How to Release Anger
+ Guided Meditation
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Bonus Episode 2
~ You release anger when you find peace ~ peace that lives within you." ~
💜
'This is a meditative experience within the spiritual teachings of self-integrity, self-love, of peace and tranquility ~ of guiding yourself into the present moment and to your heart and to the sacred presence of what miracles live here.'
Anger itself is a natural emotion to the perception that we are being treated unfair or unkind, we can at times find ourselves helpless to the overwhelming feelings of anger that overtake our rational mind. Anger misdirected and uncontrolled is destructive.
Anger rises up when you perceive you are being treated unfair and unjust. When another is unkind, disrespectful and deliberately hurtful.
Anger focuses your attention onto the injustice and damage that you are witness to. As you continue to dwell in its presence, you perpetuate all of its symptoms: annoyance, irritability, frustration and rage. This is how anger becomes debilitating.
Anger is built upon the experience of hurt. It can be a defence you hold as you perceive others treating you unfairly and unkind. It can be your justifiable reaction to trauma and abuse, and to any words and actions that deny you the privileges you deserve.
Anger itself is a cue (a reminder) to re-examine a situation from a higher perspective ~ one that does not immediately cast blame and to observe your intuition if it incites that another may be unfair in their treatment of you.
There is much that you will benefit from when anger is not your first response.
The meditative practice that I guide you through here is a practice that I use. It is one that I teach. It works beautifully ~ as you hold yourself accountable to releasing anger by choice.
Anger is not meant to be an emotion that you live in. The intentions that you hold for releasing anger are most important.
Let your anger be a cue to look within ~ for honesty and understanding and for you to change the scope of what you think and how you react to all of the situations in which you hold the power to choose what is right and best for you.
The rest of what you wait for is your own. It is the peace and tranquility of your heart returning to love and to this perfect state as love and conviction. Anger is not yours to hold.
Namaste! 💜
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

PRATYAHARA ~ Awareness of the Senses ~
The Fifth Limb of The Yoga Sutras
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 65
~ See without the senses distracting or pulling the mind, ~
💜
*Pratyahara is the fifth limb of yoga in the Ashtanga yoga system—also called the eight-limbed path of the yoga sutras—and it serves as a foundation for the practice of meditation.
Through meditation, you can better understand how to hone your awareness, connect to the present moment, and find inner peace or calm.
In the practice of pratyahara you draw your mind inward ~ you release the urge to immediately react to incoming sensation. You approach stilling the mind by shifting the act of sensing from an external to an internal orientation.
Through the practice of pratyahara, you develop concentrative powers that could be called supra ~ above sensory because the act of seeing or feeling becomes heightened to a tremendous degree. It is as though you have new eyes and ears, new senses. You perceive colour more vividly and enjoy your food more, and as you truly wake your senses, you awaken to and value the inner psychological and spiritual dimensions that are the substance and source of what you feel, see, taste, smell and hear.
Your attention in the practice of pratyahara is directed inwards, being totally aware of where the impulse to breathe in and breathe out arises. The total awareness of this itself is pratyahara – or drawing one’s attention into and within oneself.
I liken this to what I call a state of bliss. And yes it is a state of being that you can live in as you practice pratyahara ad as you seek to live this state more of the time – especially during the practice of meditation, mindfulness, inner contemplation, presence in this moment.
Join me for this beautiful exploration of the fourth limb of the Yoga Sutras ~ PRATYAHARA.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

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.

Shedding The Inauthentic Self
An Experience Into Wholeness
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 37
~ The inauthentic parts of you are those parts that you are not happy with. ~
💜
Timestamps:
A Mantra: 0-1:56 | Podcast Theme Intro: 1:57 | The Inauthentic Parts Defined: 3:24 | How to Feel Whole and Complete: 5:41 | Reclaim All of Who You Truly Are ~ A Visualization Experience: 6:46 | Podcast Theme Outro: 23:14
This episode begins with a mantra to help you begin the energetic release of the aspects of you that you no longer wish to be ~ as you reclaim your wholeness with the behaviors, attitude, and beliefs that best represent your highest self.
Here we do some very cool shape-shifting towards living whole and of your authentic self.
It’s time to break free from what aspects of yourself are inauthentic ~ that is ~ what has never served you.
We learn so much from the external world that does not serve who we truly are and all that we desire to be.
What traits, behaviours, mindset is not wholly kind and loving is also not authentic.
As humans we all experience moments when we are living out of our dark side ~ the inauthentic part of our self, largely ingrained with the ego’s need to be right, to be in competition with or better than another – and the desire to find approval and importance when really you already have everything you need to be monumental in your life ~ and true to your highest good.
“Release what you will no longer be – the antithesis of something is something better.”
Shedding the inauthentic self is releasing what is not wanted. This is replaced with a return to embracing what you truly are at your core. The new behaviours, mindset, thoughts, and actions all contribute to feeling whole and complete ~ as you are.
In releasing the cycles of your past, you are free to live whole ~ and true to yourself ~ all that is built upon what you are ~ that is pure goodness, grace, kindness, love, inspired to create and to thrive, and the ability to appreciate all of life’s beautiful moments in the present.
If you would like my help in your journey of living authentic, please reach out to me. namaste! 🙏
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

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 neighbor'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...
