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
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. Tara is coming with me as we need some cat van life practice and I really don't want to leave… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Silent Sanctuary
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

If… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Gratitude For The Journey
It's full steam ahead with preparations for the sale of Lily Pearl and I want to share with you a monumental shift I experienced in my mind leading up this point. I observed my mind falling into what I call a "Need to Know" anxiety pattern. "When will she sell? Who will buy her? What… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Be Like Water
I've moved! Lily Pearl is now back at the very first marina I was moored at when she was dropped into the water 4.5 years ago! We have come full circle and it seems the perfect place from which to sell her. I've been taking care of some aesthetic maintenance which I'd intended to do… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Care, Detachment & Disassociation
Sharing this discourse on "What Is Spirituality" by Guru Sri Subramanium, now left his body but still very present it seems! Very beautiful. His way is so Joyful. I feel very much aligned with his way of seeing, just struggle to say his name so happy to be writing it! He created a monastary in… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: What Is Spirituality
I found myself on a workshop again with Dr Robert Holden this weekend, whom was talking about The Golden Thread. Robert appears to be weaved into mine, always popping up at the perfect moments that I need reminding of, or to hear some of his Wisdom. There are other people too in my life, more… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: The Golden Thread
