We participate in a 72 hour ceremony to support our own health and wellbeing, the wellbeing of our families and local communities and the wider community of human beings that inhabit this beautiful Earth that we are… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Wherever You Go There You Are
Tonight it is the Wolf Full Moon in Cancer. If you're feeling emotional, it might just be Mama Luna giving you a bit of squeeze to release old feelings that are getting in the way of you being and experiencing the fullness of who you are. I notice today I'm feeling quite grumpy at tech… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Do You Need To Howl?
If you listen very carefully, there's a voice inside your head that you associate as "you". Once you become aware of this "you" voice, it becomes much easier to witness it and on days when it's not seeing the world through a rose tinted lens, to not let it pull you down an abyss of… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Those Sneaky Thoughts
The Pause Be still...The Solstice pause is here It happens but just once a year Earth Mother completes her long exhale Releasing all that's old and stale If you blink you'll miss the space A magickal and Sacred place Where past and future intertwine Fear and Hope collide in time Creating a cauldron of intention That sets your inner compass direction In this space be… Continue reading Winter Solstice Blessings & An Invitation

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

Are you a living, breathing question, looking to the outside world for validation or are you a statement of Presence, carrying a deep knowing of who you truly are at your core? Are you putting out, by your actions… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Am I Loveable?
