Having explored Hypnosis (realising we are in a trance more than awake), creating my reality, learning of the Sanskrit version of 'Maha Maya' and pondering the present 'living in a simulation' thought experiment - this simple line in a nursery rhyme has always intrigued me.

IF "Life is but a dream"

Then every thought, belief, and story you hold becomes the structure of the world you walk through. Telling yourself “this is just how it is,” reinforces the illusion! Instead, in those moments, pause, wake up and realise nothing is set in stone!

You realize you’re inside the dream, not bound by it—and in that moment, the dream begins to bend. Colors sharpen, possibilities open, and life becomes lucid. You can paint it brighter, softer, more aligned with your heart.

So, what dream are you ready to wake into?

Michael and I have had a wonderful few days in Ubud, enjoying being a yoga student again at Yoga Barn. While some purists my not be impressed 🤷‍♀️ I’ve been marveling at the modern evolution of yoga and the impressive variety to choose from 🥳 I enjoyed Ariel yoga, kundalini, sound healing classes and have fallen more deeply in love with yoga. (Again, after a little break - absence does make the heart grow fonder!)
Now - Day 1 of our Bali Retreat 😎🌴💕

As we take a little break from training yoga teachers, I've been reflecting on the fire that has been lit in so many wonderful teachers, because of us. Not to gloat but rather more like the Buddha's quote - our flame has lit many candles that now spread even more light into the world. The light that ripples out and touches countless hearts, is wonderfully warming, especially as I have taken a little yoga teaching hiatus. Sometimes, I forgot to smell the roses and really take it all in. 🏃‍♀️

Today is a traditional day to honour your teachers (Guru Purnima). Yes, without a doubt, I am incredibly grateful to all my teachers and the gifts they have given me, shaping me into the person I am today. Right now, I am equally grateful and humbled by all of our students by not just doing a teacher training course but have who answered a call. They've faced their fears (public speaking is up there as a number one fear!), been vulnerable, studied hard, stuck at it and most of all had that call to share yoga with the world. I'm in awe of you🤩 THANK YOU for being My teachers! 🙏✨💕

Is this a controversial idea???

Our main source of discontent, anxiety, fear and lack of meaning in life comes from one underlying issue...

We believe we need to add something to the present moment to make it better!

If we could truly grasp the deepest meaning in these words, I believe the world would be a much happier place.

For some reason, most humans don't feel like they are complete. We live with this underlying sense that we need to 'do, think and feel' something different in order to be happy.

This is the very idea that is keeping us all in the mental prisons we find ourselves in today.

Radical Awakening occurs when we learn to see, feel, taste and touch the truth that EVERYTHING is already in perfect balance, perfect harmony, perfect joy.

When we come to know this in our very cells, brain and body then something truly profound happens...

We relax!

We relax that deep, grinding anxiety that lives in the gut of just about everyone alive today.

We relax that endless thirst for MORE.

We relax and can finally open our hearts to breathe and feel the truth that we are already the wholeness we've been chasing. We just need to learn how to open our minds to see what we can't yet see.

Join me for a beautiful, mind expanding and heart opening 12 Months of Insight, Meditation and Connection on this Living Dharma meditation course.

One Sunday morning each month to dive in and awaken something truly spectacular within.

How did the Buddha Meditate? Find Out on this 5 Week online meditation course.

Most people dabble with meditation and never really get anywhere.

Many people just use apps and look for different meditations all the time.

The problem is you do a technique but you don't really get that meditation is about finding a deeper 'path' in life.

A path that is well worn and well tested. A path that gets results. A path that gives life a sacred meaning. A path you can rely on when everything else falls apart.

The Buddha taught meditation through a beautiful set of 16 steps that begins with your breath and ends with deep mental clarity and ultimately enlightenment.

If you've done some meditation before, or are curious to establish yourself on a solid path, then come along for a 5 week deep dive.

No upfront cost...

Collective consciousness is alive and well this week! Just finished sharing a 6 Day Meditation Challenge online and it's weird really to think you can create such a powerful feeling of heartfelt community and transformation with everyone sitting in their own homes. But you can and it's tangible and powerful!

If meditation is not yet a part of your life, I can't recommend it more highly. It's a hand changer and the perfect balance to a world spinning a little sideways at times.

I'm making my 6 day course available online so just DM me and I'll send you the link.

Much love ❤️

And so, nearly 30 years ago I was working in the Criminal Law Department of Legal Aid in Brisbane, representing some of the most hardened criminals across Qld and it occurred to me that I was only a young man but already feeling pretty unhappy and unfulfilled with where I saw my life taking me.

A friend suggested I check out a local meditation class at Relaxation centre of Qld. I did. It was nothing special. Yet, what it did do was to light a spark in me that there's more to life than just the surface. There's more to life that what the world, 'out there' was trying to sell me as happiness.

Fast forward all these years and close to 20 000 hrs on a meditation cushion, endless retreats, years of teaching and training others, I've come to the conclusion that maybe, just maybe, we're here on this planet for something bigger than just work, mortgages and a happy retirement!

Well let's hope so anyway.

I know my brain has changed!

I know my heart has changed!

I know, without doubt that my life has changed!

And the really strange thing to me is that so much of the change that has happened in my life has come about by me choosing to do a little of nothing every day!

What a radical idea that learning to be still can change your life.
What a wild choice it has been to just stop believing in the voice inside my head.

I've also come to know that just because I've devoted much of my adult life to meditation and spirituality, I am far from anyone's Guru!

What I do know for sure though is that I am an eternal beginner, filled with endless awe and curiosity for how this miraculous life unfolds.

I would love to share a little of my meditation practice with you to help start your year with positivity, presence and power.

I am running a free, 6 Day Meditation Challenge from 19 February. Forty minutes each day, starting at 6.30am. Breathwork, meditation, stillness and gratitude to kick start a purposeful and peaceful year.

Would you like to join me online from this Sunday???
Here's the details to register.
