Life appears to move so quickly these days it's easy to miss where we have been and what growth has occurred. I found myself updating my "Welcome" page today so I'm going to invite you to have a read of that, so you can see where I'm at and where my focus is currently. July… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Life Is Always Updating

Meditation Cafe: The Balance of Giving & Receiving
First blog for while and still keeping it short. Since my last blog a few weeks ago I've moved onto a narrowboat. I'm still unpacking and sorting what's necessary and what's not. There's no room for the superfluous in a narrow boat! On Mondays in our Telegram group, there's always a invitation to create a… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: The Balance of Giving & Receiving
Meditation Cafe: Speaking Up
What has The Silent Revolution got to do with speaking up? One might think at first glance that the two are opposites. When we Meditate, yes we are silent in the sense that we are not talking externally, but anyone that Meditates knows that often, when we first close our eyes, it is not actually… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Speaking Up
Meditation Cafe: Healthy Boundaries
Let's be honest about healthy boundaries... We all need them and most of us are absolutely shit at applying them, hence the need for self enquiry! And no, ghosting someone is not a healthy boundary, nor is building a Fort Knox either. Both are as equally unhealthy as not having any at all. Healthy boundaries… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Healthy Boundaries
Meditation Cafe: Denial Creates Suffering
I had the opportunity to listen to one of my Meditation teachers, Narain, share his Wisdom at the weekend. He said that over all his years of teaching Meditation, he observed in himself and others, the thing that caused the most suffering was us not accepting reality as it is. I concur. Whether it be… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Denial Creates Suffering
Meditation Cafe: Trust That Energy Is Moving
On Saturday I felt floored. I'd wanted to get some physical work done on the boat and my body was like, "NOPE". There's always a fine line (for me anyways) between knowing whether you need to take a deep breath and push through or lie down and rest. Engaging in the latter has generally been… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Trust That Energy Is Moving
Meditation Cafe: Trust In The Process
You may or may not have noticed that there wasn't a blog post last Monday. There was however, a Meditation Cafe, albeit we kept dropping out and connecting back in again on the marina wifi. I made the executive decision to rest my body and brain, not write after a series of challenges that started… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Trust In The Process
Meditation Cafe: Responding To Triggers
It's tempting when we are triggered to avoid, distract or rant our way through it. I've noticed a pattern of being triggered myself quite a lot in this last week and I've had many opportunities to see underlying patterns and to rewrite the ending. Anyone else? From https://www.betterup.com/blog/triggers (worth a read if you are new… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Responding To Triggers
Meditation Cafe: The Spirit Of Play
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
Meditation Cafe: Blessings As A Practice
Today, I'm pressed for time but want to share the significance of blessings as a daily practice. Join me for Meditation Cafe at 7.30pm, where we’ll explore gratitude and blessings practices. No previous experience needed; just an open Heart and mind. Donations are appreciated, but not required.
