MMP105 - Make Meditation Fun with Emily Fletcher

Sit tight on your meditation mat and put a smile on your face. I believe you'll enjoy this interview with the founder of Ziva Meditation, Emily Fletcher. We move through 8 mantras that will help you to "Stress Less, Accomplish More" (the title of Emily's bestselling book) in your daily life. Emily's definition of "mantra" is different from how I use mantras to create take-aways from the show, so listen for her special description of how she uses mantras in her Ziva meditation practice (as a "mind vehicle"). I might have butchered this Chinese Proverb during the interview, but Emily and I don't shoot for perfection in our fun and lighthearted conversation. Here is the proverb as described just slightly more accurately: "When there is light in the soul, there is beauty in the person. When there is beauty in the person, there is harmony in the house. When there is harmony in the house, there is order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, there is peace in the world." ~ Chinese Proverb Here are the eight mantras from our discussion: Mantra : Happiness is an inside job. Mantra : Don't get stuck in the "I'll be happy when" syndrome. I discuss this also in episode 96 with "play expert" Jeff Harry: Mantra : Be selfish. (Emily discusses the happy wife=happy life, and happy mom-happy home sayings. Also, there is nothing very sexy about being a martyr.) Mantra : Don't suffer in silence. (You'll love Emily's description of her very special "Suffy Awards". Mantra : Stress makes you stupid, sick, and slow. Meditation is a wonderful solution. Mantra : Feel to heal. This includes kiddos too, and there is a wonderful connection between Emily's work with Ziva Kids and what recent guest Finnian Kelly talked about when he said "if there is one thing we should teach kids in school, it is how to feel). See Finnian's interview here: Mantra : Overcome the "I can't do it" obstacle, otherwise know as the "I'm a meditation failure". Mantra : Let meditation bring you abundance. Manifestation is the yummy dessert of the Ziva Meditation technique. The "appetizer" is mindfulness, while the "main course" is meditation.
