Meditations for Deep Living: Your Life Matters.
April 01, 2019 / G.S. Renfrey / Podcast

Meditations for Deep Living: Your Life Matters. The second in this series of guided meditations, this cast explores why your life matters as much as anyone who lives, has lived, or will live.
In a crowded world that so often appears controlled by agencies beyond our influence, it’s far too easy for most everyone, at some point, to feel that we make no difference, that in the larger scheme of things our lives really don’t matter. It's a sad misperception because your life, all of our lives, matter to the world, to the Universe itself, in ways that you may not be aware of. This podcast consists of a brief didactic, followed by a guided meditation to help you tap into and consciously participate in the evolving consciousness of the cosmos." Read More
Meditations for Deep Living: Heeding the Call Home.
January 01, 2019 / G.S. Renfrey / Podcast

Meditations for Deep Living: Heeding the Call Home. This is the first podcast from my new series of guided meditations. This cast deals with the consequences of straying from our deepest knowing, and how to find our way home."
Within each of us is a place where, regardless of the chaos around us, we can find serenity and gratitude. In this life, our minds often take us on journeys far from this true place of belonging. Lured by promises of excitement and pleasure, driven by fears, our minds too often create pathways that we hope will lead to happiness, success in some way or another, or to safety. When we wander too far from our home ground we can become lost in the chaos of this over-stimulating world. Among the many consequence of this are feelings of emptiness and wanting. If we are not careful to pause, reflect, and find our way home, we may fall prey to generating further plans and strategies for filling the void. Like a person lost in the woods, however, scrambling in this direction and that, we only become more profoundly lost and empty. Yet no matter how lost we become, we are as little as a mindful breath away from beginning our journey home, from accessing our deepest knowing and wisdom, our only source of authentic well-being. This guided meditation will help you create an internal resource that to help you find your way home Read More
Yoga Nidra: The Art of Yogic Sleep
November 21, 2017 / G.S. Renfrey / Podcast

Yoga Nidra: The Art of Yogic Sleep is a track from the guided meditations compilation "The Path to Deep Living." Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation that can lead you to the state of consciousness between sleep and wakefulness. In that state, insight and desired change can be manifest.
Read More
Yoga Nidra stems from the ancient health practices of India and is sometimes referred to as yogic sleep. Unlike the sleep we’re accustomed to, Yoga Nidra involves inducing a state between normal sleep and wakefulness. In the West we sometimes refer to this as a hypnagogic state, a point of transition between wakeful consciousness and the unconsciousness of sleep. During the practice you may become deeply relaxed and only vaguely aware of your surroundings. At the same time, you may become conscious of some of the of some of the subtle workings of the mind, workings that usually elude our awareness because of the busyness of our day-to-day thinking. It is in this conscious sleep that the benefits of Yoga Nidra manifest.
Coming Soon

The One Year Marriage: A Formula for Enduring Love (See Books link), will be released as a chapterized audiobook.
