Dharana: Focusing on What Truly Matters
MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
Recently, I was planning my dream retreat in Italy when something felt…off. My mind was buzzing with excitement, but my heart kept whispering: Conserve your energy. Focus on what you came here to do. It wasn’t easy to let go of the planning and ideas swirling in my head. It was like a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the next. I kept second guessing my inner wisdom and answers. Those old failiar sabotaging patterns are hard to beat, aren't they?! But when I paused and connected with my higher self (for the fourth time), the answer became crystal clear: My soul’s calling right...

info_outlineHi there,
Can you believe it? We’ve made it to the 200th episode of the Mindful Pause podcast!
💗 My heart is overflowing with gratitude. As we wrap up Season 2 for the summer, I wanted to leave you with a powerful meditation to help you connect with your heart and intuition.
Life can be so hectic, right?
It's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of Life and ignore that quiet nudge from within.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed or confused, only to realize later that your heart was trying to tell you something all along?
This episode is all about tuning into that inner voice.
In this special meditation, we’ll drop into the heart, the seat of our consciousness, to uncover the truth within us. By gently closing your eyes and breathing slowly and deeply, you'll place your awareness on your heart.
The Sanskrit word for heart, "hrydaya," embodies the essence of receiving, moving, and giving – essential qualities that connect us deeply to ourselves and to others.
This heart-centered practice will guide you home to yourself, helping you set a clear, compassionate, and present mindset each day, and connect you to your divine intuition and inner wisdom.
CLICK HERE to listen to the meditation and start your journey of heart-centered living.
While I take a little break from emails to finish the final draft of my book,
stay tuned for exciting updates!
