Debbie is the owner of… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Silence Speaks From Its Own Intelligence
I was listening to a well known astrologer the other day whom was talking about an asteroid called Chariklo. In mythology Chariklo is Chiron's wife. Chiron is a centaur known as the wounded healer and in astrology, depending on which sign and house he lands in at the time of your birth, relates to the… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Silence Is Underrated
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. It has very high expectations of you and will berate you, judge you and put you down if you haven't reached Zen Master status, ie no awareness of thought, 100% Silent… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Keep It Simple
Last Wednesday my van steering decided to pack up when I was visiting my daughter in Bedford. Power steering fluid dripping all over the place, steaming on the hot engine, and as you can imagine the van is rather heavy and unsafe to steer with no power steering. Not wanting to risk driving back to… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Living With Trauma & SPD

Layer 3 represented what we want (or at least think we want, lol) to bring into existence. It has been a few months since we did layer 3 and the… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: The Art Of Non-Attachment

Do you contend with the Truth or embrace it? It is what it is after all... Can you… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Embracing Truth
June 2024 & Beyond... I've not done one of these readings for a while. I get a lot of Joy and insights from letting these little poems emerge, so I hope you enjoy them too. Oracle Cards are drawn from Kyle Gray's "Angel and Ancestors" Oracle Cards. Artwork by Lily Moses. THEME OF THE MONTH:Do… Continue reading Oracle In Rhyme: A Magickal Attitude Allows Life To Flow
This blog is gonna be short and sweet. Sometimes there's nothing to say. I could sit and "try" to write something inspired but the Truth is I'm too tired. Which takes us back to last weeks blog, "Are You Trying Too Hard". If you you didn't get a chance to read it last week, here's… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Nothing To Say
