Meditation Cafe: Presence Is for Eternity Not Just For Christmas

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).

Meditation Cafe: Keep It Simple

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.

Meditation Cafe: Learning To Be Receptive

Meditation, entering through the Heart, is less about doing and more about Being. It takes you into a receptive state, not to receive more data, more information, more ideas, more judgements, more ideals, but to a place where you can see beyond the spaghetti junction of the constant bombardment of external stimulus, to a place… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Learning To Be Receptive

Meditation Cafe: Exploring Expectation, Attachment & Potential

Expectation can veil our Presence if we are not aware of its function. In the not Self mode of experiencing we can, often unconsciously, expect that the future will be the same as the past, for better or for worse.
