of Sri Aurobindo as well as a favorite scripture of his from back home. May you live prayerfully, always with a “perfect brightness of hope.”   7-day meditation retreat (September 30th - October 7th) 9-month deep dive in the contemplative life (still accepting applications)

Daria Burke is an author, executive, and healer-at-heart. She's also a grandchild grieving for her grandmother and a daughter estranged from her parents. In this episode, Daria shares the profound impact of losing her maternal grandmother at age seven and how that early loss reverberated through her life. This loss and grief exist alongside the immense healing she's done around growing up in poverty, childhood trauma, and her parents' absences, addictions, and the eventual estrangement from them. With the recent release of her memoir, Of My Own Making, Daria opens up about the moment, decades later, that reawakened the grief for her grandmother - finding a newspaper article about her fatal car accident. That discovery, and ensuing grief, started a new chapter in Daria's healing process. In our conversation, we talk about inherited trauma, the emotional weight of estrangement, the invisible grief of childhood neglect, Daria's healing practices, and how she  stays connected to her grandmother through what she calls “love taps.” Key Topics: What role Daria's grandmother played in her early childhood The ongoing impacts of childhood grief and unprocessed trauma How truth-telling is part of healing The collective grief she grew up around in Detroit of the 1980's Uncovering the grief she buried after her grandmother died Grieving for family members who are still alive Grief Practices Daria Shares: Giving herself permission to cry freely Meditative practices to connect with her grandmother Volunteering on holidays and creating new rituals Finding signs from her grandmother in the world around her Daria Burke is an American writer, speaker and award-winning business leader. A marketer by trade and a seeker at heart, Daria is a storyteller and sense-maker, weaving together personal experience and the science of healing and transformation to explore new ways of understanding how we choose who we become. This passion led her to complete Dr. Tara Swart's Neuroscience for Business course at MIT and Positive Psychology and Well-Being at Stanford, taught by Dr. Daryn Reicherter, an international expert in trauma psychiatry.  Her debut memoir, OF MY OWN MAKING (April 2025) explores trauma, neuroplasticity, and Post-Traumatic Growth through the lens of her own healing journey. Kiese Laymon called it “as profound a book about the treacherous experience of befriending ourselves as I've read this decade.” Part memoir, part methodology, OF MY OWN MAKING blends personal narrative with scientific insight, Daria inspires readers to reimagine the narratives that define their lives.

The sound of a twig snapping in our hands has the ability to travel directly into our soul. There's more to it than just hearing the sound—it's the vibration, the frequency, and it's also your soul's history. In long ago, previous lifetimes, we gathered, stepped on, broke, carved, pointed, leaned on, and utilized sticks, branches and twigs for many reasons, such as survival and even for cultural and ritualistic reasonings. As long as humankind has been here, so have trees, shrubs and bushes, and there has been a forever relationship between humans and twigs ever since. Breaking twigs is a powerful meditation, a powerful clearing tool and rewiring mechanism that can penetrate through the walls of PTSD, wounds of hardship and mental, emotional, and even spiritual injuries and blockages that feel like something has impeded a person's progress and seems to be keeping them stuck in a vicious cycle of confusion. Healing occurs on all levels when applying this powerful meditational tool. In this episode, learn how to break twigs in a way that moves you forward. It's an experience that you will never forget in this lifetime.   In this episode…   Learn about a powerful rewiring tool and spiritual healing therapy and how to harness it. Discover the best methods for snapping twigs, which twigs to choose and how many you should gather for this meditation. Uncover how thousands of years ago, your soul experienced the snapping of twigs and how to connect to those experiences. Learn how this therapy and spiritual tool can rewire the consciousness, subconsciousness, brain and the soul. Discover the imprint-removing powers that snapping twigs can enact. Learn how snapping twigs can be used as a form of communication between you and others.   All this and more, tune in and don't miss out on this important episode. You can revisit this episode anytime you need it.   For more information visit www.medicalmedium.com

Contemporary drawing is one of art's best kept secrets: associated with sound, language and writing, it turns contemporary art into a meditative form of art-making engaging the spectator in a poetic and existential voyage. Led by Blank's discovery of sound within the daily practice of drawing, this episode is a sonic wandering and a philosophical exploration of the artist's work, engaging with recent technological changes. How can a minimal and poetic practice face such specific issues? What is the role of the artist facing a global net of information which connects us as much as it separates us? And what is the value of communication – and of silence? Irma Blank has taught me that and much more.The avant-gardes of the 1960s–70s were proliferous in innovative and minimal methods of creativity engaging the breath, the whole body and graphic deconstructions of language. Irma Blank was one of those artists with a subversive take on traditional artistic languages. Have you ever wondered how artists and curators work together? This episode muses upon the relation between me, a young-ish curator and the artist Irma Blank, who'd reached the age of 80 when we met, along with my co-curator Johana Carrier. This episode is an excerpt of a lecture given by me on the 3rd of February  2025 at ABK Stuttgart whose title was "The Paper is Impatient", under the invitation of the drawing department, and their teachers Katrin Ströbel and Hanna Hennenkemper.The « drawing sounds » are excerpts of Irma Blank's recordings of the sound of each series.

It is centred around the artistic practice of female German artist Irma Blank, who never stopped producing her art, whether it was shown in prestigious events such as the Venice Biennale in 1977, or it wasn't, like when her Radical Writings on canvas were deemed a form of yielding to the 80s trend of the return to painting... whereas Blank was, on the contrary, more militant than ever for her elemental forms of the line and the minimal gesture by deeply engaging with the meditative breath in relation to the line and the colour blue, which for her represented infinity. Blank passed away in 2023, leaving a potent body of work whose incredible energy leaves no spectator or curator indifferent.
