Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hello, book lovers, and welcome to Author's Corner. Get ready
for a whirlwind tour of the latest and greatest reads
and the fascinating stories behind them. Join us as we
chat with authors and newsmakers from all over the world,
diving into their journeys and creative processes. And now here's
the host of Author's Corner, the Emmy Award winning Kate Delay.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Wow, I'm telling you what on Author's Corner. This woman
is Dinah. Might you can see her bright smile? It's
Cynthia and Chase. Think about this, how many of us
are stressed here on Author's Corner. From stressed to blessed.
It's five simple meditations that will change your life. That's
(00:44):
how you do it. And she's got those steps and
she's got the book to prove it. And the book
is powerful. My friends. We are so thrilled to have
this conversation with you. Cynthia, thanks for hanging out with us.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Oh, thank you for inviting me and I am thrilled
to be with you today. And hopes that people will
get the message.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
What made you write this book? How'd you take this course?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I think it all began for me around the time
of COVID. I began to feel that the message of
meditation could help people world around, because COVID wasn't just
in our country, it was everywhere. And I knew that
it had helped me so much in my life. It
(01:29):
had to help a few people anyway, if not many.
So I sat down and I put it together and
I published it. And that's how it came about. So
as about three years ago, as COVID was rampant, So.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
COVID's rampant, people are stressed more than ever. Thus your
title is so perfect. And were you always someone who meditated?
You know those five simple steps that we're talking about.
So do you have those fives full steps?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
No? I did not. I found those five simple steps
and I put everything into my own writing. But I
was in grad school and it was geared towards midlife
career change agults. I was in my thirties, my mid thirties,
and I was single. I had four kids, young kids.
(02:22):
I had been traveling back and forth for grad school
to get my master's in psychology and counseling and depth psychology.
And I was a nervous wreck, to be honest with you.
So I was talking with a friend at lunch one day,
and going through a divorce was the tip of it all,
(02:43):
and she suggested that I find somebody around where I
lived who taught meditation, and I thought, wow, I've got
to try that. So when I arrivee back home, it
was a school looking for a long like four days
every month, and then we had ton of homework and
interviews and that type of thing. When I returned home,
(03:03):
I did a little research. It was a gentleman who
taught meditation, and he was just a brilliant man. He
had traveled the world and he had seen meditation in
many different places. So I went into a class and
I knew that the first time that I was there,
(03:24):
all of this is going to help. I went home,
and by this second time I meditated, I was hooked.
I felt such a sense of calm and looked at
life even from a different perspective a little bit at
that point, but I found that the longer or more time,
I should say that I meditated every day, twice a
(03:46):
day if I possibly could, and that was most every day.
My life really changed. You can imagine with four young
boys and a young daughter, what kind of what I
was going through. Boys getting to sh and against. My
daughter was really young, but later in life females just
tend to be they have a lot of hormones like
(04:07):
a roller coaster. But it helped me immensely with how
I looked at life, how I viewed like, how I
infe and.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
So again that tagline five simple steps to learn meditation
and change your life. It changed your life. It isn't
perfect what we call tagline on your book. You know,
from stressed to blessed, So you think stress to bless
how it happened to you? Did it? Just did you
(04:38):
gravitate towards the meditation? Because you know people are watching
this and they're saying, oh, that sounds so good. But gosh, Cynthia,
I struggle. There's so many thoughts going in my head
roaming around. How do I shut them out? I can't
do that. Oh I can't sit there quiet for you
know forty minutes. What do you what do you tell us?
Give us some sneak peak?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I will, okay, sure you can get rid of the
thoughts on your head. And just to say I still
get them from time to time. That's just normal. We're human.
We have a lot going on, so we find a
way to have those thoughts disperse in our mind. So
(05:22):
that's at the beginning. Let me just say that I'd
like for people to find a place where they're comfortable,
and then we're big in the breathing and then the
meditation and the meditation. As thoughts come up and you
can't quiet your mind, there are ways to deal with it,
(05:43):
such as staying God is love, or peace, peace, peace,
or so hum which means I am, and you can
just repeat it until it kind of goes away, and
then you're in a space of calm and it takes
(06:03):
you into the rest of your meditation. I suggest that
people meditate. This is going to sound crazy, but twenty minutes,
five minutes of breathing, twenty minutes of meditation if you can.
If you can't do twenty minutes, then fifteen. If not fifteen,
do ten. Just do whatever you can. I'll help to
improve your life. And if you begin in the morning
(06:27):
with it and then either before dinner or at the
end of the night do it again, it helps to
build on your way of being and giving you greater
awareness about life and actually about yourself. As you go
within and go deeper in your meditations and you saw.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I mean with you, with children, the things that you
had going on around you, you still were able to
find that place. Once you had that moment, you realize, wow,
this is powerful, right.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yes, I would tell my kids sometimes the boys wouldn't
all be there with my daughter, Miche and my have
friends every and I would just tell them all, I'm
going to go meditate. So if you can't keep it
down so I don't have too much noise, and then
I'll let you know what I'm done, and no problem
at all. I just wouldn't meditate in my bedroom because
(07:19):
it was away from everything else. I had a chair
that I like to sit in. I have a difficult
time sitting on the floor, but for many people that's
not a problem. So I encourage people to find their
best place, whether it's inside or sitting outside, to meditate,
and to find a position that's the best for them.
I prefer a chair, some people prefer the floor. See
(07:43):
people will prefer a light down. As long as you
don't fall asleep, that's just fine.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
So doing this obviously changed your life. This is why
you have this in the title. You know, changing your life.
Do you think it's just made you a better person?
Dealing with people better not immediately, you know, that flash
to anger that even really good people have happened to
them because they're so caught up in so much.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Absolutely, And that's not to say that I don't still
sometimes have that rushed thought or decision. But what I
find is if I am being overwhelmed, let's say, by
a crowd or by what somebody's saying and talking a lot,
and I find this calmness began to float over me
(08:30):
and it feels wonderful. Does that always happen? As long
as I'm not in so much of my ego and
I allow the meditation that I have practiced to come through.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
It works.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
But if I don't think about it, I'm still calmer.
But it's better when you recall what meditation does for you.
And before we're off today, i'd like to give a
little example of what it's like as you meditate.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Absolutely good. So we'll do that and tell us a
little bit more about the book. Give us a little
bit more about the setup in the book, what people
can expect when they crack it open.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Okay, thank you. I was just looking at it before
we came on. And my purpose for this book I
think that's the most important part of what I had
to say is that I want the light that has
grown in my heart center from the practice of meditation
(09:41):
to spread out onto the road or the path of
others who are around. And I really think that people
are drawn to those who are calm and normal more
or less, but calm and seem receptive to what you're saying.
I think it makes you a better listener to be
(10:02):
a meditator. And so Michael was and still is to
introduce people to the practice of meditation so that the
light that has grown in you shows into the path
of others and they want to be a part of it.
And more and more of the people that do it.
(10:23):
It's spreads and it might seem minor, but says one
way we can help and bring in this chaotic world
back to a somewhat normal place.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah, for you in writing this book, you know, finding
that path to meditation, giving us that great example of
what you told the kids, all of that, and then
doing this practice you know, no matter what. Now having
it in a book and putting that all together. What
does that feel like?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Oh goodness. I was astounded when I got I received
the book and the mail from being published, and it's
hard to believe, and you know I was done. It
was like, oh no, what. I still pick it up
and read it from time to time because they're a
reminder to myself. I don't get a chance to meditate
(11:14):
twice a day all the time, or even sometimes once
a day if life is busy. But I have meditated
for such a long while, many years, that I have
the results of it inside of me, and it stays
with you. No matter what. You have only meditated five times,
(11:35):
it's changed you. If you've meditated many times, it's really
changed you, and you will feel it and people will say, wow,
you're different, and it's a good different.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
It's a good different, absolutely, And it's so interesting because,
as you said, now more than ever there's things are
moving so fast. There's much more chaos around all of us.
And no matter what age, no matter who's listening, whatever
age you are, who's watching this, there is something about
finding that stillness and being able to grow it. But
(12:11):
I love what you said. You don't. It hasn't have
to be regimented. If you can't, if something happens, you're traveling, whatever,
you can only do it once a day, or you've
only been able to do it a handful of times.
You found right away that you were changed almost immediately.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Correct, Sure did. I found what I needed. And I
just think as a spiritual practice is what I call it.
Other people might just see it as a common practice,
but I describe it as a spiritual practice because I
know that I have grown spirituality as a result of it,
and that means that my heart is expanded. I understand
(12:50):
more my need to really listen and when to speak
and when to hold it in and many other things.
And it's helped a lot with having kids. Being patient.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah, patience boy, there's the short supply of patients I
think around the world right now. So tell us how
we can do this, she said. We're going to give
us an exercise that people.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I would like if people choose to be a part
of this, it would just be great. Otherwise they'll be
watching us as we do it.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Okay, So I want to invite everybody now to gently
close your eyes, and i'd like for you, please, I
invite you to inhale as I count to four through
your nose one two, three four, and exhale through your
(13:46):
nose one two, three four inhale one two three four
Exhale one two three four Inhale one two three four
(14:16):
Exhale one two three four. And as you have your
eyes gently closed, to sit in the silence of what
is there? And I invite you now to place your
(14:46):
hands one over the other across your heart center and
notice what is there? Did you feel anything during this time?
Is it something that perhaps you can write down and
(15:06):
go back to. And now, very gently I invite you
to put your hands calmly into your lap and very
gently open your eyes and come back to the room.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Wow. I mean, I feel I'm a person who meditates,
and you and I talked about that, but I really
felt that and correct. There's an example for I hope
many that have done this of just that centering style
that you have that you talk about, that can be
done really honestly. Anywhere you could.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Do this right, Yes, anywhere. You can be on a
bus or a train and you block out the sounds.
This was a little rushed, of course, because we didn't
have that much time, and it's more meaningful when you do.
But if you only have five minutes to do meditation,
that helps you. But the more the better.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, absolutely. And of course people can get your great
book on Amazon, Barnes and Elble wherever great books are sold.
And what are other ways they can reach you? Tell
us about your website.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Yes, a website will be coming up hopefully within the week,
and it has information on that and an email how
they can reach me they have any questions, I'll get
back to them. If they write to me, I'm happy
to get back to them. And yes, I'm very excited
for this opportunity to be with you because I know
(16:42):
it will bring the opportunity to many people to practice this.
If they don't even have to feel like they need anything,
they can just practice and they'll get something out of it.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
And I think you're saying this, but it's good to
re emphasize this. What is your because this is such
an important mission. What is your hope that people take
away from watching us, from hearing this conversation.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
That there's help that you can help yourself in an
inward way. Sure, you can go talk to somebody, you
can get counseling, you can be miserable and just stay
that way, but this really helps you to get the
essence of awareness of calmness. A different feeling in life.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah, it's those five simple steps to learn meditation to
change your life again. That's the tagline. The book is
from Stressed to Bless Cynthia Chase. Really, honestly, it was
very calming, peaceful and wonderful to have this conversation with you.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Oh, thank you so much. I really appreciate the opportunity
to be with you and just spread the word to
people who are listening or watch team.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Absolutely, pick this book up now, will change your life.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Yes, I hope so m hm

Speaker 3 (02:02):
No? I did not. I found those five simple steps

was in grad school and it was geared towards midlife
career change agults. I was in my thirties, my mid thirties,
and I was single. I had four kids, young kids.
(02:22):
I had been traveling back and forth for grad school
to get my master's in psychology and counseling and depth psychology.
And I was a nervous wreck, to be honest with you.
So I was talking with a friend at lunch one day,
and going through a divorce was the tip of it all,
(02:43):
and she suggested that I find somebody around where I

Exhale one two three four Inhale one two three four
(14:16):
Exhale one two three four. And as you have your
eyes gently closed, to sit in the silence of what
is there? And I invite you now to place your
(14:46):
hands one over the other across your heart center and
notice what is there? Did you feel anything during this time?
Is it something that perhaps you can write down and
(15:06):
go back to. And now, very gently I invite you
to put your hands calmly into your lap and very
gently open your eyes and come back to the room.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Wow. I mean, I feel I'm a person who meditates,
and you and I talked about that, but I really
felt that and correct. There's an example for I hope
many that have done this of just that centering style
that you have that you talk about, that can be
done really honestly. Anywhere you could.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Do this right, Yes, anywhere. You can be on a
bus or a train and you block out the sounds.
This was a little rushed, of course, because we didn't
have that much time, and it's more meaningful when you do.
But if you only have five minutes to do meditation,
that helps you. But the more the better.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, absolutely. And of course people can get your great
book on Amazon, Barnes and Elble wherever great books are sold.
And what are other ways they can reach you? Tell
us about your website.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Yes, a website will be coming up hopefully within the week,
and it has information on that and an email how
they can reach me they have any questions, I'll get
back to them. If they write to me, I'm happy
to get back to them. And yes, I'm very excited
for this opportunity to be with you because I know
(16:42):
it will bring the opportunity to many people to practice this.
If they don't even have to feel like they need anything,
they can just practice and they'll get something out of it.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
And I think you're saying this, but it's good to
re emphasize this. What is your because this is such
an important mission. What is your hope that people take
away from watching us, from hearing this conversation.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
That there's help that you can help yourself in an
inward way. Sure, you can go talk to somebody, you
can get counseling, you can be miserable and just stay
that way, but this really helps you to get the
essence of awareness of calmness. A different feeling in life.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah, it's those five simple steps to learn meditation to
change your life again. That's the tagline. The book is
from Stressed to Bless Cynthia Chase. Really, honestly, it was
very calming, peaceful and wonderful to have this conversation with you.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Oh, thank you so much. I really appreciate the opportunity
to be with you and just spread the word to
people who are listening or watch team.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Absolutely, pick this book up now, will change your life.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Yes, I hope so m hm
