MEDITATIONS
Below is a sampling of meditations for you to enjoy. Erika utilizes nearly a decade’s worth of undergraduate and graduate-level training in creative writing and psychology as well as yoga & meditation teaching experience to offer a new meditative format/therapeutic modality: a combination of *Yoga Nidra, Nada Yoga, guided Imagery & other poetic elements. As a professional master poet & natural innovator Erika utilizes these elements to create a rich tapestry of sensual and sense-driven experience that encourages the listener away from the smaller, contracted thinking brain into the more vast, relaxed/receptive wisdom mind. Check back regularly to this site for additions.
*Yoga Nidra-sleep with awareness (a conscious, alert relaxation). It is said by long-time practitioners and teachers to provide a depth of rejuvenating rest that even a full night’s sleep cannot provide.
*Nada Yoga-Nada meaning “the flow of sound.” Yoga meaning “union between the individual mind, and the collective conscious mind, wisdom mind, or God mind.”
Why sound? The EARS are said to be the most powerful sense organ, the first to develop in utero, and the last sense to hang in there before physical death. Many advanced practitioners and teachers claim sound meditation to be the most powerful path to self-realization.

Ground
Listen to this meditation to be embodied/get grounded into your energetic root center. The root chakra or ‘muladhara’ (“root support”) is responsible for feelings of safety and having all basic survival needs met. This center is responsible for the opposing feelings of insecurity when under-nourished. When our basic earthly needs are met we can then expand into higher creativity, higher states of consciousness & higher thinking.
SOUL STAR
This is a meditation for the purpose of both significantly grounding and widening one’s field, both of which are helpful for stressful or overwhelming days, times and events. One takes such a position to “protect” one’s perceived vulnerability, not shrink. Onward, upward, outward… & enjoy…
