I cannot tell you why it is or at what point it will happen, but if you keep up a regular practice of eyes closed Meditation (focused on Silence) you will begin to notice that the well of Calmness within you starts to naturally expand. At first you think that you're closing your eyes to… Continue reading Meditation Cafe : A Little Bit Of Calm
I'm dedicating this blog and Meditation Cafe tonight, to my friend, singer and songwriter Ch'Lu and her young cousins. A message from Ch'Lu: "I created this evocative & comforting 3D sonic journey in response to the recent, devastating shooting of my cousins, Shlomi and Shahar, taken too soon in the midst of the current hate… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Support In A Crisis
A new lady in my class today, proclaimed at the end of it, that she realised she hasn't been breathing properly for years. The class was therapeutic in its nature with the intention for students to not only become more aware of the diaphragm but also to expand their awareness of the subtle energies of… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Are You Breathing Correctly?

We are all breathing the same air, we are all connected through Consciousness. Even if you… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Overwhelm & The Universal Nervous System

I will talk more about my own mystical connection with Hazrat in another blog, suffice to say that many roads I take somehow lead to him! For those that didn't see the previous… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Synchronicity & Contemplating Humility
Following the "I haven't got time to Meditate" thought is one of the biggest trap doors to sabotaging your Meditation practice. Occasionally it may be true and yet the majority of the time, well, it simply isn't true. It is more likely that you're prioritising other things that your mind deems more important, so there… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: When You Haven’t Got Time
My Heart Word today is LOVE. I've been working today on my other website Blue Star Therapies (to be relaunched this week!). I took it offline whilst getting clear on what it is I'm actually offering.
