These words fill the second line of notes in my conference notebook from this mornings meditation summit. Lorin Roche was the first presenter.⁣
⁣
I had just clicked into zoom and grabbed a pen .. and couldn’t write this down fast enough.⁣
⁣
The first line of my notes was about how many traditional meditation teachings and knowledge come through Sanskrit writings .. and that Sanskrit has multiple layers of meaning and interpretation.⁣
⁣
And much of the ‘playfulness’ and humour has been lost in the translation.⁣
⁣
Loved this ❤️⁣
⁣
And of course, being an Aussie, it was lovely to hear Lorin speak of these ‘sassy, irreverent and fearless characteristics’ (considered by some to be Aussie characteristics) might inspire us to ‘go forward and invent’ our own unique meditation translations and pathways.⁣
⁣
*from today’s Australian Meditation Association Online Summit 2020⁣

I’m online today attending the Meditation Association of Australia Online Conference.⁣
⁣
And so far ... it’s been wonderfully PLAYFUL 🎈⁣
⁣
In the first two presentations - from Lorin Roche and David Michie - the word that kept popping up for me was ‘playfulness’ in our approach and practice of meditation!⁣
⁣
Think: delicious big inhalation, joyfulness and a smile.⁣
⁣
Meditation that embraces our true being .. and if there is ‘sassy-ness’ or irreverence or playfulness in the moment then of course we might bring our full attention into that experience. We can try too hard in our meditation .. which creates unrealistic expectations and additional heavy-ness.⁣
⁣
So the gift this morning has been the insight (and reminder) of the power of PLAYFULNESS in meditation.⁣
⁣
🙏🏼⁣
⁣
⁣*our new puppy has also been a wonderful reminder of this playfulness .. and how we can remove obstacles and resistance (when training puppy or the mind) by keeping things light and fun. ⁣

I am so looking forward to a day of listening and connecting tomorrow with the first (online) Meditation Australia Online Summit.⁣
⁣
There are 14 presentations over a full day, and I get to just listen and learn! ⁣
⁣
* Lorin Roche presenting ‘Spontaneity and Playfulness in Meditation – meditation is part of our survival instincts'⁣
* Jason Siff author of “Unlearning Meditation: What to do when the instructions get in the way” and “Thoughts Are Not the Enemy” (Shambhala Publications 2010 and 2014⁣
* Katie Underwood leading a TUNE IN & CHILL OUT session⁣
* Paul Bedson teacher of Mindfulness-based Stillness Meditation (MBSM), from The Gawler Foundation ⁣
* David Michie author of Buddhism for Busy People and the Dalai Lamas Cat series ⁣
*Maia Bedson - Mindfulness-based Stillness Meditation⁣
⁣
This is my idea of bliss .. a whole day of meditation inquiry and discussion and I'll be well caffeinated and not-dressed-to-impress but cosy in my favorite chair under my fig tree and blue sky!⁣

Morning meditation with my meditation-bud!⁣ ⁣

Morning meditation with my meditation-bud!⁣
⁣
He has always snuggled in when I do my morning practice .. he seems to know what I’m doing and he gets just as chilled as me 🙏🏼⁣
⁣
This morning I was woken in the early morning darkness by a super chirpy bird .. she sang in the sun .. and then left me with utter silence for my meditation.⁣
⁣
Then our new puppy woke up and I got to stand on the cool morning earth with her .. both getting ourselves grounded.⁣
⁣
Feeling an animal connection here today.⁣

Do you know this book?⁣ ⁣ I love this book.⁣

Do you know this book?⁣
⁣
I love this book.⁣
⁣
Inside the cover I see my handwriting .. Christmas 2012.⁣
⁣
I have dipped into and dug into this little book many times over the years because it holds juicy magic and wondrous reminders of living well.⁣
⁣
‘How to Train a Wild Elephant .. and other adventures in Mindfulness’ is by Jan Chozen Bays.⁣
⁣
Today I am relishing the Spring sunshine and quiet household .. I’ve been very productive and still found a few moments to sit in the garden and pick up this book which holds 53 Mindfulness exercises .. one for each week of the year!⁣
⁣
I think this is where I gained an appreciation for committing to a practice each week .. which is the format we follow in ‘the Seasonal Lounge’ online membership.⁣
⁣
~ A weekly meditation practice.⁣
~ A weekly mindfulness exercise.⁣
~ A weekly ritual.⁣
⁣
On Mon. 2nd November we begin our theme of CONNECTION .. cultivating a deeper sense of connection with ourselves and others.⁣
⁣
Our focus will be on Loving Kindness Meditation.⁣
⁣
**Jan Chozen Bays MD is a meditation teacher, and abbess of Great Vow Zen Monastery in Oregon. She is also an author, a pediatrician, a wife, a mother, and a grandmother.⁣

Congratulations Victoria!⁣
⁣
Excellent job Melbournians 🎈⁣
⁣
I always feel incredibly grateful for this life .. but this morning those feelings of joy and happiness and connection were even more overwhelming.⁣
⁣
I am so proud to be a part of this community and of the Aussie spirit .. and the positive outcome achieved in this challenging time.⁣
⁣
We can now clearly see the Universal law of ‘cause and effect’ in action - two days of ZERO in Victoria (the UK reported 19,000+ cases and 151 deaths yesterday).⁣
⁣
We took the tough action - and we got the results. AND we can continue to take personal steps to support this continued outcome (it’s in no way over).⁣
⁣
And then this morning .. walking the cliff tops with a friend, listening to the powerful wind whip up the Bay, taking a moment to pause for a smile, a nod or a short conversation in the sunshine, watching people gather (safely and with masks), dogs playing boisterously in the sand .. there is a palpable shift in energy and a sense of well earned freedom!⁣
⁣
Feeling blessed. 🙏🏼⁣

I have been Spring cleaning and reorganizing the online Quiet Mind Library this morning.⁣
⁣
And letting subscribers know about the two resource sections that are currently listed for viewing and listening pleasure (both hold video content):⁣
⁣
*Meditative Exercises - small investment of time for powerful de-stressing and nervous system calming⁣
⁣
*Guided Meditations - inviting you to sit a little longer and dive a little deeper. Guided practices that allow you to pause, rest and refresh.⁣
⁣
GYM for the mind⁣
⁣
Almost like starting a new fitness program at the gym: you start with the lighter more manageable weights (Meditative Exercises) and build your understanding and ability through repetition and consistency. ⁣
⁣
Gradually you shift onto longer periods of weightier practice (Formal Meditation) and begin to experience significant results both in the gym and out in daily life⁣
⁣
Together, you build cumulative benefits.⁣
⁣
The Quiet Mind Library if FREE.⁣
⁣
Just subscribe via link in bio.⁣
⁣
There are currently four video practices listed .. and loads more to come.⁣
