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
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
You may or may not have noticed that there wasn't a blog post last Monday. There was however, a Meditation Cafe, albeit we kept dropping out and connecting back in again on the marina wifi. I made the executive decision to rest my body and brain, not write after a series of challenges that started… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Trust In The Process
I'm writing a book. I have a deadline for the proposal. True to ADHD predictability, it's been a ADHD paralysis time warp city, "f*ck where did the last three months go", last minute dot com, deadline approaching faster than a bullet train kind of week. Pressure has significantly built now, enough to create a burst… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Overcoming Fear
The message emphasises the importance of "keep on loving", learning to love oneself amid struggles and setbacks. It challenges the notion of unconditional love, promoting self-acceptance and compassion instead. True love requires first recognising the internal wellspring of love inside ones own Heart. The author encourages continuous self-love and connection with others through this understanding.
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
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). Lets be honest, the majority of us do like… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Presence Is for Eternity Not Just For Christmas
At the weekend I performed my first joke on stage for Saturday Night @ The OM. Our theme was "Return Of The Light", in anticipation for the coming Winter Solstice that occurs on 21st December each year. Thankfully everybody laughed at my joke! I also, shared the myth of Japanese Sun Goddess Amaterasu and performed… Continue reading What Do You See?
I've been a little distracted. Kali van has a mystery fault and has been in the garage since Saturday. The silver lining is that she's not in the car park which is now completely submerged with floodwaters. The waters are still rising. The path around the marina is starting to disappear. We are told not… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Whatever’s Happening Is Happening
Emotions are an intrinsic part of being Human and as we hit the darker Winter months SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) can affect many. I am currently with sadness, yet I AM not sadness. I most certainly don't see this sadness as a "disorder". It's not induced by season for me, as I love the Winter… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: When Sadness Is Present
