Stress Therapy with Cheri Flake: Meditation & Stress Relief for Real Life1 Jul

Bliss Blips

Hey beautiful people! What if you didn't have to lure anything into this moment — no worry, no anxiety, no "hurry up and get to the next thing" — and what if the good stuff started showing up on its own? In this mini meditation episode, I talk about taking custody of your own consciousness, getting out of the hurry-up cycle, and learning to just sit in right now. There's only one Now, baby, and it's right here. Stick around for the little guided meditation at the end. In this episode:

The "hurry up" trap — how we rush through every single moment to get to the next one, only to rush through that one too
Wherever you go, there you are: why nothing actually happens in the past or the future, only right now
Eckhart Tolle's simplest doorway into the present — just ask yourself, "Am I still breathing?"
Puppies versus politics — choosing what you let into your moment, being for peace instead of against war
Bliss blips: those little unprovoked blips of bliss that show up for no reason at all, and why they're tied straight to your meditation practice
A short guided meditation using a soft drishti, an environmental scan, and the Om Shanti mantra

Mentions and shoutouts:

Joe Dispenza and the retreat that stuck with me
Wherever You Go, There You Are (I'm pretty sure that's Jon Kabat-Zinn)
Eckhart Tolle, Yogananda, Dan Siegel's "flip your lid," and Mother Teresa's "I won't march against war, but I'll march for peace"
The Vedas on life as a show we get to watch
