    Classic Replay! Meditation- -Where to Start
    Jun 11 2025
    🪷 Episode Summary: In this classic replay, Cheri Flake brings us back to basics with heartfelt humor and soulful honesty. Through personal stories, down-to-earth wisdom, and a warm shout-out to Louise Hay and Davidji, Cheri shares how to truly begin a daily meditation practice—without overcomplicating it. Whether you're a binge meditator, a meditation dropout, or totally new to the cushion, this episode is your permission slip to just start—three minutes at a time. Bonus: includes a calming breathwork-based meditation to kickstart your practice with presence and grace. ✨ Three Key Learning Points:
    • Three Minutes > Zero Minutes: Starting small, even just three minutes a day, beats lofty goals you never stick to. Build the habit, not the hype.
    • RPM = Rise, Pee, Meditate: This simple formula helps anchor your practice before the world (or your phone) steals your focus. Mornings work best—even for night owls.
    • Feel Good to Change: You can't shame yourself into transformation. Real change starts with compassion and showing up, not should-ing yourself into guilt.
    💌 Mentions & Shout-Outs:
    • 📖 Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind by Shunryu Suzuki – Back-to-basics spiritual inspiration.
    • 🎉 You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay – The queen of affirmations and thought power.
    • 🌬️ 16 Seconds to Bliss by Davidji – Breath practice featured in the episode.
    • 🎙️ The Skeptic Metaphysicians – Podcast Cheri recently guested on. Woo meets wonder.

  • Think Like the You You’re Becoming

    Think Like the You You’re Becoming
    Jun 3 2025
    In this heartfelt episode, Cheri Flake dives into one of the most transformative (and tricky!) mindset shifts of all: thinking like the version of you that you want to become. With wit, warmth, and wisdom from decades of therapy work, she unpacks why we’re not our thoughts—and how to separate from them using meditation, mindfulness, and sneaky brain hacks. This episode includes a powerful guided mantra meditation using Ham Sa (“I am That”), and even features an original song, “Joy,” by her band 13 Stories, written 18 years ago with this very message in mind. ✨ 🌟 Key Learning Points:
    • You are not your thoughts—you're the one noticing them. Meditation helps you see that thoughts are just options, not truths.
    • Convince your toddler brain by using affirmations with emotion and storytelling to make your beliefs feel real and sticky.
    • Flip the 'what ifs' to serve you. Instead of catastrophizing, play out best-case scenarios with emotional clarity.
    📣 Mentions & Shout-Outs:
    • 💻 Byron Katie’s “The Work” — Mind-shifting reframing tools.
    • 📖 Bhagavad Gita translated by Stephen Mitchell — A poetic and soulful sacred text.
    • 🎶 “Joy” by 13 Stories — Sheri’s song featured by Wayne Dyer on Hay House Radio.
    • 🎤 Wayne Dyer’s Inspiration Show on Hay House — For the spiritual spark plug vibe.
    • 🧠 Tip: Label your thoughts (“future,” “worry,” “planning”) to make them easier to release.
    • 🦋 Butterfly "what-ifs" — A sweet metaphor for gently redirecting anxious or repetitive thoughts.
    • 📧 Sheri wants to hear from you! Email her how you're taking control of your thoughts.
    🎧 Guided Meditation Included:
    Yes! A beautiful mantra-based meditation using Ham Sa (“I am That”) to help you gently return to center and reclaim your narrative. 💫 Final Thought:
    You’re allowed to change your thoughts. And when you do, your whole life shifts with them.

    📝 Episode Summary:In this powerful and intimate episode, the Stress Therapist, Cheri Flake, shares the deeply personal story of her husband's journey through a life-threatening cancer diagnosis and how his established meditation practice became a cornerstone of his remarkable healing.

      Regular meditation practice builds resilience and emotional strength, preparing you for life’s inevitable crises before they arrive.

    2. The Ego’s Resistance to Stillness:
