Inspire Nation Show with Michael Sandler

Today we have an exceptionally simple yet all-powerful meditation designed to help you relax and bring more love into your life. This meditation goes great with today’s guest, Dr. Sue Johnson, one of the world’s leading authorities on love, romance, and happy couples. You can do this meditation anytime of the day, and I recommend doing it as much as you possibly can. This has been a very powerful healing meditation and mantra in my life, particularly whenever the going has been tough. For I haven’t always been the positive guy you see here, and I needed a lot of rewiring work myself. And this meditation, is all about positive rewiring! If you like this meditation, please do us a HUGE favor, and share your love, by rating and reviewing our show on iTunes. It’s the #1 way to help us, and to help more people to find the show. Thank YOU so much. And to listen to Dr. Sue Johnson’s interview, or more meditations by me or our guests, visit our inspire nation show or InspireNationShow.com. I send love. I send light. And many, many blessings your way. Namaste. Okay, this is perhaps the simplest meditation I’ll be leading so far, but it’s also quite likely the most powerful. For this is the one where it all begins. To bring more love into our lives, we need to love ourselves more first. This requires burning new messages into our minds, or pressing new grooves into the record that plays over and over again in our heads. Unless you’ve ascended, chances are there are still some negative messages rolling around like marbles. I know for myself, I had a TON of them, and like you still have some to work on myself. But where it all begins is self love. When we truly love ourselves, we can love another, we attract more love into our lives, and attract incredible positive experiences and outcomes. It all comes from the love. So today we’ll be burning a new self-love record. We’ll be repeating a very simple self-love mantra over and over again. Now you don’t need to believe what you’re saying, in order for positive benefits to take place. Let me repeat that. You don’t have to believe it. Just keep repeating the mantra. It’ll raise your energy levels, raise your vibrations, and over time, you can’t help but begin to believe it! I recommend doing this every day for at least a month. Commit to it for yourself. Wake up, roll over, and practice 3 to 5 minutes of this I Love Myself Meditation. So how do you do it? Well, I’ll have you repeat along with me, the simple words I Love Myself. At the same time, you’ll breath nice and slow as your right hand massages your chest in a circular motion clockwise (up inside, down outside) on your chest, or tapping your chest right above the heart with your first and second finger. It’ super-simple, looks pretty silly, and amazingly effective. I swear by it, and it’s dramatically helped me rewrite some toxic wiring in my mind... Incredibly Powerful Relaxation & Self-Love Guided Meditation Designed to Help Rewire the Mind for Positivity, Love, Happiness & Courage! This One is a Life-Changer!!!

You can do this meditation anytime of the day, and virtually anywhere, it helps promote greater concentration, boosts your energy levels, and at the same quiets the mind.

To summarize, you’ll breath in for a count of four, hold for a count of seven, and release for a count of 8. Then you’ll repeat. Like I said, it’s super, super simple. Yet surprisingly effective...

Did you ever wish you could talk with God, that you could ask questions, and have your queries answered! Then if so, do we have the show for you! No, today we’re not going to be talking with God, but boy would that be a show. We are however, going to be talking with Beth Banning, best-selling author of Interviewed by God: A Journey to Freedom. We’ll talk about communicating with God, or how to turn inwards, and listen to our own inner wisdom. And we’ll talk about the incredible inspiration and freedom one can find, by taking a journey on the inside. Of course, we’ll also talk about turtles, crows, kundalini rising, and what in the world Pizza Chicken and unicorns have to do with enlightenment! Beth Banning Show Notes What do Unicorns and Synchronicities Have in Common? Did you have a close encounter with a dolphin? What was life like before you had an inner knowing? Everything we’re seeking is right here within What is this underlying tension that’s got us in knots? The importance of being willing to be uncomfortable Emotions are like the weather – they come and they go It just moves when we feel it – doesn’t stagnate or push buttons Buttons are just stagnant trapped energy Awareness of Freedom channels (body, mind, spirit) Are access points We are all looking for internal guidance The party is never in the cave Process of Active Imagination – Neale Donald Walsch does this – simple, beautiful process of communicating with your higher knowing. If it’s a negative thought, that’s not God or the Higher Knowing Voice Started writing book – “send me someone to interview me…” There’s nothing to learn, just being aware of what’s always already been there How do you help people to cultivate their own awareness? There’s no such thing as a right foot in front of you, just keep going Spiritual myth: guidance will give me an end-result or the guidance isn’t working Know that you can’t know in the moment the value of the step you’ve just taken Marshal Rosenberg’s work – Non Violent Communication (NVC) What to do when your mind goes nuts Do values exercise Use discomfort as an alarm to wake you up What can I do right now to feel more peaceful, or help a person with me to feel more peaceful Everything you need, every question you have, it is all within you.

Today we have a very simple, relaxing mindfulness meditation to help you clear your mind and drop your thoughts. You can do this meditation almost any time of the day and for any length of time. You can do it at your desk, walking, laying down, almost anything, though I wouldn’t recommend doing it while driving or operating heavy machinery. This meditation goes well with today’s guest, Beth Banning, talking about connecting to your higher self or your inner wisdom. To check out her interview, or hear more meditations from me or our guests, visit our inspire nation show or inspirenationshow.com. And if you like this meditation, please do us a mondo-big favor and please rate and review our show on iTunes. It’s the #1 way to show your support and help people to find the show. Thank you so much! I send love. I send light. And many, many blessings your way. This is a super-simple four count meditation. It doesn’t get much simpler than this. Of course, in its simplicity lies it’s beauty. All you’re going to do is inhale for a count of four, hold for a count of four, exhale for a count of four, and hold for a count of four. Of course, I always want you to inhale in and out through the nose, which has great health benefits, and dramatically helps relax the body. Rather than trying to quiet the mind, try to just keep focusing on the breath. If a thought comes up, and it will, notice you’re thinking, then go right back to your breath. It’s like you’re out on a date, someone may stop by to say hi, but you’ve got you’re date, so you probably won’t invite them to the table. Now I don’t want you to be rude, but if a thought comes up, you don’t have to it to the table either, simply go back to your date, which in this case is your breath. Alright, are you ready to begin? I’ll give you the count, and we’ll just go for a few short minutes. Of course, feel free to continue after I stop, for as long as you’d like. The more you do this, the easier it gets, the more you’re pressing new grooves into the record of your mind, and the more relaxed, and resilient your mind becomes...

Okay, this is a meditation or exercise I use quite frequently, especially over recent days as I’m doing some pretty fun rewiring of my mind, and I’m going to have you do it at first, slightly different from how I’m doing it. The goal of this meditation is to help you catch repeated thoughts before they start creating an endless loop in your mind. Ideally we get to learn how to drop all thoughts, but it’s the repeated offenders that get us the most. It’s said we have 60,000 thoughts a day, and that 90 some-odd percent of those are the same thoughts over and over again. So those are the thoughts we’re going after… A Beautiful, Relaxing, Mindfulness Meditation To Help Rewire Your Mind to Quickly Catch & Release Repeated Thoughts & Let them Go to Quiet Your Mind | Inspire | Inspiration | Motivation | Inner-Peace | Spirituality | Relaxation | Happiness | Self-Help
