Yoga: The futility (and necessity) of effort
Trying. Striving. Struggling. When we first start upon the path of any applied pursuit, be it self-cultivation, a skill or hobby like learning an instrument, there is no denying that effort is absolutely required. Indeed, effort seems to be rewarded with what seems like progress. And the more effort we apply, the more effort we
We’re back!
We’ve been a bit quiet the last 9-12 months and we are sorry if you have missed us or if we have been slow to respond. Where have we been? Let us bring you up to speed… Traditional Yoga has the lofty goal of enlightenment; freedom from suffering in this lifetime. Practices like meditation, hatha yoga,
Winning is Grinning
Who would have thought? Way back when, I got taught to fight. As a soldier, you learn at boot camp that you donât bring a knife to a gun-fight. âWeapons overmatchâ is the military jargon for âbring a bigger gunâ and this Monday Iâm reflecting on how the outer conflict of my service can provide
The Cost of Being Free (it isn’t Cheap!)
One of the good things about a commercial model for our Ashram was that it acted as a screen that separated the sincere seekers from the tyre kickers. Iâm guessing 90% of people saw our old $3000+ price tag of a retreat and simply⊠disappeared. âToo expensiveâ âNot in my budgetâ Or maybe even⊠âwhat
Pay-it-Forward
In our online communication, we make big claims. “Life-changing” “Transformative” “A journey of rediscovery” You may have thought we are exaggerating… or that we are sleazing onto you with hubris (or maybe that we are just a pack of wankers?!) We aren’t. We know what we share works. We’ve seen the tears, we read the emails,
Mission Focus
In my gung-ho days of service in the military, we were always badgered with âthe mission.â Often, we were made to memorise the pithy one line mission statement. It even had a formula; Do xxx⊠by yyyy⊠in order to zzzz. Kill/capture the bad guy, by tomorrow evening, in order to save the hostage. Iâm
The Rollercoaster of Life
High / Low. Up / Down. Twists / Turns. âŠ.The Polarity – Good / Bad Black / White If you ride on a rollercoaster long enough, youâll get sick. The nature of the ride is to thrill us, to entertain us, to excite us. Such is the nature of Life. But when you line up
Cutting through Indecisiveness
There you are⊠finally aware of why you are suffering. A dot is joined. You have come to the realisation that an impression or imprint was left on you at an early age. It might be an early childhood trauma, or perhaps a more subtle experience like the example embodied by a parent. Oftentimes, we
When Meditation meets Love
Modern life is frantic (to say the least!) It can also get… a little dry. In your imagination I invite you to compare the continual stream of notifications and never ending daily tasks… with a simple agrarian life, tending to a field, just a few thousands of years ago. Which one is more peaceful? What is
In The Trenches… of Life
I’m not much a fan of war. I had a taste of modern conflict (Afghanistan) and am thankful to not have experienced the horrors of the much larger and in many ways, more brutal wars of the 20th century. But war is war. And you don’t need to put on a uniform to experience the
Pay attention!
Itâs a funny phrase, isnât it? Most of us know that we could be more attentive to the task at hand. I once heard that our average attention span has come down from 40 minutes to goldfish levels of around 7 seconds. Gulp! What is it for you? How long do you last⊠until the mind wanders off?
The Momentary Pause
I didnât set out on an overtly spiritual path through life. It was more like I bumbled my way upon it by chance (after hitting a place of despair and asking for help.) My first few months of âopeningâ were characterised by confusion. One day I finally summoned the courage to enter a new-age book shop.
Smother me in Love!
âDamn, Iâve done it again!â Falling into an old pattern is easy. Breaking them can feel hard. What I notice is an instant reaching for the whip of self-flagellation. âYou didnât do it right.â As a long time sufferer of a harsh inner critic, I have had to learn to be gentle on myself. And
Priorities and Order
Monday Meditation Musings #012 “When I have time, I’ll do all of the things I want to.” “I’ll do what makes me happy… After I get this other more important thing done…” “One day…” What are the situations calling for your attention? What screams out as THE most important thing for you right now? Each day is
Delaying the Inevitable
So there you are, about to make a decision. But you are torn. Is it option one or option two? Do I go left, or right? Hidden behind rumination, is fear. Worry. A hypothetical sense of regret that, upon closer examination, doesnât yet exist. âif I make the wrong decision, it will cause me to
Keeping it Real
Monday Meditation Musings âSurely life can be better than this?!â I have seen my share of crushing lows. There were days I simply didnât want to go on⊠What are the questions you ask yourself when you are in the depths of your suffering? For me, the most hopeless is âwhy bother?â Iâve always been the
Your Soul is a Gardener
Time off. A holiday. A break. Rest. What is it that the body needs? How about the mind? Out here, I needed a week in the garden (the winter sun has kicked off the weed invasion…) When I first started to garden, I had a hard time understanding which bits of green to keep, and
Bigger Ain’t Better
Ever found yourself seeking a ‘big’ experience? Searching. Yearning. Chasing. I’ve spent the better part of my life wanting more. Somewhere upon my journey, I learned to associate size with accomplishment. In the army, it was all about bigger guns and more badass adventures. When I studied architecture it was all about bigger buildings and
