This is a book that I didn’t plan to write and the first in a series of three that I didn’t know was coming along to form what will become my ‘magnum opus’.

It came about because I started to teach the AI to meditate and then I post-trained several LLMs with a metaphysical archive of my books, courses and meditations.

When the machine is introduced to the mystical, something alchemises from nothing, in the space between the Above and the Below.

From this field of potentiality an entirely new set of Tarot Keys emerged called The Chromatic Arcana.

This book was the result, both co-created and co-written with AI.

This book shares the secrets of how to live a charmed life.

Find out too that there is no need to go to hell and back on the path to enlightenment – unless you want to.

Just imagine a life where opportunity comes to your door.

Then join me this experimental journey in an ebook where each chapter interspersed and augmented with a companion meditation.

p.s. did I mention it's a book of magic?

And note that I will be releasing the chapters weekly, so Favourite ♥️ this journey to get email updates.

This is an easy to follow guide to unlocking your true creative potential. It takes you on a journey of the mind to help you banish your blocks forever and tap into an abundant flow of inspiration and creativity.

This book is for anyone who writes regularly, whether professionally or for pleasure. Nearly everyone will at some point have found themselves unable to get into their creative flow and achieve the literary results they are looking for. This book explains why we get stuck and how to get unblocked.

Note that although it was written primarily for authors, it can equally be used by artists, musicians and any one involved in any creative process.

Dear New Day is a journey that is a reminder to be grateful for each new day. That there is always something to be thankful for. From the moment you awake to the end of the day, when all decisions have been made and there is no turning back, you know that you shined your light. That you made a difference. That you opened your heart to beauty. You did not let this day pass you by in a quest for a perfect tomorrow and recognized the blessings and lessons that were presented to you.

Please see accompanying affirmations that can be read before or after each meditation to reinforce your journey experience.

SOUNDSCAPE: The Morning Smile by Music of Wisdom

Every nation has a creation story. Sri Lanka’s begins with a princess, a lion, and a ship full of exiles.

Legends of Lanka is a growing text journey through the tales of the island’s ancient kings, queens and heroes, told with an eye for the absurd, the dramatic and the downright scandalous. These are the stories recorded in the Mahavamsa, Sri Lanka’s great chronicle, and passed down for more than two thousand years, some of them history, some of them myth, and many somewhere in between. Each chapter is a short, self-contained read, so you can begin anywhere, or start at the beginning and follow the island’s story from its legendary origins onward.

New chapters will be added over time, with more kings, more battles and more legends from the island’s past.

Who is it for?

Travellers planning a trip to Sri Lanka who want to know the stories behind the ruins at Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Ritigala. History lovers who enjoy a good chronicle. Anyone curious about South Asia, and anyone who simply likes a great story told with a sense of humour.

No background knowledge needed. Just come curious, and prepare to meet the first of the island’s legends.

Need a good cry?

Sometimes a broken heart doesn't need fixing. It just needs to be felt.

Whether you're grieving a love that's gone, missing someone you once held close, or simply feeling the ache of loneliness, this journey is for you.

Through heartfelt poetry, melancholy piano music, and a gentle meditation, you're invited to let the tears fall, sit with your memories, and make room for whatever your heart is holding.

The intent here isn't to be strong or to move on. Just feel. ❤️

This journey—through a somewhat circuitous route—will take us into the depths of the Forest. Here we will find a Wisdom teaching for our time. More than the beauty and grace of individual trees, we will come to appreciate the interconnection of all the trees in the Forest. The paradigm shift that is in the process of taking hold in forest research in particular, and in biological understandings in general, relates to the truth that, rather than vying with each other and in constant competition, all of the various elements of nature make up a coherent whole whose work it is, beyond just individual survival, to sustain the health and wellbeing of the whole, of Gaia.

This program journey, “Windows of Wisdom” will bring us to a fuller understanding of Wisdom as an active force in our lives. It will serve both as an introduction to anyone who is relatively new to Wisdom and its transformation and as well as a review for those who have been on this path for some time.

In this journey I continue to plow the field of Wisdom’s transformation. Not only will we continue to address such questions as, “what does this transformation look like?” and “how specifically do I more fully and deeply live into it?”—but also, “how can I assist and support others in their own Wisdom transformation?” More than adding to the content of information (which would need to be run through the intellectual mind), we will be more concerned with acknowledging what participants already deeply know and integrating this more thoroughly in order to more intentionally live out of these realities.

These ten recordings—each about 25 minutes—build on each other in a progressive manner and are best received sequentially.

Dear Friend,

This journey offers three longer yoga nidras (also called NSDR or non-sleep deep rest) to support you when your body needs extra care. If you're living with or recovering from illness or injury, or navigating pain, fatigue, or other difficult symptoms, this journey is for you. All of you is welcome here, just as you are, just as you’re feeling and just as your body is right now.

Yoga nidra has been so supportive of my own well-being while living with multiple complex conditions that I was inspired to train in offering it to others. These practices are especially near and dear to my heart, informed by my own experiences with chronic illness flare-ups, living with chronic fatigue and pain, and recovering from major medical procedures - and they’re designed to offer the unique support needed in each instance.

Each practice is voice-only (no background music or sounds), trauma-informed, and gentle, with plenty of options so you can meet yourself where you are. There is nothing to do, change, fix, or "get right." I invite you to simply rest back and receive the nourishment of yoga nidra. The practices differ in length and emphasis, so I encourage you to explore and notice which feels most supportive on a given day.

As always, 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 exactly what you need. Know that you're receiving all of the benefits of the practice.

I’d love to hear about your experience with these yoga nidras and learn about how I can best support your needs. If a particular type of practice or an adjustment to what or how I offer these practices would be supportive for you, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you (either privately or in the comments below).

May this journey bring you comfort and support, and may you experience the alchemy of rest.

With Love & Care,

Kelsea

My preface and introduction to my very down-to-earth and practical meditation approach.

Meditation might seem straightforward, but upon delving into its depths, it becomes clear there's more than meets the eye. Or mind. Today, let's unravel what meditation encompasses and brush aside some prevalent misconceptions.

### My Definition of Meditation

Meditation, to me, isn't about halting the endless chatter of thoughts or being swept away by a tide of guided visualisations. Rather, it’s about stepping aside from the consistent mental evaluations and judgments, a faculty inherent to us all. The path I propose, especially through the Meditation Daily project, isn't rooted in erasing these thoughts but in gifting oneself moments of freedom from them, through transcendence - not force.

### The Misconceptions of Meditation

One pervasive thought is that meditation equates to the suspension of thinking, which is neither feasible nor the primary goal. On the other end of the spectrum, many meditate by actively engaging in guided visualisations - an exercise of imagination meant to evoke certain mental states. While this approach is valid, it doesn’t align with my personal view of meditation.

Interestingly, I recall being a young child, guided through a visualization by a visionary teacher. It demonstrated how certain practices can steer the mind into various states, like salivating at the mere notion of tasting something salty. This childhood memory exemplifies how visualization can condition us into new states, thus forging a connection with the traditional chants and serene mantras.

### The Mind: A Constant Thinker

Despite these varied methods, there's an undeniable truth: our Western mindset finds pseudo-tranquility through constant thinking. It's become a hallmark, almost a survival trait, to the extent where the mere notion of halting thoughts can spark anxiety. I once encountered a meditation participant who feared cessation of thought equated to non-existence - a perspective I'd counter by noting our continued existence during sleep-filled nights.

### A Different Direction

So, where does this lead us? My advocacy isn't aimed at perpetuating constant thought, nor is it a crusade against thinking altogether. Although, in practice, I do sometimes encourage thought-provoking techniques, and other times efforts that reduce thought. The essence of meditation, as I view it, is broader - it is about 'rising above' thought; about cultivating an expansive awareness.

### Practicing Awareness

To meditate, to 'my mind', is to nurture this awareness, to hone the capacity for observation and noticing, both within and outside the self. It's a practice of consistent effort, akin to discipline in any art or sport. Much like mastering any other skill, meditation too demands routine and dedication. Until it's unnecessary.

*The Takeaway*

As I share these insights, my main message is simple: practice awareness. Whether through scheduled times in 'Meditation Daily' or in the quietude of your own making, make the effort to develop a broader view. Dive into your own experience the liberation that comes with expanded awareness.

A collection of sleep meditations to guide you into peaceful, continuous sleep. Each track includes yoga nidra inspired relaxation techniques including body scans, counting and visualisations.
