This episode of Consciously Speaking’s Guided Meditation Series will be led by Michael Neeley. Getting back to the basics, this meditation will focus on your breath, the most constant and noticeable aspect of our moment to moment living. In this short meditation, Michael will also introduce the So Hum mantra. From the Sanskrit, Sohum translates simply as "I am that". In its greater context, "I am all that is", speaking from your connectedness with the universe. You and the universe are inseparable, one. You are that. I am that. We are all - that. Enjoy!

Today’s guest is Christine Brondyke. Christine is a Certified Life and Relationship Coach and a Sobriety Coach For her, healing is not an outcome, it's a moment...this moment. Christine never started out to be a sobriety coach. She didn't start out in her training to be a coach at all. She only knew her own personal life wasn't working, and she was desperate to fix it. While she’s done plenty of drugs, and drank lots of alcohol, her relationship with addiction was a unique one. It was an addiction to drama. To being "Right". Christine found that we are all addicted....or 99.9% are, to something. It could be shopping, arguing, driving aggressively, hiding out, exercising or to power. And luckily, the path home is the same for every addiction. To wake up to the ways we've been avoiding living, out of a fear of being hurt.  Christine is also a dear friend of mine and you can get to know her more by checking out her site at www.HolisticSobriety.net.

Today, Michael is joined by Consciously Speaking regular, Heather Hans. Heather and Michael will be discussing asking for help - why we're sometimes reluctant to do so, when it's important to do it anyway, and how we all benefit from it. We are a society, a community - nothing is done without some form of support. We are all standing on the shoulders of our ancestors. If you think you've developed the best software app ever, and you did it all on your own; think again. What about the person who invented the computer to make your work possible? And then the person who invented the chip to make that computer possible, and the person who invented electricity to make that possible, and on and on. For clarification on the "misquote" I use in the show; here it is with accuracy (if you can believe what you find on the internet): “I’d rather have one percent of the efforts of 100 people than 100 percent of my own efforts.” - J. Paul Getty Heather Hans is a professional speaker, video host, producer, artist, and con

In Consciously Speaking's Guided Meditation Series we’ve covered all sorts of meditations with guest guides from around the globe. Today, we’re going to mix it up even further. If you are part of a mindful tribe, this may seem natural for you; and if you’re not, it may seem implausible, if not altogether impossible. However, I hope you will trust that it is something that anyone can create with simple effort. It is a social meditation. That is, sitting down with your friends and family at a gathering, perhaps a holiday event of some sort, and taking a few moments to become centered and quiet. Meditating together, generating a group presence. Today’s guided meditation will be led by Grace Clayton (Season 1, Episode 125). Grace is a leader, teacher, mentor and facilitator at OneShift, an organization devoted to empowering and igniting conscious leaders. This group meditation was recorded on the veranda of her home at an Independence Day celebratory gathering. As this meditation takes place outdoors, you may not
