Please enjoy this extra call I have hosted as part of the Symphonies for the Mind Meditation Experience - where personal growth meets meditation. The biggest message in this recording is that when the mind is in non-stop stress mode it is not in health and healing mode so we need a way, a tool, like meditation to shift the brain and mind into a calmer state. The body wants to always be moving toward health and healing - meditation helps this path. Enjoy...

This is a great short recording to listen to a few times during the month to connect with and reconnect to this theme. Enjoy!
This meditation will help you pause midday and practice the power of positive self talk - so much easier when the brain is calmer. You will see yourself using it in a situation that has already happened, one that is ahead and also just walking in everyday life. Enjoy!
This morning meditation will help you begin the day practicing where and how in your day you can integrate the power of Positive Self-talk. It is also easier to practice when the brain and mind are less busy and we have bypassed the analytical mind. Enjoy!
By midday we can really feel like the weight of the world and things is on us so this meditation will help you practice lightening up and easing some of that weight off your shoulders - even a little is significant. Go into the rest of your day feeling lighter...
This meditation helps us practice beginning the day feeling a little lighter - we practice a few techniques that help us do so. Enjoy...
This meditation is great to use midday to get your mind back to your highest intentions - enjoy!
This meditation is great to do before you begin your day to set your mind for the day ahead. You can either let the day and life happen to you or you can get more intentional about how you want it go, how & who you wish to be. Enjoy!
A positive and productive daily mindset doesn't just happen, you have to create it - so all this month we are going to practice tools and techniques through meditation to help do so. Today the focus being Living with Intention
This is a great meditation to do midday when we are already caught up in things and perhaps feeling the stressful impact of impatience towards ourselves, others and situations. Very very useful...
This meditation helps you launch the day with an intention of patience - it integrates various patience practices so that you can bring the power of this into your day.
We all go into overthinking mode and often it's challenging to shift out of this. This meditation integrates 3 strategies to help us practice 1) Present moment awareness 2) Aware of negative repetitive thoughts & 3) acknowledging successes. Enjoy this proactive practice to shift the mind!
Use this meditation to intentionally shift the mind out of worry mode. This meditation integrates 3 strategies to do so 1) Present moment awareness 2) Standing back and understanding ourselves and what's going on & 3) Big Picture Thinking - enjoy...
Enjoy this brief intro to today's meditations and theme - Shifting out of Worry and Overthinking. We all worry & we all overthink at times, totally normal. It's only when we cannot seem to reel in the mind that it can then impact our performance, creativity and well being. It's also harder to shift our mind when the brain is in busy mode. This is where meditation comes in as an effective tool to help. Enjoy...
A great meditation to use midday to shift your state - in this one we practice breathing techniques that are effective for helping us. Enjoy this practice...I know you will feel even better after!
This morning meditation allows you to practice 5 effective state shifting breathing strategies and visualize using them at various times in the day. Enjoy!
We cannot change or shift if we are not aware, once we heighten our awareness we can change and shift our choices. Midday is a great time to pause proactively and practice awareness. Enjoy this meditation designed specifically for this.
Awareness is the first point of change. If you are not aware, you really cannot change. So heightening our awareness of our own stress landscape is powerful. Not easy to do however when the brain and mind are in busy mode - easier when we have bypassed the analytical mind. Use this meditation in the morning to begin the day...
Welcome to the 4 week Less Stress Challenge. This is about not only reducing stress but building ways and using tools, like meditation, mindfulness and breath work that help us move through stress better in the moment and also help us recover and bounce back from stress. The challenge is also meant to help you integrate meditation - calming the mind - a bit more easily and consistently into your daily life. Listen to these words with eyes closed and bringing your awareness to your breathing...
Releasing what we have chosen to hold onto is not easy...allow this to help you practice...
Everything is Connected, Everything is One...listen now to this whisper of your Soul...
Need a little help Listening to the Whispers of your Soul? It's always speaking to you...
As part of both the Symphonies journey and the Inner Edge I have created a fun "Less Stress" Challenge to help us not only have less stress in our lives but also harness the power of short bursts of stress when they are present - stress in short bursts can help us in many ways, especially when we are more able to meet it calmly - even a bit more calmly. This first week is about building awareness around the impact of stress - I know we know this, but it is always so valuable to remind ourselves. Enjoy...this recording.
A great midday meditation to use to help get the mind back on track when the day has gotten busy and maybe even crazy to get back to that sense that no matter what you'll be okay - that is an internal shift and state you create. Enjoy this practice...
a great meditation to do as you move into a busy day, perhaps one that you know will be filled with challenges and change - which is kind of like what most days can be like. It prepares the mind to meet and move through these challenges differently and perhaps even more effectively. You can do this at your seat, or on the drive to work (eyes open!) or seated on public transit. Enjoy...
Enjoy these opening words to today's meditations which inspires you with how a calmer mind can help you face life's daily storms in a different, perhaps more effective way.
A great meditation to use midday when challenges and difficulties have occurred and one gets all wrapped up in it and resisting it instead of seeing the opportunities. Not easy to do when the brain and mind are busy. Enjoy...
We are wired to resist difficulties and change as something unwelcome in our lives - it's human of us. What if we can learn to condition the brain and mind to resist difficulties less and embrace them more as part of our path. Not easy when the brain and mind are in non-stop busy mode. Easier when we calm the brain and mind - one could say we are setting up our mind and mindset for the day. Enjoy this practice. Great to do at the beginning of a busy day...
This 5 Minute Meditation is a proactive way to set up your mind for the day ahead and whatever it brings. A Calm Mind is a Stronger more resilient mind.
This meditation is great to do anytime, especially when life is particularly crazy or busy. Tap into your strongest place - a place of trust within - always there, always has been, always will be...enjoy...
Trust is not easy in a busy noisy world but it does help us navigate the day and whatever it brings. Use this meditation to prepare the mind and trust in the day, trust in yourself...
Use this morning meditation to proactively shift your brain & mind into a stronger state.
Welcome to April and the theme for this month and the Thursday Meditations - Shifting into Mental Strength - these opening words inspire you with some of the science around this claim.
This is a great meditation to do midday when the day & life has gotten busy and we might feel a bit or a lot off centre. This meditation will help you proactively pause and determine how you wish to show up. What thoughts and actions are in alignment with the greatest version of yourself.
You can either be run be external circumstances or guided by a vision and set of values. The latter helps you navigate life and land on your feet regardless of what happens. Like a guiding compass. So beneficial and perhaps also vital for these times.
This is the brief intro to the meditations that help you build your mental vision muscles - so helpful for these times.
The mind is often full, full of what has happened during the day, full of knowledge and this can keep us from seeing something clearly or differently - this practice will help, especially midday!
A great meditation to do before you begin the day to help you think about it, set it up perhaps in a whole new way! Enjoy!
An brief intro to these meditations that are intended to help you practice calming and strengthening the mind
This meditation is a powerful proactive midday mind reset - when the mind has gotten caught up in the day, the emotions etc. It is powerful to reset the mind with meditation.
This is a brief introduction to the two meditations that are designed to help you set up the mind in the morning and reset the mind midday. Enjoy...
Use this meditation so that you do not leave the state of your mind to chance - set it up for more optimal performance!
When the brain and mind are calmer, it's so much easier to access the Bigger Picture or keep it in mind in the storms of life. Enjoy...
Accessing a calmer state of mind is not simply a nice "notion", it is incredibly beneficial to help us navigate the storms and changes of life, perform and feel at our best. Please enjoy this meditation...helping you set up your mind and state for the day...
Clarity begins in the mind - and when life is busy, uncertain this is the place to create it and get a sense of it. This meditation will help :)
Even in the busyness, perhaps especially in the busyness, it is useful to get a sense that we can slow things down just a little, calm the mind just a little so we can see more clearly our next steps, choices and gain a new perspective.
This is the intro to the meditations created for today, helping us practice meeting challenges differently. Enjoy
The foundation of meeting life's challenges differently is awareness - an awareness of what's happening within so you can meet what's happening out there...differently - enjoy...
Welcome to the practice of acceptance - a way to meet challenges differently, far from passive and so much easier to practice when the brain and mind are calmer.
When the external world is busy, this practice of calming the brain and mind and going past our busy stream of thoughts can help us meeting it differently - become that calm, clear place in the storm.
Between stimulus and response is a space and in that space lies our power and freedom to choose our response - this meditation helps you practice creating space within you and all around you so that you can meet life's challenges differently.
This meditation is inspired to help those who need help in certain moments seeing the light in the dark. Those that are going through a healing journey of recovery.
As we get set to launch the next issue of Whytime Mag focused on Moving the World, we decided to have an inspired conversation with Film Expert & Visionary Beverley Dondale. We are so inspired by Beverley and how her vision for the film industry is moving the world.
As we get set to launch WHYu - a school for the soul this fall (2020) and with the first semester being all about Passion, because it forms the foundation of your Deeper Why; we're having some lovely conversations about Passion and how, let's face it, we really don't know what our Passion is? Despite this self-help age promising us 6 easy steps to discovering our passion most of us still feel lifeless and lost and we say this with so much compassion for the human condition for this was our life too! So in this podcast we talk about Why we don't know our Passion and how the world is not really set up to help and support us with Passion. So enjoy...and thanks for tuning in.
Despite this "Self-help" age, it seems like we are more lost and spiritually disconnected than ever, especially in the times we find ourselves in. Maybe it's time to go deeper. Maybe the quick fixes, 6 easy steps and the non-stop pursuit of "more" is not serving us and fuelling this sense of lostness and lifelessness we feel. On this podcast we'll talk about WHYu - a school for the soul - maybe it's time for that now. We think so. Thank you for listening...sit back and be inspired by the possibilities. This is our contribution to these uncertain times.
Why is it even important to Notice your Life? We start with that question and then launch into this inspired conversation. You'll see on this podcast why this is a powerful theme for the times we find ourselves in. What is the impact of not noticing your Life and what is possible when we wake up and notice? This Podcast is also wrapped around the energy of Gerry's 4th Transformational Novel: The Life I Noticed that is the sum total of all the wisdom & inspiration he has gained from 1000's of #Whytime sessions. So sit back and be inspired...
