more...In the meeting we discussed the Ego - what it is, how it functions - and whether we need to be concerned about it. The meditation begins at 64 minutes.
more...This month's recording is just the meditation from our meeting. The meditation is a practice that helps us to not automatically jump on-board with every thought, feeling and sensation. The metaphor used is of standing on a 'platform', letting the trains pass by. During the meditation there is a reading from 'Stillness Speaks' written by Eckhart Tolle.
more...We may create new year resolutions about things we want to resolve or do or accomplish - but what about our overall life purpose? It was New Year's Day when we met...and what better day to consider this huge question!? There were sections from two books that we read and discussed: 'A New Earth' - Eckhart Tolle - and 'The Wonderous Journey' - Ilie Cioara. Meditation begins at 01:10:30
more...This month we continued to look at teachings that have been important or perhaps challenging to you on your Inner Journey. Two quotes were sent to me in advance, plus I selected two further quotes from Eckhart Tolle that related to the same topic - which are all copied into the page - below the video... The meditation begins at 1:07 in the video.
more...This month I invited those who came to bring along something to read out from a book that had been particularly helpful to them on their spiritual journey. We looked at a passage from 'The Untethered Soul' by Michael Singer that offers a way to step away from the constant stream of thoughts. And I read a section from 'Stillness Speaks' by Eckhart Tolle on how nature can help us find the inner dimension of stillness within. The section by Eckhart led into the concluding contemplation - which starts around 59 minutes into the video.
more...In the individual lives of human beings, great trauma and deep suffering often trigger Spiritual Awakening... So perhaps the combination of all the traumas and suffering that are increasing across the planet will lead to the Awakening of Humanity? Please watch the video linked in the description where Eckhart Tolle speaks about this topic - and then the conversation that follows.
more...This session focuses on a method that helps us avoid getting caught up in the energy of unwanted thoughts and feelings that arise in us, and energies from other people and situations. At the end we have a 15 minute contemplation/meditation on this method - so if you prefer to go directly to that, start the video at the 1:00:00 time point. During the session the book 'Letting Go' by Suzhen Liu is mentioned (available on Amazon).

more...The topic of discussion for this meeting is: What is Spiritual Awakening?
more...In 'spiritual' discussions it is common to get into very theoretical ideas and beliefs, which, although interesting to look at, often have little practical value in our lives. This month however, we will discuss a truly important understanding that directly impacts all our lives...can you guess what this might be?
more...The questions for this meeting were: With the Ukraine war, I’ve been thinking about life and death, and about basic honesty, how can Putin, other leaders and the Russian media just lie?
