No one can stop their thoughts. It’s a wasted effort.

It’s important to become aware of your thinking, however meditation is more about a shift of attention from thinking, to recognising yourself as the space in which thinking arises.

You were there before any thought and remain after a thought passes.

Become aware of your beingness in this space, and breathe with this.

We sometimes lose sight of what really matters.

In the end it all comes back to love.

Include yourself in being worthy of kindness and compassion. The way you treat yourself matters.

Whether we realise it or not, all our behaviour has a motivation behind it.

If we have not inquired into ourselves and our ways of doing things, without even knowing it, we are usually if not almost always operating out of unconscious patterns and conditioning.

For example: We learnt as kids what got us a good result and what gave a bad result, and so we designed our dance in relationships around how best to feel good.

There is nothing wrong with that, as it helped us get to where we are, however problems occur when we need to update ourselves to our current reality and we continue operating out of expectations and beliefs formed in the past.

How can we be open to life, love, aliveness to the moment, and new possibilities if we are unconsciously living out of the past?!

When we get help and guidance to look and we do our personal work, we can see a lot more of our learnt patterns and our emotional relationship with ourself and others.

From here we can start to create change, choice, freedom, vitality and joy.

Conscious therapy is a good thing for all people. Not just if there is something seemingly wrong.

Everything you do depends on how well you know yourself.

Practice being in silence often. Even if it is just a glimpse; a moment of noticing.

Deep silence is within. It exists as the base of your being and resonates underneath every external physical sound, no matter how loud.

Real silence is never not there. You just have to learn how to listen.

‘You could sum up meditation as the art of listening’ – Adyashanti.

It is only in the now that there is any fixing of the past. Learn to be open beyond your hurt and fear and you will learn love is always there.

Be here now. Listen to your love. Listen to how life shows you love, even if it is not what you expect.

Life is too short not to love as fully as we can.

It means tending to your body, feelings and mind every single day.

Every single day.
Throughout the day.
Not one day left out.

If you are there to tend to your body, feelings and mind.. it is clear that you are more than your mind, feelings or body.

This more than which you are, is where wellness takes on another dimension. The dimension of inner peace.

Every moment is like a grain of sand. When you put them all together you have a beach.

When you put your intention and attention into filling your moments with what is meaningful and inspiring and what feels to be really you.. that is an amazing life.

This also includes how you embrace and relate to all sides of your experience, happy, sad, angry; adversity and resilience are part of forging incredible fortitude and inspiration.

Not one moment isn’t precious and a doorway to creating your life.

Learn patience and trust with the unfolding of peoples paths (including your own).

We never know what each of us might need to go through to help us come to a point of awakening.

Sometimes suffering and struggling is part of the process needed to forge the inner will and clarity to let go or to make change happen.

Helping means being with in something first before trying to fix anything.

It’s part of being human. Learning to see them, care and take responsibility, that is growing up.

Until we do our inner work, life will not be what we might deeply hope for.

Coming home to yourself is the true path. Until we walk it, we will be wandering, lost, looking for treats that in the end never quite feel like enough.
