How This Began:
This anxiously awaited Guided Meditation CD was born from students in my classes wanting to practice their breathing and meditation practice at home, with guidance.
I've been teaching meditation classes and workshops across the country after my own journey of finding stress relief and deep healing through meditation and yoga. The classes are so very profound but I started to realize that this was the only time my students were really able to relax. Giving them simple breathing exercises as homework helped a little but it was really only after recording guided sessions they could listen to at-will were they able to fully develop their own practice. My students are my greatest teachers and it is because of them and for them that I'm creating this series of CDs.
The Impact
We live in a world full of stimulus and sometimes it's simply too much
to ask to quiet the mind with so much going on around us. Using breath
work and my voice, students as well as seasoned practitioners can have a
tool that allows them to melt the world away and experience stress
relief as well as increased love and confidence. In each of the CDs, people will learn how to use breath as focus and how to release stress and increase healing through guided meditation.
If you've ever tried to meditation and haven't found a way to "clear your mind", this CD is for you. Through it you will learn that it's not necessary to clear the mind as much as it is to increase focus. This is about changing the relationship with the breath and the mind and with those changes we help create more joy in people's lives.
Joining forces with fellow practitioners and teachers, I'll be creating a series of guided meditation CDs as tools for deeper focus.
What is it?
This CD focuses on love and confidence and is the first in a series of guided meditations that allow for deep healing through focusing on the various energy centers of the body. By tapping into your inner self, you will open up a way to achieve and become the greatest person you can be and increasing joy in your life. The funding helps us not only create the first CD, it also sets us on the path to create more.
Each of the CDs will have tracks with only the guided meditation but some will have powerful background music to help with breath work.
Some of the what's coming up in the series:
Creating & Inviting Love
Chakra Balancing
Spiritual Detox
