However, the wonderful Debbie Botterill (also known as Debbie OM), has very kindly offered to step in and share some her Wisdom and teachings on the Silence. Debbie is the owner of… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Silence Speaks From Its Own Intelligence
When we sit for Meditation, our Heart Word Mantras carry our body into a state of rest. When the body is at rest it begins to heal. Healing is an active process, which can look like thoughts arising in the mind. Many people see "busy" Meditations, ie lots of thoughts arising as a "bad" Meditation… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Body Mind Connection
I was listening to a well known astrologer the other day whom was talking about an asteroid called Chariklo. In mythology Chariklo is Chiron's wife. Chiron is a centaur known as the wounded healer and in astrology, depending on which sign and house he lands in at the time of your birth, relates to the… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Silence Is Underrated
I don't know whether you've noticed but the mind has a habit of making things complicated, especially when it comes to your Meditation practice.

Due to the tide being way out, in this little adventure we were blessed to… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Deep Listening & Angel Encounters
When the body is physically depleted it can seem difficult to make the choice to Meditate. Even if you do choose to sit on your Meditation cushion or chair, when exhausted you may find yourself slumped, dozing off, doing the "nodding dog", ending up with a stiff neck and likely a side order of negative,… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: What To Do When You’re Exhausted
Last Wednesday my van steering decided to pack up when I was visiting my daughter in Bedford. Power steering fluid dripping all over the place, steaming on the hot engine, and as you can imagine the van is rather heavy and unsafe to steer with no power steering.
