Meditation

It’s National Bird Week… which for me means taking part in Birdlife Australia’s annual Aussie Bird Count. You spend a few minutes each day in a location of your choice (your garden, local park, forest etc) and simply note down all the birds you can identify in that time. It helps BirdLife Australia find out […]

A fellow meditatation teacher shared a post this week about a ‘new’ trend that people are talking about on Tik Tok. It’s called ‘silent walking’. Another colleague then shared an article about the same thing on the ABC’s website. My immediate reaction was two-fold. Firstly, a wry smile… hang on a minute aren’t they just

Don’t ask me… I don’t know… or… I don’t mind… are probably my most common answers to most questions. I’ve always been a bit indecisive. I can hear my husband now: “A bit….?”! Okay, so I’m indecisive. I think😉 I’ve always blamed it on being a Libran. Although the star-sign is all about balance and

I was reading an interesting article this week about how workplaces have changed since 2020 and the outbreak of the pandemic. Employers have had to accept more flexible ways of working for staff, and the realisation in some cases, that filling an inner city office space isn’t necessarily the way forward. There’s been a push

You often hear the phrase ‘you have a universe inside you’ and it’s always intrigued me. Do a simple internet search on what this means and you will come up with millions of results.

Hi I’m delighted to announce I will be guiding more community meditations starting on Wednesday October 4, 2023. These will be held in Albany Creek at 10.30am. They are just $4 per session – subsidised by the Moreton Bay Healthy and Active program. The sessions are all seated (in chairs) and are aimed at beginners,

You come across some daft things from time to time! A friend recently noticed a bizarre question being posed by a UK lunchtime TV show called Loose Women. As my friend shared it on social media he quipped: “I‘m occasionally asked if I miss working in the media. Here’s the answer…” In journalism you’re told

I’m not actually a fan of soccer – but I challenge anyone not to have been caught up, at least a little, by the Matildas campaign in the Women’s World Cup. They may not have won. They may not have even come third. But in the eyes of so many people they are absolute winners.

In theory, yes of course you can meditate anywhere. Afterall, all you need to meditate is yourself. But realistically, for most of us, it takes a bit more than that. A while ago, I encouraged my husband to do a basic grounding practice whenever he was feeling a bit stressed. It seemed to work when
