Why is Meditation recommended so highly in conjunction with abundance and creating what we want in life? Because when we meditate, we still the Warrior and the Magician and we naturally attune directly and with ease to the King/Queen and the Lover. When we meditate, we still our body to the point that our physiological processes quieten, as if we are moving towards sleep. And yet we are more keenly, Continue Reading
‘What Tension Am I Holding That I Don’t Need?’ – Part 2
I’ve been asked numerous times over the thirty-five years I’ve been practicing daily Yoga if I would ‘teach’. (It’s a ‘cosmic joke’ that I’m apparently chronologically forty-nine. I feel perpetually like I’m twenty-eight, and sometimes like I’m fourteen!) For years I adamantly, though graciously, replied ‘No’. Yoga was my private, cherished companion. As a performing artist who was transparently visible onstage, it was my Continue Reading
‘What Tension Am I Holding That I Don’t Need?’ – Part 1
Here is another response to the request I’ve received from so many people to write a sequel to “Savasana – The Deepest Rest Around”. See also the recent post “Wander Time, Empty Time”. Enjoy! I began practicing Yoga daily when I was fourteen. I was introduced to it by an aunt who, at that time, would visit us a couple of times a year.

Wander Time, Empty Time

Caught in an ego warp of ‘the busier you are, the more valuable you Continue Reading

Relax in stillness. Allow your body to become heavy – in its seat if you are sitting, or on the ground if you are lying down. Allow your body to become heavy, its weight sinking into the surface beneath you. Your physiological processes will begin to slow. The electrical currents in your body will begin to quieten. Allow your breath to slow down. You may find yourself drawn to take a few deep breaths. Or just allow your breath Continue Reading

For example, explore significantly reducing - or abstaining from - your exposure to: * Television * Constant audio stimulation (radio, iPod, etcetera) * News * Tabloid Continue Reading
Exhaustion – or Relaxation?
Recently a Client described herself as ‘exhausted’. To assist her to shift into a more desirable state of experience, I asked her to attune inwardly and identify if this exhaustion was a). physical b). emotional c). mental d). spiritual or e). a combination of these. She reflected for a moment, noticing the subtleties of her experience. Then she proclaimed, “I feel exhausted on all levels!" If she had Continue Reading
