Meditation

Meditation is the art of sitting down and being present with the mind that we all embody. Can you sit with yourself? You may experience thoughts running around in your head, just as a monkey swings through the trees. Can you be present for the whirling of the mind; to-do lists, memories of the past, plans for the future, rumblings of regret, words left unsaid, and ideas about what to do next? Can you watch all these thoughts pass through the mind, return your attention to your breath, and simply sit still? Meditation is the act of witnessing whatever arises in the mind with honesty and compassion, letting the thoughts go, and returning to the present moment with your breath?

There are many different styles of meditation according to various philosophies, religions, and doctrines, but in essence, meditation is being present with what is. Sounds so simple, yet it can be very challenging. We wiggle, squirm, get up, or skip it altogether. We find ways to not accept or allow ourselves to feel the discomfort of the present moment.

Meditation brings clarity, focus and a stillness that will benefit you in all areas of life; from your personal relationships, your passions, and hobbies, to your work or business. By taking time to sit in the moment, we actually tune in to the natural pace of life, finding softness and energy, instead of being caught up in the hustle and bustle of doing this and that. Meditation is a practice, like a muscle that needs to be trained and developed. Just as we train the body with exercise, the practice of meditation trains us to watch the mind, to follow the breath, and to slow down and actually be present with this miraculous life, this gift we have been given. Meditation is a practice, a lifetime exercise for the mind.

Oneness

Through the practice of meditation, we can begin to witness, to actually observe the comings and goings of the mind. We learn to notice our thoughts, and watch them drift through the mind, just as we would watch the clouds move through the sky. Overtime, as we begin to let go of our attachment to these thoughts, we develop a practice of nonattachment, which can bring about a deeper sense of calm. With consistent practice, we find that underneath or behind, or even present in the mind, there is a peaceful place. This is a place of oneness, where the pure energy of spirit, soul, or the Divine lives. It resides inside all of us, and is sometimes easy to tap into, while at other times, challenging. This awareness, being present with this feeling of peace and oneness, is our connection to the Divine.

My LIfe Compass- Affordable coaching for everyone- the price of 4 lattes a day can change you life!

Do you eat in your car? Take your lunch with you, or figure you’ll get it on the go? Do you eat standing up/over the kitchen sink? Does lunch consist of the bar in the car or a Frappuccino ™? Have you visited a fast food drive thru in the last month?
Just an FYI: a Carmel Frappuccino ™ has 380 Calories, 130 of them are fat, 15 g (that 34%, recommended is less than 30% Fat), 240 mg of sodium, and 48 g of Sugar. That might be a quarter of your calorie needs, in one unhealthy drink.
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are eating mindlessly! Don’t go beating yourself up over this, we have all done this, good news is… It’s never to late, to start the day over….

Let me ask you another set of questions…
Do you know how or where you food is prepared? Do you know what those words are on the label that you can’t pronounce? Have you EVER looked at the labels on the packed food you buy? Do you buy organic, or even know what that really means? Do you think about how others lives have contributed/or been affected by the food you are eating?
Being Mindful is a state of being!

It means to be aware of, or careful, to be present. When was the last time you offered gratitude for your food, or thought about how it got to be in front of you?
Taking time to appreciate our food, and being mindful about what we are eating can have a powerful impact on our lives. Simply being more conscious of how we eat, what we are eating and honoring what we eat, will shift our perception on what the purpose of our consumption is.

Mindful tools
Take a moment write now to set an intention around eating more mindfully. Create your own or chose one of the following ideas.
1.    When the food is in front of you, take a moment to give thanks for it!
2.    Prepare a home cooked meal consistently of veggies and grains; try to have your usual favorite food with out the meat.
3.    Shop organic, visit a health food store instead of your regular grocery store
4.    Eat one meal with nothing from a package
5.    Eat in silence (turn off the tv, computer, music etc..) try this with your loved ones, see who can do this the longest, verbal contact is good!
6.    Eat a salad, only a salad!
7.    Try tofu, it takes on the flavor of the food, add it to a stir fry with your favorite sauce.
8.    If you don’t cook, invite yourself to a friend’s house for dinner (one who loves to cook). Ask them to go through this mindful experience with you.
9.    Join a cooking class/group.
10. Eat slowly, put your fork down between bites and really chew your food and enjoy it!

Please share your experiment with me, I am curious to hear you process, remember this is a practice, be compassionate with yourself and enjoy!
Eating Mindfully is a fun way to bring a greater sense of health and wellness to your beingness.

Peace & Love Always

Too much time at the computer, your desk, the car, indoors? If you are having trouble finding the motivation to exercise, think about it this way. Exercise is really just physical activity, it’s moving the body. Get up and move around! You can play your favorite music and dance, walk around the block, or go for a hike. Start out small and build up.

Every day, Move it! Click on this link… this is my daughters favorite dancing song. If you have seen Madagascar you know it!

I like to Move it

Peace & Love Always

Oprah seems to have coined the term “Aha moment”. We all have had those and know what they are right? To me, it means when something becomes crystal CLEAR! She shares hers’ and others “Aha moments” on her website. Today I will share with you my “Aha moment”. I won’t go into great detail now, I will save that for another blog, but below I give you some insight into many of the pieces. The result of this aha moment is my newest groundbreaking project.

A powerful way to share inspiration and empowerment!

“Radically Transformative “REALITY TV” with Casey Feicht!”

Sounds dramatic, it is! But isn’t’ life full of drama? Isn’t that why we watch television and/or reality TV. We peer into the lives of others, and follow their ups and downs? It can be a form of escape, to avoid looking at our own stuff. Watching others lives can be interesting, but does it encourage us to look at ourselves, to strive towards a greater sense of health and well being? Not really. If we only spent as much focus and time on ourselves as we do watching and peering into the lives of others lives, we would all be much happier and more peaceful human beings. Well, now you can do both, watch myself and others and begin to take a deeper look at yourself!

So here is my PLAN. There always needs to be a plan, right? Through my Blog, both written and through video, I am going to share with you my personal “Radical Transformation”, not to say it’s complete in anyway, as life is an ongoing process of growing. When we share our vulnerabilities, we can open ourselves up to getting hurt or to experiencing a deeper sense of joy, it’s all about how you look at it!

I am going for JOY!!!

I have faith coupled with compassion and sprinkled with courage to share my story with you and hope it can serve you and others. It has become blatantly obvious that sharing my story is what I have to do and I hope that my story will inspire and empower you to take a look at yourself, to experience a deeper and more meaningful life.

Strengths!

After years of working and living a life focused on health and wellness, it’s become clear to me, that one of my strengths is being able to be open, to taking a deeper look at myself, and evolving and growing into a stronger person. This shows up not only emotionally, but physically and mentally. Reaching out and connecting with others has been a huge part of this process for me, being vulnerable, trusting and opening up to the fear and pain can be challenging, but I have found the rewards are twice as great.

Values!

Searching for a deeper meaning in life has always been my biggest value. Since the time I can first remember having thoughts, I was asking “Why Me?” Well, now I know… this was to become my driving force that has lead me down a path of continued growth and search for happiness. This is my value “Radical Transformation”, radical comes from the word “root” and what could be more organic than growing as a human being. Transformation, according to a physics definition is to change into another form of energy. The only constant in life is change! We are all changing, but are we changing consciously for the better or staying stuck in habitual patterns?

Passion!

Passion is a powerful emotion. Life is short, there is so much joy to experience, and opportunities to have fun and live a laughable life. My goal since childhood (that was pretty awful) has always been to have fun and be happy! I believe that we all deserve to bask in the joy of the abundance that we have been given. My life has lead me down this path towards sharing my passions through my journey of health and wellness with you!

Each week, stay tuned for my process (and others), as I share my strengths, values and passions on this path through life with you. They will all include one of the 7 practices of Radical Transformation (food, journaling, yoga, exercise, coaching, affirmations and meditation). They have changed me and countless others to live a more deeply connected life, with purpose!!! These seven healing practices encompass mind body and spiritual practices, that are accessible to everyone at one level or another.

Join me on this journey!

Peace and Love always,

Casey

Do you believe, like I do, that this world needs to change? Are you satisfied having your children inherit this world as it is today? I’m not!

Although we may not be able to change the world overnight, we can begin by helping each other to create individual realities that manifest our every dream, and that we feel proud to have our children and grandchildren inherit. I want you to be happy… every day! I want you to know what abundance feels like. I want you to wake up every day excited about what awaits you, and with the energy and vitality to experience, and enjoy your life!

Together, we can change the world, and make it a truly joyful place. When we choose to make change, to experience more joy, peace, and blessings, and create a better life for ourselves and our families… then we truly will change the world!

I know that all of this sounds nice, and inspiring… but you need real practical steps to create the life that you want!
