I’ve been here .. I’m sure you have too .. only semi-present to a moment (or many moments).⁣
⁣
Being Un-Mindful.⁣
⁣
Often it’s not until later when you reflect back, or search for a memory, that you realize that you weren’t truly there.⁣
⁣
It’s not a nice feeling. Especially if it was a special occasion or a special memory .. now lost forever.⁣
⁣
This is why Mindfulness is such a beautiful practice .. because you sharpen your mastery of being fully present and realize that your awareness and attention is in fact a gift of love. Love given to the moment, to others and to yourself.⁣
⁣
But being a practice .. means that it takes practice. Sure you will forget, get distracted, fall into the habit again of being un-mindful which is why you also get to practice kindness (to yourself and others).⁣
⁣

Ayya Anandbodhi lived and trained as a nun in the Forest Tradition at Amaravati and Chithurst monasteries in England from 1992 until 2009, then moving to the US to help establish Aloka Vihara Forest Monastery, a training monastery for women. In 2011, she took full Bhikkhuni Ordination, joining the growing number of women who are reclaiming this path in the Theravada tradition.⁣

The appearance of a New Moon marks the start of a

The appearance of a New Moon marks the start of a new lunar phase .. the energy is one of starting fresh.⁣
⁣
This is considered fertile ground for planting new seeds .. intentions, wishes and dreams .. which are energized to grow over about 14-days as the moon gathers light from the sun.⁣
⁣
I like to light a candle, meditate and then write down what arises in my heart/mind for the future. And I always finish this ritual with the words ...⁣
⁣
“This or something better for the highest good of all.”⁣
⁣
Will you pause and plant some seeds of intention on the New Moon?⁣

Do you have a word for the year? ⁣ ⁣ Actually,

Do you have a word for the year? ⁣
⁣
Actually, I think the word tends to find you!⁣
⁣
But I now have mine 🦋⁣
⁣
Can you guess from this wonderful quote?⁣
⁣
I had a sense of it .. then a tumble of words that rolled around in my mind for a few days .. then I seemed to see one word everywhere while out in daily life .. and finally it found me:⁣
⁣
Fullness.⁣
⁣
I hope to embrace a sense of fullness in my life .. in my work, my family and relationships, in my learning and growing! To find a fullness of joy, and adventures and laughter and peace.⁣
⁣
I’ve always been a glass-half-full person .. but in 2021 I truly wish to fill my cup .. to find fullness in all of life 🎈⁣
⁣
Do you have your word for 2021? Will you share?⁣
⁣

Took a Mindful Beach Walk earlier to re-energize and refresh .. once the sun came out ☀️⁣
⁣
This practice is one of favorites in Summer .. and I share it with members of ‘the Seasonal Lounge’ this month as our theme is ENERGIZE.⁣
⁣
We are exploring meditation practices, mindfulness exercises and daily rituals that can energize .. so we can then harness and direct that life energy in our meditation but also in our life.⁣
⁣
In this Mindful Beach Walk there is mindful walking .. and mindful pausing .. when we shift our awareness (which is energy) through each of our senses.⁣
⁣
I’m feeling pretty pumped now .. and inspired to continue my days tasks!⁣
⁣
How do you bring fresh life energy into your meditation and day?⁣

Today is the kind of overcast Summer day that I’m likely to do two things .. clean the house or grab something to read.⁣
⁣
Reading sounds so much nicer .. right?⁣
⁣
Have you downloaded my FREE Summer Fire eBook?⁣
⁣
So, here in the Southern Hemisphere it is Summer ☀️ a high yang-energy season that invites us to move outside, get adventurous, make new friends .. to grow and transform under the warming sun 🌞 ⁣
⁣
And, four times a year (four seasons), I share some of my favourite seasonal practices, rituals and tips for enjoying all the gifts of the season in a carefully curated eBook. I share a guided meditation, mindfulness exercises, breathwork and even my family’s favorite recipe (actually there are two!)⁣
⁣
I have also invited some of my favourite teachers (and friends) to share their seasonal wisdom .. in Ayurveda, Yoga and Qigong!⁣
⁣
Meet: Nicole Lee from @nicoleleeqigong who guided us through a Five Element Qigong practice (via video) that is ideal for days just like today (or really, any day or time).⁣
⁣
Sign Up + Download = and your ready for some Qigong and 35-pages of reading in the hammock 🦋⁣

This quote is from Dandipani a Hindu priest, entre

This quote is from Dandipani a Hindu priest, entrepreneur and former monk. This morning I listened to his 2016 talk titled ‘The Energy Alchemist’ as I ponder our theme this January in the Seasonal Lounge – ENERGIZE.
We shall be exploring meditation and mindfulness practices, and daily rituals, to help us connect with and ENERGIZE mind, body and spirit.
Each time that we sit for meditation we are learning to cultivate concentration and our ability to direct our awareness (our energy) and when we notice that our awareness has drifted, we practice directing our energy back to our meditation.
Outside of our meditation, out in the real world, this ability to direct our awareness means that we are better able to choose to direct our finite energy to our deepest intentions and priorities (and not get bogged down in the unimportant or unnecessary energy sucks).
Where awareness goes .. energy flows. If you would like to JOIN US this month - we start MON 4th JAN - find out more with the link in bio. #theSeasonalLounge #energize #JanuaryisEnergize #awareness #intention #balance #meditationpractices #mindfulnesspractices #rituals

I’m keeping my face to the sunlight and my eyes

I’m keeping my face to the sunlight and my eyes on a happy, safe and healthy Summer and year ahead.⁣
⁣
I love the crisp new page feels of a New Year and tonight I am doing my usually big party-ing with my special candle glowing and a sweet playlist in the background .. my journal, diary, and colored pens at hand (and a beautiful glass of Aussie Shiraz) .. calling in the dreams and visions that seek to be birthed in 2021 🎈⁣
⁣
May we all be safe.⁣
May we all be happy.⁣
May we all experience awe and wonder and breathtaking love.⁣
May we all find peace .. together ❤️⁣
⁣
May it be so ....⁣
