Mountain Mindfulness

🌿 Returning to The Inner Home: Throughout the day, if we ever find ourselves feeling anxious, restless, or unsettled, it is a gentle signal from our hearts that we have drifted away from our center. In those moments when peace feels far away, we can kindly stop and ask ourselves:

"Am I breathing with awareness right now? Am I mindful of my steps and my actions?"

Often, we discover that our minds have been swept away by a current of negative thoughts or worries about things we cannot control. When we lose our connection to the present moment, we lose our connection to peace.

By simply returning to our breath, we bring the light of mindfulness back to our hearts. This inner light—the awareness that is always within us—has the power to dissolve the shadows of negativity. As we practice returning to this light again and again, we slowly but surely cultivate a deep, lasting joy and a peace that remains steady, no matter what happens around us.

Let us be gentle with our minds today. Let us choose to return to the breath, return to the light, and return to the peace that is already waiting within.

May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. 🙏✨

If you find yourself in the St Helen's area this weekend, join us for a beautiful kirtan (and more) celebrating Shivaratri - the night of Shiva. All welcome!
It is traditional to wear white, green, or red to represent purity, nature, and devotion, respectively. These colours help connect with the spiritual energy of Lord Shiva, with white symbolizing peace, green representing renewal, and red signifying strength. See you there! ❤🙏

The Om Choir has a new home this year and a new time. CHANGE - it's always challenging whether we choose it, or it chooses us. And now it is here, I'm thinking of it as being an adjustment period as we get used to a new rhythm.

Our first session last week was very good! Colourful, tuneful, soulful 😀

And I'm looking forward to seeing how it feels again this afternoon at this new time of Wednesdays 4.30 - 5.45 pm in the Golden Room, the room where all the best things happen!

All voices welcome. Casual attendance $15 🙏💙

Silent Meditation Week Meander Valley Yoga

What a wonderful opportunity to deepen practice and connection with this longer period of silence and expert teaching from Swami Anandakumar. It's hard to put into words the experience, but deep gratitude to our cook, Waka, for feeding us the most nourishing food, and to Karunamitra and Mahadev for their sincere dedication to the yogic lifestyle and welcoming us so generously.

More thoughts about the retreat to come...
