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
It's cosy in the boat. There's an amber glow emanating from the log burner, mesmorising flames are dancing wildly, visible through the glass door. Tara is now thankfully snuggled on her blanket; a moment ago sprawled across my arms, a reticent, living fluffy wrist warmer, determined to thwart my attempts to start typing. She often… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Gratitude For Prayers Not Answered
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 primary relationship is with ourself and determines how we show up in all our other relationships. Meditation can help us strengthen that connection with our own authenticity that cultivates a willingness to meet all parts of ourself with Loving Presence. It helps us create strong boundaries, to not settle for anything less than Love.… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Nurturing Relationships
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
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
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
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
It has been said that change is the only constant in life. Mind is changeable, this we know. Even when it appears stuck in rigid thinking, it is always potentially just one thought away from a new perspective. The energies of creation, maintenance and dis-creation are all occurring at the same time in different aspects of… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Navigating Change
Come, smell these roses Aren’t the hyacinths Divine Like you my Goddess Your petals so soft Birds and bees in Harmony Unfurling from bud Flower blossoming To promising potential Soft scent lingering The sky is so blue As sweet nectar drips from tongue An eagle flies high Painting pink pictures You tie me up in… Continue reading Poem: The Garden – Path To Nowhere
