The phrase "standing on the shoulders of giants" comes to mind when I think about delivering any mindfulness programmes way out on the Beara peninsula. I'm looking forward to this and feeling so very grateful.

Such beautiful, intricate designs made by ice on my windscreen in Leap this morning. I will be guiding drop-in mindfulness tomorrow morning as usual, but please don't travel if the roads are icy and it is unsafe to do so. Stay warm and cosy 💕

Impermanence is one of those misunderstood aspects of mindfulness. It is a very simple teaching – essentially everything is finite and has its time – but it has profound implications on our practice, how we view others and for cultivating kindness.

Impermanence can easily be misunderstood as a little off putting, even depressing as at its heart is our own impermanence. But this is to miss the depth and beauty of the idea.

When we realise that everything is finite, we know that suffering is finite, it too will pass. It helps us work compassionately with suffering until it passes. It also helps us realise that we don’t have to cling to good experiences, but rather to enjoy them fully when they are here.

Impermanence also helps create that shared humanity with others, the understanding that we all want to be happy, healthy and safe and that we all suffer. Impermanence leads to greater care and kindness for others as we traverse this life.

Impermanence is bitter-sweet but beautiful and learning to accept impermanence will enrich our lives.

If you would like to join our mindfulness community for some shared experience, we offer Free Online Daily Meditations Monday – Friday 10:30 and 19:00

For all of us, the starting place of healing is reconciliation with our own heart. Whether we are unable to forgive ourselves for what seems a major wrongdoing, or we have locked into chronic self-judgment, we are at war, cut off from our own tenderness, our own spirit. If we can see past our faults to our human vulnerability, we are on the path of reconciliation. Our self-compassion will naturally lead to caring about others or to an experience of love and connectedness we never imagined possible.
