This is the beginning of a new series of posts – so that we can talk together about the things that matter. I started this blog, Spiritually Connected Living to highlight a radio show that I did during 2006 and mid 2007. I no longer have that radio show but the archived mp3′s are available to you here right on this page. Listen to some of them, I think you’ll like the message and it will help as you move forward in your life.

I plan on writing about many different things: intention, integration, intuition (lots of “in’s”!), inspirations and being “in” the body. I’ll talk about meditation, hypnosis as a tool, heal and healing, and the Laws of Attraction. Spiritually Connected Living is what we strive for daily. It answers the question, “How do I get through my day with all there is to do and all there is to think about, and still have (time, energy, desire) to find that still, quiet voice inside me that helps me expand spiritually? It’s simple – sometimes not easy, but very do-able. Follow along and come back often for tips, ideas, and conversations that help you be the Spiritually Connected Human Being that you are! Namaste!

Peggy and Sue, both nurses, began their company, Gentle Soles, after asking the Universe to guide them into work that was both fulfilling and that would make a difference to others. The answer came as Gentle Soles, a professional nursing foot care service that they began in 1999. Find out how they took a desperately needed service and turned it into a deeply spiritual and honorable profession – sitting at the foot of elders and caring for their feet. Today, they operate their mobile foot care service in Winslow, Arizona. They provide volunteer foot care for the Bread of Life Mission for the homeless in a nearby city. Peggy and Sue also care for the feet of the Catholic lay-sisters of Madonna House, whose calling is to minister to the poor, and people in their community.

Almost sounds like an oxymoron. Think of it as looking at one of those stereograms – 3D pictures that were popular in the ’90s. The harder you stared at a picture full of dots, the less you saw. When you relaxed your eyes and your body, a 3-D picture magically appears. If you’d like to try it, go to this website, http://www.eyetricks.com/3dstereo.htm.

Focus your attention on your breath so that your conscious mind stops thinking, and let the relaxation AND the picture appear!

In that stillness time, or meditation, you stop the chatter in your mind and can begin to listen to the quiet voice inside yourself. It’s that voice that helps you discover who you are, what you’re here for and how to move through your daily life.

Meditation CDIf you give yourself just FIVE MINUTES a day to be still, to meditate, you will begin to feel much more relaxed, in control and alive. To help you begin your practice of meditation, I have created a simple CD of meditation music. Called “Got 30?” Music to Guide Your Meditation, it has 3 tracks. A 5-minute track, 15-minutes, and 30 minute track. Each begins with approximately 2 minutes of soft, relaxing music to help you begin your meditation and then fades away into 5, 15, or 30 minutes of silence. At the end of the designated time, the music gently brings you back from your meditative state. No need to watch the clock or set an alarm. The music does it for you! To purchase the CD for $9.95 plus s/h, simply click here. If you’d prefer to download the meditation music in MP3 format for your own player click here.
