Heart Based Meditation: For Busy Minds, Busy Lives

 

Effortless Meditation (EM)

Heart Based Meditation (HBM) is tailored for the active mind and dynamic lifestyle. It's a journey to inner peace that's easy, soothing, and enriches your mental state with dopamine.

 

Transcending the Mind

HBM takes you beyond thoughts, purifying your nervous system and releasing stress embedded in your cellular memory. You will come to experience a state of consciousness by learning how to inwardly surf on a subtle, personalized mantra.

 

Embracing Thoughts

Thoughts during meditation are as natural as a heartbeat. They signify the release of daily stress, leading you towards mental detoxification.

​

Guided Preparation

As someone who often grapples with a torrent of thoughts, partly due to ADHD traits, I understand how challenging it can be to manage the flood of thoughts during meditation. This experience often leads my clients to believe they're not meditating effectively, resulting in them giving up on the practice. To address this, I've developed a guided meditation coupled with heart centering as a gentle lead-in to silent Heart-Based Meditation (HBM). This approach, which I call ‘Meditation w/Training Wheels,’ helps ease clients into a state of effortless relaxation, making it ideal for beginners and those with particularly active minds.

​

It is not about being good at meditation… We meditate not to excel in the practice, but to enhance every aspect of our lives.

​

Advanced Benefits of HBM
By engaging in HBM, you unlock:

  • Elevated consciousness and awareness.

  • Enhanced intuition.

  • Intuitive insight into your body’s natural healing abilities.

  • Higher vibrational alignment with the Universe’s gifts.

 

Transformative Experiences
Regular practitioners of HBM report:

  • Reduced stress and anxiety.

  • Improved sleep quality.

  • Increased joy, mental clarity, and focus.

  • Healthier relationships and better conflict resolution skills.

 

Daily Practice, Profound Shifts
With consistent practice, you'll notice shifts in cravings, behaviors, and emotional triggers. Experience grace and ease, dynamic inner calm, and overall wellness.

​

Personal Testimony
HBM has profoundly impacted my life, making me more grounded and present, while heightening my intuition. It's a treasure for anyone, especially those with depression, bi-polar and ADHD traits!

​

Scientific Backing for Brain Health and Aging
Studies show that consistent meditation increases telomerase (an enzyme that prevents aging) by 30%, combating premature aging at the cellular level. Increased telomerase not only slows brain aging, but reverses it, ensuring a healthy, vibrant mind into old age.

​

Neurological Growth and Plasticity
HBM supports the growth and development of your nervous system, promoting brain synchronization and higher consciousness.

​

Boosted Immune Function
Regular meditation strengthens brain areas linked to immune function, enhancing overall health.

​

Dopamine Regulation
Meditation naturally elevates dopamine levels, balancing mood, attention, and emotional well-being.

​

Thicker Corpus Callosum
People who Meditate develop a thicker corpus callosum, which enables creative problem-solving,

even under stress. 

​

Holistic Benefits of HBM:

  • Ego liberation and spiritual integration.

  • Deep nervous-system rest.

  • Enhanced body awareness and health.

  • Emotional release and improved capacity for love.

Heart-Based Meditation

TRANSFORMED MY LIFE.

I am more grounded, centered, present, conscious, and even more loving. I can process information better. I'm wiser, and can access my intuition for insight at any moment.

 

I feel as though I have access to an expansive library of knowledge, without the need to memorize or store information in my brain.

 

This is particularly remarkable for someone with ADHD traits!


Research shows that meditation increases the anti aging enzyme telomerase by 30 percent. This vital enzyme combats and even reverses premature cellular aging.
I am proof... I look and FEEL younger in my late fifties than I than I did in my early forties.

People experience:

  • Less stress and anxiety, and more restful sleep. 

  • More bliss, and freedom from suffering.

  • More focus, improved mental clarity, and better decision making.

  • More harmonious relationships and better conflict resolution.


By Practicing Heart-Based Meditation daily…

  • Cravings will shift.

  • Old programs, patterns and behaviors, and feeling stuck or emotionally triggered will shift, creating less reactivity and more inspired energy, emotional stability, and overall wellness. 

  • What if somebody in the group has many personal needs and dominates the discussions and sharing?
    This won’t happen because I have been trained to facilitate the group flow and have a gentle timer visible to all on the zoom screen so the person sharing will gauge their own time! I may also invite that person to a private coaching session with me, for resolve. This will enable them to flow more in harmony with the group process the following weeks.
  • What if I need guidance but don’t want to share or discuss a very personal situation?
    I will meet with you privately on that personal situation.
  • What if I prefer not to share?
    Wonderful! This is your experience and sharing is not a requirement! We also use the chat option on zoom, which feels less vulnerable. And you can always send a private chat to me, and I can address your question/concern in a generic way. Some people LOVE to share, and others don’t so this creates a perfect balance. Meanwhile you benefit from the profound sharing of other group members. And you never know … you just might get so inspired by your personal breakthrough that you just want to shout that out! But again, sharing is not a requirement. Sample a free Group Coaching Session and experience how 'individual' you get to be in the safety of an organized group of compassionate soul-aligned Spirit beings! Holistic Coaching is about the mind shifting & energy alignment SOUL-lution verses staying in the problem.
  • What is ENERGY coaching?
    We all know that vital energy comes from healthy nutrition and sleep. But there is also an inner reservoir of energy available within. Have you ever fallen in love? You can do almost anything with that energy! Imagine making a magical potion of “love energy” or bottling up ON FIRE “inspired energy” to drink anytime you need to be uplifted! Each SOUL-listic Group Coaching session includes Guided Energy Coaching to help you to access your subtle inner reservoir of potent healing and INSPIRED energy making it easy to take action.

I intuitively channel guided visualizations and somatic (inner body) explorations,  propelled by breath, as a grounding preparation to settle the mind, shake off stress, and make it easier to sit for Heart Based Meditation (HBM).

 

HBM is an effortless, silent meditation practice that transcends thoughts via subtle mantra to quickly access a different state of consciousness. It's a practice in which thoughts are allowed and necessary, to release and purify the nervous system of a lifetime(s) of stress lodged in the cellular memory.

 

But experiencing so many thoughts, and NOT trying so hard, and just “letting go” can be difficult for many who have been programmed to be action- and goal-oriented. 

 

Combining guided visualizations and heart centering, with heart-based transcendent meditation, helps busy minds or taxed nervous systems  stay the course; keep an eye on the prize of better wellbeing and quality of life.

 

We meditate to get better at life -not better at meditation!

 

Thinking is an involuntary action of the mind, just like how the heart involuntarily pumps blood and sounds a heartbeat. Therefore, it is impossible to suppress thoughts during meditation, just like it is impossible to suppress dreams during REM sleep, which we know is just the nervous system

releasing stress.

 

A meditation ridden with thoughts is just the nervous system releasing stress. But this can be frustrating and uncomfortable; and feels like a monkey mind jumping all over the place as the mind and body begin to detoxify during the silence of HBM. 

 

Including some guided visualization meditation, especially early on, can solidify a daily

meditation practice.  The weekly live Meditation Group is for ALL levels of meditation. 

​

Meditation w/Training Wheels
Meditating Together

Guided meditation is a soothing narrated visualization that falls in the category of mindfulness, as it is a directed, focused meditation designed to keep the mind from drifting all over the place. It brings immediate solace into the present, and is meant to release current daily stress. Guided meditation is often called guided contemplation, immersive meditation, or somatic explorations, and can include guided body scans (like the practice of Yoga Nidra) to soften and bring awareness into the body and out of the head. 
 

Guided meditation is like having a driving teacher to support and help build confidence and skills before you go at it alone. While driving mistakes might seem more dangerous, the mistake of NOT meditating is detrimental, even dangerous, to life.

 

Living without meditation is like someone who is vision-impaired driving without glasses. 

 

I offer mindfulness guided visualization with intermittent silence as 'Meditation w/Training Wheels,' to help the beginner – or the monkey mind – to stay the course.

 

Like anything, you have to do it first to get results. We work before we get paid!  And like my meditation Teacher Dr. Paul Duglis often says, “Don’t believe anything I say, experience it for yourself!“
