We are so grateful to have you on the session. Simone, is there anything else you would like to add to your introduction? Hi. Oh, thank you so much for having me here today. Um, yes. Might've meditation. We, we focused on the mind body. And so we say that we are leading with love because anything done with love. And then with the heartfelt heart. Mindful and it's genuine. The Dalai Lama says that the more you're motivated by love. The more free and fair. This your actions. It might've meditation. Our aim is. Like I said the healing and the protection. Of once the mind, body and film. We believe that those are the components that are priced in that can positively change the world. Our vision at might admit a patient to generation of the change. The way we think and treat our body. We create an atmosphere that promotes. As far we're thinking mind. Uh, welfare body. And an empathetic, so. Thank you so much for having me here. Oh, it's great. And your voice is amazing by the way. Thank you. What made you go into meditation? Well, um, meditation was over some things that I was interested in. And when, I got started with medication, I think I was probably at one of the lowest points of my life. And, you know, just at that point before you break. And I hung out at that point. The main thing and kind of the wild one and my shame and my pain for a little bit. Um, but then I knew I wanted to relive a different kind of life. I knew that I wanted to make significant changes in my life. The way that I interacted with people. The way they interacted with my own life. The way that interacted with the earth. So the path that I took and everybody's path is different. But the path that I took was inward reflection. Seclusion. Prayer and meditation. And. I believe through medication. I think that's where I really found myself. It has to make calm my body. It helps me improve my ability for him to stress. And ultimately meditation truly helped me find myself. It really helps me understand. The ways of the heart. You know, Source of love that if any. That I have access to. That love that. Bubbles that that is with me all the time. It was meditation. Where I was able to cultivate compassion. And. During that process. I've learned so much and I want to share it without the. So that's kind of what made me. Get into meditation and want to stay in there. Wow. And I had asked you before the interview, what were some major things that you want listeners or potential clients for your business? Because you're operating a meditation business. You said that you wanted to focus really on the mindfulness meditation. Healthy eating. The art of kintsugi and massage therapy. Of course. We want to know what the art of She is. So what made you explore the artists can Suji. Yeah. Okay. The artist can Philby oh, it's such a beautiful art. It's a Japanese art. That's about 500 years though. Um, the items can still be recognizes and validate the broken bits that are in each of us. Can Suki offers a way to kind of rephrase the hardship. And it reminds us of our broken bit. And those same broken bits inside of us make us unique. Can make us beautiful. And most importantly, it makes us resilient. And then, like you said earlier, We offer and our meditation services. I meditation methods. Cognitively reframed. Oneself. To emotionally regulate the mind specifically in distressing times. Uh, practices. They spend to the mind like cultivating compassion. And promoting Archer. Within individuals. And of course that extends out to the community. we teach healthy eating classes. And our culinary tradition. We use healthy foods to fuel the mind. And we offer lessons to engage the community and health conscious choices. We, offer therapeutic massage. We have a whole collection. And we just have another form and as a path for holistic wellbeing. we focus on not only what's happening above. So we also focused on what's happening below. Cause all this therapy. And, you know, Our holistic view, as I said earlier, is, um, the mind, body and soul. Our wellness. Surfaces that we offer are customizable for individuals and groups. We offered corporate mindful programs. And it has been with proven techniques that, lead to healthier employees again from the inside out. Right. Cause that's what we want. We want people that are well. Within and outside. And I think collectively we clarify the connection between the mind, the body and the so. To cultivate a greater awareness of self. And, and also to aid in removing the mental layer. That's why I'm asking. To grow in. And love. Yeah. And in fact, that's actually how you, and I've met you. Uh, I guess you would consider a corporate, you came to our school. Many of my listeners know that I'm an educator. And so our, School. Had, Simone come in and, do some mindfulness meditation with us. And it was just, it was everyone needed it, everyone in the department. That showed up that evening needed it. We, uh, breathe. We did a meditation and it was just, it was just so, so wonderful. And yes. Her energy, someones energy is what like drew me to her. And so I was like, I just have to have all my podcasts. Like this is amazing. And so that's, why Simone is here with us today. so yes, she does the corporate events. I got to experience that. Which is why she is here with us today. And, um, I really want to share that experience with my listeners that live in the Houston area. Because our services are available in the Houston area. Do you travel any or you just mainly here? In Houston. Yeah, we were, we can go anywhere within the United States and we could even go up. Um, last summer we did. A couple of events in Barbados. Oh, wow. It was. Yeah. And I had some just impromptu events that just kind of popped up when I was in Costa Rica in December. Oh, so you were in Costa Rica. When one day I want some relocate to Costa Rica. So that's amazing. That's the whole method. It is, it is. All right. So now we know more about your business and I want to know more about you. My listeners also want to know more about you. So what makes you feel like your best self. Oh, I feel like my best self when I am extending loving compassion and acts of generosity. Either. And it could be, great acts. Or it could be small acts like that. Irving someone's work ahead of me. Or hoping the door. Whole thing. You know, paying for someone's near, behind me. And what I find. The way, in which case. So. I RONIC is that. Smiling at people. Tend to be. The biggest opener for any situation that I've worked in. So I try to do that often. Yeah, you share a smile. In your profession, the meditation. Practitioner profession. What is the best compliment you received, whether it was from a client. What are some of the best compliments that you've received? Well, I work closely with people in my circle and you know, some people outside of my circle. And just people that come into the business somehow come into my circle. It's about, there'll be community right in the end of the day. And. And, you know, somebody told me that I reminded Dan of my mother. And, I feel it my, or my mother, I think that was my biggest compliment that I've ever received. My mother was. A nurse for several years. So, you know, There's a whole lot of love in that particular, industry. You, when you go into that field, you, if I can teach her, you go in with love. You start with love. Got made. That's what makes you get in there? And, um, Many times. Oftentimes I saved my mother to me with like a little angel dropdown or. She showed me compassion before. I even knew what compassion was. My mother brought home people from the hospital into our home to live with that. She brought home relative. I mean. Our house had people in it. And she cooked and ran the household with loving compassion. Yeah. I can go on and on. Wow. So basically you were put in a nurturing environment. And you were put in a loving and compassionate environment, which is what essentially brought you to what you're doing now. And you also said you focused on compassion. Um, yeah, compassion meditation. And basically you just kinda like inherited that. Generational thing from your mom. I believe so. Yeah. So that, I mean, They say that the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. And in my lifetime, I've had several families living with me off. So. Yeah. Yeah. Now, how would you describe your role? As a meditation practitioner. I guess you can describe it in what that looks like a day in your life as a meditation practitioner. How would you describe your role? My role could be still very different. And so family. The same as self. So the same at the same time. but first of all, I want to first say this. Because I think that, um, it needs to be said. I believe that meditation practitioners or healers. Yes. And, um, In our own way. And though we don't have the licenses. Like doctor psychologist and other, Medically trained professional. I think we're all working towards the same goal, right? We all want to heal the body from the inside out. We want to give people tangible tools to help them achieve their goals. And expiration. So I wanted to, I considered myself as the healer. Yes. That's holistic healing. Yeah. Yeah. Because. You know what the mind is, right. Everything out. K fall into place. You know, Aye. I know I need to leave. Move these last 10 pounds. I know that, but sometimes my mind I'm like I get up and I'm out there and every time. I'm not. So. No, it takes that constant work on the mind. Yeah. And that's essentially what meditation is, right? It's calming the mind. And yeah. Working towards those. Let's see. So what is a commonly hill belief? About your role as a meditation practitioner that you passionately disagree with? Um, I would think the easiest one, the. The most common month that I hear. I mean, I've literally just heard it today. Um, people say that they cannot meditate because. For various reasons. The one that I hear the most is because their mind keeps going and going and going. You know, we call that monkey mind. When the mind is distracted. Just the only thing. And. Often you have that kind of chaotic feeling going on in your mind. Just keep going, thinking about a list. So this the things you actually do. Well, we work on cultivating that beginner's mind. Slowing down and becoming curious about your body. Okay. That's really what meditation is. You when you know where in your body. You feel pension? Building when you start going into an anxiety attack. So for example, one of the questions that I asked you it. Where do you feel tension in your body? And people have pointed out various places for me. I know it's in my gut. So. I'll give you a quick story, which has nothing to do with it. But today I nearly died. I nearly died. I was on the highway and. And all of a sudden became to an. Career, literally screeching hops. And my sister was driving and a car. Definitely. And automatedly swerved away from that. And. That literally saved our life. And we were like, God was like, Push the car away. If they've not today. Really. They can't get into an accident today. Wow. Actor. After that, that whole incident. Our hearts. We're racing. And I turned to my sister, I said, where do you feel this tension distress? Whatever this fear building in your body where you feel it. And at that point, we kinder. Pies and felt what was going on with our bodies. And she said. I feel it in the back of my neck. I've never noticed that before. She said, I feel it in my heart. Wow. I've got it all in my stomach and I felt the maximal heart was racing. I'm a hardship. Pumping out of my chair. So. When, you know, what's going on with your body. At times we can. What are things that are possibly coming negative feelings that could be arising. Soon after. All right. And everybody can do that. So everyone could meditate. Right. And you may you put me in the mine of like shockers. Your. Chakra. Yeah. You mentioned earlier about, A. Panic attack. Or some people call them anxiety attacks And. And since you've, you've done a lot of research and, You've practiced a lot. Do people that previously have, or that. Have, Panic attacks when they start meditation. Does that normally decrease the, panic attacks? Does it go away? What have you seen? With that. Yeah, definitely. I've seen that there is. Not only that I've seen with gladly show. That people that meditate regularly. Reduced, they reduce the panic, the stress in their life. And part of that is. Breathing. Part of that is that mindfulness of what's happening to your body. So, for example, when I know that when I'm starting to cry, like I know tears are coming. The first place that I feel it's funny enough is in my throat. Um, so when I start to feel that kind of tightening and like I can't swallow and then my face turns red and then the eyes well up. When I start to feel that then I supposed to breathe and now I'm focused on my breath because I need to bring my temperature down. Right. And that's the beginning. That's the opening door to meditation is breath work. What's happening with your breath. Yeah. And before we started the podcast, we took a few breasts together. To relax and to prepare. And I really enjoyed that and it really calmed my spirit. It made me focus. And be centered on what we were about to. Uh, do today. And, I want to thank you for guiding me through that. and I'm so grateful that you didn't have a car accident today. And then God was with you all and you were able to, Grass yourself because you know, that could have easily thrown. One of you into a panic attack, it could have, you know, caused the more emotional trauma. But I get a sense that since you. You and your sister, both practice meditation. Correct. She has recently started her journey. And it's so beautiful because now I see her. Kind of bubbling over with the same excitement life. Oh, my God. If I just breathe, if I could pick a moment. If I'm silent, you know, I see that same excitement. And, um, it's just beautiful. And I know what you're talking about when you say that, because I can remember where. I, I used to be a skeptic about breathing. Until I started actually practicing it myself. and I would just tell myself, Shira, stop and breathe. And now like some mornings, when I'm rushing in the morning to work, I'll finally make it to work and I'll get to my desk and I'm like, oh, I still got to go sign in, but I'll stop. And I'll take some breaths. And I'll bring myself back down. And before I probably would've just, you know, stress myself out even more that day. Instead of bringing myself back down. And I think many times, a lot of us that haven't learned how to manage our stress and are still just running like nonstop with all this extra stress and all this extra pain, which we know, causes even more health issues, within us. I'm grateful for learning that technique. So. One thing that I'd want my listeners to understand. which is why it's so important for Simone to be with us today is to understand that it is way deeper, that we can even imagine when we focus on. our breaths. Our mindfulness and meditation. So once again, we're grateful. Thank you, Sharon. What is something people in the meditation industry? Um, Should start or stop doing. You just choose whichever one you want to focus on. Well, I, you, you were talking earlier about trauma. And trauma is so real, So, so real. In so many people for many different reasons. And, I think there are good intentions with people that are offering online meditation. But I think that if you have some type of. Meditation training or certification that may be a bit, a bit better. guided meditation can at time. Depending on what that person is saying it can uncover. Or step feelings that, um, the person listening to the center, they made a patient. May not be prepared to handle that. At time and they may need additional support. There's a fine line with the person that teaches meditation. Or I shouldn't say finally that the big line with the person that teaches meditation and the person that's the psychiatry. And we are not. The same. So getting that additional support maybe necessarily for some people that are new to meditation that are just jumping in and they're hitting it from a person that's not there. Who hasn't been trained to guide. So, what I'm hearing you say is because I feel like I'm that person that I turn on a guided meditation at night to help me get to sleep, which by the way, has helped me sleep. Our helped me fall asleep. On my own without any type of alternative sleep aid, if you know what I'm talking about. So yes, I do. I'm hearing you say, having a meditation practitioner in person helping to guide you through. Some of this trauma. With meditation can be way more beneficial than just turning on some random guided meditation. Correct. It can be, but also if you're experiencing. Severe bout of depression and trauma. You, might need more help than Jeff. How meditation practitioner you might want to consider getting additional support. Yeah, the meditation is great. And it's a tool that can be used to. To aid in the healing of the mind. But. There are edits to that meditation. Can't offer that unnecessary. Right. And so as a meditation practitioner, When you have someone that you are, Providing service for, it sounds like you recognize it and you will refer them. To excellently. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The people are talking about suicidal thoughts. And things of that nature. And meditation can support the process. But you need to speak to a professional. Right. They need more help. And then I think like after they do seek that help meditation can still be there. to support them through the continuous process of healing. Correct. It absolutely. Should be there. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I have, I have personally. Um, To do a meditation. And I'm on numerous. Especially when. It's in person. I was at a retreat and I sat through a meditation. And I was just. Balling. Crying. Nonstop. It unleashed and released. Things in me that, Needed to come out at that moment. You actually did your, independence study in India. Yeah. So when you traveled to India, was that. Uh, healing during for you while you were doing the independent study. Can you talk a little bit about that? Yeah, India is such a spiritual, country in so many ways. There's different deities. The Campos. The whole, the people is just like, there's a hundred there that. And that has a spiritual undertone to it. And going there, I was able to witness and be a part of so many different ceremonies. And it was a life changing experience. And so many ways. I mean, that's, again is a whole nother podcast. It's. It was just so different. That was part of your journey. yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely a part of the journey. And when you experienced, the crying and bawling. Was someone there to guide you through it. Yeah. Well, I was at this. I completely separate in different occasions. With the silent retreats that you go on, where you meditate. All day. And there's no electronics. At all. There's no book. There's no music there. You. And your spot. There's no talking, it's silent. But there are people that, um, meditation trainers. And the wonderful and brilliant. Joanne Hardy. Was there. And, Ruth King was there and she's another brilliant mind and a wonderful meditation practitioner. And, I was listening to the talk now. They're there and they can talk like the people that are attending. We listen. And, they were. Talking about, specifically about forgiveness of self. And, Now you're going to make me start crying again, shy. This is a safe. This is a safe space. Okay. And, um, you know, how we readily and often forgive others. But we walk around and don't forget for. Ourselves, maybe the shame and the hurt that we put ourselves. And, I don't know why nobody told me that before. I could forgive myself. My case to give other. Self-compassion. Compassion for self. Yes. And that opens up every. Thing inside of me because I was mad at myself. For all of the things I felt that I shouldn't. Or should not, should have, or should not have done in my life. And when I realized I could forgive myself. I tried. And in those tears, there was forgiveness. Yeah. Yeah. Self-compassion. That. In itself. You're right. No one teaches us that. It's always forgive this person for hurting you. Forgive that person for the pain. Make calls. But we forget. That we also have to do that for ourselves. Yeah. Most important. The most important. What do you wish your younger self knew about your current profession? I wish my youngest. Uh, I wish I had trusted my intuition more. I wish. I wish I trusted myself more. I thought I had to kind of fight my way through. No. Uh, everything had to be. I have to be afraid. And the moment I stopped fighting. And I let go of the notion that I was in control of anything. Anything I have control of it. I'm barely holding on to control of my staff. Um, I was free. I am free. You know, the universe provides me with everything that I need. So there was freedom in that. Absolutely. Those freedom. Oh my goodness. When you start trying to be in control of things, people, animal outcome. The pitch freedom. Yeah. It is. Ooh. If we could have known those things when we were younger, Yeah. Yeah, I think, working with, Teenagers. In a high school level. When you talk about these things to the young mind, they sometimes still don't grasp it. But I always say I plant the seed. When you plan a C. Is eventually may grow. With the right nurturing. so I always say I'm going to plant the seed in these young minds. And hopefully if it doesn't grow now that later it will grow. And they will learn, and understand these things. I want to let you know. That in the morning. I have a little walk. A little walk in with pain. That I do. And during my work, I listened to, Famous people from all over from basketball thing. You know, Different walks of life, but they're all famous. And. I will tell you that the seed that you plant. Are absolutely going to. Flourish into trees. And those trees will flourish into, Or chip or valleys. Of fruit. I've listened to this podcast and. I want to say nine out of 10 people, because they've told me their story. And nine out of 10 people talk about the teachers that inspired them. Wow. Yeah. And I think that's what. Helps me continue to do what I do. Because of that. Yeah. And even if I just. Help one. Students. I feel like. I've done something. And a lot of my students actually follow my podcast. I have a session over self-compassion. And forgiveness. So I try to make them follow and listen. And I'm not only do that for my students though, I also do it for my son. My son is 24 years old and we have talks and I feel like if anything ever happens to me, he always has my voice. yeah, even if it's just click and play on a podcast. What you bring as well in your profession? Whether you're helping, I don't know what your age group is. You have a specific age limit. Or I done. You don't know. Okay. So. Whether you're helping a young person or really old person. Betsy's going to be planted. And even in your profession, I remember my first time meditating. I did what you said happens when you said people say I can't meditate. That was me the very first time I tried it. the very first time I tried meditation, I was like, I can do this. Okay. This ain't working, you know, and I kinda gave up, but I always. Try things more than once. So I came to another phase in my life. And I tried it again and I came to another phase of my life and I cannot let go of it. I can imagine you possibly working with a client. And they may not get it at that moment. But they may come back to it in a different phase of their lives. So that's also. Yeah, that's also how you plant the seed. So. Yeah. That's amazing. I have one question that I do. But I do have, Whenever I finish. I have a question for you. Oh, you do. Yeah. That's going to be off the record off the record question. No. So we can. It's the way I like to ask the question. I like to leave people at the end of, At the end of the discussion. Before we get to me, I got another question for you. Because, yeah. my listeners are my champions. I call them champions and we're champions for life changes. Which is why the podcast is called mind, elevation health and wealth. And I like how you touched on it starts with the mind. So what are three major mindset beliefs that make you a champion? I like being a champion. I like to think of myself as a champion. I. I feel strong. One of the mindset. Beliefs is the concept of impermanence. Everything and everyone is. Always changing. The pain and the joy. Not just the pain, but the pain of the Jovi FIO. Today are not permanent. just like the clouds and the weather. We're always changing. I mean, since we've been on this call. Do you know, Ourselves. In our body has changed. Yes, you are actually a different person. You know, On average. A hundred million new red books. That are being formed in our body every minute. So it's constantly changing. So that's, I guess the very first one is, the constant pumping permanent. So when you're feeling like today, The last page is no. And we hear this all the way every day. Tomorrow's a better. That day. You know, nothing is 10 minutes. I never mindset, belief that I liked. And I wholeheartedly believe in leading with love. Because, like I said earlier, anything done with love is genuine, heartfelt and mindful. Yes. And, um, I think the ed, there are so many other things that I believe in For three. Um, I think I also like the champion, the belief that, at our most profound level, Interconnected. And that not one thing. They exist in isolation. The breath that you grieve in. Is the same breakfast. Somebody just exhale. So we're all tied to each other and we know that anytime. Brett goes. Out of our body. With the particles of ourselves. So I have a little bit of you inside of me. You have a little bit of me inside of you and still is the circle of life. You know, the plants. We need them to help. Help us bravery. Yeah. So, yeah, you told me about that before, because that was one thing I, I never even thought about or considered. And it's so amazing to think about things that way, when we're in the same room, We're breathing the same air. We know this, but just to think of it, of how we are connected. Just takes that on a whole nother level. Yeah. Yeah. All connected. I mean, Martin Luther king had a quote that. I don't want to mess up, but it said something to the effect that, you know, I'll never be what. I going to be a mess. You are what you. What to do something to that effect. So we all, I mean, We could see the effects on. Feel the effects. Uh, Bombings in the Ukraine and Russia. I mean. Our hearts go out to those people in these field. That deep within, uh, when we see the death and destruction happening. You know? Yes. So, Seeing that we're not connected, but yet we feel that deep sense of connection. It's hard. And I have to, you can't say that. You know, we're connected to each other. We are all connected. Yeah. Yeah. I'm ready for my question. Let's see. I have two ways that I could add to answer it and I can get up out of the classes and you can answer any. Either way that you want. When you leave when you leave the room. How do you want to be remembered or when you leave the earth? How do you want to be remembered? I can answer both. You could ask it both. Okay. Why. How about, could you want. Okay. When I leave the room. I want to be remembered. As the person that. May someone either laugh or smile. I'll always want to bring good energy when I walk into the room. So of course I want to leave good energy. When I walk out of the room. and when I leave. The earth. Like when I leave. When you, Gone to the other side. Oh one. Okay. You. You want to be remembered? When I'm gone to the other side. I want to be, Remembered as. A person that. Was, uh, advocate for just positive life change and growth. And elevation and inspiration. and healing as well. so I just want to be remembered in that sense. And I think that's also another reason why. Aye. Started recording. My podcast is so that. I can leave that legacy of healing and growth and elevation. So, yeah, that's how we'll want to leave. Good. So now we work everyday towards. That? Yes. Love. Leading with love. Leading with love. Yeah. So, yeah. I'm a li. And I'm a leave with love. How about that? So, yeah, that's what I, that's what I think I'll do. Yeah, that was great. So, once again, um, you all can, Think about how you are going to start your journey of meditation and where if you want to start with the right place. Go to someones website is the meditation spot.com. That's the T H E meditation, M E D I T a T I O N spot S P O t.com. And then also follow her on Instagram. At modern meditation.
