Strategies for Focus & Concentration ~ Dhāraṇā

In this experiential episode, I share three of my favourite (and most simple) daily practices of Dharana.
Dharana is the sustained practice of focused concentration on a single object. This focus is usually the breath, but it can also be the repetition of a mantra, the visualization of a deity, or the contemplation of a deep truth.
When we practice Dharana, the mind becomes peaceful and it softens or stills. We strengthen the mind by focusing on one area and practicing control of the mind. The mind is like a muscle we can train, and it's not beyond our control that the thoughts just come and take us away with them. We are in control, and Dharana is one way we can practice this control.

In this bliss meditation you deepen the practice of self-love as a state of being that you live in.
Bliss meditations are my signature feel the love, hold abundance, seek comfort and safety and presence and manifest all possibilities. They are an exquisite experience of the divine and all sacred moments of the present.
Nowhere is it more profound then to honour the brilliance of who you are.
Because when you cherish and love yourself as you inherently heal the parts of you that have been mired in disharmony. You see to hold the dignity of love, to share it unto yourself and to feel the hope and satisfaction of all of what lies waiting in store.
You can live in the certainty of the present moment. You can acknowledge your greatness and the conditions of your life that are meant to inspire and reveal so much love and you can also invite and appreciate all of life's goodness that is here and for you.
Enjoy this!
Sending you great 💜 love...

Waiting to Exhale ~ PRANAYAMA
'ask dorothy' | Q & A
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 64
~ Pranayama breathing guides us into the ease of pure existence. ~
💜
Do you ever catch yourself holding your breath? Perhaps in anticipation, in anxiety, in the realization that something is not going as you had hoped?
Maybe your hold your breath when you think about what magic lives in store for you and your future - like when you daydream and wish and manifest your heartfelt desires?
Pranayama is a Sanskrit word formed by two words. Prana means a subtle life-force / ‘vital energy’ / ‘breath of life’ which gives energy to the mind and body (it is also translated as the substance of the astral world) and ayama which signifies the voluntary effort to expand, lengthen and direct life-force or prana.
Pranayama, therefore, means “extension of life force.”
Waiting to exhale is the other side of waiting to enjoy life’s precious moments because you are focused in the end goal rather than the entire journey and what more you seek and learn from the total sum of your experiences.
The lessons are the magic. They are the ways in which life avails to us the importance of our path ~ of the miracles that continue ceaselessly all around us and in all moments and with our conviction.
What are you waiting for?
What are you wishing to change or have or be that seems far reaching and yet perfect for you to discover and experience now? The perfect basis of your beautiful nature lives inside of you. To seek and know it is the essence of life in its truest form.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

PRANAYAMA ~ Extension of Life Force ~
The Fourth Limb of The Yoga Sutras Part 1/2
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 63
~ Pranayama breathing guides us into the ease of pure existence. ~
💜
Pranayama is a Sanskrit word formed by two words. Prana means a subtle life-force / ‘vital energy’ / ‘breath of life’ which gives energy to the mind and body (it is also translated as the substance of the astral world) and ayama which signifies the voluntary effort to expand, lengthen and direct life-force or prana.
Pranayama, therefore, means “extension of life force.”
Pranayama is essentially a process by which prana is controlled by regulating the breathing voluntarily. It involves a temporary pause or interval in the movement of breath.
The practice of pranayama according to the sutras helps in transforming the total personality by clearing mental obstructions, purifying the subtle channels (nadis) with prana flow, awakening dormant vital forces in the body, focusing attention, developing concentration and improving overall health and vitality.
Pranayama aims primarily at controlling the mind and suspending the mental activity and ego-consciousness in order to bring about a still mind. When the mind still and the breathing calm, the inner light of the true self shines radiantly.
The light of the self is always pure even though it is affected by the filters of the mind. When the filters (belief systems, mindset, thought, biases) are removed – as it is a state of pure awareness – there is only one pure light ~ the true self.
Join me for this beautiful exploration of the fourth limb of the Yoga Sutras ~ PRANAYAMA.

The Birth of Meditation in Your Life
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 16
"Your inner sanctuary is what builds and sustains your outer life."
💜
“Let’s make it official! You’ve just up levelled your meditation experience with me!”
If you’ve been listening to the podcast you know that I cover topics of spiritual and practical wisdom. This podcast is a medium for me to share with you what we might discuss in a client session of therapy and coaching, and what may be a recommendation for a new meditation for you to try...
I’ve also dedicated some episodes just for that – to share a meditation that is meant to evoke the space and the guidance to help you experience quiet moments and moments that are not so quiet because now you are hearing everything that was silenced before.
Meditation opens you to listen more deeply to the world within. Meditation allows you to calibrate your inner world with the perceptions you live in the world around you.
This means that the inner peace that you hold becomes the peace that you live and in all of your encounters with others.
Meditation is to listen to the space that you exist in; your physical environment – the kids playing downstairs, the neighbour's dog barking as someone walks by on the street; the ambient music playing in the background, the furnace that just turned off.
Maybe you have observed your brain – noticing what feels like neurons firing up; you can literally feel yourself awakening to your full cognitive functioning.
It could be the coffee but nonetheless, you are present to it ~ perceptive in ways that you have not noticed before.
So are you ready? Let's dive into together - let's birth this!
Your free form meditation practice experience of 5 minutes is about to ease you into one of the most incredible states of being.
This is your first step. Whether right now with me or after you listen to the rest of this audio, let’s together witness the space and time of now for five minutes.
Begin here because in five minutes your whole life can change.
If you would like to experience other guided meditation with me, you must check out The Wisdom Archives: a digital sanctuary of guided meditations, mindfulness musings, spiritual teachings, and best practices for your mental wellness. Enjoy the free content here and then subscribe. Your monthly membership is your access to everything here! New content is added weekly! Namaste! 🙏
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

p r e s e n c e
The WISDOM podcast S2 Bonus Episode 3
Here I offer the ways in which to think about presence during meditation and how to live in a state of presence in the moments of your life.
Presence teaches you how to willfully enjoy life’s moments, how to allow them in; to accept what they have to offer; to flourish in the experience of them, and to trust that everything by means of each singular moment is meaningful; each moment is significant.
When you practice presence, you become attuned to what is around you. You become more aware of the inward dwelling space of your inner being; and what allows you to witness yourself – your true nature – as the purest aspect of what you are.
Try this simple practice of presence for a moment with me. Close your eyes. Focus on your breathing. Soften into what you feel. Notice your heartbeat beneath the hand that you gently hold unto your heart center.
Presence is about joining in the moments of your life as they are already unfolding; and riding the wave of each moment; being one with them.
It is in this way that the practice of presence opens you. It draws you into the richness of the life you are living; and for seeing and experiencing more.
Sending you great love....
💜
Namaste🙏

The Four Essential Principles of Meditation
Part Four: P U R P O S E
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 68
Here we are. This episode rounds out this very special ‘how to’ meditation series of the four essential principles of meditation.
These are the foundational elements that will guide you in a successful practice of meditation and these are also the four elements that will lead you into the most beautiful experiences of your life.
If you’ve struggled with how to meditate; how to build a sustainable practice and a beautiful ritual; if you would like to have further gentle guidance that affirms the benefits of meditation and how it helps you in other areas of your life; “these principles are the path and the tools to your holy grail.” They are the masterful, integral elements to guide and support you as you begin your practice or nourish an existing one.
Meditation is something that teaches us how to go within to feel comfort and peace, to reclaim the path home – and into our self; and to quiet the thoughts that stir and rouse; that keep us distracted and far removed from accessing our inner state of calm and Zen - and meditation is one path into your inner wisdom, and the truth that lives within you.
Here in this fourth and final part of the essential principles of meditation, we examine the principle of purpose. As you listen on, consider how this final element is the beautiful accompaniment to the other three principles: that of presence, allowing and will; since purpose is what identifies and ignites the importance for why you choose to meditate; why you develop faith in its cumulative benefit – even if “nothing” seems to be happening at the surface – just yet; and how you witness the greater meaning and purpose of your practice beyond what you experience during meditation itself.
So let’s dive into this fourth principle and its true potential for supporting a beautiful practice and the approach that you bring to all of life. 💜

The Four Essential Principles of Meditation
Part Three: W I L L
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 66
In this episode we dive in to part three of a four-part series of the essential principles of meditation.
Whether you meditate daily or every once in awhile; whether you are looking to return to a regular practice that you once cultivated, or deepen the experiences you have, you shall as you embrace each of these four principles, have all that you need to witness and know one of the most experiences of life.
Let these four essential principles be the pillars of your experience, both in meditation and also what you live in daily life for each of these will serve you in the best possible way; to live awake, to be present to the moments of life that exist for you; and to witness using all of your senses.
This third essential principle is so very important for your practice. It sets the tone for what you will experience without pressure or expectation. Will guides the mind and the heart. It is a powerful representation of how you manifest and co-create your life and it offers much abundance to the experience that you will have during meditation.
W I L L is the language of your heart’s desire; of decisions that you make to guide and support you through all things. W I L L is the resolve you hold to see something of value and importance through to completion. It is will that ensures your success beyond intention for will is the dedication and pursuit that is needed to take an idea, a desire, an intention and to transform this into the physical material reality that you live.
Let W I L L be a demonstration of your inner peace; your desires revealed with love and for the betterment of your life.

The Four Essential Principles of Meditation
Part Two: A L L O W I N G
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 64
In this episode we dive in to part two of a four-part series of the essential principles of meditation.
Whether you meditate daily or every once in awhile; whether you are looking to return to a regular practice that you once cultivated, or deepen the experiences you have, you shall as you embrace each of these four principles, have all that you need to witness and know one of the most experiences of life.
Let these four essential principles be the pillars of your experience, both in meditation and also what you live in daily life for each of these will serve you in the best possible way; to live awake, to be present to the moments of life that exist for you; and to witness using all of your senses.
Here in part two, we dive into allowing and the true benefit of being receptive; to be inclusive of your experiences - both in meditation and in all of life.
In meditation, allowing is the open awareness of all that you observe and witness in the absence of judgment. You can witness something and accept that it is already here in the physical world – unchangeable – and you can choose in the very next moment what you will bring into your life through your deliberate actions and the holding of presence as you focus inward; perhaps unto your heart center or your breath. Out of the present moment you observe yourself in calm – in now.
The principle of allowing teaches you to be inclusive; and to accept what you witness. The choices you make out of this moment empower you; to continue to observe; to learn, to seek greater understanding as when you may wish to sit with what emotions you are experiencing for a time and to take right action towards what is desired.
The teaching of this principle helps you to develop your ability to witness first; and then out of the ability to allow your experience you may then be guided out of this knowledge to choose based on what is right and best for you.

To meditate is to live in the knowledge and grace of what is here before you; to witness “what is” – in this moment. In the present moment you witness a state of inner peace and calm that is always present within you; and that which you may attune to both during meditation and in other moments of your life. One of the benefits of a regular practice is to more easily return to and live in the inner calm that exists within you.
This is the first of a four-part series designed to help you begin a 10-15 minute self-directed practice that you can lead yourself through with confidence. These four foundational principles are also helpful to inspire your existing practice, and to build further on the skills that you already have.
The first of four essential principles of meditation is that of PRESENCE.
Presence is: the idea of attention and mindful awareness to what you observe here and in each moment
This means to notice when you are thinking about the past or future so you may actively return your attention to here... and now.
When you live in the presence of this moment; and for each moment – as the only moment that is truly important; and in which you are able to effect change; to choose; to take thoughtful and deliberate actions, to feel; to witness life unfolding and to imagine in the present what is desired of the future. There is no other moment in which to live from.
