The Makaranda Podcast

I am honored to share this conversation with E. She is a labor and delivery nurse who spends her days at the threshold where life begins, holding families through one of the most raw and uncharted territories of human existence.She came into my world looking to buy my Sprinter van. What unfolded from that party, that snack table, that first conversation, became one of the most meaningful relationships of my life.In this episode, E shares how she found her way into psychedelic-assisted work and expanded states of consciousness. We talk about what it took to step into a group ceremony when that felt scary, and how that experience shifted her relationship with her body, her mother, her patients, and herself. We also get into the difference between thinking your way through life and actually feeling it, and what it means to keep showing up as a student, even when you're also the one holding the room.E is now part of the Makaranda Lineage. She is also the nurse I want by my side when I bring my own children into the world. I hope this conversation finds you at exactly the right moment.Thanks for listening!

I made this meditation for one of my best friends, T, who is pregnant. May it find every mother moving through a moment of fear or contraction and help her open, call in light, and trust the profound mystery already unfolding within her.Sometimes we receive news that pulls us out of our bodies, out of the joy and the knowing, and into our heads. This meditation is an invitation back. Back into the body, back into the breath, back into the deep trust that life knows what it is doing.In ten minutes, we ground into the Earth, draw white light in through the crown of the head, and let it travel all the way into the womb, circulating around your baby, tending what needs tending, restoring what needs restoring.If you know a mother who needs this, please share it.Thanks for listening!

In this episode, I'm sitting down with my dear friend, client, and student Kate Pauley, a licensed marriage and family therapist and ceremonialist who has been part of my world since the very beginning of my practice in 2018. We're talking about Kate's experience bringing psychedelics and ceremonial work into her experience of becoming and being a mother.Kate shares her story honestly, from the ceremonies we did together in Mexico before she got pregnant, to the vision she received of a spirit baby connected to the Tree of Life, to the very real challenges of identity loss, loneliness, mom guilt, and the hormone crash of early postpartum. We also get into the maiden-to-mother-to-crone transition, why mothers specifically need ceremony and community, and what it means to raise a child inside a life that is itself a ceremony.I also open up about my own path toward motherhood, including a miscarriage last year that has been one of the harder chapters of my life.What I love about this conversation is that it isn't about psychedelics as a magic fix. It's about what happens when you do the work, when you let ceremony give you space to see yourself clearly, stop the patterns that are hurting you, trust your own knowing, and come back to love, especially in the small, hard moments.If you're a mother, or becoming one, or love one, this one's for you.Thanks for listening!

Today, we'll spend about ten minutes realigning with presence by quieting the "if-only mind"—the part of our mind that constantly seeks something outside ourselves for fulfillment. This is the, "I would be happy "if _______ were different in my life."The "if-only mind" traps us in a cycle of wishing life were different than it is right now. In this meditation, we'll practice bringing ourselves back to the present moment, noticing our breath, and observing our thoughts and sensations without judgment and redirecting ourselves to the moment. By cultivating this awareness, we can learn to respond to life as it unfolds, finding peace and fulfillment in the here and now.Explore more meditative practices on our website:⬇️⬇️⬇️https://themakarandamethod.comMusic | Birds Of The Air - Instrumental Version by Humans WinThanks for listening!

Welcome to a guided meditation, focusing on supporting you in a cord-cutting to release an unhealthy relationship. From our perspective, cords are energetic ties that attach between people for various reasons. From time to time, these ties are not supporting us anymore, and are sometimes even harmful. When it is time to let this energy go, we can use this cord-cutting practice to release it from the body and send the energy into the Earth to be composted. We will guide you to call your own energy back to you, so you can be filled with the essence of who you really are to share with the world.Over the next 30 minutes, we will offer an energetic cord-cutting practice to release yourself from the grip of this relationship. We guide you to breathe deeply, feel into the body, and notice what is arising from this relationship. When and if you are ready, we will guide you to visualize cutting energetic ties with this person or being and embrace a future filled with self-love and healthy connections. Take time to journal, listen to music, drink water, and enjoy nature afterward to fully feel the space you have created. We pray that this meditation supports you in feeling free within yourself to make the best decisions for you and for the freedom and highest good of all involved.Explore more meditative practices on our website:⬇️⬇️⬇️https://themakarandamethod.comMusic | Sleep for Wellness by Humans WinThanks for listening!

This is a 30-minute meditation that guides you to call in one of your inner children and build a relationship. This meditation is informed by the “Internal Family Systems” model which believes that we all have different “parts” inside of us that make us whole. We are working to get to know an inner child and introduce them to our whole selves. This can be helpful for people of all ages, in all avenues of self-knowledge and introspection. As we explore, we can get to know all the parts that live in us to make us who we are.Explore more meditative practices on our website: ⬇️⬇️⬇️https://themakarandamethod.com/teachingsMusic | Soothing Restorative Yoga Meditation - MEDIA MUSIC GROUPThanks for listening!

Eleanor Medina and Kelsey Brown at The Makaranda Method, co-guided a meditation on Zoom for the change of seasons. They are sharing the recording with you here, and invite you to carve out about an hour of time to slow down and honor the Earth as she shifts into another time of year. Please open a window or go outside so you can be connected with Nature as you sit with us.The quote at the beginning of the meditation is here: “In the Western tradition there is a recognized hierarchy of beings, with, of course, the human being on top—the pinnacle of evolution, the darling of Creation—and the plants at the bottom. But in Native ways of knowing, human people are often referred to as “the younger brothers of Creation.” We say that humans have the least experience with how to live and thus the most to learn—we must look to our teachers among the other species for guidance. Their wisdom is apparent in the way that they live. They teach us by example. They’ve been on the earth far longer than we have been, and have had time to figure things out.”― Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding SweetgrassJoin our Bird Sangha group chat here - https://signal.group/#CjQKIIClkm1xePtG__DUf9BQAD8T-_v5dFkquRNqylAFJoRnEhDHmrjD_M_ZwQnxGlNoH6kt Explore more meditative practices on our website: ⬇️⬇️⬇️https://themakarandamethod.comHappy Equinox friends! 🍂🐝Thanks for listening!

Today is the last day of Mindfulness with the Moon! Wow. What a beautiful journey. This is day twenty nine of a 29 day journey where you will learn the fundamentals of mindful meditation while syncing yourself with the cycles of the moon, the gorgeous feminine mass in our solar system. Begin this podcast on the new moon to follow the cycle that is outlined over the next Synodic month: The harmonization of the movement of both the sun and the moon.Today, we will discuss the importance of integrating and living the dharmas we have learned in our lives and in this course. It is not about speaking about the teachings, it is about living the teachings and letting go. We are not here to control life, we are here to live. In our 20 minute meditation practice, we will work with integrating and letting go. You will have a lot of space to see what comes up for you by following the music with some light guidance.I would like to give a special thanks to you for tuning in & making the space to sit with yourself, to all of my teachers old and new, to my team at The Makaranda Method and to my darling husband, Jon Medina for weaving together all of the gorgeous music behind each of the meditations. Jon and I spent many, many, manyyy hours working together on this project, and this season would NOT be the same without his musical wizardry. I am also thankful to each of the artists who wrote each of the tracks as well, what a gift. I bow in reverence. I bow with humility. I bow in gratitude to each of you for being on this journey with us. The light in me, sees and honors the light in each and every one of you, namaste!Resources + Connection:More info on my practice | The Makaranda Method @themakarandamethodTara Brach & Jack Kornfield | Mindfulness Meditation Teaching Certificate Program (MMTCP)Learn more about Vedic Astrology and Multi Dimensional Time | Ayurveda Dave @ayurvedadaveMusic | Time - Joe Alexander Shepherd + Portrait Gallery - Luke Howard + 20:17 - Ólafur Arnalds & Nils Frahm + 21:05 - Ólafur Arnalds & Nils FrahmThanks for listening!

This is day twenty eight of a 29 day journey where you will learn the fundamentals of mindful meditation while syncing yourself with the cycles of the moon, the gorgeous feminine mass in our solar system. Begin this podcast on the new moon to follow the cycle that is outlined over the next Synodic month: The harmonization of the movement of both the sun and the moon.Today, we will discuss how life is the practice. Pema Chödrön reminds us that we do not meditate to become good meditators, we meditate so that we are present in our lives.In our 20 minute meditation practice, we will work with this.
