What an extraordinary place this earth is! A haven in a cold dark galaxy. I’m exploring ways I can reduce the impact of my existence on this planet. So far I’ve given up flying within Europe, and am excited about traveling by train, it’s much more relaxing and I’m seeing more of the landscape. I will also be reducing my longhaul flights significantly and offsett the travel that is not possible by rail. - I buy 95% of my clothing and basic stuff secondhand, for myself and my family (yes you can get fresh designer wears in the circular economy and awesome toys/books). We cut meat and dairy, and are migrating towards low/no waste and buying unpackaged household items and food. - These are small but significant changes that anyone can make to live a more ethical and sustainable life. One thing I am learning is that the ethics of practice including compassion and kindness can extend outward into all areas of our lives. That includes the plants, animals and future generations that are effected by our actions. Together we can bring about positive change! - What are you doing to reduce your footprint or live more ethically? I’d love to hear more ideas! Much Mettā
We all long to see our true nature, to know ourselves authentically. Yet most of us feel disconnected from self and others at times. - From the contemplative perspective, one's nature is already whole, innately beautiful and interconnected with all. So what's the problem? We habitually identify with impermanent phenomena such as thoughts, most of which are self-referential, I, Me, My stuff... a lot of our thinking is also unkind and reinforces the illusion of separateness. - Meditation is a practice of familiarizing ourselves with and resting in our radiant and indestructible awareness. Of opening up to the possibility that we are much more than a thought, much more than a fragile idea, name or job. A practice of perfecting our love for ourselves and therefore for all beings. - You are already whole, there is no better version of you, no path there, no goal, there is only ever this mysterious and miraculous moment, realise it. Much Mettā
Happy solstice. From my current vantage point the sun is still spilling out across the sky at 9.30pm, making a sultry decent before it reverses its direction. ~ Each moment of awareness these days feels so potent and mysterious. Since a child I’ve been driven by wonder at how it could be so that I breath this next breath, on a lush and beautiful planet, revolving around a star, that offers light, transforming into life; that I live in a fragile and symbiotic eco system, drinking up the beauty, the pain and the ambiguity of many moments, one after the other, unfolding, arising, disintegrating. ~ To be awake in this life is to participate in the bringing into being an ever expanding universe, expressing itself through each and everyone of us. It’s rather miraculous, and you my dear are part of that miracle. ~ the world needs you to be, just that. ~
How fortunate I am to be enroute to retreat with non other than Jon Kabat-Zinn. ~ Few people have had such a huge influence on meditation’s integration into secular settings. Because of his ground breaking work at Umass, Mindfulness has become a household word. Countless people who may have never encountered meditation, have been touched by the practice. ~ I am ever so grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow through this practice. I am blessed beyond belief to share these learnings with our community. Much metta
"How are you?” “Busy.” ~ I often wonder when I am in quieter parts of the world, what compels us to live at such a breakneck speed, how have we come to forsake the very essence of life, presence, to live barely touching the ground of the present moment even for a minute? We are so uncomfortable with simply being, we have to be busy. ~ Most people who come to learn mindfulness are in many ways coming to learn how to become soft again. How to let go of the tightness and tension that has accumulated over years of being “busy”. ~ Learning how to melt is the ultimate challenge for most city folk, and it is essential to any sustainable meditation practice. Fundamentally, we are learning how to see our practice as a luxury rather than a chore, to delight in presenting itself and to attend with patience and kindness to ourselves and our experience, whatever it may be. ~ It may not come easily in the beginning, but I assure you that softness can be cultivated and for most of us it is the essential first step toward a long love affair with contemplative practice
Burnout, empathy fatigue and secondary trauma are considerable health risks facing not only the individual but permeating through to an organisational and a societal level. ~ Although the notion of ‘self-care’ has become somewhat superficial these days, we recognise it's importance as a key component of preventing and sustaining wellbeing across all levels of our community. ~ We find that Eastern and secular mindfulness practices can provide useful guidance around taking care of oneself......acknowledging, in particular, the wisdom of mindful self-compassion practices that teach us how we take care of ourselves, directly relates to how we take care of others. ~ Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) developed by Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer, is a mindfulness-based intervention which shows that cultivating self-compassion helps to foster emotional resilience and emotional intelligence and forms a part of the work we explore in our 8-week mindfulness course. ~ If you're interested to know more, follow the link in our bio or feel free to reach out directly.
