Aloha Beloveds!
Today’s practice, requested by a listener, (Thank you Andi!) is a Yoga Nidra practice, a deeply restorative technique that begins approximately 17 minutes in.
Yoga Nidra, often referred to as "yogic sleep," offers a profound journey inward, allowing practitioners to access deeper layers of consciousness beyond the chatter of the mind. In the practice of Yoga Nidra, participants are guided into a state of deep relaxation, where they remain fully conscious yet profoundly relaxed.
As the body settles into a state of ease, the mind begins to quieten, paving the way for a profound exploration of the self. Through gentle guidance, practitioners are invited to cultivate awareness of various sensations, emotions, and thought patterns that arise within their inner landscape.
This heightened awareness serves as a catalyst for self-inquiry and introspection, enabling individuals to explore the layers of conditioning and societal expectations that may veil their true essence. By gently peeling away these layers, Yoga Nidra allows practitioners to reconnect with the core of their being—their authentic self.
In this state of deep relaxation and heightened awareness, individuals can transcend the limitations of the ego and tap into their innate wisdom and intuition. It's in this sacred space of inner knowing that one can rediscover their inherent worth, wisdom, and wholeness.
Ultimately, Yoga Nidra serves as a powerful tool for self-discovery and self-realization, offering a pathway for individuals to return to the truth of who they are—beyond the roles they play, the masks they wear, and the stories they tell themselves. Through regular practice, practitioners can cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness, acceptance, and inner peace, allowing them to navigate life from a place of authenticity and alignment with their true essence.
Tune in and join us as we navigate the depths of the human experience, one breath at a time. I welcome questions, requests and feedback.

Hello and welcome to "Peaceful by Nature." I'm your host, Sage Simpson, and today I'm thrilled to present a deeply personal and insightful conversation with the wonderful Joy Clarissa Taylor. This is a genuine, vulnerable exploration into the realms of grief, femininity, feelings, releasing the grip of over-exercise and under-eating, embodiment, and the profound ways in which awakening happens within and through our bodies.
In this episode, Joy and I delve into the complex terrain of grief, sharing our own stories and experiences with an openness that allows for genuine connection. It's a candid conversation that acknowledges the messiness of life and the beauty found within those moments of vulnerability.
Our journeys have been profoundly transformed by yoga, and we take a moment to share the impact it has had on our lives. From the physical practice to the spiritual and emotional dimensions, we discuss how yoga has become a transformative force.
The concept of embodiment takes center stage in our conversation, and that awakening is in and through the physicality of our being. It's a perspective that encourages a deeper connection with ourselves and a more conscious presence in our daily lives.
We are so excited to invite you to our series of in-home retreats in 2024, Soul Care Sundays. We are providing a supportive community for self-discovery the 3rd Sunday, every other month, Beginning Jan 21st, 2024.

Join us for this rich and meaningful conversation that aims to inspire introspection, connection, and growth. Thank you for being part of the "Peaceful by Nature" community.

This podcast lays out the Koshas, the layers of self, as a template for self-care.
These are the Koshas:
Annamaya
The annamaya kosha is the physical sheath that composes the outer layer. It’s sometimes referred to as the food sheath.
Your body weight or size can reflect your physical sheath, as well as any physical ailments or concerns you have. You can also pay attention to how your body reacts to different types of food.
The pranamaya kosha is the vital energy, breath, or life force sheath. In Sanskrit, the word “prana” refers to life force and is the word for breath.
Awareness of this kosha allows you to move stagnant energy, so you can experience greater vitality and an energetic connection to yourself, others, and nature.
The manomaya kosha is contained within the annamaya and pranamaya koshas. It acts as a messenger, bringing experiences and sensations from the outer world into your intuitive body.
This is the mental sheath that represents your:
- mind
- emotions
- inner world
This layer includes thought forms, mental activity, and awareness of thoughts. Getting in touch with this kosha involves looking at your perceptions and mental patterns.
The vijnanamaya kosha is the astral or psychic body that’s your seat of intuition.
Known as the awareness or wisdom sheath, it allows you to develop a deeper awareness and to see reality for what it is. Thought of as “the mind beyond the mind,” this kosha is connected to your deeper and more subtle layers of thoughts.
The vijnanamaya kosha helps develop clarity and inner reflection as you learn to detach from your thoughts, ego, or sense of self. By remaining the witness, you may learn to become more present and aware of each moment.
The anandamaya kosha is referred to as the bliss body. It’s the deepest and subtlest of all layers — so much so that some people even say you can’t use words to describe it. Instead, it must be felt and experienced.
Developing your anandamaya kosha requires the discipline to complete inner work and spiritual practices over a long period.
This level of consciousness relates to the essence of your true self or nature, which is perfection.
Transcending all five sheaths can lead to a state of samadhi, or unity between individual and universal consciousness. This is said to be pure bliss or joy.
While you may not reach samadhi, you may experience glimpses or moments of bliss that are bright enough to color your world and awaken these feelings of joy, even if only for brief moments.
For this new moon I encourage you to reflect on each layer of the self and set the intention of caring for each in alignment with the cycles of nature, with fall, letting go, softening and surrender.

~ Podcast with College Essay Guy, How to create Morning Ritual
~ Clarity, Women's Retreat in Mt.Shasta
Join a sanctuary of sisterhood at the base of sacred Mt. Shasta for two days of relaxation, exploration, and renewal. Walk barefoot in the pines, sing around the fire, swim in alpine lakes, eat nourishing meals, go to bed and wake up with the sun, rest when you are tired, and dance when you desire.
Through an exploration of intimacy and your sacred sexuality. In Circle, we will uncover unconscious patterns and internalized systems of oppression, patriarchy, and other power dynamics, and realize our responsibility and power to alchemize them. Each woman will be guided and witnessed as she unearths, unburdens, and experiences liberation from thoughts, patterns, and behaviors that are incongruent with her fullest intimate expression. We encourage and support sacred soulful sharing, which leads to deep vulnerability and intimacy, creating the opportunity to bring this level of intimacy into relationships with self, others, and the Divine.

Podcast May New Moon:
Aloha Beloveds! It’s a NEW MOON in taurus and the first of my 40th orbit around the sun! This is JUST the BREATHING PRACTICE for you this New Moon. This practice will reset your nervous system and clear the clutter in the mind, so that you can return and reside in the divine essence of who you are in your natural being mode, rather than your doing or having mode.
In the FULL EPISODE for first part of the podcast I briefly explain and explore:
~ Human Being vs. Human Doing
~ The Being mode vs. The Having mode: What the difference is, and why cannot meet our Being Needs through the Having Mode, and why it will lead to suffering
~ The Kleshas, or impurities that keep the mind from wakefulness and clear awareness.
Breath, movement, journaling, time in nature, quiet, ritual, meditation, all of these practices clear away the false self and return us to our natural state of Co-Creativity and Peace.
You are creating your reality. The level of your consciousness is where you are creating from. If you are vibrating in the frequency of fear, judgment, shame, restlessness, hoarding or needy-ness, you will manifest things in your world that reflect this back to you. If you are creating from a space of I create because I CAN! And I Choose to, you align with the divine flow of the cosmos, with the Dharma.
I share on this podcast the practices that have transformed my life, upleveled my awareness, and aligned me with the creativity, pleasure and joy that is our birthright.
You deserve to, and you CAN, live in alignment with EASE, PURPOSE and JOY.
This 10 min Breathing Practice can change your life if you dedicate 10 min a day to this practice.
Another practice, that I speak about a lot, is writing.
Being a part of a writers circle TRANSFORMED my life. Through the sacred practice of writing and then being witnessed as I shared the full truth- I continue to liberate more of my authentic expression. Join Joy and I in The Creators Circle so you can Liberate your Authentic Voice, Tap into the Create Genius that wants to flow through you, and be healed and witnessed by heart-centered divine Sisters who are on the path.
We are offering a few first come-first serve SCHOLARSHIPS for 30% or 50% off the Creators Circle.
PLEASE click THIS link to fill out the short application: (All the way at the bottom of the page)
We begin June 8th! Space & Scholarships are limited, so claim your space in the circle this NEW MOON and set the intention to bring forth the writing, the book, the poems, the stories, the essays, the full expression that is within you.

If you are on Maui this summer, I am thrilled to announce I will be co-facilitating TANTRA & TEA: Sacred Sexuality Summer Workshop Series
All the info is on my Website Here: https://wildsacredcollective.com/registration/tantra
Join Sage and Jeannette for a summer workshop series in Olinda. Our intention is to demystify Sacred Sexuality, Chakras, and Sex Magik, so you can remember and realize the pleasure, peace and radiance that is your birthright.
Through our sexuality and intimacy with life, we each have incredible power to connect with the divinity within and all around us. In connection with one another, held in a sacred loving circle, we can heal the pain, trauma, and stories that are held in the body and heal in communion with one another, nature and source energy.
Each workshop will be dedicated to clearing and balancing one Chakra. Starting with the Root, awakening Kundalini, and raising this potent healing energy through each Chakra. During each session, the group will be guided through practices in a safe and non-judgmental container.

Aloha Beloveds!
Wow- what a wonderful Full Moon Conversation with my dear friend, mentor and Co Creator Joy Clarissa Taylor. You will love how honest, relatable and wise Joy is. She walks the talk and does her homework. What an inspiration. I left this conversation feeling grounded, uplifted, and deeply grateful we are friends and co-facilitators. Joy and I will be co-leading the Creators Circle, an online writing circle for women, which begins May 25th, as well as Clarity, a Women’s Retreat in Mt. Shasta August 3-6, 2023.
Joy and I had such a delightful, deep, juicy, honest and raw conversation.
We dive into:
Feelings and emotions, what they are teaching us
What keeps us from speaking and expressing authentically
How patriarchy, acting/ the 'industry,' and marriage has kept me from my authentic expression
What writing has brought into our lives on a personal level
How our relationships have changed since we started speaking and expressing authentically
Aligning our lives with our highest Values and service
Where our growth edges, or softenings, are in our lives.
I get pretty vulnerable about my relationship with my beloved Andy, my dad, my mom, and my past sexual trauma and eating disorder. I want to reiterate that anything I say about them is in absolute LOVE. I am not a victim and everything I share is from my perspective, which is not the full truth.
At the end Joy shares a poem she wrote for her upcoming book. ( ~ wow ~ )
And I get really spontaneous and share some very un-edited journal writing (as Joy said, it is not the best or the polished).
I will be sharing more of my writing here on the podcast, as well as on my blog at wildsacedcollective.com. And of course you will be hearing a lot more honest and raw creations if you decided to join the Creators Circle.
Since you are a listener of the podcast you get 10% off! When you sign up use promo code: SAGE10 for 10% off, the price of the circle, or if you decide to join us in Mt. Shasta for our Clarity Retreat, you can get 10% off the bundle. That’s the best financial, mental, physical and spiritual deal.
Do you have questions for the podcast? People you want to hear me in conversation with? Topics you would like me to dive into? Just want to say aloha? Please reach out on Instagram @wildsacredsage or email wildsacredsage@gmail.com

Aloha loves! Here is just the medtation aligning your Heart~Mind with the 7 Factors of Enlightenment. The intention in this practice is to recognize that The Factors of Enlightenment are already inside us all. We do not need to go out and 'get' Enlightenment. An enlightened Heart~Mind is our natural state, non-reactive and at peace. We become what we practice, and so in this meditation we practice the 7 Factors of Enlightenment.
This New Moon Intention setting practice is a powerful and simple one. You are planting the seeds of good Karma-- through honest reflection and aligning with the part of you that is Loving, Kind and Wise. Once we align with this Awakened Heart~Mind, our actions in the world will reflect these intentions. With this meditation you are aligning with Being the Change, and co-creating Peace on Earth.
I begin the practice with the Bodhicitta Prayer:
With a wish to free all beings.
I shall always go for refuge: To the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha,
Until I reach full enlightenment.
Enthused by wisdom and compassion,
today in the Buddhas' presence.
I generate the Heart~Mind for Full Awakening.
For the benefit of all sentient beings.
JOIN ME for the New Circle I am offering with my dear friend Joy Clarissa Taylor! HERE is all the info about the circle, and where you can register!
Please reachout with questions about the Creators Circle. And tell me: How did this practice go? What did you learn when you journaled on the 5 Hinderences? I would also love to hear: What do you want to hear on the podcast? Send along your desires and questions.

Today's peace practice is a conversation between my husband, Andy, and I answering a friend's question about navigating relationships. Rather than wait till the new moon to release a full episode, I wanted to release this one in preparation for the time you may be spending with family or friends during this final breath of 2022. I hope these 13 guidelines and the other tools we share can be of value. Please reach out and let me know what resonates or if you have questions for future episodes.
More about 21 Days of Peace:
As we enter December, many of you are traveling or will have visitors from the past. These may be family members you are traveling to see, many of you will be spending time with your family of origin. Moms, dad, siblings, grandparents, and caregivers. You will be with spouses, partners, children, and children. Each relationship, each interaction, offers you opportunities to learn. Don’t be asleep or go into auto tune-out mode. Return to your body, your breath, to nature, and your true nature. Return to Peace, reflect from Love, and act in alignment with Truth.
Or you won't be physically with a lot of people, but you will not be alone. This time of the year will bring you into communion with people from your past, or your imagined/ visioned future. All of these are ripe with opportunities for experiential learning.
You can alchemize, transform, any experience into one that brings you greater Peace. From this foundation of peace, all of lifes' experiences can be fully felt, in an unattached way, from the space of unconditionally loving, in flow and joy.
These 2-10 min practices include Seated and Standing Meditation, Contemplation, Creative Expression, Visualization, Conversation and Circle, and Rituals for your Winter Solstice Season

Today’s peace practice is to Make a Plan. As you enter into visiting family, friends, traveling, hosting, or being alone, it’s important to make a plan. Plan when and how you will Devote time every day to return to Truth and Love, to come home to yourself. You will be able to navigate relationships and all that arises at the end of the year if you intentionally come back home to your Values everyday.
I would love to know from you, Why do you devote time to your spiritual well being? Your physical wellbeing? Your mental wellbeing? Let me know @wildsacredsage on IG or wildsacredsage@gmail.com

Today’s practice is a visualization that gives you an opportunity to reflect on your life and what you are currently navigating. You may know that there is something big in your life that is in transition or change and you need to take time to reflect in stillness and silence, but YOU have to be the one to make it happen. Sometimes we don’t even know that there is something we’ve been lugging around and need to emotionally process until we give ourselves the space to reflect. Pause this recording at anytime. I recommend journaling after this practice.

Today’s Peace Practice is to Do Less. Don’t paddle harder than you need to. Question why you are doing things. Listen, watch, and don’t hurry from task to task. See what can be left not done? Un said? And still everything is OK. Rest. Do Less.

Today’s peace practice is a game! Called, “Light me up!” the Chakra Color Association game. The Holiday decorations you see can be a reminder to tune into yourself. This podcast goes through each Chakra meaning, color and gives you a mantra to associate with the colors when you see them in the world. Take this game anywhere you go, and invite others you are with to play along!

Today's peace practice is the cultivation of Intentional Solitude. There are many reasons to make intentional solitude the core of your spiritual practice. You cannot tune into your True Self and listen to the Truth if you are constantly around others or distracted by social media, activity, or numbing your feelings. Solitude gives us the opportunity to reflect, contemplate, and tune into what we need. It’s the space to feel feelings that need privacy. It is where you can listen to what you need and what will truly nourish you. It is when you will hear the callings of your soul and desires of your body. Solitude is where you welcome all parts of you back home. Where you make amends and repair the relationship with your being, your body, your heart, your soul. It is when and where you can listen to nature and tune into the rhythm of the Earth.
So often we end up hurting ourselves or others because we don’t have solitude built into our daily rhythms. Even if you love those you are with you will burn out if you don’t have the chance to plug back into yourself. It can be really hard because there is a lot of social pressure to be with others around this time of year. Honor, care and respect yourself and need to retreat. You don’t need anyone's permission, and you are not responsible if people take it personally. Your top priority is your health and well being. Be kind and loving to the person you spend the most time with, take time to be just with them.

This is a walking meditation that guides you to shed, layer by layer, the roles that you play. These roles we confuse as our identity, but they are not who you really are. Once you shed the layers of social, cultural and familial conditioning you come home to the truth of who you are. From this place of freedom and love, the roles you play become conscious choices that are of service to those you love and the planet, instead of reactive patterns from the past.
What roles do you play?
What did you realize or notice as you shed these layers?
I encourage you to journal after this practice to integrate your expereince.

Today's peace practice is a Metta, loving kindness meditation. We begin close to home cultivating love, and spread it though the world, remembering our interconnectedness with all life. There is increasing scientific research about the benefits of a Metta practice: including increased self-compassion, decreased stress and anxiety, reduced physical pain, and increased longevity. I love practicing this meditation as part of my Morning Ritual. It is also a wonderful way to re-center during the day if you feel anxious or stressed. It is also a great way to ease the body into peaceful sleep if practiced before bed as part of your evening ritual.
Sending you all love, joy and peace.

This meditation and guided vizualization is best done lying down, perhaps in supta baddha konasana, with hands over the womb, dantian, right below the belly button, in Yoni Mudra. Connecting to this place of creativity you can trust that you will be able to respond to anything that happens in life. Respond-able. Responsible.
You will hear the forest and water around me in this recording. Enjoy!

Today's practice brings awareness and breath to each of the Chakras. Visualize each of the Chakras as they are named, breathing into each one as we rise from Root to Crown. This is a simple and effective practice that will leave you feeling balanced and aligned.

These may be family members you are traveling to see, many of you will be spending time with your family of origin. Moms, dad, siblings, grandparents, and caregivers. You will be with spouses, partners, children, and children. Each relationship, each interaction, offers you opportunities to learn. Don’t be asleep or go into auto tune-out mode. Return to your body, your breath, to nature, and your true nature. Return to Peace, reflect from Love, and act in alignment with Truth.

Day 7
Full Moon Reflection
Today’s Peace Practice is a Full Moon Reflection. It is the Final Full Moon of 2022.
Life is like being on a canoe trip. Life is the river. You are in a canoe with a paddle. Surrender and trust are skills you develop as you learn to go with the flow. But you also have to learn how to skillfully read the river, adjust your weight in the canoe, and use your paddle, so you can enjoy a joyful ride. If you let your canoe just be tossed around, you are going to get wet a lot and spend a lot of time bailing water out of the boat. Of course, you may tip when you get into big water at first. If you reflect on what happened with honesty, you can learn from the mistakes, and practice your paddling, so you are less likely to flip next time.
That is why it's vital to contemplate, reflect honestly on your life on a continual basis.
The full moon is a wonderful time to do this each month, and with this final full moon of 2022- take time to reflect on this year. Set aside a few hours and do a big overview, or you can do these practices over the next week, using your daily journaling time to reflect intentionally over the past year, to celebrate what is wonderful in your life, the epic views you took in, the places you journeyed, and people you adventured with. And to take an honest inventory of the lessons you learned in the white water of life in 2022, so you can be more skillful in 2023. Because white water is inevitable, it's how you respond and play with the big waves that matters.

This practice brings you to your senses, entering the present though each sense, and becoming aware of the moment-to-moment sensations in the body. Our bodies are always present, and always sensing the environment to keep us safe and alive. We are often not aware of what is going on, we are “lost in thought,” tumbling into the mis-remembered past, or tripping into a false imagined future. Usually creating suffering. One portal to the present moment is to come “back to your senses.” The only place life is ACTUALLY happening. And usually it is a space of relative calm and peace. If it is hectic in your enviorment, listening to your body and responding appropiately to keep your self well. If there is no threat to safety or wellbeing in this moment, allow your body to be at peace.

Welcome to Day 3 of our Daily Peace Practice, counting down to the Darkest Day of the Year. This practice is a Walking Meditation, designed to balance your body and breath, and embody the Values or intentions you have for the day. I chose Truth and Love, but you can tune into what you need and adapt this meditation. Practice with the recording, and then once you have it in your body try it on your own.
This is a wonderful practice to share with friends or family you are walking with. Notice how it changes your day if you do this practice in the morning. It will also shift how your evening unfolds if you take time to practice between work and coming home.
More about 21 Days of Peace:
As we enter the darkest time of year and Winter Solstice 2022, we are invited into greater stillness. As it gets darker in the Northern Hemisphere, we naturally are called inward, to reflect and cultivate peace within. This is the time of the North, of death, of hibernation and Bear Medicine. In our culture we do not tend to honor times of death, and want to always be in productive mode. This runs our bodies and spirits ragged. These practices return you to a daily place of stillness and Peace within. Honoring the death of behaviors and ways of living that do not serve us any longer,- obstacles to experiencing and living from a place of Truth and Unconditional Love. They keep us from Joy.
The Alchemy offered though daily practice cannot be put into words. It is something you must experience. You are on a highly individualized life walk, and only you can walk it and take the journey to self realization.

Hello Beloveds,
Welcome to the final exhale of 2022!
This Peace Practice is designed to connect your Heart to your Hands. Everything you do with your hands in the world, can be an extension of your heart, of Love. How you feed yourself, how you care for yourself and others, the work you do, what you type and text, how you drive, how you clean your home, it is all connected to your heart. This is one of the reasons I love journaling and painting, as well as creating things and making things with my hands. Also, you can Alchemize and transform anything you touch or connect to through your hands, by bringing this energy into your heart and the center of Unconditional Love within. Your hands have the capacity to heal and soothe your body through loving touch. This energy is abundant, in and around us, it is not personal or unique. All it takes is awareness to start to feel and consciously direct the flow of energy to create Loving shifts in your world.

Happy Halloween beloveds! This is a Fun size, Bite size bits of the full Oct episode "Find your Purpose, Take a Nap and R.I.P. A Trick, or change in perspective, and a Treat, a nourishing bit of soul food!
“How do I find my purpose?” OR “What is my purpose” be a springboard for your own reflection and re alignment. Your purpose, or task, as Rumi sang “is not to seek for Love, but to seek and find all the Barriers you have built against Love, and embrace them.” The process of Embodying Consciousness naturally unfolds when we:
~ Commit to Daily Practices and Ritual
~Rest
~Feel the sensations in the body, the full pleasure, pain, The 10,000 Joys and Sorrows
~Discern between Trauma and Truth, between Fear and Freedom
~Discern between True and False Refuge
~Heal the past so we can be present
~Listen to our Dreams and Visions

Aloha Beloveds! Welcome to the 3rd of 6 promised New Moon episodes, where I take a listener question and respond with guidance, recommendations, my personal reflections and stories, and finally a practice to support the question.
This October New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse, which means it is a very dark moon. This time of year asks us to go inward, to rest and find stillness. In this dark retreat we can receive wisdom and allow it to be born though our embodied consciousness. Rest, receive and align with Dharma, the Flow of Life. To be the change we want to see in the world, we must be rested and listen to what is being asked of us.
May this question from Britany, “How do I find my purpose?” OR “What is my purpose” be a springboard for your own reflection and re alignment. Your purpose, or task, as Rumi sang “is not to seek for Love, but to seek and find all the Barriers you have built against Love, and embrace them.” The process of Embodying Consciousness naturally unfolds when we:
~ Commit to Daily Practices and Ritual
~Rest
~Feel the sensations in the body, the full pleasure, pain, The 10,000 Joys and Sorrows

Hello Beloveds~ Thank you to all who listened to last moon's podcast!
As promised here is 2 of 6 New Moon Podcasts, where I take a listener question and then offer and answer and practice in response to the question.
This moon's question is from Andi, who joined us @mauiyogashala for our August YTT. She asked about my 'Solitude Sandwich,' which is the practice of taking time in solitude in the morning and evening for medtation, movement, contemplation and time in nature. This question had me reflect a lot on how the practice of morning and evening solitude has really transformed my life, and you will hear about the shift in my life, from daily drinking and living out of alignment to living on Maui and living more in alignment with my Dharma.
The morning daily practice can be found on the podcast feed, under Daily Practice.
This is an opportunity for you to shift and transform your life, with a simple commitment but revolutionary one, to align your life with what you truly value.
The meditation was recorded live with a group I facilitate meditation for bi-monthly. A big thank you to Skinny Dipped for letting me use this medtation for your enjoyment! If you would like me to lead your team in meditation, please contact me wildsacredsage@gmail.com.
lease let me know how this meditation and reflection goes. What are you rooting into? What are the things that ground and nourish you? And what are you letting go of this Fall Season?
If you set up a daily solitude sandwich practice let me know how it goes! DM or comment on Instagram @wildsacredsage
Please share this podcast with those you feel would find it supportive.
Also, I am taking on new 1:1 coaching clients at this time, so reach out if you are interested in private coaching.
Happy Equinox and have a Peaceful September New Moon
In Peace,
Sage

Welcome to the first of my Wild Sacred Sexuality series. This guided meditation and breathing practice is called "Connecting Heart and Sex," and is directly from Sexual Awakening for Women: A Tantric Workbook by Dr Shakti Mari Malan. The the intention of this practice is to open and connect the receptive Sexual Feminine Energy of your Yoni, with the Unconditional Love of your Heart and Breasts. Then, allow these energy centers to nourish, support and amplify one another as you learn to cycle prana (life force energy) in your physical and energetic bodies.
This is an intimate recording, and includes some beautiful anatomical and metaphorical descriptions of a woman's body. You can benefit from this practice if you are biologically female and want to connect your physical and energetic Yoni and Breasts, and/ or if you want to connect with your inner feminine Yoni and Brest energies and the interplay between them (regardless of your biological sex or gender identification.)
Make a nest for yourself. Ensure that your body is very comfortable, able to move and make noises, and not be interrupted before, during or after this practice (give yourself time to integrate and ground after, going outside in nature barefoot or swimming naked is ideal, or taking a bath, practicing gentle Yoga, or drinking a nourishing and grounding mug of Cacao). Trust your body. You cannot do this practice 'wrong.'
This is a beautiful practice to do first thing in the morning to awaken the energies you want to receive and share, before making love with yourself or another person, or in the evening to wind down into a blissful sleep.
Please be aware that Wild Sacred Sexuality practices may (and probably will) awaken memories, emotions and energies that may have been frozen. If you need support healing, integrating and expanding, please reach out about 1:1 coaching work, or find a Sexuality and Embodiment Coach or Sacred Sexuality Circle of loving people to support you.
Connect with me on Instagram and Facebook, and let me know how you enjoyed the meditation and what it awoke in you: @wildsacredsexuality or @wildsacredsage
Email contact: wildsacredsage@gmail.com
Let me know what style of meditation you would like me to record, or if you have questions about Yoga, Meditation, Cacao Ceremonies or Wild Sacred Sexuality practices. All of my offerings, including weekly Embodiment classes, Full moon Cacao Ceremonies, Sacred Sexuality circles, and opportunities to work with me 1:1 can be found at wildsacredcollective.com
Peace and Namaste Beloved

This meditation focuses on our capactiy to respond, to become responible, in our lives. We begin with breath awareness and body scan. Then, using the metaphore of a rafting down a river, we explore how living from open hearted awareness enables us to respond to the inevitable whitewater and changes of life. This is a wonderful meditation to do during trying or difficult times in life, allowing you to find your center, the peace within, and respond to life's curcumstances with wise compassion.

This is JTM- Just the Meditation. With today's guided Meditation and Visualization you will enter into a space of deep relaxation and safety so you can learn from and release any fear that has you in it’s grips. This powerful practice helps you live in greater authentic alignment. There are a number of fears you may encounter on a daily basis. Without knowing it, you may be ruled by fear instead of leading with love. Fear can manifest in many forms. It leaves us feeling unsettled, agitated and worn out. These may be less tangible fears, such as the fear of speaking our truth, the fear of creating something new, or confronting something that feels overwhelming and painful. They may be more tangible fears, such as the fear of illness or loss. Fear will metastasis if you don’t shine the light of awareness and move through it. There are lessons to be learned from the fear. Beyond the fear, through the fear, there is greater space for love, connection, and creativity. I invite you to take this opportunity to listen within, connect to your internal guidance system. The wisdom that lives in your bones. The wild power within you.
Before and after this practice I recommend journaling.
Before reflection questions:
What am I afraid of? What fear do I want to understand and release?
Post Meditation questions:
What did I learn? What do I want to remember? What are my next steps?
The mantra you can take from this meditation to help you in any fearful situation (You can use this one or create your own!)
“I embrace the love within me. I trust the love that surrounds me”

This is a powerful practice that can be used anytime you are experiencing stress, anxiety, or in a situation that has you feeling angry, frustrated, or not at ease in any way. This is a meditation and reflection that can be done in stillness, with a journal, or out on a walk. Take this practice and use it before you react to anything that has you feeling distressed. This will help you respond in a skillful way to whatever situation you are encountering. This will allow you to check in with yourself and process what is going on before you take rash action, or say things that lead to more conflict.
This follows the acronym of BALANCE, and you can remember to use these tools in any situation. Honestly, if you just use the first one you will find greater peace. Use the first 2, 3, 4 or all 7 and you will have the skills to navigate many challenging situations.
A short 2 min version of this will be available as a Thanksgiving Gift.

Happy Thanksgiving!
I am deeply grateful for you
What did you learn growing up about being a human?
We are designed to experience dynamic lives in the world, and to come back to homeostasis, balance, within our natural cycles. We are balanced by nature. We are whole, joyful, and vibrant by nature. We are peaceful by nature.
It is in our capacity to experience vibrant and balanced life. When you cultivate and nourish wellbeing in these 5 areas, you will find greater Ease, Purpose and Joy.
The 5 pillars are:
-Presence
-Physical
-Emotional and mindful
-Relational
- Environmental
How do you balance and nourish these 5 facets of your being?

This is just the Self-Care Meditation that will leave you feeling more in tune and aligned with your Authenic Self.
It is really important during this time of year that we make it a priority to pratice self-care. Check in daily. This can be through meditation, journaling, and other processing work such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Yoga and time in nautre. When we tend to ourselves, we are less reactive and less likely to respond in a way that is unskillful. When we give space to allow what is and step back into the witness position of unconditional love, we can show up in the present moment. Breathing fully, feeling energetic, engaged, healthy, and balanced in our bodies, minds and spirits. Within relationships it is critical you cultivate unconditional love and respect, and release the need to control, shape-shift, or to be anything other than your authetic mindful, and loving self. You can be the pepple of peace and unconditional loving awareness that ripples out into your environment. Your home, neighborhood, community, state, nation and globe. There is a lot in this meditation. It’s a little bit longer. AND it’s very important work. Change starts with you.
I will guide you through the five pillars of Balanced Awareness: Presence, Physical, Emotional, Relational, and Environmental. After a check in, we will cultivate a healthy balance between these 5 Pillars of through: Box Breathing (5-5-5-5), guided Body scan, and a relaxing visualization resting in the hammock of unconditional love. Allow these visualizations to inspire your creativity. Allow these words to guide you into a state of unconditional love and open receiptivity. You may become aware of new possibilities and areas of growth. Keep a journal near by to write down any insights you gain from this meditation.
Nothing happens to you. Everything happens for you. For your evolution, for your growth, for your awakening, for your heart expansion. This is your unique life curriculum. Only you can take this course. Only you can learn, grow and become all life is asking you to become. To show up aligned and awake. With greater unconditional love for yourself and the world.
As we move into the holiday season . . .
You may be traveling. If so, I urge you to do so with utmost care. Stay healthy. By mindful of your choices.
If you are staying at home, there may be a sense of grief or loss because you are not able to celebrate in ways that you have. It’s important to recognize and allow these feelings so you are not subconsciously controlled by them. It’s a wonderful time to cultivate new traditions of how you want to be.
We are living in a dynamic and ever-changing world. It will be increasingly different than anything we have experienced before. These tools, checking in with yourself and being the change you want to see, this is how the world changes. One open heart at a time. One vulnerable heart at a time. One person, YOU, showing up in your life with greater alignment. With Ease, Purpose and Joy.

It’s important to recognize and allow these feelings so you are not subconsciously controlled by them. It’s a wonderful time to cultivate new traditions of how you want to be.
We are living in a dynamic and ever-changing world. It will be increasingly different than anything we have experienced before. These tools, checking in with yourself and being the change you want to see, this is how the world changes. One open heart at a time. One vulnerable heart at a time. One person, YOU, showing up in your life with greater alignment. With Ease, Purpose and Joy.

This is a grounding meditation to bring you into the present moment. The only moment that exists. It's very easy to future trip or to spiral back into the past. Especially during these uncertain times. It's the eve of the United States election November 3, 2020 and there is a lot of anxiety and fear. It is incredibly important to return to the present, otherwise we risk panic and overreaction.
In this meditation, I will guide you into the present using the portal of the breath, the body, senses, and the energy centers.
Practices in this episode include:
-
Box breathing, which is inhaling for five holding for five exhaling for five and holding for five. This is a balancing breath that can be used at any time to balance and come back to equilibrium, it is actually the healthiest breath to use on a daily basis throughout your daily activities.
-
A body scan bringing relaxation and groundedness into the body which also comes to mind from your head to your toes.
-
Awareness of the senses.
-
Insight awareness through the energy centers of the body starting with the third eye, down to your throat, heart center, solar plexus, dantian, pelvic floor and then up through the spine, to the crown of the head.
-
The final exercise is what I call 'popcorn breath,' which POPS you out of fear and anxiety. Two short and full inhales, filling the lungs through your nose and a long exhale through your nose or your mouth.
Each of these exercises can be done individually as standalone practices to ground you in the present moment.
I hope that you find these helpful. Please let me know how you are experiencin and navigating these uncertain times. Please rate and review this podcast, it will help others who may really need these practices, find these meditations. Also, share this podcast with your friends, family and on social media and be a part of the Peaceful shift in consiousness on this planet.
Exciting news! I have a series of upcoming workshops on 'Living in Authentic Alignment' and 'Connecting to your Essential Self.' If you are interested in these workshops please head over to my website www.balancebySage.com to get on the mailing list. Once you sign up for the mailing list you will also receive a free metta-loving kindness meditation.

Friends with the Infinite: Spacious Breath meditation
Living on a planet going through intense change and breathing for long periods of time through a mask is a recipe for stress, anxiety and fear. There is little that is in your control. What is within your control is your breath and the sacred pause you take before you respond or react to anything. It is critical to cultivate spaciousness expansiveness through the breath on a daily basis so you can be healthy, whole and at peace.
This Guided Breathing Meditation brings you into spacious expansiveness through deep connection with pranic life force, the breath. I lead you through 3 guided breathing techniques, supported by conscious belly and palm relaxation and rib cage expansion.
About The breathing exercises:
1st: Box Breathing. This is a great breathing technique to help you come into homeostasis, back to balance. Inhale, hold, exhale, hold for equal counts of 4.
WHEN TO USE THIS BREATH: Any time to come back into the present with calm and focus. The more you consciously breathe this way, the more likely it will become a natural and healthy default.
2nd: Popcorn breath. I call this popcorn, because you are “popping” open your alveoli with a quick double inhale (through the nose) followed by a long exhale (mouth or nose). This double inhale is similar to what happens to children when they have been crying for a long time, and they get that “sniff, sniff, sigh” after a tantrum. It is a way for your body to calm down the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) and to activate the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest).
WHEN TO USE THIS BREATH: Any time you are feeling anxious, rushed or nervous. Purposefully use this breath before you have a conversation about a difficult topic or have to stay present with something that causes anxiety. This is also a calming way to center yourself after a long day.
3rd: The big exhale. 4-7-10++++ Breath. The final exercise is Inhale for 4, hold for 7 and exhale audibly counting and then continuing to whisper 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. This is a breath that cleanses your lungs of all stale air so that it can receive fresh oxygen.
WHEN TO USE THIS BREATH: Before or after exercise or movement to calm the body and nervous system down, while replenishing the body with vital breath. To fall asleep or get back to sleep if you wake up during the night. This breathing technique is also wonderful for soothing anxiety or an overactive mind.

Setting an intention at the New Moon is a powerful practice that helps clarify what you want to plant, nourish and grow in the next few weeks, months or years in your life. This is a 10 min guided meditation, without music. I encourage you to carve out time before the meditation to prepare a safe, mindful and loving space for yourself. You may want to light candles and/ or create an altar for your intention. Journaling before and/ or after this meditation is also recommended, as many people have images or ideas that come to them during the new moon. When we make space for inspiration, it will often come and dance with our creativity.
There is a lot of dynamic movement happening on the planet. Taking time to settle into stillness and be intentional with your life energy is one of the best things you can do to help be a part of loving change.
I would love to know how this meditation goes for you this new moon. What images came to you? What intention did you set? How is it manifesting in your life since you set this intention? Please let me know!

Daily reflection is powerful. Without a daily reflection practice, you miss out on opportunities to cherish what you truly love about life. You also miss the oppotunity to learn from life's experiences. Today's podcast is a guided refelction, using the acronym P.L.A.Y. This can be done as a meditation, as a journaling reflection, or as a conversation with your partner or another loved one.
PLAY stnads for:
Pride. What is something you are proud of from today?
Learning. What did you learn and what are you learning?
Appreciation. What fills you with appreciation from the day?
Yes! What made you say a full body YES to life today?
Please let me know how this reflection goes! I love doing this as journalling at sunset, with my husband as we clean up from dinner, or as a bedtime meditation as I am drifting off to sleep. Where did you PLAY?
Also, listen to the end of the podcast and let me know your thoughts on: 1. Yoga videos- do you want me to record movement videos? 2. What about the name of the show. Should l stick with Peaceful by Nature or simply This Peaceful Planet?

This is a guided Yoga Nidra meditation. Yoga Nidra is a wonderful practice that helps you relax deeply. This practice allows you to enter into a theta wave brain state, that open state of awareness between being awake and being asleep. In this open & allowing state your mind and body rest and rejuvenate. Yoga Nidra also incorporates setting an intention, which can take seed in this open and relaxed state with less resistance from your past conditioning. It has been said that 45 min of Yoga Nidra is equal to 3 hours of sleep. It can help reduce anxiety, calm your nervous system, and ease symptoms of PTSD. This practice is best practiced on your back, in a comfortable position, with a bolster under your knees, pillow or towel supporting your head and neck, an eye pillow gently covering your eyes, and a blanket that makes your body feel safe. You can listen to this guided meditation as part of your nightly practice, or as an independent meditation. Please let me know how you enjoy this practice, as well as any changes you see in your waking life after practicing a few days.
As always, I welcome questions and feedback. Let me know if you have questions about intention setting or the practice of Yoga Nidra. I welcome suggestions for meditations for the podcast. If you would like a personalized meditation and recording to help you transform in a specific way (this may be related to health, habits, work or personal growth) please get in touch.

Hello Beloveds, friends, fellow earthlings. Welcome to the second week of Peaceful by Nature. In this podcast I talk a bit about grief and the awakening potential on this planet through our individual and collective growing pains. It's an intense world. We all need to nourish our mind, bodies and souls with deep restorative rest so that we can live with open hearts and greater peace. Yoga Nidra is a wonderful practice that helps you relax deeply.

This guided Meditation is the perfect way to start you day. Have you noticed that how you begin your day dictates how the rest of your day unfolds? If you start the day by replaying the ills of yesterday or anxious about the state of the world, you are less mindful and loving. When you start your day by being aware of your breath, connecting to your heart and relaxing your body, you will be able to show up with less reactivity and anxiety, and more mindful loving awareness. This ten minute meditation will guide you to listen to your heart's wisdom and set a heartfelt intention, as well as relax your body so you can be at peace throughout the events of your day.

Welcome to the first episode of Peaceful by Nature, brought to you by This Peaceful Planet.
In this episode:
An introduction to the podcast and the pillars of cultivating and nourishing Peace in your life. In this podcast I offer gentle and joyful practices that will help you cultivate and nourish Peace at three levels: Personal, Interpersonal and Planetarty.
First we talk about what I mean by "Peaceful by Nature" and my intention in creating the podcast. Then we look at some of the gentle and joyful personal practices that help you cultivate Peace, including meditation, nourishing movement, time in nature, and creative expression. I talk about our relationship with our thoughts and emotions and how meditation can help sooth our beings and bring us home to Peace. We start to explore how you are the pebble at the center of Peace on the planet. When you create peace within and practice radical self love and care, you can spread that love and peace with the world.
Do you have questions about what I shared in this first episode? Are there specific kinds of meditations you would like to hear? I would love your feedback and welcome your suggestions.
