Season 1, Episode 120: James Westly – Author, Therapist and Spiritual Teacher

Today’s guest is James Westly. James is a licensed psychotherapist and the author of My Journey to Now Plus Tools for the Seeker: A Spiritual Memoir, the remarkable story of his pursuit for higher consciousness by separating thought from self.

James completely withdrew from society at the age of 35 to study higher consciousness at the Gurdjieff Ouspensky Center in Northern California. Years later he would mainstream his spiritual practice, earning a master’s degree in counseling from the University of Phoenix. He has been practicing psychotherapy since 1986.

As a therapist, James specializes in the practice and dissemination of techniques to awaken and develop the Human Spirit. He teaches his clients how to stop thought and focus their mind fully into the present moment through a very powerful concentration meditation that demonstrates that your mind is not who you are.

According to James, our lives are governed by fear. We are the product of fear, and everywhere we go we are faced with fear.

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.
