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. It has very high expectations of you and will berate you, judge you and put you down if you haven't reached Zen Master status, ie no awareness of thought, 100% Silent… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Keep It Simple
Silence is here. What does this even mean? The answer cannot be found in the minds questioning, in fact the more we try to think about the Silence, the further away the Silence appears.. And yet, beyond all our thinking, philosophising and analysing, the Silence is still here. The only way to understand this statement… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Silence Is Here
I had so much fun hopping over these stepping stones - Penmaen - Gower Peninsula It's Monday again, Autumn is settling in and I've been enjoying the flames and warmth of my little log burner after the last 3 weeks in van. It's been quite an adventure doing Meditation cafe on the move, first at… Continue reading Meditation Cafe Link, What I’ve Been Up To & Whats On
It's in times of transition that your practice is likely to suffer, or any time where there is a change in your routine. How you navigate these times, literally determines whether or not you inadvertently cause yourself suffering. It is true that Meditating every day at consistent times, is the ideal way to Meditate for… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Navigating Transitions With Eyes Open Practice

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. Not wanting to risk driving back to… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Living With Trauma & SPD
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
