Grace & Joy!

An episode of 8 mins 03 secs and a morning poem that  wrote itself on a scrap of paper, inspired by me trying to remember what had made a certain sound, years ago, a sound that I felt viscerally and over the years have often tried to remember what it was...

I wanted to remember as it was the only sound that summed up, so truly, a feeling I had about something...

The sound had a deadened resonance, was it a heavy metal dropping on another metal?
I know it was something quite specific but just cannot grasp it...it remains and merges in mysterious grey echoes and past chambers.

An episode of 7 mins 39 secs and a mid-morning poem that almost wrote itself on a Saturday (6th March 2021), after watching a fly cleaning its legs & bathing in the sunshine and then stopping as my shadow passed over it...

This led to ponderings around energies  and blossoming, responses, ease and awkwardnesses... and how we shine with some and not with others...

An episode of 6 mins 41 secs and a morning poem that wrote itself quite early on a Saturday, after an image arising, whilst waking up, of a theatre audience being observed whilst watching a play.

A poem then unfolded around the non-dual pointings of Advaita Vedanta, 'Can the perceiver be perceived?' ... & how the play plays out...

Beginning with thoughts on the critical/negative voice, moving into Woody Allen's Zelig, identity and masks and onwards into the fullness of nothingness, Advaita Vedanta, the dance of our lives …and joy :) xx

An episode of almost 18 mins introducing an approach to EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) or 'Tapping' that is wonderful for HSPs.

I've been tapping for a few years and am now training in EFT as would love to share this gentle procedure for emotional and physical pain relief with others.

My approach incorporates other spiritual approaches I love, in order to return us to our natural state, which is one of health, clarity, happiness and peace.

A 16 minute guided meditation for peace, calming and centring in the body and looking within for guidance, from our truest and most authentic space, rather than, perhaps automatically, looking outside for answers.

On asking to be shown and being willing and open to receive. This may be around general questions or specific circumstances -  we can start to trust what emerges and live from this wise heart-centred space.

• There is a little commentary too before the meditation begins, including the reference to Mr Duffy in the story 'A Painful Case',  in James Joyce's 'Dubliners' - 'Mr Duffy lived a short distance from his body'.

 This is another of my own meditations, inspired by my own practice and elements of others I've loved over the years.
