There is a longing inside of us to have a powerful revelation - to clearly see if the "right" answer is "yes" or "no," to shift drastically in our perspective of how we view ourselves, someone else or even life itself, or to find that missing puzzle piece we've been searching for for years. Inspired by Lex's recent experience during a silent meditation retreat in Hawaii, she gives listeners a glimpse into what being in the bliss of one's mantra is like and how mantra mediation can help anyone drop into the magic of the moment. www.lexferrier.com

Things take time. There's a process to respect and allow to unfold without our interruption. Yet there are times where we end up treating the process of yoga and meditation like rush hour - we are rushing to get somewhere, most likely to the peace and happiness oftentimes delivered at the end of a practice, yet in the the "rushing" we end up missing the whole point of spiritual practice. In this episode Lex emphasizing the importance of non-doing to create the space needed to respect the process of nature and allow our lives to unfold without pushing or forcing things to happen. www.lexferrier.com

No matter how blissful and beautiful our relationships are, sooner or later we will have to face the "relationship mirror." The moment when once we looked at our lover or child and saw only the things we loved about them, to then facing the reflection of all the areas in which we ourselves need to grow, change and evolve, the ways we are showing up completely unenlightened. Lex talks us through how it is essential not to look away from this mirror to recognize there is no separation between us, to see ourselves in another and to catch a glimpse of our shared beauty. www.lexferrier.com
