18.01.2022 WILLY WAGTAIL UPDATE: They have flown the nest already! Words from Ric Daniel ... "It happened all on the one day (fleeing the nest!), staring with while we were standing underneath the nest about 11.00am, watching them take their first unsteady flights.... By nightfall, the birds were up in the trees, but still being fed by the parents. This was the last time we saw them." Travel safe little ones Ric Daniel

09.01.2022 An excerpt taken from Chapter 5: The deepening stages of meditation Comparing thoughts and emotions to waves in the sea. "Stage 1 - Seeing the waves and currents ... Usually, we don't take much notice of our thoughts and emotions, so we go wherever they propel us-they form the undercurrent of our lives. This is exactly like floating in the sea, without noticing where the current are going, ignoring the waves-until one big one comes along, throws us around, and eventually breaks taking us with it. Becoming aware of these waves while they are still ordinary, everyday waves is the first deepening stage of meditation. We notice for the first time that they are present most of the time- just coming and going, pushing us around with them. This moment of seeing means we have become calm enough or in other words, the sea has settled enough down enough, for us to notice the waves- the calm provides a clear comparison."

08.01.2022 [LATEST BLOG POST] The Opening to Love‘ advanced retreat was held recently and it got us thinking about love and what it means for us as meditators- which is far more expansive than love for family or romanticised love. Graham puts it beautifully in the forward of ‘In the Flow'.... Being open to everything, being receptive to everything in yourself and the world is the essence of love. You discover that love is actually a decision - not just a feeling. It is something that you can practice, and so you can learn to sustain a state of love in the same way that you can learn anything else. This is a fitting introduction to our latest blog post titled the Luminosity of Love, also written by Graham Williams, it explores two key points: 1. Love is the ability to be open & 2 . Love begins with being kind to yourself. Read the blog here: https://lifeflow.com.au/meditation-/the-luminosity-of-love/ This can be practiced when you open your heart during the loving-kindness meditation try it here: https://soundcloud.com//cultivating-kindness-for-yourself- Still on the subject of love! If you feel like your body and mind could use some TLC (tender loving care) maybe it's time to join a Lifeflow Yoga class and experience what it's like to transform your tension and busy mind through gentle movement and Lifeflow meditation techniques. Classes are held on Wednesdays 5.45 - 7.15 pm. Find out how it can help you here: https://lifeflow.com.au/meditation-courses/yoga/ Finally thank you for being part of our community we just love having you here!

08.01.2022 We wanted to let you know, we are back in the studio today and all classes are back on as per schedule! Talk about a roller coaster. It is at times like these, we count ourselves as lucky, as we can turn to the timeless practice of meditation to calm our minds and reignite our inner joy, anywhere and at any time.... For many of us, working from home, observing COVID restrictions and keeping social contact to a minimum means lots more 'together' time with the extended family - which can bring its own challenges. But what about those who are living alone? In this week's blog, long term meditator and Lifeflow Librarian Robyn Walden shares with us 8 ways to not only survive but to thrive during isolation or times when you may find yourself alone. Read the blog here: https://lifeflow.com.au//finding-an-ocean-of-calm-and-con/ Keep calm and safe, The team at Lifeflow P.S. Don't forget! Bookings for the popular Learn to Meditate Summer School are open. The course is held over 2 nights per week from 4 - 19 January 2021. https://lifeflow.com.au/meditation-c/learn-how-to-meditate/

07.01.2022 As we come out of the Easter long weekend we are deeply appreciating the fact that we had the choice to be able to travel or stay at home as we please. That the Easter retreat at Kurlana was able to take place and enjoyed by so many members of the Lifeflow community. Looking back this time last year, we were all working from home after our lives as we know it had changed forever!... The Easter member's retreat had been brought online and a 'new normal' was the catchphrase of the day and no one could travel to their usual Easter destinations. The only thing we were certain about was uncertainty! As meditators, the practice of acceptance was brought to the fore. We had no control over the global events that transpired and affected us in the most extraordinary ways. We had to accept what was happening at the time and the situation we were all in. From that state of acceptance, we could see clearly what was happening, and then we could understand it. If we didn’t do this, our thoughts would have taken take over (and they did at times) leading to feelings of being overwhelmed and fearful. Having meditation as a tool to call upon and use, we were able to remain relatively calm and accepting about what was going on. Graham Williams explains more in his blog about likening thoughts to waves on the ocean. https://lifeflow.com.au/me/thoughts-the-waves-on-the-ocean/

06.01.2022 We couldn’t resist on the A-frame message board today Wow, what a night that was! The sun is shining, everything is calm this morning - it’s hard to believe how intense the weather was last night! It’s a wonderful reminder that no matter how big a storm the weather outside or a strong emotion that eventually things settle and calm down. Once you find the meditation and mindfulness techniques that suit you, you have the tools to manage emotions and work with them rather... than try to resist, ignore or fight them. With meditation you can catch things before they get too big. It's such an important and useful topic we devote a whole class to working with and managing emotions in our Learn to Meditate course. In the final week of the Learn to Meditate course we then look at how emotions are just like the weather. This gives us an opportunity to approach them in a different way to how we might currently. Different meditation and mindfulness techniques suit different people which is why we teach a whole range in the course. If you would like to find your own 'go to' meditation and start managing those emotional storms that might pop up, the Learn to Meditate Summer School bookings are open online. Cruise into 2021 as cool as a cucumber https://lifeflow.com.au/meditation-c/learn-how-to-meditate/

04.01.2022 Taken for chapter 5: The deepening stages of meditation. "Stage 3 - The thoughts stop ... as you enter an absorbed state of meditation you feel your mind and emotions becoming increasingly still. As the mind becomes calmer and more concentrated it becomes balanced, and it does this by resting on the meditation object instead of rushing from one object to another.... The more focussed our minds are, the more relaxed and calm we become." #lifeflow #meditation #mindfulness #meditationadelaide #adelaide

02.01.2022 Taken for chapter 5: The deepening stages of meditation. "Every time you settle down to meditate, your mind goes through three stages: noting how busy your mind is; seeing the space between thoughts, and finally; the thoughts stopping altogether. As you become increasingly familiar with this, you will notice that it also happens every time you begin to concentrate."...

01.01.2022 5 Stars for the Learn to Meditate Course from Joy! "A friend and I undertook the 6-week course together. I certainly gain a new understanding of meditation and mindfulness and how little I had to do to achieve a sense of calm and relaxation throughout my day. ... Every lesson was followed up with a detailed email recapping the strategies learnt from the class and simple tips to integrate the learning. A very warm and welcoming environment, Great teacher. Highly recommend." Thanks Joy! If you would like some of the calm and relaxation that Joy has found - the final Learn to Meditate for 2020 is being held this Sunday and the following Sunday from 9.30 am - 1 pm.
