It's the 1st of the month. Usually, as part of my Heart Words Meditation practice, on the 1st or as near as, I do a self enquiry to create a Heart Word Mantra for the coming month. My Heart Word for this month is Discipline. However, that word initially did not create an upward spiralling… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Rewriting Our Internal Contracts
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
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
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
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
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
I've spent most of the day staring at the screen. Either laptop or my phone. I'm very excited to be returning to Whitespace Yoga Studio tomorrow to pick up my Yoga and Yoga Nidra/Meditation classes after having a break. I realised that my insurance needed renewing and I wanted to change provider to cover both… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Patience Is A Practice
Initially, when we first become aware of the Silence within, we may experience it as an either/or experience. We think when we are not aware of the Silence that it isn't there, that we are either in it or not in it, yet we are always in it because it is the nature of our… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: When The Pendulum Swings
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
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
