Key Quotes:
● “I always love to inspire people whenever I get the opportunity to teach people. I love seeing that flash of awakening in their eyes and it's just a very wonderful world that I'm envisioning for all of us. And I work a lot with raising consciousness, as a whole of humanity along with Mother Earth.” - Bradford Tilden
● “Meditation takes you out of the 3D, and crystals are multidimensional beings when you feel their energy that's taking you out of the 3D. And I think that's where we're all headed. Mindfulness and being in the present moment ironically takes you out of the 3D because you become so much more aware of everything else beyond the physical.” - Bradford Tilden
● “The sound is just everywhere. You know, just because you can't hear it doesn't mean it's not producing a sort of vibration or frequency. And when you find the right frequency, you can work with it therapeutically, and your music soothes the savage beast and music helps to unlock emotions, and brings back memories.” - Bradford Tilden
● “I believe that when you're enlightened, you're able to maintain that state of centered connectedness, groundedness at all times. But as humans, we oscillate and we're looking for tools to bring us back into that state, to maybe stay in that state a little bit longer, or to have our fundamental vibration within ourselves, rise a notch and be just that little bit higher and stronger.” - Bradford Tilden
● “Just acknowledge within yourself, that you are a being of love and light, that your intentions are pure, loving, and all that you do. And once you get to that mindfulness moment, just say I am a being of love and light and know that you're here now and the best thing that you can do to help with all that noise is to stay positive, have a strong vibration, and share that positivity.” - Bradford Tilden

“I love the writing process. One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to go in and create something out of nothing, something that did not exist before.” – Javier Colon
“When I’m not having the greatest day, sometimes I put on a certain kind of music that will either make me feel happy…that is kind of putting yourself in a mindful place.” – Javier Colon
