Happy New Week!

In this week's Monday Morning Meditation (Mmm!), we continue our practice of simply being quiet.

https://youtu.be/moqFw9jCF28

I pulled out my Spiritual Power Tools book to share what I opened to this morning: the chapter called "From Intellect to Intuition". In this chapter, author and spiritual teacher Jane Hart describes intellect as the "intelligence of the personality" and the intuition is the "intelligence of the soul." Brilliant!

When the mind (intellect) is busy, it is filling us with information based in the past, or imaginings of the future. It is not pulling from what IS in the present moment.

The quiet within is our place of receptivity. As we quiet the body, quiet the mind, we are open to creative solutions in the present moment. Our meditation practice develops our ability to be present, receptive, quiet.

Enjoy this quiet time, and tap into throughout your day and week!

Thank you for sharing in this time with me! I am grateful to walk through this new year with you! See you in two weeks!

With love and gratitude,

~ Lynn

Happy New Week!

In this week's Monday Morning Meditation (Mmm!), we practice simply being quiet.

We often focus on watching our thoughts come and go, and that is a wonderful part of meditation practice. AND, today, we are focusing not on the thoughts, but on the quiet underneath the thoughts.

The quiet within is nourishing, restoring, uplifting, solution-receiving, and clarity-producing. Enjoy this quiet time, and tap into throughout your day and week!

Thank you for sharing in this time with me! I am grateful to walk through this new year with you! See you next week!

With love and gratitude,

~ Lynn

Happy New Week!

In this week's Monday Morning Meditation (Mmm!), we practice our “observer self” — the part of us that can step back and gently notice our thoughts and emotions instead of reacting to them. I shared a brief personal (humorous now, not so much back then) story to highlight how fear can rush us into action, and how pausing can open the door to clearer, wiser choices.

We then worked with slow breathing and a return to the present moment, inviting a sense of safety and calm in simply being here now.

Carry this awareness into your daily life, taking a breath before responding, and making decisions from a place of clarity rather than emotional reactivity.

Thank you for sharing in this time with me! I am grateful to walk through this new year with you! See you next week!

With love and gratitude,

~ Lynn

Happy New Year!

In this week's Monday Morning Meditation (Mmm!), we practice our real AI -- Authentic Inner Guidance!

https://youtu.be/kI4Vhwq6OxE

Here's the article I refer to in our time together:

https://time.com/7345147/we-need-meditation-in-the-ai-era/

AI is coming at us left and right, suggesting, adding, making stuff up... and that's not all that much different than our own minds do! The mind worries about the future and gets stuck in emotions from the past, bringing both past and future into our present moment experience, causing us to add the imaginary future or long-over past to our current experience. And THAT is the real artificial intelligence--the emotion-laden memories and the imaginary future!

Meditation helps us strengthen our discernment muscle by watching those thoughts coming and going, while practicing remaining powerfully present in the stillness of our center within.

We are bombarded with artificial information and emotionally-charged situations on the outside, and--when we aren't paying attention--the same is coming at us from within our own mind-space!

Meditation is our key to rising above both external and internal commotion, strengthening our access to peace, clarity, and better solutions.

Give meditation a try! Start with five minutes everyday, simply watching your breath and/or your thoughts. Five minutes is huge if you don't already have a practice.

If you are already a meditator, your meditation time is more important than ever! Keep it up!

Thank you for sharing in this time with me! I am grateful to walk through this new year with you! See you next week!

With love and gratitude,

~ Lynn

Happy New Year!

In this week's Monday Morning Meditation (Mmm!), we begin this new year full of new possibilities by listening for our new year intention!

This is different than a new year's resolution. We are not committing to outer goals; we are claiming one inner goal that we know we want to develop within ourselves through the experiences (no matter what they are) of this year.

I shared mine as an example for how to listen for your word or statement that will guide you through this year. My word for this year is "Focus", meaning focusing inwardly vs outwardly.

Maybe it's a word, phrase, mantra, goal. Use the meditation to listen, and be sure to write it down and post it where you can refocus on it again and again through the year.

Here's a recent tidbit I wrote on this: https://lynnbarrette.wordpress.com/2026/01/01/emotional-healing-is-the-new-self-care/

What is your inner commitment for this year?

What actions do you need to take each day to help this intention come to fruition?

I would love to hear how you are going to love yourself this year by supporting your expansion!

Thank you for sharing in this time with me! I am grateful to walk through this new year with you!

Happy holidays! See you next week!

~ Lynn
