Nine love letters to people and places, past and present.

The Keys to Overstanding is a course of awakening consisting of 23 meditative journeys and meditales.

It is the first of a series of courses I will publish here which together will form a complete Path to Overstanding.

This first course is an introduction of the keys of Major Arcana of the Tarot. I like to think of each key as being a mode of consciousness which I describe as being a flavour of thought.

Note that this course is designed both for those already familiar with the Tarot and those who are new to it. While the course is inspired by the Tarot, it is not about the Tarot per se, it is about us.

Keep a private journal here or share it with me as, when you listen to each lesson in this course, you will start to think subtly differently. By the end, your mind will be awakened to a new state of being.

Discover how the world around us is seeded and formed from numbers and how, when we tune into them, our luck improves and serendipity turns up at our door.

This course is part meditation, part metaphysical exploration, part journalling. Make notes about numbers that appear in your life as you go along as these are signs to pay attention to.

Record them as private reflection, share them with me or publish them as comments for all to see.

An introduction to the practice and theory of yoga nidra.

Over the ten sessions, you'll be guided to create a sacred and special rest routine. Yoga nidra means 'yogic sleep.' It has often been referred to the sleep of the yogi, conscious sleep or enlightened sleep.

During yoga nidra, the body rests but the consciousness remains awake and aware. In this altered state, beteween sleeping and waking, we are able to access profound levels of rest, healing and spiritual awareness.

In each session, we'll expore a different aspect of benefit of this practice. We will learn to create a beautiful and functional sacred practice space, undestand the various ways of setting meaningful intentions, and explore the benefits that yoga nidra can bring us on every level, looking at it from the perspectives of Ayurveda, yoga, spirituality and modern science.

We will look at what happens in the body physically when we experience deep relaxation, and the benefits this has on the nervous system and the whole of the body. We'll also see how the practice affects us energetically and how it can help us to feel more emotionally stable. We'll learn how to calm and balance the mind, and then we'll take a deep journey into our hearts for spiritual awareness and self-undersanding. We'll also explore the healing potential of the practice and how it can be used to enhance creativity and invite creative inspiritation.

Each session consists of a talk for about five minutes and then a ten-minute pracitcal session with a longer integration practice on the final day. Over the duration of the course, you will learn to rest deeply, consciously and productively, and to transform your naptime into an important and meaningful part of your life.

Managing Time Mindfully explores the use of mindfulness meditation as a practical tool for improved time management. When we take control of our Personal Time Machine—our mind—we can take the passage of time under our control. Mindfulness meditation techniques can be used to get more done in less time, and with less effort. When we are mindful about how we spend and invest our time, we free ourselves from a self-imposed enslavement to time.

So this version of the audiobook comes with four meditations to help you change your relationship with time ... plus a podcast interview with the author.

“This book is a temporal tour de force. It is ahead of its time and takes the reader back in time to its roots and first tickings. My relationship with time has now changed forever.”

Have you ever been in The Zone but not known how you got there? Have you ever been out of The Zone and wondered how to get back in it? Have you ever wondered where this somewhat mythical Zone actually was? Well this book is a map of how to find your way around it and how to stay in it. First we explore the Doing Zones where we are superbly creative and at the top of our game. Next we take a diversion to those places we end up where things don’t go so well – they are the Danger Zones. The third part of this book takes you to a special and magical place where life becomes a breeze – these are the Being Zones.

We finish with a magical exploration of Super Zones.

The book comes with downloadable graphics you can cut out and play with.

Dear Friend,

If you’re feeling dysregulated, activated, overwhelmed, wired yet tired, or depleted - this yoga nidra journey to support the nervous system is for you. Yoga nidra (also called NSDR or non-sleep deep rest) is an easeful practice where you’re encouraged to suspend any effort and doing, and simply rest in being, just as you are. Regular practice can have profound effects on the nervous system - helping you cultivate a felt sense of safety, balance, restoration, resilience and - regulation.

Each audio experience within this series expands upon the previous one by immersing more fully into the practice of deep rest. For optimal benefits, I recommend nourishing your nervous system with the entire journey over the course of between a few days to one week (if possible). If that timing doesn’t work for you - know that a single yoga nidra practice can shift the nervous system from the sympathetic (fight/flight/freeze/fawn) state to the parasympathetic (rest/digest) state.

Please think of my guidance as suggestion, make any adaptations that serve you, and practice in whatever supported position feels best. If you drift off to sleep - that’s likely the exact restful medicine you need - know that you are still receiving all the benefits of the practice.

May this journey soothe and support you.

With Love,

Kelsea

This journey introduces key elements to my work- ones that can act as an introduction to other journeys, but that also work together as a journey from the interior to action. Each is related to the other through the theme of Presence and Embodiment and Love at a cellular level. I invite you to listen if you are curious, want to feel Present, go on a journey to the Walled Garden or to learn the Tapping Points. Each track will serve as a way in to other journeys.

Start your day feeling calm, balanced and grounded. This is a series of 2-4 minute meditations that help you have a great start to your day.

Come back to yourself before you rush into your day and flow through your day with more joy and ease.

Have an amazing day!

A collection of spoken-word poetry inspired by the many ways we experience life.

Some pieces tell a story. Some offer a different perspective. Some explore love, identity, happiness, acceptance, and the things we learn—and unlearn—along the way.

Listen for the story, the message, the memory, or the line that you needed to hear in this Now Moment.

Dear Friend,

This journey is an invitation to meet whatever is present - be it pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral - with kind, curious, loving awareness. Appropriate for both beginners and experienced meditators alike - you will be guided to start exactly where you are, to awaken your senses, and to meet physical sensations, thoughts, and emotions with care. The more we practice coming into loving awareness - the more we alchemize our relationship with our inner experience, ourselves, each other, and the world into one of freedom, balance, peace, and care.

This is a choice-based, go at your own pace series that provides lots of options for participation. You’ll be encouraged to practice: in whatever shape supports your body, with whatever meditation anchors work for you (we will explore many), within your window of tolerance (resourcing suggestions provided), and with whatever modifications would serve you. If mindfulness meditation has felt too difficult or inaccessible for you before - I’ve been there, too. This series was created for you. Mindfulness meditation is for everyone, wherever they are, however they’re feeling, whatever their background, whatever their abilities - in all their parts and wholeness. You belong here.

With Love & Encouragement,

Kelsea
