Minfulness moments with…
The Lightenment (TM) Show
We explore with guests a mindfulness moment that happened for them- perhaps it was yesterday, last year, or decades ago. Suddenly, they knew what to do next or how to solve a problem.
According to my Lightenment (TM) theory, this is a postcard from higher consciousness. Suffering lessens and life changes for the better, in a small or grand way. The resulting peace and wellbeing then radiate out to all others.
Continually living in this state is perhaps, ENlightenment. Lightenment(TM), is a term I created. It’s intermittent, breakthrough understanding; a postcard from higher consciousness; a little cousin to enlightenment. I propose Lightenment (TM) happens often, for all of us.
Get with who you are! Along with everyone else. This is the Lightenment (TM) Show.
Full 15-minute shows to watch or listen to; or snackable social media posts.
