   The Invisible Era: Owning the Space Between

   Featuring soundbath frequencies by  ⁨@staticisnoise⁩  (https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCmZCBoLlSSJpOatPOQFqHxA) used with permission and my endless gratitude 🙏👽 Thank you STATiC! 💟🌸 Nearly a year ago, Coach Miki led a meditation on liminal space that didn't quite land. This week she opens the vault on it — and rebuilds it — after a year that became her own bardo: a stretch of dissolving, waiting, and quiet becoming that she's only now beginning to understand. This is an episode about the invisible era between who you've been and who you're becoming. Then she guides you through the reimagined practice: rising above the twilight, resting inside the chrysalis, and letting your wings begin to open. In this episode: Liminal space and the threshold (limen) The grey line: why the Earth is always, somewhere, in twilight Bardo — the Tibetan "in-between," and the bardo of this life Śūnyatā: emptiness as spaciousness, not absence Imaginal discs and what really happens inside a chrysalis Why this practice didn't land the first time — and what a year in the bardo taught her A thank-you to Jay Chase (@thejaychase) and the Don't Touch My Mindset community Guided practice: The Invisible Era — the grey line, the chrysalis, and the wings Mantra: I am not lost in the in-between. I am being remade in the unseen. Reflect: Where in your life are you standing in a doorway — not who you were, not yet who you're becoming? What might be possible if the in-between felt nourishing instead of frightening? Practice this week: Notice the micro-bardos: the pause before you answer, the moment you open a door. And if you can, take a short walk at dusk and let the in-between light remind you how beautiful transition can be.

   Vision Casting: Meeting Your Future Self

   Featuring soundbath frequencies by staticisnoise (https://www.youtube.com/@staticisnoise), used with permission and my endless gratitude 🙏👽 Thank you STATiC! 💟🌸 In December 2025, at the last Live Metta Moment before the holiday break, Coach Miki looked at a Zoom room of seven or eight people and realized she'd finally stepped into her power. This week, she opens the vault on that night: a future visualization she now calls a vision casting ceremony. Then she guides you through the practice itself… arriving five years into your future, inhabiting it, and meeting your future self face to face. In this episode: The last Live Metta Moment of 2025 — and a small but mighty Sangha A thank-you to Jay Chase (@thejaychase) (https://thejaychase.com/) and the Don't Touch My Mindset community "What you appreciate, appreciates" — Lynne Twist Goals vs. embodiment: who you're becoming, not just what you're achieving The Nibbedhika Sutta: intention as the root of karma Why this is a vision casting ceremony — reflective and active Guided practice: Meeting Your Future Self, with closing metta blessings Reflect: How have I embodied my growth — and how will I keep embodying it in the season ahead?

   An Aura of Safety, with a Side of Spaghetti

   Featuring soundbath frequencies by  ⁨@staticisnoise⁩  (https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCmZCBoLlSSJpOatPOQFqHxA) , used with permission and my endless gratitude 🙏👽 Thank you STATiC! 💟🌸 This week, Coach Miki opens the vault on a practice that started as an experiment… and stuck. She shares how a "warm cocoon of safety light," suggested by someone very special, became the heart of this meditation; how being a deep empath and a former opera and musical theatre performer shaped her love of visualization; and pulls back the curtain on how she builds every guided practice: arrival, body scan, then visualization. Then she guides you through the practice itself: finding your Still Point, building your Aura of Safety, and weaving your Nest of Peace. In this episode: "Throwing spaghetti at the wall" — the experiment behind this practice Empaths, deep feeling, and where all that feeling goes From the stage to the cushion: visualization as a creative muscle Why pacing matters in guided meditation How Coach Miki structures every practice — and why the body scan is for awakening, not sleeping Guided practice: The Still Point, The Aura of Safety & The Nest of Peace Reflect: When doubt arises this week — where is your Still Point? What color is your light?
