Have you smelled a flower today? It's the beginning of bloom season and spring is in the air. These selected poems all speak to the grounding, peaceful, restorative nature of nature.  When we spend time being mindful of our surroundings, we naturally become more mindful of ourselves. We are not separate from the earth; we are part of it, made of it, healed by it. 

This meditation is crafted to foster a sense of groundedness, mindfulness, and connection to nature. I hope you can use it to notice the energy that flows within you and without you and how they are the same. Today, perhaps you can get your bare feet on the earth, breathe in some fresh air, and take a moment to rest in the beauty all around us.

What's your relationship to money? If you're like so many people, you want it and you fear it, love the freedom it brings but hate the baggage. In this episode on the power-packed self-help book You Are A Badass At Making Money by Jen Sincero, delve deep into your beliefs about money and begin to heal your relationship with money and yourself. 

Get your values, beliefs, actions, thoughts, and words into alignment and begin to give yourself permission to be more expansive, powerful, and wealthy than you ever have before. Wealth is all around us, Sincero says, and it will come to us when we readily and full-heartedly welcome it into our lives and our pocketbooks. This episode is a step along that path where you'll find affirmations and other tools that you can use to shift your perspective on money. 

As you listen to this meditation, you'll be invited to take a closer look at what you actually think of rich people. If you have a lot of negative beliefs about rich people, odds are that you won't let yourself become one of them. Stop getting in your own way. To shift these blocks, it's up to you to decide to change your beliefs and then do it, Sincero says. She offers plenty of ways to change your thoughts about money, and in this meditation, you'll hear many of those tools at work. This book, and this episode, are not about hustling. They're about doing the inner work and letting the flow happen.

What is your deepest desire—the one that keeps you up at night because you want it so badly? Maybe you know immediately, or maybe you haven't allowed yourself to think about it for a while. In this episode on the classic short and spiritual novel The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo, allow yourself to listen to your heart and hear the dreams it is speaking to you just as Santiago does at the beginning of his journey to his own dream. 

Santiago faces great discouragements on his journey—his entire fortune is stolen from him not once, not twice, but thrice—but as he forges on, he learns that everything going on around him, even the things that seem bad at the time, is the universe's way of leading him to exactly where he needs to be. As his faith in the universe and his own heart grows stronger, Santiago becomes a master of taking leaps of faith. He transforms himself and in so doing transforms the world around him, just like a true alchemist.  

As you listen to this meditation, you'll be invited to get quiet and listen to your own deep desires in the same way that Santiago does in the book. It's this deep listening that leads him to adventure into new territories, both physical and spiritual. This episode is a reminder to listen to the deepest murmurings of desire that you feel. If you desire it, there's a reason for that and you'll make the universe a better, truer, happier place by fulfilling it.
