When you think about your future hopes and dreams, do you think about what they are or how you would feel of you had them?  It’s very easy to decide what we think we need to make life better. For example, more money, a new job, or a partner to make us happy.  The problem with this is, you are limiting your possibilities. If you think your happiness only lies travelling down one specific path, you are preventing other options.

Deep within is all is a place of peace. At times it is very hard to find that place. Our day to day lives and the distractions within them, prevent us from taking a moment to reach into that quiet place. 

I love this. I think the owner of this van, wants to make the world a better place. The point about worrying is that we do it before something has actually happened. When and if the moment of impact comes, we don’t worry we either fight or fly. 

Unfortunately we cant all sit on a beach and meditate like this every day. But can take ourselves off in our mind to a beach in meditation for a moment or two. 7.5 million U.K. workers suffer from mental health problems in the workplace, and sadly 44% do not tell their employers. 

I have been working in London for last few days. It’s such a beautiful city and so full of vibrancy and culture. 
I also love the anonymity of a large city, living in a small town can feel as if you living in a goldfish bowl. 

When I teach meditation, I’m often discussing with my class how to stop the brain chatter, the thoughts that seem to pop up. Not being able to concentrate or to clear the mind, is often the reason most people feel they can’t meditate.

Today are two “official” days. It’s Blue Monday today and it’s Hugging Day. It’s seems to me that one should cancel out the other actually. Blue Monday was recognised back in 2015 by a travel show. It’s is meant to be the bluest day of the year, in the depths of January and Winter. 

Life can be tough; and sometimes we have to face things we would rather not.  Ancient Hermetic wisdom said that life was like a pendulum, swinging backwards and forwards.
