{Free Video Meditation} For Empowerment

by Music & MeditationsVideos

Does this sound familiar to you?

…You have all these projects and ideas yet when you go to take action inertia takes over.

…You are highly skilled and have many certifications in all sorts of modalities but you are not teaching or using these skills.

…You know you have a calling to serve, yet you say you don’t know what your soul’s purpose is.

…When attention is directed to you in a meeting or public setting you are overcome by fear, you avoid, retreat or procrastinate.

…When you get compliments you quickly deflect them and have difficulty receiving them.

These can be conditions/experiences present with a third chakra energy imbalance.

This can be caused by:

  1. Disconnection with the Fire element of transformation
  2. Early core wounds in your childhood experience around your confidence, self-esteem and power
  3. Societal programming pressures around scarcity consciousness and being told ‘what you are not’/fear of rejection

What can you do to balance your energy system and heal your power center?

I am offering you a simple 15 min empowerment meditation today that brings you into a past experience when you felt powerless and invites you to shift the ending of this story by taking a powerful action instead and inviting the support of your spiritual guides.  This will shift your energy and bring power back to you.

Nature is our reflection.

In Shamanism, Yoga and other ancient wisdom teachings we understand that Nature is our reflection.

Thus, we learn about our human energy centers through the qualities of the master energies/frequencies of Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Ether/Space/Center (depending on the traditions) and we heal through connecting with them.

Qualities of the 3rd Chakra:

•    Sun/Heat/Yellow Color
•    Fire Element/Inti Father Sun
•    Relates to your gifts/talent/purpose and action in the world
•    Imbalances relate to issues with power, esteem, confidence, energy, action, intertia, healthy digestion/agni
•    In Shamanic studies can relate to the old patterns stuck in the mind and your self-limiting beliefs
•    The demon of this chakra is guilt/blame + unhealthy ego

How do these qualities relate to me?

When we are healthy in our power center we feel connected to our action and purpose in the world based on the gifts and talents we know we have.

When we feel empowered we take action instead of sitting back and waiting for things to happen to us. We become the co-creators and manifesting generators of our experience.

We want to have a healthy relationship to the Ego and not be burdened by experiences that draw continually upon our energy.

The meditation from today will bring you into the past to re-write the scripts that result in empowered action which brings great healing and allows you to re-direct your energy to positive projects.

Empowerment Meditation  (15 min) + Breath of Fire

  1. Click my video above to meditate and learn the process (this is 15 min, but I invite you into a longer one another time).
  2. Before or after this meditation feel free to do a minute of Breath of Fire breathing to clear out any energetic residue.
  3. Breath of Fire – if unfamiliar with it, here’s a great video from one of my favorite artists Simrit who is also a kundalini yogi.

If you like these processes, these are the types of tools that I might offer my clients during their highly customized 7- week Shamanic journey through each of their chakra energy centers.
At each energy center we go through a variety of processes to find what is stuck at all levels (physical, emotional, mental, spiritually) and work to move it through the system.

With this knowledge, we can deprogram and re-balance the energy centers for overall life balance.

We do this through an extensive tool box of coaching, in-person and remote shamanic healings, shamanic journeying, meditations, yoga, breathwork, sound healing, and tantra.

Are you one who takes empowered action?

Or not?

 

A great way to know if you are a candidate for coaching or energy work is to book a 15 minute candid chat with me 😉

P.S. I now have a NEW GROUP PROGRAM as well as my signature
ONE-ON-ONE coaching program called “Unleash the Shamanic Priestess Within + Thrive”.

{Free Meditation + Water Ritual} To Manage Fear of Change + The Unknown

by Music & Meditations

Does this sound familiar to you?

…You want to trust in the flow of life, but there seems to be a boulder blocking your river of abundance.

…When someone tries to support you, you find it difficult to surrender, trust and let go.

…Your creative projects are at a standstill because you are not flowing.

…When change is on the horizon in your life, you feel anxious or overwhelmed.

…When you open yourself up to a partner, you can’t really ‘let your hair down’ because you have some feelings of guilt or shame in the way.

…You think to yourself, “OMG, that’s that same relationship pattern repeating itself.  Why do I always end up with these people?”

…You can’t access your emotions easily, or you can’t stop the damn that has broken and your emotions feel scary.

…Your libido is less than stellar and you can’t find ways to access pleasure.

These can be conditions/experiences present with a sexual chakra energy imbalance. 

This can be caused by:

  1. Disconnection with the Water element of flow,movement and change
  2. Early core wounds in your childhood experience with Masculine/Feminine energies outside of you + balance of your own masculine/feminine within
  3. Societal programming pressures around needing to have the ‘perfect’ relationship or fit a certain masculine/feminine archetype

What can you do to balance your energy system and heal your sexual center?

I am offering you a very simple practice today that can help you feel more purity in your body, detox some old emotional energy, and connect you with the water element and flow.

Qualities of the 2nd Chakra:

  • Water/Orange Color
  • Moon Element/Mamakia
  • Relates to your emotional body
  • Imbalances relate to issues with mother/father, balance of masculine and feminine energies (ying/yang), creativity, abundance, sexuality movement, healthy relationship to desire/needs
  • Shame
  • Fear around change/unknown

How do these qualities relate to me?

The unknown can feel scary. How do you manage it in times of life, relationship or career transition?

How do you leap and trust that the net will appear?

1.  First you need to get grounded, connected to the Earth and resourced from within. You need to remember that you are supported to fulfill your highest potential. You need to remember your “Why” – your right to be here!

2. Secondly, it’s important to connect to your sacral chakra’s energy of flow, water and the essence of “Who you Are” – your birthright to be YOU.

When you connect to your mission and your essence, you realize that there is a very divine blueprint that is within you. And part of the process of living your life’s mission is to surrender your pain and attachments and live in the now of listening.

The water energy relates to your emotional body and your ability to be fluid or not within. Emotions are energies much like water that are meant to move and transform. If you hold on to them with the stories of the past, you get stuck and rigid and start paddling upstream.

The sacral chakra is the dance of the Masculine + Feminine energies and your sexual life force energy. When you are balanced in the Yin/Yang, you will flow easier because you can access the appropriate energy to support the whole. You can be receptive and relaxed for creative inner guidance (yin) and take action and be motivated to produce (yang).

When your emotions get the best of you and you get trapped you can migrate into fear, shame, guilt and other lower frequencies that don’t support the knowing of life being for you. An imbalance in this chakra can show itself as fear of the unknown.

Here is very simple practice BELOW can help you cleanse, feel more purity in your body, detox some old emotional energy, and connect you with the water element of flow and trust.

Water Purification Ritual +  Meditation Practice (19 minutes)

  1. You can listen to this FREE meditation/lesson about the 2nd chakra from my dropbox HERE
  2. Take an Epsom salt bath* ( 2 cups/40 min). Could add essential oils. I like Citrus Bliss from doTerra for sacral.
  3. Connect with the purifying quality of the water
  4. Hydrate during and after. Then lather yourself with good oils to seal it all in.

*Epsom salts boost magnesium which regulates over 300 enzymes in your body. It reduces stress, eliminates toxins, pulls heavy metals. Reduces pain & inflammation. Helps regulate blood sugar.

If you like these processes, these are the types of tools that I might offer my clients during their highly customized 7- week Shamanic journey through each of their energy centers.

At each energy center we go through a variety of processes to find what is stuck at all levels (physical, emotional, mental, spiritually) and work to move it through the system.

5 Quick Tips for a Daily Meditation Practice

by Music & MeditationsNicole's Blog

I love meditating and have incredible insights in them, yet I find there are a million excuses not to meditate.  I know it’s because the mind is restless.  For me, meditation sometimes feels like I’m not doing anything.  And yes, Nicole, that is the point!!! It’s to let the mind relax, or as they say at the Den Meditation studio where I work, #ctfo (chill the F out!).  I ironically teach this class. LOL.

Here are 5 quick ways to create a meditation practice:

  1. Put meditation in your calendar just like any outside appointment that you have. Make it at a consistent time so it becomes a ritual. Either early AM before your day or late PM before sleep are great times.
  2.  Do not move your appointment or cancel it.
  3. Create a beautiful inspiring space for it. Make it comfortable, quiet and peaceful and not in an area where you can be distracted.
  4. Start easy – 1 minute the first day, 2 minutes the 2nd until you reach 7 minutes at the end of the week and start to climb from there.  It’s still meditaiton if you have allowed yourself peace and quiet. Ideally work to a 30 min practice.
  5.  Try using quiet music to set an inspiring backdrop. Pandora has some great stations like “Samyaya” that are meditation channels. Music may help dissolve the thoughts for some of us that have trouble getting into the practice.

If none of these work for you, then get your butt over to the Den Meditation Studio on LaBrea and start meditating with other people to get inspired in the group collective consciousness!

There are so many amazing benefits to meditation such as improved sleep, memory and clarity. It helps to connect you within, dissolve obstacles that hinder and bind us and gives you the ability to understand your soul’s deepest desires, passions and purpose in life!

While you are at it. Start a journaling practice which will help you integrate the wisdom teachings you receive. Check out this ultimate guide to meditation journals as well!

 

Amrita, Sacred Healing Mantras for the Soul, Ready for Download!

by Music & Meditations

Track Info

Our souls collided to create this body of mantras in the hopes of inspiring, rejuvenating, and empowering others in their own yoga classes and meditations.

On a fall day in 2014, Evan Goldman found himself in a yoga class taught by Nicole Doherty. At the end of the class, Nicole turned down the lights and sang a sacred healing mantra, an experience Evan would never forget. Deeply inspired by Nicole’s voice and the power of the mantra, Evan approached Nicole about the prospect of working together and thus began this exciting collaboration.

A mantra is an instrument of the mind, a sound or vibration that you can use to enter a deep state of meditation. We are all made of sound and light and so in chanting these mantras, we are remembering who we really are. Mantras inspire gratitude, happiness, compassion, kindness, peace, beauty, wisdom, and truth.

We chose “AMRITA” as the name of our album as it means “immortality” and is often referred to as nectar for the soul, Atman, in ancient texts. It is our hope that these musical mantras will provide nectar for your soul, and help lead you to “Self Realization,” the recognition of your own immortality.

On a very personal note, I’m excited that we got to complete this project for the labor & birth of our son! I can’t wait to play these for him!
