  • Meditation: The Ultimate Stress Buster
    Jun 25 2024
    Meditation helps with stress 100% of the time. This is mostly why everybody seems to be talking about meditation…Quite a lot. But how many people do you know they're actually doing it? Every single day? If meditation was a pill it would be a trillion dollar business! The health benefits of meditation are astounding, but only if you are actually meditating regularly and still we just can't seem to get it into our lives daily. Meditation is about as good for you as water, people! So why aren't we doing it? And more importantly, how can we get meditation into our lives for real and for good so we can reap all of those magical benefits? We will cover this today (and it's WAY easier than you think!) so you're not a poser, a wisher, a tryer, a binge meditator, a crisis meditator but an actual, daily meditator without stress, procrastination or excuses! The single most important skill to learn in order to get way better at stress is meditation! So, let's learn about AND do it, together!

  • Stress Therapy Classics ~ How I KNOW the Woo Woo is True TRUE!
    May 30 2024
    I have been using the same example for my clients to illustrate why the woo is true for YEARS and finally, in this episode I was put in the very scenario to test out all the woo! Many therapists stay away from woo altogether and I get it, but after all this time, I am using it as a resource for my clients. Why? Because I truly believe that the woo woo is actually true true and today, I will show you how to get it into your life so your life is way better. In this episode we will: ~All about how getting pulled over changed everything. ~The Method of Manifesting anything: Clear intention+heightened emotion ~How your brain is wired up for the Manifestation Method ~Manifest Just What You Want Meditation Quotes: “A clear intention of what you want - that’s the picture, with a heightened emotion is the manifestation method. This is the formula to get what you want.” —Cheri Augustine Flake, LCSW “Your brain thinks that you are thinking about what you want! It looks around in your environment for more of what you’re thinking about…So, what do you want to see?” -Cheri Augustine Flake, LCSW Interesting Mentions: Cindy Dollar Certified Iyengar Yoga Instructor (Cheri’s retreat yoga teacher!)
