Today's guided meditation is an affirmations practice. You can think of it as practicing the beliefs or mindsets you'd like to carry forward in your day to day life. It's an incredibly powerful practice that puts the predictive power of your brain to work for you to create the future you want. This session begins with a simple mindfulness of breath practice, simply resting in awareness of the sensations of breathing in the body. After settling the mind on the breath, I invite you to bring to min...

Are you listening to what you body is telling you? In this guided meditation we practice bringing a kind curious, loving awareness to our body. We begin by checking in with ourselves to see how we are arriving. Then we practice a guided body scan, bringing loving awareness to feeling each part of the body. Finally we finish by bringing loving kindness (compassion) to our body, which makes our entire existence possible. Full Show Notes | https://bit.ly/3ovTt35 More Inspiring Interviews | https://...

One of the most important parts of living a fulfilled and happy life is answering the question "What is enough?". It seems simple but in our culture of "more, more, more" this question looms large for all of us; not just with our money but with our time, energy, effort, and so much more. We may feel like we don't have enough, that we're not doing enough or even that we, ourselves, are not enough. I know I've felt all of these and am still reflecting to learn more on how these beliefs show up in ...

Impermanence - the fact of life that everything is constantly changing and nothing stays the same for long - can be best observed and experienced within our own body. I took this picture in November 2017 on the last day of my 10 day silent Vipassana meditation retreat in Northern California. It was at this retreat that I truly observed the impermanence of life, not on an intellectual level but on an experiential level. At this retreat we practiced body scan meditation, being aware of each part o...

"Imagine that your body and even your mind are rooted, grounded, planted here in this spot while the crazy world just keeps on spinning." - Adam Coelho This quote captures what this grounding meditation practice is all about. A lot of the time, especially theses days, it feels like we're caught in a strong storm. It feels like we're being blown in many different directions and it's hard to maintain our balance and stability. Mindfulness helps us to regain our stability by grounding in the timel...

Welcome to The Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond. I'm your host Adam Coelho and I'm so glad you're here. Often our busy minds feel like the choppy waves of the ocean during a storm. But even during a storm, if you drop below the surface just 10-15 feet, the water is calmer and quieter. I like to think of meditation as a practice of dropping in, dropping below the busy and tumultuous waves of my mind, into the calmer, quieter ...

In life it's easy to get pulled off course despite the best intentions. I find that meditation and the cultivation of mindfulness offers a moment by moment experience of this fact of life. Despite our best intentions to focus our awareness on our breath, our attention wanders away into distraction, story, planning, etc. It can be minutes before we even notice we've been pulled away. But the beautiful thing about the practice is that once we notice our mind has wandered, we are already aware agai...

Welcome to The Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond. I'm your host Adam Coelho and I'm so glad you're here. As we transition seasons from Spring to Summer, what are you carrying that is no longer serving you? It may be the weight of things you said you would do or change when at the start of the year. It may be obvious or it may be more subtle. I know that I personally have been noticing a story in my head about all the things I...

Welcome to the Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond. On today's guided meditation we practice sending compassion and loving kindness to the people of India who are suffering terribly under the overwhelming 4th wave of COVID-19.

It may not immediately solve the issue but it orients your mind towards compassion, towards helpin...

Have you been thinking about giving meditation a try? Meaning to try it? Or have you tried it and meant to get back to it? To establish a regular practice? If so, this practice is for you. I recorded this practice, a guided introduction, as an invitation to anyone who wants to try meditation and mindfulness, whether they've tried it in the past. I chose to keep it incredibly simple since after all, mindfulness is really simple. It's really just paying attention to the present moment with an atti...

Welcome to the Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond. I’m your host Adam Coelho and I’m so glad you’re here. One way to speed up your journey to financial independence is to train yourself to spot opportunities and to take action when you find them. This could be a new job, reconnecting with an old friend or colleague or trying a side hustle. When your mind is ready to see opportunities, the possibilities are endless. Today’s gui...

Our body is constantly giving us rich information (raw data) about what’s going on inside us; what we’re feeling. If we pay attention, we can use that information to guide our thinking and actions more effectively. Unfortunately most of the time we are unaware of all of this information because we simply aren’t paying attention. We haven’t trained ourselves to tune into the body and to our emotions in the body. For me personally this has always been a challenge. I’m just not naturally very aware...
