Don’t believe your thoughts. It’s also sensible to not automatically believe other peoples. A hard lesson for many of us that have not followed through on our own intuition because another professes to know better. Thoughts are not a solid foundation on which to base your reality and I’m gonna go out on limb here… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Beyond Belief
The archetype of the Phoenix is a great analogy for what happens when we Meditate. In life, we may be coasting along, thinking everything is fine and dandy. Maybe we find ourselves in place of dull contentment, or we have not the eyes yet to see the bounty and beauty before us. Or maybe we… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Rising From The Ashes
A friend has been taking me through an art Mandala making process. We started with layer 1 that represented the Earth. Layer 2 represented Flow. Layer 3 represented what we want (or at least think we want, lol) to bring into existence. It has been a few months since we did layer 3 and the… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: The Art Of Non-Attachment
I'm busy preparing for at Back To The Roots Festival this weekend with another Silent Sanctuary. You can read my blog The Need For Spaces To be Silent to find out why I do this.

A shout out here for Ya'Acov and Susannah Darling Kahn for creating such a beautiful container and Community. You can check it out here. I am realising how important Conscious movement is for this particular… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: The Light Within
Our Meditation practice can create a fertile soil in which life takes root. What has been planted? What is growing? Beautiful fragrant flowers, playful ferns, strong Oak Trees? Or is your psychological landscape overrun with weeds? There's no need to demonise the weeds though. Talk to any herbalist and they'll tell you of the healing… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Back To The Roots
Not only is it a Monday but it's also the first day of the week and the first day of the month. This is the perfect time to get clear on how to create and play with your "Heart Words" to Meditate! Tonight we'll create "Heart Words" for this year (if you haven't done this… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Wisdom Of The Heart
The journey of Meditation is one of moving from self violence to Self Love. It's not though, as simple as swapping violent, negative, denigrating, vicious, doubting thoughts and beliefs for positive, uplifting, kind, supportive and trusting ones! Why is this? What do both negative and helpful positive uplifting thoughts have in common? THEY ARE ALL… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Self Violence To Self Love
