With a daily meditation practice we create more space through the mind and the breath; to be fully present and come back into in alignment with our true essence and authenticity. 

We begin to flow in harmony and balance with life and at the same time, we come into a higher state of gratitude, self-awareness, emotional balance and self-regulation which helps us better manage and cope with stress and challenges more gracefully without reacting to them.  

Remember, know that you are loved always. :-)!  Dr. K

Center Yourself in The Present Moment Meditation

Center Yourself in The Present Moment Meditation

Watch this episode on YouTube

Today I invite you to ground and center yourself in the present moment and be a witness to your own thoughts, emotions and your own healing unfolding. Life can be challenging, however when we allow ourselves to slow down and just be present , we begin to see clearly the depths of our inner-peace. 


I know you’ve been craving transformation and healing and perhaps mindfulness meditation is one tool that may be helpful to keep your moment going along your healing journey through daily practice and persistence. 


Mindfulness is a way of paying attention, on purpose and without judgement, to what goes on in the present moment in your body, mind and your outside environment.  It involves intentionally stepping out of ‘automatic pilot mode’ to be present, aware and responsive. 

In this present moment meditation for beginners, I invite to discover "presence";  in your being-ness just as you are. Simply sit without judgement and with a level of patience and compassion for yourself. I hope it brings just a little more peace in your day.


Mindfulness meditation is a discipline that can lead to profound self-awareness, inner healing and personal growth. You can access steps to heal yourself or others and this can be life changing. Are you ready to take action and start your healing journey today?

Watch this guided meditation on YouTube

What intentions are you ready to bring in your life in 2023 and beyond?✨💥

What do you desire or want in your life; keeping in mind your highest good will always come to fruition in its own perfect timing.  

Creative visualization in meditation entails picturing in your mind something you want such as a mental image of an intention or a goal you desire to achieve.   

Feel your intention in your body and your body sensations as the feeling mode increases the power of visualization and manifestation.  

Every time we do a visualization, we are planting a seed. Visualization is a powerful tool to shape your present and future goals.   

Truly ask for what you desire or want in your life!   


Peace & Blessings Have a happy and safe New Year 2023!

75. Ancient Wisdom & The 5 Elements: How to Harmonize Your Emotions and Body (Holistic Self-Care)

75. Ancient Wisdom & The 5 Elements: How to Harmonize Your Emotions and Body (Holistic Self-Care)

Watch this episode presentation with slides on YouTube

The level of chronic stress and busy lifestyles that we lead today can easily cause imbalances in the 5 elements of earth and our body. My purpose today is to briefly explain these elements and how to balance them with physical, emotional and spiritual self care practices .

Ancient traditions such as Ayurveda teaches us to live in harmony with nature, having a lifestyle that is aligned with our 5 elements, providing us with many tools to have a happier existence through self-care practices including prayer, meditation, Yoga etc...

 Ayurveda is the sister science to yoga based on ancient text of observing the body and human behaviors and how minds and energy respond to different methods such as energetic, spiritual and physical methods. 

In Sanskrit, “Ayur” means life and “Veda” means science or knowledge and is commonly translated as “science of life.” 

A more subtle and beautiful definition is “knowledge of longevity.” Ayurveda is Indian classical medicine, dating back more than 6,000 years.

74. The Hidden Treasures of the Subconscious Mind: Unlocking Your Healing and Happiness

Watch this episode on YouTube 


Most people underestimate the power of the subconscious mind and you may have been led to believe that it is a negative aspect of the mind… .or a hidden mystery of the shadow self……but yet it has so much positive effect over the way our mind functions –how we can eliminate our negative thinking habits, to achieve our goals, to be more creative…..to bring back a state of awareness and higher consciousness! 


We are in a time in human consciousness where we are really embracing what it is to be a spiritual being having a human experience. The vibration of many people are shifting into higher states of energy…we are establishing new ways to interpret the great mysteries of life and the great mysteries of the great past of our ancestors. To understand where we came from and who we really are…and deeply rooted in our subconscious mind are hidden treasures of a return back to who we are and our true power.

72. Uncovering the Hidden Stressors of the Mind

72. Uncovering the Hidden Stressors of the Mind

Watch this episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/WlfR7WyncKc


There is an opportunity for awareness and upshifting our thinking to overcome stress, anxiety, depression and even chronic disease symptoms. 


In this video, I discuss some of the hidden stressors of the mind and how one can begin upshifting there thinking through challenging one's underlying beliefs, values and conditioned perceptions through cognitive restructuring.


After viewing this video, I challenge you to ink back throughout your life’s history and recall moments where you had a set-back and or even success in your relationships, your career, your health your finances, or you experienced a significant change  or transition in your life.


-How did you act, react or respond? 

-What inactions did you take? 

-What were your beliefs surrounding it? 

-How did you feel about yourself during these moments…how did you feel in your body?  

-What were the sensations you felt in your body as a result of this set-back or success?


As you go through this activity, choose 3 beliefs and 3 actions/or inactions that conflict with your true essence or that conflict with your intentions and goals for your well-being in every area of your life and begin to substitute a more accurate view of these events to come to a healthier state of mind.


Through this activity you are beginning the steps of cognitively restructuring your brain. And by challenging those assumptions surrounding stress you can view situations more accurately .

Mindful Movement Meditation for Stress Relief & Holistic Healing

Mindful Movement Meditation for Stress Relief & Holistic Healing

Watch this episode on YouTube
{Rights to use this music through audio--"Healing Light Relaxing Meditation" by jjessep):
Today, I challenge you to spend time doing a form of mindful movement or exercise. (Always consult with a physician before beginning any new exercise activity).
Mindful movement can have a major influence and a cascade effect on every area of your life including your relationships, your career, your sense of health and wellbeing, your ability to cope with stress and uncertainty in your life. It can help you train your brain to be more responsive to experiences and not reactive to what’s happening internally and externally.
Example of mindful movements:

Yoga
Walking
Tai Chi
Qi Gong
Dancing
Swimming
Gardening
Bike Riding
Aerobic Exercises
Lifting Weights


Whatever activity you choose today, move and breathe in a way that shifts you into being fully present in the now.
Remember as you go through these activities just notice what sensations and emotions arise without judging the experience.

Follow these steps:


Step 1- Take a few slow deep breaths
Step 2.-- Begin to simply notice what sensations you feel in your body as you begin to move mindfully…(for example simply say to yourself I notice tingling, vibration and warmth in my calf and thighs as I begin to stretch or wall)
Step 3- Stay mindful and focused on your breathing pattern as you move. Noticing the change in the rhythm of your breath as you move
Step 4- Bring your awareness back to the sensations of each part of your body moving from your feet to your crown as you learned in the body scan. Just be with the experience of mindfully moving and not judging the experience as good or bad. Notice if you have a sense of gratitude as you move.
Step 5- Notice how movement makes you feel emotionally. What thoughts and emotions arise as you move? Let the thoughts come and go like clouds floating in the sky.
Step 6- If your mind wonders, bring your attention to your breath and your body sensations as you move
Step 7- As you finish your mindful movement, simply notice how you feel after. (What sensations do you feel in your body now? Notice the level of your mood).


Overall, notice how your mindful movement made you feel overall in your entire body in general, in your mind and in your spirit. Notice if the mindful movement helped you become more aware of self in the moment.


Did it help you flow easier through your day?
Were you able to cultivate mindful breathing with a sense of calm, more energy and vitality, and a greater sense of peace?


Remember to journal about your experience today! Remember to take your mindful moment with you throughout each day!

Watch this episode on YouTube  https://youtu.be/Pg1EA_Wzq64

When we experience anxiety, discomfort, excessive stress, pain, illness or injury, grief or a life transition, there can be a disruption in the vital flow of human energy that is normally a continuous whole state. When the biofield  is altered this can impact our personal well-being, our personal health status, energy level and one's quality of life.

70. The Microbiome & Lymphatic System: Healing Chronic & Autoimmune Disease Naturally

70. The Microbiome & Lymphatic System: Healing Chronic & Autoimmune Disease Naturally

Watch this episode on YouTube  https://youtu.be/qHQUm-uVQtA

At the heart of the immune system/lymphatic system is the balance of energies that flow through the body and mind; innately designed to keep you healthy. When the immune systems (microbiome and the lymphatic system) are in balance, the body naturally rids itself of toxins and protects the body from dis-ease where a state of health can be achieved. When the immune system is plagued with unhealed trauma, emotional baggage and toxic-chronic oxidative stress and psychological stress it begins attacking itself.   

Knowing a little about how these systems work in concert can help you bring your own body and emotions back to healing. Also knowing a little bit about Ayurveda and your unique body constitution/doshas can help you gain a deeper understanding of what your unique body needs (as we are all unique and what works well for one may not for another). The body is complex and eating nutritious foods, getting adequate movement and rest can also help lower your stress for optimal health of your microbiome and immune system.

Watch this episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/Zr_8TXcNo-A

What are you desiring to heal from?  What are you hoping to embrace more of in your life? 

The human body was innately designed to self-heal. External approaches are often a band aid solution. When you begin tapping into your own power within, you can reawaken your natural healer within. Healing is an inside job and all that it requires is setting an intention daily to create  a nurturing space for yourself to go within and tap into your Divine energy flow. 

In this episode, I talk about why we don't engage in self-healing practices and I offer a few ways to begin channeling your own energy.

BONUS: Body Scan Meditation for Inner-Awareness

BONUS: Body Scan Meditation for Inner-Awareness

View this meditation on Youtube and subscribe! 

Today, in this bonus episode, we are going to practice a mindful body scan. (Do this practice while not driving). This activity will help you bring your awareness inward. Usually, our attention jumps around between the mind and the external world, so we want to start to bring it inward. The body scan is also one of the simplest and most effective techniques to prepare the mind and body for meditation. While many people find the body scan relaxing, relaxation is not the primary goal. The goal is to train the mind to be more open and aware of sensory experiences—and ultimately, more accepting. With time and practice, the body scan will build your ability to focus and be fully present in your life.

To practice a body scan, we are simply observing the sensations and feelings of the body. We focus our attention at the different parts of the body and the sensations associated with that part of the body.  As a result, we allow the body to relax as we focus. We often develop adverse relationships with our bodies and mindfulness can be used to bring back appreciation and gratitude for the body.

The Benefits of the Body Scan Practice:

•Enhances your ability to bring your full attention to real-time experiences happening in the present moment—helpful when emotions or thoughts are heightened.

•Trains to explore and be with pleasant and unpleasant sensations, learning to notice what happens when we stick with the practice and feel what’s going on in the body without trying to fix or change anything.

Steps of Body Scan

  • Step 1: Sit or lie down with a straight spine and take a couple of deep breaths to relax. You can also lie down if you need to but its best to keep the spine erect so you don’t fall asleep.
  • Step 2: Bring your attention to the feet. Notice any sensations you can feel there. Here are some things you might feel: pressure, tingling, hot, cold, vibrating, touching (ground etc.). Notice what you feel without judging. Just witness.
  • Step 3: Consciously relax the feet, then move up to the next body part (ankles)
  • Step 4: Repeat moving up to each different body part (ankles, shins, knees, thighs, hips, stomach etc. all the way up to the crown of the head)
  • Step 5: Feel the whole body as an energy field and enjoy the feeling of being in your relaxed body.

62. Healing Ancestral & Tribal Disease and Trauma

Watch this episode on YouTube. https://youtu.be/zv8Gis-NGdY

In this episode, I explain how we are deeply connected to the consciousness of our family, ancestral and tribal unit. Unconsciously we carry the strength, beliefs, superstitions, fears, attitudes and perceptions; we carry all of this in our cells, our DNA, in our body and in our energy center. Due to strong energetic entanglement or  interconnectedness we also take on energetically the effects of disease and illness. 

This energetic phenomena helps to explain why certain diseases are activated by generational trauma and ancestral, family & tribal issues.  Energy medicine is a therapeutic practice that can get to the root  and release unconscious energies that may predispose us to certain illnesses and diseases related to collected consciousness.

Watch the episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/bGssO47xzD0

Grounding/Earthing can invite peace, healing and presence in the mind, body, soul and spirit. It’s not surprising that nature has a therapeutic effect when you consider that the human race — and all our evolutionary forebears — have been closely bonded with it for all our existence.   

The human body, just like nature, is made up of the five elements earth, water, fire, air and space…which 75-90% of is mostly water…Indigenous cultures have always understood this and the significant bond between humans, creation and nature.  Being out in nature is like going back home, and it fills us with the same sense of safety and belonging. This almost always gives me a sense that “all is well" in my life!  

Nature reminds us to be in the present and experience a connection to “something other than ourselves,” “a higher power” that draws us to a wider perspective. Being in nature reminds us that there’s so much more going on than just our own issues or challenges of the day.  Consider these elements of nature:  

-Nature is an embodiment of the mind, soul, body and spirit 

-Nature has healing-vibrational effects from the: trees, flowers, soil, grass, water, air, ground.  

-Nature can help expand the discovery of Self, self-acceptance and personal perspectives on life challenges. 

-Nature invites deep connections and belongingness through its' healing properties and with our creator and humanity.

Our emotional wellbeing isn’t in the hands of our external circumstances: we have the power to choose how to react in every given situation. Emotions are not to be feared they are simply energy in motion and are messengers that simply remind us to realign to our nature essence of love, harmony and peace.  In this episode, I talk about mindful ways to be more accepting of your emotions and to not resist them where much of our suffering and stress stems from.

56. Boosting Your Energy With High Vibrational Foods

56. Boosting Your Energy With High Vibrational Foods

Are you feeling low on energy due to chronic stress? 

Ancient cultures throughout time understood the importance of consuming high vibrational foods (natural and closest to the earth and sun) and how the food we eat affects our individual energy centers within the body and around the body. 

When the human energy field is disrupted it creates disharmony within the body, mind, and spirit and leads to illness and disease. 

Usually the human biofield (auric field) and the energy centers within the body can maintain its own balance and harmony however when there is a crisis, illness, chronic stress, trauma or disruption from unhealthy foods, chemicals, additives, drugs and medications these events constantly drain our energy centers.

This creates imbalance and disharmony in the energy field, the brain and the body which can significantly effect our personal well-being, our overall quality of living and even our personal health status.

In this episode Dr. K offers suggestions on high vibrational foods and ways to incorporate mindful eating and gratitude into your daily eating routine.

Improve Your Life & Health with Reiki

Reiki is life force energy that can bring you back to a state of balance and wholeness. Reiki is an evidence-based- Japanese healing technique for pain, stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing for the mind, body, soul and spirit in conjunction with traditional medicine. It is administered by "laying of the hands" on or slightly above the client's body. Reiki is based on the idea of an unseen and subtle "lifeforce energy" that flows through, within and around the human body.

When the 'lifeforce energy" is free and flowing, the individual feels a sense of vitality, health, wholeness and joy. When low or stagnant energy is present, the individual may suffer from depression, stress, fatigue and may be more susceptible to various illnesses and/or diseases of the mind and body.

In the context of midlife, it is important to consider the various challenges that we all commonly experience on an everyday basis to our emotional well-being. Although a growing body of research addresses the relationships between stress, health, and quality of life, there is a gap in the literature with regard to the effects of emotional stress among women at midlife.

47. How To Keep the Small Stresses of Daily Life From Disrupting Your Peace, Joy & Health- "Mindful Moment Series"

We all have the usual worries like paying bills, or dealing with loss and grief or changing careers, relationship issues etc…

👉We often think of the big life changing events and major stressors as being bad for our health but in actuality it’s those little daily stressors and annoyances like slow WiFi, waiting in traffic, constantly getting emails… social media alerts, hearing bad news all day etc… that negatively impacts our health in a big way!

👉All of these little daily stressors and annoyances add up and accumulate — keeping us in a very reactive, habitual and chronic stress response if we allow them to.

👉And you don’t have to allow it—- there are many things in life that we can not control obviously, but within you is a sanctuary of peace and the Power to choose how you relate and respond to life—-

👉Mindfulness, attitude, perception and responding without reacting are some key ways to begin protecting your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health against the little daily stressors so you can experience more ease, Joy and peace in your life…
