Touching the Stillness

We're activating our intuition during the Practice Project for May-starting with a few pointers from six-sensory-living, international spiritual teacher, and best-selling author Sonia Choquette about how to listen up and trust our vibes.

Some of us may have mastered the art of giving but when it comes to receiving we approach the prosperity stream with a meager thimble to scoop up our good. Grab a bigger container and get ready to accept more; episode guest Amanda Owen is on hand to send packing the notion that it's better to give than to receive.

Throw on your superhero cape! It's time to tune in to part three of this month's Practice Project focused on prosperity; hear why spiritual leader and author Rev. Justin Epstein encourages us to embrace our own amazing super powers-if we really want to manifest true abundance.

What is a karma kitchen? What is meant by the term "gift-economy"? And what does any of it have to do with cultivating stillness? In the second part of our Practice Project for April, Nipun Mehta, founder of the not-for-profit organization ServiceSpace, clears up the mystery as he inspires us with his guiding principles for giving and receiving-with no strings attached.

There's an English proverb that says: "The hand that gives gathers." One of the Unity movement's most renowned givers and gatherers, Rev. Edwene Gaines, offers up her own sassy brand of prosperity philosophies to launch our Practice Project for April.

In part three of our month of mantra series, acclaimed New Thought musician Karl Anthony leads us in his version of the ancient form of call-and-response chanting he dubs Mantra Kirtan. Be prepared to experience bliss!

Chanting our prayers as a prelude to meditation is not exclusive to major Eastern world religions. As chant master Michael Stillwater demonstrates in this second part of our March Practice Project, we can give voice to universal spiritual themes and facilitate our inner journey to stillness with mantras from our Western faith traditions too.

Episode guest, Ramdesh Kaur, certainly knows a thing or two when it comes to the practice of mantra as a meditation. So with mantra on our minds during this month's Practice Project, who better than the host of Spirit Voyage Radio to help us give voice to mystic melodies that provide manna for the soul.

It's not the old-fashioned school bell you'll hear ringing in your ears in preparation for this episode's meditation, but a mindfulness call to bring us back to the present moment.

Formal attire is not required for this special invitation to join our host for tea-as she uses the occasion to illustrate how to find the sacred in everyday living, as part of Touching the Stillness' Practice Project for the month of February.

We're borrowing a line from the popular Biblical Proverb that says, "Where there is no vision the people perish," and using it as inspiration to raise our intentions to new heights. Guided in a process facilitated by guest Rev. Michael Gott, we'll journey to where there's a great view of what's infinitely possible.

If you've set a freshly minted intention to start meditating or you're someone who has let your practice slip through the cracks, then this back-to-basics episode may be just what is needed to kick-start or revive your meditation practice ... when guest and Hay House author Sarah McLean introduces us to the Five Essentials of Meditation.

There's something new on the horizon for Touching the Stillness this year; and special guest Alex Sheen, founder of Because I Said I Would, joins our host to set it all in motion with an ingenious initiative designed to help us keep our word.

Our host knows it's a lot to ask-but one Christmas wish she has is that her beloved listeners will set the intention to carve out time, in all the busyness of the holiday season, to practice the art of doing nothing.

Each year we devote an episode of Touching the Stillness to listeners who are experiencing grief during the holiday period. In this broadcast we tend the grieving heart with music and meditation.
