“Sometimes I need only to stand wherever I am to “Sometimes I need only to stand wherever I am to be blessed.” Mary Oliver
⁠Today is World Meditation Day so over on the bl ⁠Today is World Meditation Day so over on the blog, I've collated a list of ten guided meditations for absolute beginners (all available on the free @insighttimer app). . A big thank you to Carmen @sea_and_birds for suggesting I share my meditations on the app all those years ago. . Please feel free to share this post on your own channels and invite your friends to join us in meditation. . Link to the article in my bio. ⁠🙏🏼⠀ ⁠⠀ #worldmeditationday #freeguidedmeditations
“If you go off into a far, far forest and get ve “If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you’ll come to understand that you’re connected with everything.” Alan Watts⁠⠀ ⠀ Far away travels might still be a while away but at least now we can access that deep and healing connection with nature closer to home. 🌿 #gratitude
⁠As much as I'd love to meditate with you here i ⁠As much as I'd love to meditate with you here in the garden this Saturday (especially given the sun will be shining), we're going to have to wait a little longer for that. ⁠⠀ But we can meet online, so I'm hosting a one-hour mindful self-compassion workshop, this Saturday 16 May from 10am to 11am. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Fee is $20 (booking link in profile) or free of charge if you're experiencing financial difficulty (please email hello@totalbalance.com.au and we'll sign you up).⁠ 🙏🏼
"Our present moment is a mystery that we are part "Our present moment is a mystery that we are part of. Here and now is where all the wonder of life lies hidden." Wayne Dyer⁠⠀ ⠀ From the time he was a couple of months old, our grandson has watched the world with wide open eyes. He’s curious about everything and completely in love with the natural world. ⠀ ⠀ A walk with him is a mindfulness practice. He is full of wonder at the smallest things. Every flower, every leaf, every stone, every stick and every puddle of water is something to be explored. ⠀ ⠀ He reminds me to slow down and discover the beauty in this very moment. 🙏🏼⠀ ⠀ Thank you to @saxonkent for kindly sharing this stunning pic. #byronbay
"One kind word can warm three winter months." Japa "One kind word can warm three winter months." Japanese proverb⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ A few years ago, my 92 year old mother-in-law, who lives alone, told me the most difficult thing about ageing is becoming invisible.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Over the past six weeks, she's been seen again. And she’s become the recipient of so much kindness that has truly warmed my heart.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In the supermarket (she insists on doing her own shopping still), people carry her basket. A neighbour she barely knows dropped a parcel of groceries on her doorstep. People stop to chat when she's in the front garden. And the strangers who've lived next door for more than twenty years, recently introduced themselves.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ She's in isolation but feels less alone than she's felt in a decade. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The smallest acts of kindness. And yet the most incredible gift. 🤍⠀
“The mystery of life is not a problem to be solv “The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced.” Jacobus Johannes Leeuw When we’re busy looking for how we can fix things, we miss so much of what’s here. And we miss the opportunity to cultivate the beautiful art of equanimity. . Here’s something to try this week. As soon as you find yourself thinking about how you need to fix something or make it better, take a moment to pause and allow it be, just as it is. . It might be your career, your home, a relationship, your body or even the whole of your life. Stop and pay attention to the reality of this moment - including the parts that feel difficult. . Then see if you can open up to a sense of spacious awareness, allowing and accepting everything that’s here. Imagine you can feel at peace letting things unfold in their own time. . Without effort or energy. Without struggle or resistance. Without needing to control the outcome or resolve anything for now. For a day or two, see what it’s like to let everything be, just as it is, just for now. 🙌🏼
A beautiful expansive thought to get you through y A beautiful expansive thought to get you through your days. 🙏🏼
