Meditation Cafe: Speaking Up

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

Meditation Cafe: Healthy Boundaries

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

Meditation Cafe: Patience Is A Practice

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

Meditation Cafe: Trust That Energy Is Moving

On Saturday I felt floored. I'd wanted to get some physical work done on the boat and my body was like, "NOPE". There's always a fine line (for me anyways) between knowing whether you need to take a deep breath and push through or lie down and rest. Engaging in the latter has generally been… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Trust That Energy Is Moving

Meditation Cafe: Trust In The Process

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

Meditation Cafe: When The Pendulum Swings

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

Meditation Cafe: What Lights You Up?

Sometimes life gets a bit serious. Worries plague our mind and we can't see beyond them. In prolonged states of stress it's easy to forget what lights us up, what brings us Joy and to prioritise what gives us the inner fuel to carry on. For me that's my Meditation practice, music and dance, of… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: What Lights You Up?

Meditation Cafe: Presence Is for Eternity Not Just For Christmas

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

Meditation Cafe: The Only Time To Begin Again Is Now

A friendly reminder: The only time to begin again is Now Whether it's your Meditation practice, Yoga practice, going to the gym regularly, walking daily, eating healthily, abstaining from alcohol, remembering to tell your family you love them, setting boundaries, journaling, painting, jogging, dancing, reducing your time doom scrolling on social media, baking, or all… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: The Only Time To Begin Again Is Now

Meditation Cafe: Silence Is Here

Silence is here. What does this even mean? The answer cannot be found in the minds questioning, in fact the more we try to think about the Silence, the further away the Silence appears.. And yet, beyond all our thinking, philosophising and analysing, the Silence is still here. The only way to understand this statement… Continue reading Meditation Cafe: Silence Is Here
