Time For Some – Simply Silence

Ughh .. I just heard the weather report for the ne

Ughh .. I just heard the weather report for the next few days .. cold and wet and dark 🥶
The wisdom of Winter is to call us home, both physically and metaphorically.
Winter blasts us with cold and rain .. to encourage us into the arms of stillness.
So, while our days may still be full and busy, and we keep trying to maintain our pace of 'getting things done’, in essence our body, mind and spirit are yearning for Winters stillness .. because we need this deep stillness in order to rest and repair and refresh (before the demands of Spring).
And when our body slows and finds stillness, our breath will shortly follow .. and eventually we find that even our mind stills.
I have a Winter Guided Meditation in our Winter Retreat eMagazine – a 40+ page FREE eMagazine that holds many different practices and rituals to embrace the wisdom of Winter.
The ‘Finding Stillness Within’ Meditation (16:07min), is an invitation to bring conscious awareness to what stillness and retreat may feel like .. in the moment, in the body and the breath.
*Stillness can be found in our feet.
*Stillness can be found in our hands.
*And, stillness can be found in our breath.

I woke super super early this morning .. maybe it

I woke super super early this morning .. maybe it was the incredible silence calling me? (I thought)
It was so quiet.
No wind. No birds. No traffic. No perceptible sound.
I wondered if my stuffy nose and cold had caused my ears to block up too .. but no, it was just super quiet in the world around me.
So. I sat up to meditate.
Felt like maybe I’d been called, by the silence, to practice early this morning 🙏🏼.
And then, all I could hear was my breath.
A stuffy nose and tight sinuses type of breath .. nothing musical or romantic at all.
But my mantra soon weaved it’s magic and everything became very still and very welcoming .. the rhythmic qualities of my mantra and my breath simply carried me into that quiet, comfortable and restful space within.
And I realized I was truly listening to life .. breathing in and breathing out LIFE
#grateful 🙏🏼
This is your reminder .. don’t forget to meditate!

I feel this ‘transformation’ nearly every time $I feel this ‘transformation’ nearly every time I meditate. Mostly it’s a very subtle and effortless ‘transformation’ .. like, when I wake up and instantly my mind starts racing ahead into some projected scenario that holds worry or doubt. I can feel these emotions in my body .. and hear them in my mind. But when I take my seat for meditation, as I’ve done for many years, I enter an inner space of awareness where it’s almost like sitting in a darkened cinema, and those ‘projections’ are something I am just watching on the screen. I can still see and feel .. but at a distance. With a sense of objectivity and curiosity .. Where does this worry or doubt come from? What stories or patterns of belief are behind these feelings? What might I learn or better understand right now? And so I practice just sitting with these uncomfortable (or comfortable) feelings .. with an awareness for whatever arises .. and, then I let it all go. And so - I am transformed. It may be only a fraction of a moment on this path .. but the insights that arise through this process are indeed transformative. Meditation gives us this safe space to observe and listen, to learn and adapt. Meditate .. and the mind is always transformed.

I’m home! Back from a most wonderful, relaxing

I’m home!
Back from a most wonderful, relaxing and inspiring holiday in Bali with my gorgeous daughter. One of those ‘special’ trips .. as she is now an adult with her own life and journey ❤️
But when I say ‘I’m home’ .. it does always makes me smile at the silliness of that statement, because I know that …
🙏🏼 wherever I am, wherever I travel .. my true home is always with me.
Within me.
And I am always keen to share this favourite quote from @deepakchopra ..
“My body travels. I never leave home.”
BUT .. I am definitely back home to my computer, my spreadsheets and my classes .. and preparing for the next @the.meditationbox

I’m away right now .. taking a short but delicio

I’m away right now .. taking a short but delicious break in Bali with my daughter.
We both love it here .. for so many different reasons.
But this morning, after meditation, the heat surrounds us, like a fog or a blanket.
It’s a slow walk.
It’s humid and the sun is fierce .. you can’t help but slow down, physically and mentally.
Nature insists!
It’s simply not possible to run at the same level of busyness and doing-ness that was the norm at home just a week ago.
So, while I watch the frangipani flowers softly falling into the pool and listen to a bird singing loudly somewhere close, distracted occasionally by the wind rustling through the palms .. I am very aware and present to this sense of ..

It’s all rather wonderful.
If only I could bottle or BOX 📦 @the.meditationbox this stuff .. 🌴🧘❤️

Bali breakfast at our long time favourite 🌴@sea

Bali breakfast at our long time favourite 🌴@seacircus
Always keen to see the quote of the day that comes with our coffee .. I still remember when you couldn’t get a coffee here.
Today’s quote is a great one ..
“to have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don’t grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown, instead you relax , and float” Alan Watts
I smile also because as you walk into our villa there is a painted/mural wall that starts with the word … faith …

Tomorrow in the Southern Hemisphere .. is the Winter Solstice.
An astronomical event that marks the longest night, and the return of the Sun.
Do you have a Winter Solstice ritual?
I share some elements that I like to include on the night of the Winter Solstice in the FREE Winter Retreat eMagazine.
Along with a free guided meditation and a bundle of amazing content from teachers of Yoga, Ayurveda, Reflexology and Traditional Chinese Medicine … reminding us of the importance of finding balance and alignment with the seasons.
