I just read that David Whyte’s wife, who is a psychiatrist, often asks her clients, “why is it so difficult to claim your own happiness in life?” That’s a great question in itself. She apparently asks it as a rhetorical question because she answers it in the next sentence and she says, “Because if you did claim your happiness, then large parts of you would be immediately unemployed. And they’d have to go off and be retrained to do something else.”

There is no ‘right time’ to learn to meditate.

Do not wait for life to get better, or calmer, or quieter, or for your diary to become clear. (Will it ever?)

Don’t wait until your anxiety disappears or your anxiety appears with vengeance.

You don’t need to think less, or do less, or do yoga. You need to be anything. Don’t wait until you feel more connected, or the coffee habit has been kicked.

Don’t wait until overwhelm kicks in, or that health concern inflames, or your soul starts shouting, ‘something needs to change!’

The right time is now.

What is the quality of your relationship with yourself?

In meditation you become intimate with yourself on every level— with your body, with your mind, emotions and feelings, with the different levels of your own energy, and with the inner presence /awareness / bliss that is the ground of your very being.

Any healthy, enduring and thriving relationship requires time, attention and devotion. And like any intimate relationship, meditation works best when undertaken tenderly, with curiosity and receptivity.

The secret of joyful meditation is to approach it playfully, as an experiment and exploration of your own being.

To take each meditation as it comes and however it comes. And most importantly to keep showing up to yourself however you are, meditation after meditation.

Many types of meditation ask you to rid thoughts, to clear the mind of all clutter and distraction - the style I share is the opposite. It understands that thoughts are a natural and automatic part of the mind and teaches you to follow the internal charm of your mantra, which naturally and spontaneously de-excites the mind. This allows you to drift effortlessly between, mantra, thought and thoughtlessness, this process gently drawing you into your deepest most subtle state of being.

Vedic meditation empowers the meditator as there is no judgment, no controlling, no intense concentration or straining of the mantra, mind or body. Over four sessions you learn how to simply bring the mantra into your awareness and let-it-go. The body and mind naturally settles as the mantra pulls you in like an anchor diving to the depths of the ocean. There is one final opportunity to learn to meditate this year, November 14-17 in Beaconsfield over 4 x 2 hour sessions. Bookings via link-tree.

Do you remember your first experience of transcendence?

That delicious letting-go?
The silence, the stillness.
The coming home.

This coming Thursday marks the beginning of my favourite time of year. 9 magical days to bring one’s loving awareness to the qualities of the Goddess, śakti, or devī. In Vedic and yogi traditions the Goddess is considered the embodiment of power and energy - the energy that enlivens the whole world, and our own bodies and minds.

When we encounter śakti spontaneously or explore her deliberately, in practice, this energy opens us to our own inner empowerment.

For me this time of the year, these 9 days, are one’s that ripple with a beauty, aliveness, and a potency that’s so specific.

It is an invitation to remember the source of our own power and an important reminder to continue opening to this subtle current of divine energy that’s always available within us.

And ofcourse its timing aligns with the play and display of Nature, the full blooming of Spring, a new moon and a very particular planetary alignment which adds furthermore to the magic of this time.

This Thursday (the first day of Navaratri) and I will be inviting you to join us in honouring these supportive energies through a community kirtan, puja and group meditation.

Mmmmm I can’t wait! Everyone is welcome to join us. Booking details can be found in my stories.

Navaratri (literally meaning nine nights) is a celebration of the Goddess over 9 evenings. The celebration occurs seasonally, with the springtime navaratri in particular honouring the Goddess Durga. Durga literally means ‘invincible’. As a cosmic force, Durga represents great nature’s capacity to overcome all struggles. We are given the opportunity during this celebration to honour this strength in ourself and pray for the victory of this loving force in all parts of our life and world.

I am offline here, engaged in life, mostly mothering, teaching, creating, in small pockets of the day reading books, singing, walking, meditating, cooking or sitting in the sunshine. It’s a season of simple and full times.

The next Vedic Meditation course is August 29 - Sept 1.

I look forward to sharing with you if you feel charmed.
