Mindfulness Man

Life is incredibly mysterious. What are we doing here? Is there meaning? Do we make our own meaning?

We live in a beautiful world but to experience it we first need to know we are not truly seeing it.   This is an increasing problem too due to us living in the Information Age. We are now bombarded with unprecedented levels of data and our brain has not evolved to be able to handle it all. So we’re lost in a digital storm, endless passwords to be reset, endless semi-real engagement through a screen and notification after notification.

We are digging a deep hole on otherwise flat terrain and then we’re falling into that hole, in short, we are causing our own suffering.  How about we stop digging, stop catastrophising, stop making a bigger deal out of things than they are? 

Join us for a group meditation on loving kindness. This is a replay of the live class.

Come and join me in this gratitude meditation. Try practising it daily for a week and see how powerful it can be.

Come and join me for a 15 minute Meditation.

A short seven minute meditation from the park.

This episode is about finding the wisdom of the breath at a much deeper level than just an object to focus on.

Mindfulness sees even the tasks we hate as an opportunity to grow. Take this challenge with me. Every day for a week repeat this affirmation. The more you repeat it the more powerful its impact will be. AFFIRMATION    “I commit to challenging the things I find difficult in life and to perform them with mindfulness, knowing that self knowledge will grow much more from the difficult than the easy.”

There are so many ways in which we can boost the clarity of mind and stillness of body to help support our meditation practice. Here I speak about the habits that I have discovered have worked for me.

In this episode we look at mindfulness and the beauty it can bring into our lives just by being. Come and join me on facebook here  Music By Gotama & Tim "Iron Keys"

The same hand that pats you on the back with praise could beat you in the next instance. Can you see that? Can you see too that the praise you have received may have come by fortunate chance, you made little effort but here is praise. Let's explore that now in a meditation.   Come over to my page facebook page

My first live on here. Please bear with me if the audio isn’t quite right yet. I’d appreciate any feedback, positive or negative. Thank you. Peace

What is real strength? I believe it is the ability to bear with the difficulties of life and to find meaning in them. Through mindfulness we can reframe difficulties as we get closer to them to find out what they really are. In this week's session I teach a two part method for working with difficult feelings, that helps us to become strong and serene. Come over to my facebook page to get to know me better. #mindfulness

Learn breath meditation with me and let your days become filled with wonder. There are going to be up days. There are going to be down days. There are going to be days of numbness, when the day feels completely wasted. Which of those days are the most important in the grand scheme of a life? The days you experience life, the days you were fully alive and feeling whatever you were dealt on that day; these are the days that count. My most tragic days built in me, something of immense value. I am carried by these days. It’s as if my bones were forged in the flames of the foundry of hell. What was brittle is now unbreakable steel. Looking back it all makes sense from here. My inner teacher has built the road before me for my own highest good. Life was my guru all along.   Special thanks to Tim Iron Keys for the intro track & Edoy for the track that accompanies the poem.

With meditation we learn that a happiness higher than sense pleasures exists. Try this quick meditation to start to see the greatest happiness unfold in your life.

There is an enormous weight we carry in trying to control the perceptions others have of us. We want to be seen a certain way and when there is a threat to the image we have built and try to hold on to, we go into struggle mode in order to protect it. The reality though, is that people will see us how they see us. What they’re seeing is a mere fraction of what has actually happened. Our actions are so deeply intertwined with a whole lifetime of their conditioning, that it’s really not up to us how we are perceived. Follow me on Instagram here    

Please excuse the lowfi tech this week. My computer and mic combination seem to have given up working properly so until that’s sorted I hope you still benefit from this podcast I’m its rawest form.
