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
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

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

I find myself in a position where I have made a (big) decision and yet in order to get the wheels of change in motion I am waiting for the forces of Nature to align with my vision. Literally I am waiting for the river levels to go down so that I can move Lily… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Acceptance Is A Portal To Peace
Mindfulness, Contemplation, Self Enquiry, Visualisation (including guided), Mantra repetition, have all become synonymous with the word Meditation. I personally use all of these techniques at different times for different purposes. I'm not knocking them. They help you to focus inwardly, they can have many healing benefits to the mental, emotional and physical bodies. They can… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: What Meditation Is Not
