I’m not sure I’d use the word ‘best’ .. but after years of meditation and teaching meditation, these three words resonate most clearly and truly:⁣
⁣
☀️ Effortlessness⁣
🌙 Gentleness/Kindness ⁣
💫 Awareness ⁣

Bliss Bomb Retreats was the name my friend Jennife

Bliss Bomb Retreats was the name my friend Jennifer came up with .. and it served us so well!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jennifer Ellinghaus is an amazing yoga teacher, life long traveller and author of 'Yoga for Travellers'.. we met at an online marketing class (over the coffee machine) and shortly after decided to collaborate on a series of seasonal urban retreats.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We launched our first Winter retreat at a delightful inner city yoga studio and were both shocked and grateful for the huge positive response we received. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fully booked we filled the special day with our loves: yoga, qigong, yoga philosophy, meditation, mindfulness, meditation philosophy, yoga nidra, shared tea and treats. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was BLISS!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our last Winter retreat was called the ‘Ashram Experience’ as we guided our group through a weekend immersive into ashram life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We explored all the traditional practices, sharing in the karma yoga lifestyle activities (yoga of focused attention), vedic chanting, havan (fire ceremony with chanting) and satsang with senior teachers. A wonderful finale as we waved Jennifer off on her continuing worldwide adventures.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Running a retreat is a joyful and exceptionally tiring experience - as a retreat leader you are constantly ‘on’ and scanning for where your attention might be needed. Offering what you can, doing what you can.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I would love to offer some form of retreat experience in the future .. if I find that magical co-creator and after we have passed this pandemic experience and can travel again.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where would your dream retreat location be?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“Emptiness is the ‘possibility yet to be filled’”.⁣
Kenya Hara⁣
⁣
Ancient wisdom reflected in daily life .. that emptiness can be the sacred holder within which possibilities can shine out, have meaning, and be fulfilled.⁣

This morning in the LIVE! Mid-Week Meditation .. I

This morning in the LIVE! Mid-Week Meditation .. I shared the ‘breath song’ mantra.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So beautiful. Did you join us?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mantra meditation is one of the oldest forms of meditation that we have available to us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mantra (‘something to lean the mind upon’) is often a short word, phrase or sound that is repeated, again and again, silently in the mind or out loud (chanting or whispering).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mantra is like a seductive lullaby that once invited into our practice, flows effortlessly with the breath.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This mantra can subtly modify our breathing pattern into a more balanced, slower and deeper state, calming the nervous system and quietening the mind from random chatter.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Called the ‘breath song’ because it naturally resonates with the flow of our breath as it enters and leaves the body. *also known as So Hum mantra from the yogic school of Hindu philosophy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The 30-min recording is now stored and available on the private Facebook group : www.facebook.com/groups/QuietMindMidWeek - come over and join in!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I share a fresh meditation every Wednesday 9am (aest).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stay safe. Stay calm. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Over the 10+ years since starting Quiet Mind Medit

Over the 10+ years since starting Quiet Mind Meditation .. I’ve offered all manner of meditation classes, courses, venues, collaborations, and private coaching options.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve made new friends, explored new paths and had an amazing time learning and sharing!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I started I wasn’t sure where I would ‘fit’ so I said YES to almost any opportunity!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But now I can see three loves strengthening:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
#1 Meditation Teacher Training: as a Course Advisor for the McLean Meditation Institute, I have the honour of supporting new meditation teachers as they journey through this 200-hr certification (since 2016). I’m also part of the Ihana Yoga faculty sharing meditation instruction with yoga teachers completing teacher training or Post Graduate studies (since 2014).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
#2 Corporate Programs: After a long corporate career I didn’t see myself sharing meditation in the boardroom, but almost immediately was invited into an international legal firm .. and I love it! Research continues to support the benefits of bringing meditation and mindfulness ‘in-house’ from reducing employee stress to enhancing creative thought and leadership skills. I’ve worked with some amazing organizations.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
#3 Online offerings: being online was never a big goal but international inquiries had me launch my first online program back in 2014. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Right now I’m shifting all my classes and offerings online. Stay tuned.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I believe meditation is a ‘life skill’ that everyone can learn.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you for your ongoing support during this time of transition.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Continuing with my own meditation journey ..⁣
⁣
- I first learned to meditate .. with a psychologist with a personal Buddhist practice.⁣
⁣
- What sustained my growing interest in meditation was the glorious and colourful Tibetan Buddhist community I found in my teens.⁣
⁣
- As I travelled for career and family, I sought out and ‘sat’ with various teachers and schools of learning .. Zen, Vipassana, Theravada, Insight, and contemporary. I welcomed them all.⁣
⁣
- Over the years I found a contemporary framework and language that resonated .. at a time when science began to take meditation seriously.⁣
⁣
- Navigating my own life in turmoil .. I naturally found myself sharing meditation as a ‘life tool’. A tool for inner peace, a path for finding ‘home’ - and an opportunity to develop self-awareness and insight .. to become the best possible version of ourselves. ⁣
⁣
My approach embraces:⁣
⁣
*both the art and science of meditation⁣
*an awareness of our own magic and wisdom⁣
*greater appreciation for the natural world around us and it’s influence on our inner world⁣
*an effortless and playful approach which invites curiosity and mindfulness, so we can live meditation⁣
*a greater sense of being part a grand plan that is best fuelled by peace, love and kindness⁣
⁣
And YES sometimes I bring my mala, singing bowl and little Buddha to class .. because they bring me such joy!⁣
