Season 1, Episode 156: Guided Walking Meditation #22 with Michael Neeley

Today’s guided walking meditation will take place on… well… your feet (unless, of course, you’re driving as you listen). A walking meditation is a simple practice that can help you to bring awareness to your day at any given moment. You can even apply it to a few steps during your grocery shopping to get a brief respite from your busy day.

Michael will guide you through a few variations on the practice:

  • Focusing on your external sensations (sound, sights, and climate)
  • Focusing on your internal physical action (shifting your balance as you move)
  • Awareness in the pause (a practice in slowing down and observing the world)

Season 1, Episode 142: Guided Meditation #20 with Michael Neeley

Welcome to Consciously Speaking’s guided meditation series. Today, Michael Neeley, will be guiding you through an awareness meditation. Some would even call this a consciousness meditation, as it is intended to bring you into a deeper state of connection with reality. Not a perceived reality, but the reality of nature. In the simplest of terms – what IS.

Our existence is like music when we allow it to be such. We are all notes that comprise part of a magnificent symphony. Struggle and anxiety occur for us when we try to separate ourselves from the music; yet when we recognize that we are a part of the song of life, easefulness arrives.

A drop of water does not think of itself as separate from the stream.

We are all part of the stream of a greater consciousness. And while we often look at ourselves as the drop, doing our own thing, feeling our own feelings, and living our own way, we can easily tap back into our grander nature and once again feel our connection to the stream.

Anytime you feel the desire to do so, simply focus your awareness on what IS in the moment. Focus it so intently that there is nothing else but the moment and what it holds in all its richness.

Season 1, Episode 114: Guided Meditation #16 with Michael Neeley

Do you frequently feel crunched for time? Are there simply not enough hours in your day? Perhaps no one is more aware of this than Dr. Eric Maisel, the author of many books, including Ten Zen Seconds: Twelve Incantations for Purpose, Power and Calm.

In Consciously Speaking’s guided meditation series today, Michael will guide you through Eric’s twelve breath awareness incantations that are meant to get you into a Zen meditation pose quickly. Few people have time for one hour, or even a half-hour meditation session during the day. But, Ten Seconds of Zen can be worked into your day almost anytime, anywhere.

Five seconds on the inhale, five seconds on the exhale. Repeat this several times and you’re on your way to relaxation and calm.

This powerful, ten-second technique that we will practice today can change your stress into calm, strength and centeredness. The basis of The Ten Second Pause is using a single deep breath as a container for a specific thought.

The technique is simple to grasp, simple to use, simple to practice and simple to master. It can be used anywhere, anytime, by anyone and it’s benefits are profound. You may find yourself able to do things that previously felt too painful or too difficult to attempt. You’ll be able to calm and center yourself before an important meeting or conversation. You’ll be able to change your basic attitudes about life, becoming calm and positive where before you may have been anxious or pessimistic.

These Chakra Zen Incantations we are about to do are based on the breath-awareness teachings from Eric’s book, which you can learn more about on my website or find on Amazon.com.

Season 1, Episode 107: Guided Meditation #15 with Michael Neeley

In today’s guided meditation with Michael Neeley, you will be treated to conscious poetry from Mary Oliver, Rumi, Derek Walcott and Wendell Berry.

Love after Love by Derek Walcott:

The time will come

When with elation,

you will greet yourself arriving

at your own door in your own mirror,

and each will smile at the other’s welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.

You will love again the stranger who was your self.

Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart

to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you have ignored

for another, who knows you by heart.

Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,

peel your own image from the mirror.

Sit. Feast on your life.

From Wendell Berry’s The Real Work:

It may be that when we no longer know what to do

we have come our real work,

and that when we no longer know which way to go

we have come to our real journey.

The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.”
