I'm having one of those days where Brian (aka my brain) has literally presented me with a thousand things that could be written in this blog, so I've given him the day off and let my Heart Word for the day, which is "Play", lead the way. To be honest, I haven't been feeling very… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: The Spirit Of Play
The message emphasises the importance of "keep on loving", learning to love oneself amid struggles and setbacks. It challenges the notion of unconditional love, promoting self-acceptance and compassion instead. True love requires first recognising the internal wellspring of love inside ones own Heart. The author encourages continuous self-love and connection with others through this understanding.
If you listen very carefully, there's a voice inside your head that you associate as "you". Once you become aware of this "you" voice, it becomes much easier to witness it and on days when it's not seeing the world through a rose tinted lens, to not let it pull you down an abyss of… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Those Sneaky Thoughts
I'm just gonna leave you to contemplate this statement and that when you are Present, you are a gift to the world. Yes I know, that's very cheesy, but it is the time of year for cheese and wine (or maybe that should be spelt whine). Lets be honest, the majority of us do like… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Presence Is for Eternity Not Just For Christmas

I also, shared the myth of Japanese Sun Goddess Amaterasu and performed… Continue reading What Do You See?
I've been a little distracted. Kali van has a mystery fault and has been in the garage since Saturday. The silver lining is that she's not in the car park which is now completely submerged with floodwaters. The waters are still rising. The path around the marina is starting to disappear. We are told not… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Whatever’s Happening Is Happening
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
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
