I appreciate the presentation of the work. The background music accompaniment is very distracting for me, sorry. Prefer just the reading. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt words and generous donation! I'm truly grateful to hear that my meditations bring you such peace and healing. Your support means the world to me! 🥰💙
I'm sorry you saw it that way. My aim was to inform people what they might be experiencing due to blocked chakras and what we are attempting to do by unblocking them. The actual meditation part moves away from that though and focuses on feeling. I hope you find a channel that works for you. Wishing you the best! 🙏
I gotta say a huge thank you for your part in my journey. I’m a recovering alcoholic, and I’d already been listening to your meditations a year or 2 ago to help me sleep before I quit drinking. It helped my sleepless nights become bearable.. One thing I’d wondered was whether I’d still enjoy guided meditations sober in the same way - I found I didn’t.. in fact, I’ve found it more so impactful towards my recovery. 9 months, 1 week and 1 day sober now, it is part of my 1 hr powernap / meditation after work, I feel connected in spirit somehow, and am able to “let go” as you guide us through it. When I don’t do it, or skip a day, something feels off. You’ve also made one of my “3 gratitudes a day” lists I tell my sponsor daily. So yes, THANK YOU, Ariadne, for helping me to heal and be a better version of this vessel I am responsible for.
Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt journey with me. I’m deeply moved to hear how the meditations have been a part of your path to recovery and wellness. Congratulations on your sobriety-that’s a monumental achievement, and I'm honored to be included in your daily practice of gratitude and self-care. It’s truly inspiring to hear how you’ve connected with the meditations more profoundly in your sober state and how they help you maintain balance and inner peace. Remember, it’s okay to have days when you can't adhere to your routine-what matters most is your commitment to your well-being, which clearly shines through. Thank you once again for your kind words and for letting me be a part of your healing process. Keep nurturing your spirit, and continue to be the wonderful caretaker of the vessel you are responsible for. Here’s to many more moments of peace and enlightenment on your journey.
I am looking forward to the rest of your translation of the Kybalion book...i am going to order it in Dutch to kind of transcend the illusionary language barrier😅
Hey, I had a question for you. This might sound silly, but it has only now been brought to my attention that the approaching eclipse might tie in to certain transformations happening in the moment. I really hadn't considered it to have any significance as I'm not a follower of astrology, but the correlations I'm seeing are interesting. I wasn't planning to even bother trying to see it, but do you think there's anything we should do to acknowledge its significance? I say it may sound silly because somehow I suddenly feel like it may have something I need, or like a communication needs to take place? It's an odd feeling, with a bit of urgency even. I'm surprised to be so late in sensing it if there's anything to it, but as I say, I really don't follow astrology. In any case, you may know how I've struggled a bit recently, of course associated with the self imposed upheaval of my own being, so if there's any assistance to be had, it would be welcome at this time. Your input would be greatly valued, have a wonderful day!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Maybe I could channel a meditation for the eclipse and see who it calls to. I really like that idea. I will work on that this weekend and have it ready to go live for the eclipse. Thank you!!!
@@WillowBendZen Hey, I hope everything is ok, it's been a while! I did realize the significance of the eclipse, I hope it was amazing for you as well. I mentioned communication, that was key. I took the opportunity of the alignment as a kind of gravitational lens, to broadcast my intention of higher purpose and ask for support and assistance towards it. It has been actually life changing, and I find myself on a path to a higher level of self actualization with greater ease than ever before! I can hardly believe how powerful it's been. Just wanted to let you know, looking forward to your next video!
Another great one, I do look forward to these! I've come to think of our physical plane of the universe as a kind of game with a game board (time and space), a set of pieces (particles and elements), and a specific set of rules (science) that define our reality. The purpose of the game is to play it, and have the experience it offers, just like any game. The object of the game (winning) is to gain insight into being itself, to explore one single aspect of that being to the greatest extent possible. This is the idea that "Life is for Living", and the guidance to "Live life to the fullest." This is why every life and every moment is precious, because every bit of it is a unique and extraordinary experience of being that lends itself to this great mind we have referred to here as "The All". Knowing that we are both the player and the objective of this game lets us win as we can fully experience everything our world has to offer. Knowing that it is a game lets us play without fear of losing, because we win with every breath, every ray of sun on our face, and even when this round ends, there are countless more, and other games even. You can end the game with the most hotels, or you can end the game in jail, but if you play your best game until the very last turn, you win.
Thank you for sharing your story. starting my own journey years ago, I’d get overwhelmed, not understanding the meaning of meditation at its core. Fumbled through several guided meditations, from several different creators and never getting anywhere, always seeming like it was either a waste of time or making things worse. I had big issues with most audio in recording causing anxiety and violently waking, until I came across something you made. Your work has helped me in so many ways over the years, and I’ve personally enjoyed listening to it evolve into what it’s became. It’s kind of nice to understand the person behind the recordings. Thanks for making the choice to be a teacher. You’re amazing at it. :)
I'm deeply touched by your kind words and grateful that my work has been a positive influence on your journey. It's heartwarming to hear how you've overcome challenges with meditation and found solace in the stillness. Your feedback is incredibly motivating and reinforces my passion for sharing this practice. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for your appreciation. It's truly an honor to be a part of your journey.
There is the brain & there is the mind , they interact but are independent . The mind is the translator of spirit impulses . It is true the origins of many scientific disciplines have their origins ibn the Ancient knowledge . it was mostly psychological I like where U are going as I was once at that point of perception . However the discovery of the advanced Theological principle of "Universe Organization " , fully organizes all chronological history , Planetary & cosmic histories .What is true is that there are only two types of beings in existence , Mortals & immortals . Immortals are created beings & administrate in mathematical , mechanical reality . On Every inhabited worlds the beings are originally of evolutionary origins . WE are indeed limited by time & space as we discuss the human potential exposed by the Hermetic teachings . I derive at that point by recognizing the potential of God in Man .but respect the Hermetic approach & have practiced halogenic , thank U .
Yikes, if I would have known the content of this chapter, I wouldn't have bothered making my previous comment! As a stream of consciousness off the cuff internet comment, it is much less eloquent than the way presented here, and a bit of a spoiler to boot, haha. I hope my rough cut expression hasn't disrupted anything, let me know if it has, and I can pare it down to just my compliments. You have my compliments again of course, and hopefully a well deserved donation at some point, as my bank account finds its way lol.
Interesting. A few years ago something woke me up from an afternoon nap with the words, "Give ear to my words." I thought that was a funny way to put it, but now it makes more sense.
