I observe my mind with amusement as I see the old patterns trying to take control and rule my life and I see them sulking as I refuse to be controlled by them. As each day passes and my observance of the world deepens a new perspective of the world keeps emerging and yet underneath I see the same cycles and patterns that have always been there continuing on their journey where very little really changes. 2010-4-27T00:00:00Z http://www.anahata.org.uk/page16.htm#56624 As the snow clears away and the grass and trees are seen in all their glory it is time to begin to put into place the seeds of our plans for this year so that they can begin to germinate over the next few weeks. Six months before we have the physical experience the energetic aspect has already been established for what is to come. This is why great masters know six months before their own death that it is coming as they can feel it in their energetic bodies. So from our reflections of ourselves and our life that New Year often brings we have a renewed vision for our future. It is time to take the steps to make that vision a reality. Dont be overwhelmed by the immensity of your task just take small steps in the right direction with clear and good intention and release all those doubts about what might be possible or what you deserve in life and everything will begin to fall into place. If you really want to be the creator of your own life and dont want to just be carried along by f... 2010-1-21T00:00:00Z http://www.anahata.org.uk/page16.htm#55891 To capture the essence the numerous smells and sights of India requires each of us to journey into that place to explore in our own way the beauty the poverty the humility and the wisdom. For each of us the journey will be unique but if we open ourselves to connecting with the people of India their stories their histories then we can be touched to the very core of our being by their words their tears and their joy. When we have many material things in life we are afraid that we will lose everything we have. When we have very little then each day is more about survival and we are transported more directly into the moment. We may not live to see tomorrow so we simply focus on today.There were often tears on my journey through India as I felt so deeply touched by the people I met and the experiences that came to me. I was blessed to have much time for silent contemplation bringing a deeper sense of clarity and peace into my experience of life. Being away from everything fa... 2010-1-11T00:00:00Z http://www.anahata.org.uk/page16.htm#53693 The familiar feelings of the cosy childhood arise unexpectedly as the child is fully present with her painting and the father smiles with joy at the sheer beauty of his daughters presence in life. It is the safe warm energy of the family space and yet the mother is absent. The feminine presence manifests through another who watches observing the beauty of father and child whilst present to the memories of her own childhood so full of light and joy. As the rain would fall making beautiful music against the window pane the child would smell the bread rising in the oven and know her mother was present perhaps the sound of gentle humming as her mother joyfully and fully present to the moment would take care of the family needs with no wish for anything different or more. Just a feeling of satisfaction of the existence in that moment that had always been imagined. Perhaps momentary feelings of bliss and connection unknown by the mind but nonetheless fe... 2009-11-30T00:00:00Z http://www.anahata.org.uk/page16.htm#53692 As the time passes and I sink deeper into the reality of being the peace is stronger and more profound. There is the view from the window of prairies disappearing into the distance meeting with the sky all I see is beauty. Beauty in the meeting of the distant field with the horizon beauty in the tiny blades of grass swaying gently in the breeze touched by a heavy rain drop still present from the recent rainfall. Totally present without a need for anything different without awareness of experience just a beingness that is until it is no longer. As the cycle of night and day brings the sun and the moon anew every time so the blades of grass exist within a cycle of life their own particular cycle of life. No fighting no expectation just being with what is. 2009-11-30T00:00:00Z http://www.anahata.org.uk/page16.htm#51816 Sometimes I question what the yoga show is really all about and yet I cannot deny that I enjoyed my two days there and was aware of many people being touched by the Kundalini Yoga practise as a result of the classesvarious conversations that people had over the three days. To teach an open class to 50 people using a head microphone whilst people are walking by and watching on is quite an experience. It is a long way from a peaceful room with candles and soft music that are often associated with yoga On the one hand the yoga show is totally commercial and as such the energy there is filled with that competitive fearful edge of the Piscean Age. Yet amongst all that are some real gems and some real heart centered and transformational work does take place. Interestingly its quite a paradoxical mix For me it does provide an opportunity to help introduce the teachings to many people that have never heard of Kundalini Yoga but also to provide a little more guidance to those people that h... 2009-11-2T00:00:00Z http://www.anahata.org.uk/page16.htm#51458 Always everything is changing but sometimes our awareness of this change is precise and clear and sometimes the change is so magnificent in its manifestation that it is as if we are obliged to stop for a moment and notice. This is the space in which I currently find myself. With my last 10 days staying at this flat which has been my home for the last 18 months I find myself clearing out old paperwork and bringing all my business uptodate. There has been a powerful clearing of space within over the last few years and now that manifests in the outer world. A cycle is ending with the year being 2009 and with me being in the 7th year of a 7 year cycle of consciousness. My age also points to particular changes which I can feel manifesting as each day passes. Again I find my life experiences confirming the teachings that I have been blessed to find. A deepening within is occurring and removal from current life circumstances is sure to release the remaining particles of habitual patter... 2009-10-27T00:00:00Z http://www.anahata.org.uk/page16.htm#51457 Sometimes the day feels so long other times it feels too short how can this be... our relation to time our control over time mastery of the 2 immortality appears.Contemplation meditation brings peace of mind expansive thoughts no limits no judgements cosy body feelings lightness of body and mind stillness oh so beautiful manifestation always the consequence. 2009-10-24T00:00:00Z http://www.anahata.org.uk/page16.htm#50100 As the rain falls heavily from the sky I feel so privileged to be watching and listening from the inside as I stay warm and dry with my hot drink and warm muffin. The nights are beginning to draw in and the sunny days are fewer. Again we feel the autumnal energies sweeping through us our energies change alongwith our outlook. As I listen to some eclectic French music whilst in this very contemplative mood it is as if Im whisked off to another time another place another experience did I dream it did I truly experience it in this physical body is it some one elses memory that has lodged itself into my subconscious...As my level of subtelty increases so my awareness of time never stopping feels very BIG and hence the ongoing never ending change that is embedded in the very core of life is experienced in deeper and more profound ways. I experience myself as the same inner being of many years before and yet it is true that I now see and experience the world through very different eyes a... 2009-10-6T00:00:00Z
