Join the Loving AwarenessMeditation Course to reconnect. Living with Loving Awareness means that stop feeling that we are in the forest. We feel that we *are* the forest. We lose our fear of rejection or isolation. We can stop competing and start collaborating. In the modern world, we are disconnected from our essential human sense of connection. The modern world disconnects us from our bodies, from our minds, from other human beings, and from nature. Loving Awareness brings the realisation that we suffer because of our sense of disconnection from the global family of all living beings. The best way to reconnect is through meditation, especially group meditation. We are all born to experience Loving Awareness. It is our heritage, our natural sense of being.

Accelerated Resilience - Breaking the cycle of Worry, Anxiety, and Stress

2/27/2021
This episode is an extract from a free public YouTube taster session that I taught recently. The class was a taster for the Accelerated Resilience Training For Teams training that I do for organisations and which consists of two lunch hour sessions. Pandemic burnout has become part of everyone’s lives. The combination of anxiety and uncertainty is a recipe for chronic stress. To build resilience we need a toolkit of stress management and emotional regulation practices that we can become...

The Body Scan

2/25/2021
Historically, I haven't taught as the body scan very often largely because, very simply, people don't have the time to do it. however, I believe that For a number of us, there will now be more time, temporarily at least. So here is my version of the body scan. The thing that makes it different to how it is normally taught is that it includes relaxation as well as just focusing on the sensations in the body which is the common teaching method. The reason for this, as you will know if you have...

The Inner Eye Meditation

2/21/2021
This is a practice that I stumbled on recently. I have spent more time focusing on meditations that bring our attention to our eyes. The Inner Eye and The Third Eye are ancient concepts that have originated in the ancient Wisdom traditions and that have been, less usefully I feel, incorporated into New Age Spirituality. I think that at some point, the actual value of our awareness of the eyes and the area around the eyes has been lost. This is an interesting aspect of my personal...

An exploration of Presence, The Breath, Change, and Impermanence - meditations (34m)

2/7/2021
This is a class that I taught as a live stream in The Loving Awareness Meditation Course on the evening of Sunday, 7 February 2021. The meditation explores the intersection between Presence (mindfulness) and impermanence by witnessing the present moment lightly as we perceive phenomena arising and subsiding within our awareness. By noticing this change through the flow of time of the present moment, we find ourselves connected to the present moment and hence to all things. This...

Biohacking for autonomic regulation (pranayama)-talk and meditation (43m)

12/5/2020
Autonomic regulation Is the skill of using stress-management and emotional regulation techniques to regulate our stress response and keep it in line with whatever demands we have to deal with. The ancient yogic system of pranayama is a source of many practices that enable us to intervene in our stress and emotional overwhelm. Courtesy of some in-depth studies into stress management using the breath and other meditation techniques, we can build up a toolkit of practices to use to regulate...

Posture - how to sit when meditating.

12/4/2020
Much has been said and written about this seemingly simple element of meditation. The practice of Yoga originated nearly three thousand years ago as a set of seated postures designed to assist meditators. (See 'The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali'). Throughout all of the multitude of information about how to sit when meditating runs a thread of common advice about keeping one's back straight. This raises the question of, among other unanswerable questions, "How do I actually know when my back is...

Demystifying the Mind 1. (talk and meditations - 42 minutes)

Demystifying the Mind Most of the influences that operate in the mind are actually quite simple and obvious. They can mainly be explained simply and without recourse to constructing new beliefs. These influences are self-evident to anyone that spends the time, through meditation, to become familiar and comfortable with the mind.

The Chakra Connection Meditation

10/25/2020
I taught this Meditation as part Chakra Meditation and part Connection Meditation. Chakras are locations in the body which traditional Indian and Chinese medicine view as energy centres. Each chakra has a location, and is identified with a colour and a human characteristic. There are many locations for these but the ones that I prefer are the following: Chakra meditation, like relaxation practice, is a good way to reconnect with your physiology and emotions.

"Beauty is the purgation of superfluities." - Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (1475 - 1564). An Italian sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer of the High Renaissance. He exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art. From a letter to Rene Lui Descartes XIV (6 March 1540) Michelangelo clarifies here how he believes that art, rather than adding beauty, removes that which is not beautiful. A sculptor chisels away the waste to reveal the form that...

The Bhagavad Gita - A Summary (13 minutes talk and 30 mins meditation)

9/23/2020
Of all the ancient texts that I have read, the setting of the Bhagavad-Gita is the most magical. Chariots and Battle Elephants stand face to face, a few hundred yards from each other like two walls stretching in both directions, as far as the eye can see. The elephants and chariots carry warriors bristling with weapons, spears, swords, knives and bows. Their shields glisten in the sun as they await the orders to engage. This is the great decisive battle of the ancient Indian war to end all...
