Awakening Your Spirit Guide: 27- Minute Guided Meditation

Hello Spiritual Warrior, Let’s dive deep with this meditation. It’s the perfect time of year to both reflect and look ahead…so let’s do that through the lens of inviting our spirit guide to join us in this journey of our life. Make sure to feather your nest and settle in for a beautiful guided meditative journey. I’ll invite you to find a trait, or a universal characteristic within you that you’d like to be able to call on. Something that is already there, yet sitting dormant within you.  For example, maybe you could use some more: Strength InsightComfortAbundance Power Surrender  Get still and allow your trait or characteristic to reveal itself to you. And know that there is a being out there who specializes in what you need to be revealed. It’s already within you.  So let’s go on a journey to find your spirit guide. We’ll be visualizing ourselves getting onto a boat and gliding out onto a lake for a journey of the soul – this will be a magical journey where we end up flying high above everything and then landing on a mountain top, as we get closer to connecting with our spirit guide. This is a healing guided practice that will allow you to know that you are a divine being, held in the palm of a universe of love. Feather your nest, and settle in for a beautiful meditative journey. The mantra we will use is the name that you gave to your spirit guide on this meditation of discovery. No matter where you are in the world, I’m honored to be able to join you in the gap. Allow the peaceful energy of this season to envelop you and remind you of the beauty that resides in being alive, here and now. With love from davidji

Life Tools- 5 Ways to Remove Obstacles and Release Suffering

Hello, Spiritual Warrior! I’m so glad that you are here. Today we are going to discuss the five ways that we create suffering – these are known as the Kleshas, or five obstacles / five poisons. And by knowing what causes suffering, we have the key to unlock the thoughts and behavior patterns that create the suffering in the first place! Let’s start with the first Klesha – The Ego. The ego exists because we have separated from our true, divine essence – the spirit within that is eternal. When we remember that separation is an illusion, we can get a sense of the bigger picture of life and loosen the reins on our egoic image. I love to use the mantra Aham Brahmasmi – I’m One With the Universe – to remind myself of my divinity. Next up we have Confusing Permanence and Impermanence. If we can remember that spirit is the only thing that is truly permanent in this world, it frees us to remember that nothing ever truly dies. Einstein’s quote that “energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed” is a wonderful reminder that there is an evolution to everything seen and experienced here on earth, and that there is an eternal backdrop behind it all. I like to use the mantra Ayam Atma Brahman – which means my soul and the universal spirit are the same thing. The next two obstacles work hand-in-hand with one another – Attachment and Aversion. When we get attached to things, we get scared about losing them. And yet we must remember that change is the only constant in life. And the opposite side of this is aversion, which is when we deny the things we don’t want. Yet if we allow ourselves to lean into the things that cause us discomfort or that create fear for us, it loosens its grip and ends up having less power over us.  And the final cause of our suffering? Fear of Death. Everything distills down to this – I give some good examples of this in the video. And finally, I’d like to remind you to look at the good in all things – so I invite you to bring to mind FIVE THINGS that you are GRATEFUL for RIGHT NOW. Life is so wonderful when we choose to look at the gifts that it brings us versus focusing on our suffering. I wish you peace, joy and love today and always. -davidji

Fill what is Empty, Empty what is Full- 10 Minute Guided Meditation

Hey there Spiritual Warrior For this meditation, you will need to have a pen and paper handy.  I’ll be asking you a series of rapidfire questions – for you to hone in on a sense of gratitude and awe about all that you have experienced thus far in your life. Here’s a few of them: What am I grateful for? What have I been given in this life? What lessons have I learned? Whose heart have I touched? Whose life have I added to value, and who has added value to mine? What have I done to add value to the world?  And then get ready to write down the answers to these powerful questions. We know at our core that we are the universe, pregnant with possibilities, and abundance is our true state of existence. And when we reflect on the gifts we’ve received, we see the amazing opportunities we have had in our lives.  When you are feeling abundant – that is the moment to share. When you are feeling a lack of something – realize that more than likely, you are losing sight of your universality.  I hope that this meditative writing exercise helps remind you that YOU are a limitless vessel – and may you continue transforming into the most abundant version of yourself.  Thank you for taking the time to meditate with me today. With love from davidji

The Wise Old Man and the Precious Stone

Dear Spiritual Warrior, We can all learn so much from this parable about The Wise Old Man and the Precious Stone.  It is so easy in our culture to get consumed with the material world – wanting more, and more, and more. And it seems that the more we have, the more we need – which becomes a never-ending spiral of constantly consuming more “stuff.” This parable is a beautiful reminder to us all, about what truly makes a person wealthy.  Is it the material things that we so often seek as a validation of our success? Or is it the qualities within us – our generosity, our ability to see another and meet their needs, our love for each other – that really make us rich? Even though our society tells us it’s the former, our soul’s evolution is calling out for the latter. Go out of your way today to do something generous for another person, and then see how your kindness reverberates back to you.  Be the change that you wish to see, and let your love, generosity and caring spirit lead the way. Sending you love from the Sweetspot of the Universe, davidji

An Attitude of Gratitude: 16-Minute Guided Meditation

Hello there, Spiritual Warrior!  I love this quote by author Melody Beattie:  Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.  Let’s take the energy of those words into this meditation. Let’s explore the five steps to creating an Attitude of Gratitude: 1 – Taking Stock – essentially, counting our blessings2 – Practicing Acts of Kindness3 – Practicing Positivity – thoughts, words, actions4 – Awakening Forgiveness 5 – Celebrating the Blessings / Savoring Life’s Joys As we dive deeper into this meditation, we’ll journey through the Five Realms. Identify one thing in each of the five realms that you are grateful for: Physical Realm – what are you grateful for in your physical body? Emotional Realm – what am I grateful for within my emotional realm?Material Realm – what am I grateful for in the material realm? Relationship Realm – what am I grateful for in my relationships?Spiritual Realm – what am I grateful for in my spiritual realm? As we move through this meditation, allow all of this gratitude to sweep through you, bathing your mind and filling your heart. Embody this feeling of gratitude and bask in it.  Those of us in the U.S. will be taking time to find gratitude next week during our Thanksgiving holiday – but gratitude isn’t limited to particular holidays or times of the year. A gratitude practice is always available to us in each and every moment of our lives. This week is just a reminder of the power of this practice.  Thank you for taking the time to meditate with me. I am grateful for YOU! With love, davidji & Peaches the Buddha Princess

Cosmic Awareness: 18-Minute Guided Meditation

Cosmic Awareness

Hello, Spiritual Warrior!

Let’s dive deep into a meditation on Cosmic Awareness. For this meditation, I invite you to lie down so that you can find that space of complete surrender, as we connect with the divine universe.

We’ll start with a body scan, and then move into that space where our flesh ends and the rest of the world begins. And we’ll feel the sensations and vibrations that are emanating from within: the beating of your heart, the flowing of your blood, the moving of the breath in and out. Merge into this space so fully that you feel the universe breathing you. 

Feel the peace that comes with this union – knowing that you are one with the universe. Feel your body soften, the mind surrender, and the soul flowing in and out of you, just like the breath flows in and out. The soul merging with existence.

It’s a beautiful and gentle interplay – a dance between the universe and your soul.

As we melt into this meditation, we’ll use the chakra vibrations OM RAM HAM.

Remember that the whole universe is resting inside of you at any given moment. And keep this divine connection, awakening the light that is within you, merging with the universe with each and every moment. 

From my cosmic heart to yours – with love from davidji

The Secrets of the Sweetspot

Hello Spiritual Warrior – and welcome to September!

The Five Secrets of the Sweetspot is a topic that I cover in my book Secrets of Meditation. My post-meditation ritual includes me drifting my awareness to five personal expressions of the universe that I would like more of in my life:

Patience

Acceptance

Defenselessness

Compassion

Abundance

I repeat each one over and over for about a minute and then drift to the next. Each of these expressions also provides the perfect closure to my morning meditation practice and helps me to evolve my transition into my time off of the meditation cushion. In this meditation, I guide you through my process before we dive into the mantra om yam ritam. Om is the vibration that heralds our oneness with all of existence, yam is the vibration of the heart chakra, and ritam is the rhythm of the universe. By silently repeating this mantra as we meditate, we can awaken our hearts into these five secrets of the sweetspot. 

As always, thank you for joining me in the ever-loving gap. Namaste

Transform Your Mornings: The Impact of Daily Meditation

Life Tools: Why Meditating Every Day Matters Hey there, Spiritual Warrior! In this Life Tools, we are discussing Procrastination – which can be so easy to do when it comes to our meditation practice! If we don’t meditate first thing in the morning, it’s nearly impossible to not get distracted with our morning routine and preparation for our day.  Science has confirmed that what we do in the first 30 minutes of our day determines how we reflect on our day at the end of it – and if we expose ourselves to positivity in those first 30 minutes, we are 20% more likely to say we had a good day at the end of the day, no matter what happened during our day! That’s quite a large percentage if you think about it. But how do we make sure that we meditate first thing? We need to ritualize it. Simple willpower won’t get you there. Think of the first ten things you do every morning – brushing your teeth, letting the dog out, taking a shower, etc. If we can take our meditation practice and move it to the very front of our day by either meditating in bed (Beditating), or doing RPM (Rise, Pee, Meditate!), then it becomes a part of our daily routine without much effort. And once we get into the habit of it, before you know it, it becomes something that we can’t live without. And as we know, meditation makes everything better, so your life becomes better as a result. I’ve shared a morning meditation you can do first thing in the morning – a Beditation! Scroll down and enjoy. With love from davidji & Peaches the Buddha Princess

Softening into Oneness Welcome to Beditation – meditation we can do in bed! 

This guided meditation is a beautiful, calming way to enter into your morning – stay in bed for a listen before you rise. In this meditation, we simply settle into the flow of quiet, continuous breathing. Infusing peace into your body, mind and spirit before you even rise out of bed in the morning will no doubt create a beautiful start to your day. 

Thank you for joining me in the ever-loving gap. Namaste

REBIRTH:The Principle of Renewal and Growth

Life Tools -The Divine Principle of Rebirth Hello, Spiritual Warrior!

We are now almost halfway through our year, and what better time than now to let go of the things that are no longer working, and embrace the concept of REBIRTH?

We are beings of second chances. And we all go through situations where we wish we could hit the rewind button and change an interaction or situation. And yet there is no way to go back and change the past, all we can do is move forward. 

In this video I give you the example of Thomas Edison – who is said to have failed tens of thousands of times as he was working to perfect the creation of the lightbulb. If he had bought into thinking he was a failure, he would have never kept going and brought us – literally – the light he ended up sharing with the world. 

Let’s practice this with the mantra ‘Today I begin again’ – and whatever it is that you are going through, whatever hurdle you are trying to conquer, whatever relationship you might be trying to navigate – keep telling yourself this in your mind and heart. Today I begin again.
