Crystal Voices

This CD has the absolute best chakra meditation I have ever come across. It’s difficult for me to get grounded and feel centered. The chakra meditation helps me do so.
From Amazon:
The top-selling, original, definitive Crystal Bowl CD by Crystal Bowl pioneers CRYSTAL VOICES (Deborah Van Dyke & Valerie Farnsworth) DR.WAYNE DYER calls it “A beautiful, soul-full CD”.Crystal Voices: Meditation CD

It includes a sixteen minute “GUIDED CHAKRA MEDITATION” – A powerful healing tool which provides a vibrational “tune-up” to balance the chakras, and “SANCTUARY” – A deeply relaxing, soft symphony of crystal bowls and windchimes to the background of a gentle mountain brook. This harmony of singing bowls and voice toning creates a sanctuary of sound for deep relaxation and meditation….the sound waves produced by these pure quartz crystal bowls provide an inner body sound massage….releasing tension and stree held in the physical body, calming the mind and centering one’s focus. These sacred sounds have a profound effect on the body, mind and spirit….their alphawave tones are an effective vehicle for shifting our awareness, accessing our creative imagination and restoring inner harmony.

The Secret of Deliberate Creation

In late December, I began planning and visualizing all that I wanted to create in 2007. I went out searching for anything that would give me a new, fresh perspective on how to
manifest things. I came across a man and an audio program I hadn’t heard of before. The man is Dr. Robert Anthony and the program is called

The Secret of Deliberate Creation
. Often times, books and audio about the
law of attraction contain a great deal of new age language which distracts from
the simplicity and practicality of manifesting. The thing I appreciated about
Dr. Anthony’s program was that the process is described in a very
straightforward manner which made comprehending it all that much easier.

For me, the best part of the program was when he likened
abundance to downloading something from the Internet–there is always enough
downloads for everyone because there is an unlimited supply.
From the Web site:
…The Secret of Deliberate Creation home study
program will change your life. There is nothing else like it!
The Secret of Deliberate Creation is designed to give you a complete
manifestation program that explains a much deeper connection between success and
the immutable laws of the universe. It delves into the one-on-one connection
between thought, feeling, action, and results.
…If you are SERIOUS about changing your life and moving up to the next level
of success – this is the program for you!

Big Mind/Big Heart Revealed

While I’m not a Buddhist, I often seem to find myself drawn to Buddhist teachings to help define my own spirituality. Recently, I came across a two DVD set called Big Mind/Big Heart Revealed. The DVDs are powerful. Simply put, Zen Master Genpo Roshi calls upon various parts of our being (The Controller, The Fixer, The Damaged Self, Big Heart, etc) and allows that part of us to speak. This helps make one much more aware of where the feelings and thoughts we have originate. After watching these DVDs, I found myself more understanding and compassionate of why I react to things as I do.
From the Web site:
Dennis Genpo Merzel Roshi, one of the preeminent Zen Masters in the Western world, has developed a unique and revolutionary approach for transmitting the authentic teachings that emerged from Buddha’s enlightenment experience. With a mastery born of more than thirty years of teaching, Genpo Roshi has enabled thousands of participants in Big Mind workshops to gain profound insights and taste for themselves the illuminating experience from which Buddhism and all the world’s great religions originate. In The Big Mind DVD Roshi leads us on a voyage of self-discovery through the basic aspects of mind that he often explores in his workshops. The first disc takes participants through the personal, dualistic, aspects of mind; the second through the transpersonal, transcendent.

In April, 2006, I got the chance to attend Cheryl Richardson’s
