25.01.2022 A Goddess emerged out of this background. Her message for everyone is: I am the keeper of your soul. I am the guardian at the entrance to your being. I wait paitently for you to be with me. Waiting for you to recognise your Divinity. The greatness of your soul. The bright shing being you are. Come home to me, the keeper of your soul.
24.01.2022 Feeling weary? Need more energy? It seems that the thing I hear the most at the moment is that everyone is tired, feeling weary, and sluggish. How can you pick up your energy quickly without spending hours doing yoga or some other form of exercise. I love to go outside on the grass just after getting out of bed, stand barefoot on the grass facing East, or the sun. The sun is our life force, the giver of energy. It is called Surya and the chant used is Om Suryaya Namaha. This ...is literally translated as I bow down to or bring into my being Surya, the Sun. Stand facing Surya, the Sun, and slowly raise your arms from your sides up above your head as you breath in. Similar to extended Mountain Pose. Place the hands gently into Pranam gesture, or prayer position, above your head as high as you can reach, stay there for a few gentle breaths. Ask Surya, the Sun, to fill your body with light, energy and vibrancy. Imagine or visualise this happening. When you are ready slowly lower your hands, still in prayer position, onto the top of your head at the crown chakra, breath gently and when you are ready slowly lower your hands to the third eye chakra, centre of the forehead. Breath gently and then slowly lower your hands when you are ready, into prayer position at the throat chakra. Finally when you feel ready lower your hands in prayer position to the centre of your chest. Stay here as long as you feel inspired and thank Surya for the energy you have received, the Earth for the grounding, and thank the Universe, God, whoever it is for you, for all the blessings and love in your life. The more we are grateful, the more flows to us. When you completed this slowly lower your arms, walk on the damp grass for a few minutes to dispel any negative energy left in your body and know that your energy has been enhanced. Then gently go about your day feeling nurtured and nourished by Surya, the Sun and also the Earth grounding you.

22.01.2022 The message came from the figure in the front.... I am the wise part of your soul. I see everything with clarity. Listen to me whispering the truth, your hearts knowing. I AM, JUST BE... My / your soul is connected to this soul (the second smaller figure), this soul is connected to other souls, and other souls, and other souls. Sense this connectness. Know that no thought, movement, action is unconnected from you to these other souls. Let go of fear, anger, pride and all other negatives, let there be love only going from your wise part, to this soul, and this soul, and this soul, and this soul...... See more
21.01.2022 When we begin to practice the basic meditation, we may find that our mind won't stay still for a moment. But this condition is not permanent and will change as we practice. Eventually we will be able to place our mind at rest at will, at which point we will have successfully alleviated the manifest disturbance of the disturbing emotions. After developing tranquility meditation, we can then apply the second technique, which consists of learning to recognise and directly experi...ence the nature of our own mind. This nature is referred to as emptiness. When we recognise this nature, and rest in it, then all of the disturbing emotions that arise dissolve into this emptiness and are no longer afflictions. This is the freedom, which is called Buddhahood. Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche Art by Maia Martin Acrylic on canvas

18.01.2022 Surrender...... There are times when we must surrender to the process happening in our lives. There are times when we need to retreat and rest, and there are times when we can go forth with ease. How do we do this? Stay in touch with your inner feelings and intuitions, they will not lead you astray. Hold firm to what is in your own heart, not the heart of others. Have love, kindness, compassion, strength and courage for yourself at all times. The Indian Yogi Swami Sivinanada... says "Every perceived failure is a stepping stone towards the Divine; Every perceived illness or disease is a purging of Karma; Every perceived unpleasant incident is a test of your inner strength." Everything in your life is perfect exactly the way it is as you are the creator of your life. Everything happens through you, not to you, so surrender and enjoy the process! See more

16.01.2022 I have been delving into Zen art and really love how it mirrors you. You create a simple form from the feeling you have invoked in a meditative state before starting to apply your brush stroke. This one is 'centredness'.
16.01.2022 One of the most well known poses in Yoga is Downward Facing Dog. Most people know it for the stretch like a dog or cat rising after a sleep or rest, but did you know that there are many more benefits to it, which makes it a wonderful pose to do every now and then when you feel inclined. The physical benefits include the gentle stretch of the spine and legs, including hamstrings; it tones all of the legs; helps relieve pain in the heels and can soften calcaneal spurs; it reduc...es stiffness in the shoulder blades as well as helping arthritis in the shoulder joints; helps with heavy menstrual flow and also can prevent hot flushes during menopause. I love doing it just for these benefits, but wait, there is still more. The most beneficial side effects are that it slows the heart beat and allows blood to flow to the brain, calming the brain while gently stimulating the nerves. I am sometimes reminded of a funny story I told my students many years ago . I had gone to the bank to 'fix' something in our banking and received no help at all from the bank. I drove home muttering to myself about the unhelpfulness of customer service and then realised that they weren't worrying about it now, they had moved on, but I hadn't. Once I got home I put down my belongings and literally 'dropped' into Downward Dog for 3 minutes .. it no longer mattered, my mind had calmed and I had let it go just like them. If you need to 'move on', let go of anger, or relax into nothingness, drop into Downward Dog and let go, just let be, as well as stretch everything out. The Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Indian text, states that "Yoga is the producer of the greatest happiness" Downward Dog can do this for you, try it for a few minutes and notice the benefits in body, mind and spirit!

02.01.2022 When there isn't time or energy for a long Yoga practise you can do something amazing for yourself in 5 minutes.. Legs up the wall is one of the favourites for a quick rebalance and energise. You can practise this pose wherever you are, simply find a wall. The pose Legs up the wall is a gentle pose which brings the blood and lymph fluid to the abdomen, refreshes the leg muscles, and reversing the circulation from the feet downwards. Great for when you have tired legs and fee...t after standing too long. It slows down the heart rate and is relaxing to the mind, body and spirit. Simply sit close to the wall, sideways, then swing your legs up the wall. Lie back on the floor, you can use a bolster under your buttocks and a small pillow to support your head and neck. Keep your legs straight and let your arms fall away from your sides wherever they are comfortable. Relax here focusing on your breathing for 5-20 minutes. Enjoy! See more
