One Mind Live Pre-session Podcast

This episode was originally broadcast Jul 1, 2016 What do not getting on a flight and composing music all have in common? They can both be the result of listening to your intuition! So we know it’s a valuable thing to do – but it can be one that’s easier said than done. What if the airline won’t let you take the next flight without paying all over again? What if you just can’t seem to get in the groove? In this pre-session we tackle the difficulty we can sometimes encounter when we’re trying to tell the difference between what our intuition is telling us and what our minds are telling us… About our Pre-Sessions: Every week, for 15 minutes or so before we began our group meditation broadcast, we opened the mics so that our members tuning in for the session could listen in while we talked about what was going on for us personally and spiritually, and what trends we were noticing.

This episode was originally broadcast Jun 24, 2016 In this pre-session we straddle the equator to discuss the meanings of an expectations for how to manage/cope with/survive this powerful whammy of a combo: Summer Solstice if you’re in the northern hemisphere and Winter Solstice if you’re in the southern hemisphere, ‘downundah’ with us! Listen in to hear how Naomi C describes the experience of Northerners as “the peak of the party”, find out what going inward to face the shadow means for us Southerners… About our Pre-Sessions: Every week, for 15 minutes or so before we began our group meditation broadcast, we opened the mics so that our members tuning in for the session could listen in while we talked about what was going on for us personally and spiritually, and what trends we were noticing.

This episode was originally broadcast Jun 17, 2016 We cover so much territory in this Pre-session, from Krishna to Tony Robbins. Listen along as we track the core essence of LOA (the Law of Attraction) as it pertains not only to attracting those we need into our lives but also in the way it makes those we need in our lives appear more attractive to us! During this chat Naomi C got “that scholar look” on her face and reflected on a new friendship, Stephen brought up the subject of how LOA played an important part in the creation of One Mind Live (juicy backstory!), and Naomi J highlighted the difference between the attracting power of thinking about what you want and feeling the joy of already having (and shared a cool trick for how to do this… About our Pre-Sessions: Every week, for 15 minutes or so before we began our group meditation broadcast, we opened the mics so that our members tuning in for the session could listen in while we talked about what was going on for us personally and

This episode was originally broadcast Jun 10, 2016 It’s a term that gets thrown around alot – “I can’t deal with negative people” – but in this pre-session we take a closer look at what it really means to us to deal with so-called “negative people”, what is really going on in us that makes it hard to do it and what is really going on in us that makes us perceive the negativity we see in others. That’s the complex part, which we spend some time considering before getting to the nitty gritty of how to actually deal with negative people. Listen in to get some positive info on this subject… About our Pre-Sessions: Every week, for 15 minutes or so before we began our group meditation broadcast, we opened the mics so that our members tuning in for the session could listen in while we talked about what was going on for us personally and spiritually, and what trends we were noticing.

This episode was originally broadcast Jun 3, 2016 We hear those words “love, honor and cherish” and “act honorably” and “honorable discharge” and the word “honor” (or, here in Australia “honour”) and don’t often reflect on what it really means so we do that in today’s pre-session. Just in time to honor our 2nd birthday in a way that is mindful of the meaning of the word. To find out what that meaning entails for us, listen to this pre-session now and celebrate with us!….

This episode was originally broadcast May 27, 2016 What do you revere? Does reverence seem hierarchical to you? Do you avoid it or seek out the feeling? Some of us try to feel it but can’t. Today we discuss the whole idea of reverence, what it brings to our lives and our spiritual practice and how to access the feeling…and the angel in Stephen’s mother-in-law’s dementia ward that seems to have reverence down to an art.

This episode was originally broadcast May 20, 2016 Nothing like the subject of getting pissed off to get us…laughing. Laughing about our human frailty and foibles. Today we talked about the whole sticky subject of getting triggered by others, what it’s like, what’s really going on with the ego, and – more importantly – what we can do about it. We ended up agreeing that pre-trigger strategies are important but that they have to have certain key features or they just won’t work in those moments when we’re seeing red (or are in some other way being activated). Listen in to hear what they are and let us know if you agree below..

This episode was originally broadcast May 13, 2016 Do you hate routine or do you love it? And what part to do hate or love – the fact of the repetition or the things, themselves, that you have to repeat? Stephen came in to the studio with this one and the need to vent and rail against the insult to creativity and spontaneity that routine, at face value, is. But, as so often happens when we apply our three-way lens, the problem morphed into a solution. Listen to this pre-session to hear how we managed to turn changing the sheets into a moment of enlightenment…again and again….

This episode was originally broadcast May 6, 2016 Out your inner victim! In this pre-session, we talk about how, why and what it feels like to own that little sad voice that says “nobody appreciates me” and “bad things always happen to me” – and how to transform the victim into a victor. It’s all about empowerment…and, apparently, the Ice Age (you had to be there). For such a fraught topic, we sure had a lot of laughs with this one. Listen now and comment below to tell us what you think… About our Pre-Sessions: Every week, for 15 minutes or so before we began our group meditation broadcast, we opened the mics so that our members tuning in for the session could listen in while we talked about what was going on for us personally and spiritually, and what trends we were noticing.

This episode was originally broadcast Apr 29, 2016 It’s a numbers game and we’re thrilled to find ourselves at cool 100 after almost two years of weekly live meditation broadcasts. So, naturally, we examine why that number has meaning for us. Why 100 and not 97? Do numbers have vibrations? Is it about looking forward or about looking backwards? It comes down to time. We each have our own take on the meaning of time, accomplishments, measurements of success – and how it feels to be here… About our Pre-Sessions: Every week, for 15 minutes or so before we began our group meditation broadcast, we opened the mics so that our members tuning in for the session could listen in while we talked about what was going on for us personally and spiritually, and what trends we were noticing.

This episode was originally broadcast Apr 22, 2016 Morning Mindfulness practices past and present…How many of us begin the day with ‘blah!’ running out the door with our big to-do list, stress and our thoughts everywhere else but here. In this session, we explore some tools on how to bring mindfulness and sweetness to the beginning of the day, that spread to the rest of the day. Marianne Williamson’s prayer “Illuminata” features as one of these tools and Steve and Naomi J share how to shift and raise your vibration to feel the cellular buzz… About our Pre-Sessions: Every week, for 15 minutes or so before we began our group meditation broadcast, we opened the mics so that our members tuning in for the session could listen in while we talked about what was going on for us personally and spiritually, and what trends we were noticing.

This episode was originally broadcast Apr 15, 2016 Stephen’s music for today’s OML meditation is “Ancestors Rising” so it was a natural topic to address. He’s been feeling his grandmother around him lately and wanted to honor her. This sparked a discussion about the nature, relevance and attitudes towards ancestors – from modern times to indigenous cultures. Do you feel your ancestors are important to you or are they faces in an album, names in the uppermost slots of the family tree diagram, distant contributors of DNA? Or do you feel they’ve got your back in the here and now?

This episode was originally broadcast Apr 8, 2016 Are you in touch with your feminine side? What about your masculine side? Naomi C did a retreat which focused her on this issue in her own life and relationships and brings it to the table in today’s pre-session chat. We explore some of the labels and expectations that come with the energies of “masculine” and “feminine” and Naomi J saw a startling study about men’s stated versus observed preferences in terms of intelligence in a female partner and Stephen reconnected with an ancient Chinese goddess… About our Pre-Sessions: Every week, for 15 minutes or so before we began our group meditation broadcast, we opened the mics so that our members tuning in for the session could listen in while we talked about what was going on for us personally and spiritually, and what trends we were noticing.

This episode was originally broadcast Apr 1, 2016 I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you….and other mantras we here at OML have either gleefully discovered – or made up!

This episode was originally broadcast Mar 25, 2016 It’s Good Friday here in Australia as we contemplate what the meanings are, for us, of this “dark” day and the “light” day to come on Sunday. Our members hail from different religious backgrounds and foregrounds and Easter means different things to different people. To a lot of us it means…chocolate! But beyond that, whether you call yourself religious or spiritual or something else entirely, the stars are aligning (in Stephen’s case “the east stars”) and there is meaning in this time… About our Pre-Sessions: Every week, for 15 minutes or so before we began our group meditation broadcast, we opened the mics so that our members tuning in for the session could listen in while we talked about what was going on for us personally and spiritually, and what trends we were noticing.

This episode was originally broadcast Mar 18, 2016 No matter how hard Naomi C tried, she just could not rein in the silliness of Naomi J and Steve today. The topic was moving – how hard it is to move house and maintain some sense of presence and sanity amidst the chaos – and it wasn’t until 3/4 of the way through the pre-session that we realized we’d just been gossiping and laughing. Oops. But then, somehow, as it always does, it all came together into a message (apologies to Pat)… About our Pre-Sessions: Every week, for 15 minutes or so before we began our group meditation broadcast, we opened the mics so that our members tuning in for the session could listen in while we talked about what was going on for us personally and spiritually, and what trends we were noticing.

This episode was originally broadcast Mar 4, 2016 Belly laughs and goofing around during this pre-session chat – and a little ditty to boot!

This episode was originally broadcast Feb 26, 2016 Arrgh! Not one of us has been sleeping well at night – not for days. Naomi Carling’s excuse is two small children but Stephen and Naomi J are usually head-hits-the-pillow sleepers. Not for the past 5 days, though. We are honestly perplexed. Is this some kind of cosmic upgrade symptom? Is it this super powerful full moon? Is it something in the water here in Robertson?

This episode was originally broadcast Feb 19, 2016 We all try to make our decisions based on following our bliss, or our hearts, but how often is it the amygdala (the “fight or flight” part of the brain) that’s really running the show? And how can you tell the difference? In this pre-session, we tackle those and other questions you can ask yourself to know if fear is getting in the way of pursuing your life’s purpose… About our Pre-Sessions: Every week, for 15 minutes or so before we began our group meditation broadcast, we opened the mics so that our members tuning in for the session could listen in while we talked about what was going on for us personally and spiritually, and what trends we were noticing.
