Description

The Meditative state is your True Nature...
You are born with this state of awareness & beingness...
It is socialized out of us... We learn to over emphasize our "surface mind" or Logic mind; some say Ego Mind...
The True Ego/Personality has it's place... It is a wonderful at "To Do Lists"
It is wondeful at "knowing what has already been done before" It is wonderful as a physical manifestation of your Soul..
The true ego is your personality....it is a vehicle, a vessel for your Soul's manifestation in physical form on this material-earth plane......
However, to get to your creative insight, intuitive knowing, innovation or the center of you being you need meditation.

Meditation is the "practice" to live in the "meditative state"...

The meditation processes and focus of this book is to assist you to get back to your "True You".... Your Inner You & to live from this space of being.
And, yes, it is possible to align- attune quickly into this state... It is possible to  live in this state.... Remember it is Your True Nature...

You are simply learning to re-align & connect to this part of you....

On the first edition of this book i was actually asked to write an autobiography... i didn't think i yet, had enough to say & share in this format... During this time I was also working with a lot of clients on "stress reduction" hypnotherapy, spiritual awareness & meditation.... So many clients were saying "I don't have time", " I can't meditate", " I don't know how to", "It is too frustrating to try" and "My mind races too much"....and so on... I had come from a background of meditating for 2 1/2 hrs in the morning & 2 1/2 hrs in the evening... i had been to many meditation retreats, classes, silent retreats.. I had studied with Muktananda, Gurumayi, my Native American Elders, studied Shamanism-mysticism, spiritualism, hypnotherapy, nlp, metaphysics-many healing modalities, spiritual disciplines and philosophies. So, i was steeped in meditation....LOL... So, what was the problem??.. But there was a problem... Time, and Technique... I realized that all is consciousness... And, if meditation was our True Nature as is stated in the Buddhist Sutra.. then it is there inside us... essential is us... I also realized that it really is a falsehood that it takes a "certain amount of time" to align within... A profound realization for me was that you don't have to be a bodhisattva, ascetic, monk, priest or initiated guru to live in this state.... It is absolutely possible to live in this state and to know when you are off center and in a manner of minutes, seconds or with a simple shift in awareness, shift in consciousness to re-connect.. The focus of this book is just this... I distilled what i learned, experienced and lived for over 20 yrs and put it in a form that is not only easy to do (with practice) but is impossible not to do. :-) The breath is key... without the breath awareness there is no true alignment... So, i became impassioned... And, i caught a lot of flack.... I was told this can't be right...but it is... If it is really our "True Nature" then meditation simply helps you be "You"....Your True You... and that is much more peaceful and joyful... This doesn't mean you don't have ups and downs in your life... Or, times when you are sad or mad... It just means you don't lose your inner connection. You retain an inner peace, no matter what. You retain an awareness that you are more than your circumstances and you live with this knowing fully expressed. You remember the truth of who you are... So, I've always been a bit of a rebel and a bit ahead of the curve and so I taught this to many & many responded "I am this"... Yes.. you are this.... So, it doesn't matter if you wear white, are vegan or wear black, have a Gucci bag, Louis Vuitton, or wear hemp, do yoga, don't do yoga, do pilates, run a marathon, lift weights, drink alcohol, etc, etc... you are still spiritual... You are a spiritual being... of spirit.. and meditation is simply a way to remember the truth of who you are and make decisions and live from this awareness...

1-Michele's book is truly a fine tool for incorporating meditation practice into everyday living..and that has made a huge, positive difference in my life. The meditations, reflections, and teaching are clear, genuine and heart-felt. Rather than making meditation an isolated, internal process, this book shows how you can live a meditative life in all that you do and thus access moment by moment the deep power you possess. Indeed, if more people followed these practices, the world would live in an elevated state.--John Bertolli

6-In a recent visit to my doctor for a physical,I registered higher than usual blood pressure. I asked for 3-4 minutes, during which I focused and meditated, using one of Michele’s meditation processes. Upon re-taking my blood pressure the second reading was normal. Michele’s integrated spirituality, intelligence and highly evolved creative talents are courageously put into action with her processes.
