A week or two ago, Greg said these words to me “life is continuous”.  Obviously, this was not some amazing revelation as I believe this to the core, but the simplicity of those 3 words felt like an anchor, a force idea, an impulse of profound truth I can easily remember and fasten myself to as inspiration to never give up, to never stop on this complex, convoluted road of the revelation of our true Selves.

I believe we are eternal souls inhabiting fleeting physical bodies.  When we die, we give up the body, but according to enlightened yogic masters and early Christian leaders, the place we evolve to in one life is the place we begin our next life. 

So, when is the time to transform?  When is the best time to make the efforts?  The answer is always NOW.

I am now in my 50’s and I do understand the feeling to start winding down in life, maybe semi-retiring, giving up a bit on dreams and hopes we had in the past. 

I have seen this in so...

When I first heard this from Advaitananda a few years ago I felt a chill down my spine, without really knowing why as at the time I believed I was happy with my “bedroom” life.

In a later session of The Who Am I? Series we look at “Who am I in relationships and Intimacy”. This is a very tender area for most of us in truth. It is an area many of us do not speak of with real honesty. We either brag or are silent.

When I began having breathwork clients in my late 20’s I was so shocked at how prevalent and painful the intimate world was for those that came to me. Seemingly happy couples sharing a bed night after night, but with no intimacy sometimes for many years. One person rejecting. The other frustrated. Both silently heartbroken.  

How are you in the bedroom? Is it full of tiredness, suppressed anger, hurt, or joy? I don’t want to sound like I looking for miserable stories here, but with my experience in life and people opening to me, I...

Do we have to give up “normal” life to pursue a spiritual path or is there a way to live life with all its trials, tribulations, ups and downs and simultaneously progress on the spiritual path? 

Are you feeling trapped in work you don’t like, in relationships you don’t like, trapped by the intensity of bringing up children?

The first thing I would say is to let go of the need to escape from reality moments at a time. 

This attempt to escape takes us out of the present moment. Yet the present is the place not only to truly resolve our life’s issues, but also the present is the place of our true Divine self, the seat of true joy and profound peace. The spiritual life is in the present.

Feel into relaxing and surrendering to the present – little steps by little steps. This is slow and requires perseverance.  How many years have you been trying to escape? You have been perseverant at that!

A way to relax that is accessible to all, if...

To reach the mental highs we often have to explore and then contrast the mental lows. So from the mind's valleys to the mind’s peaks we will support you every step of the way, until you conquer your biggest mental challenges, your personal mount Everest.

Everyday we face opportunities and challenges than when fully explored, we believe no matter how painful they call us to grow as human beings. In our minds' eyes and through our perception we like to see this as climbing up what appears to be our own inner mount Everest.

Rise up with us, awaken from your slumber and conquer the biggest challenge life has set you, the inner workings of your mind, the challenge which is your own mind, your very own mount Everest

Take a long deep loving breath in and exhale everything that doesn’t support you or serve you.

In totally supporting everyone’s quest towards understanding the mind as an incredible  instrument and achieving your goals/outcomes, this week ask yourself...

Welcome to Mind Focused Monday, where I support you in remembering the POWER of a still, TRULY FOCUSED MIND.

This week, let me support you in creating a quicker, more efficient path up the mountain. To know that you are ascending on life's climbs towards your worldly and spiritual goals you need to start measuring the impact of all the efforts you are making. Think about it as spiritual efficiency, so when most people are engaged in practices that send them around or down their mountain, you are making continual and steady progress upwards.

Finding the optimal routes to the top and knowing you are progressing is somehow magically supportive. I will emphasize keywords of guidance, like Measure Twice, Now Proceed, as words for you to use either out loud or in your mind’s eye, as a guide, a reminder or a mantra in the week ahead.

Let’s dive into an example to magnify your self-awareness and understanding. So, before undertaking any practices e.g. yoga, meditation,...

Welcome to Mind Focused Monday, where I support you in remembering the POWER of a still, TRULY FOCUSED MIND. 

This week, let me support you in starting to build a solid foundation away from unnecessary mental agitation. Building a still, peaceful, loving, spacious mind as a foundation. I will emphasize keywords of guidance, like Still, Peaceful, Loving, Spacious mind, as words for you to use either out loud or in your mind’s eye, as a guide, a reminder or a mantra in the week ahead.

Slowly start now ……..thinking deeply about the possibility of a Still, Peaceful, Loving, Spacious mind as the backdrop against which your mind plays out. Really imagine a life in which in every situation your perception is now totally infused with Stillness, Peacefulness, Love & Spaciousness. Let’s agree, It would be truly amazing, wouldn’t it?

So what’s a subtle but huge mind-changing step that we can take towards this Still, Peaceful, Loving, Spacious mind...

Welcome to Mind Focused Monday, where I support you in remembering the POWER of a TRULY FOCUSED MIND. 

This week, let me support you in realising that we can all experience personal super powers. Let me help you understand that it begins by accepting that often we are on automatic pilot and out of control. From this startling admission we can consciously work towards regaining control then triggering our personal super powers.

Return to these keywords, personal super powers, as words for you to use either out loud or in your mind’s eye, as a guide, a reminder or a mantra in the week ahead.

Become aware of your personal energy within right now. Fully consider this energy that you have available to you. Now focus specifically on the energy of the choice mechanism within you. That's right, focus on the energy that you use to choose to control the stillness or the movements of the mind. 

Stay with me, this energy is often referred to as willpower. That’s right....

Welcome to Mind Focused Monday, where I support you in remembering the POWER of a TRULY FOCUSED MIND. 

This week, let me support you in realising that everyone benefits when we open the heart. To do this safely, first you need to create a safe context by removing the dangers of your mental agitation. From here you can begin to actively take loving steps forward and to open the heart. 

Return to these keywords, open the heart, as words for you to use either out loud or in your mind’s eye, as a guide, a reminder or a mantra in the week ahead.

Let’s start with an important warning, open the heart when the mind is agitated and this is what causes all of the pain. Imagine the heart is a precious bird that you own, yet you have to keep it caged because you’re scared of it being hurt, damaged, or even killed.

Now, intuitively, you’re super keen to allow it, the freedom to fly. It really feels right within you to do that. But here’s the twist, because...

Welcome to Mind Focused Monday, where I support you in remembering the POWER of a TRULY FOCUSED MIND. 

This week, let me support you in realising that we can all experience a sun rise within. Let me help you understand that it begins with a flicker or glimpse of light from within the darkness. From here the dark clouds can begin to part, the blue sky can appear and you can experience a sun rise within.

Return to these keywords, a sun rise within, as words for you to use either out loud or in your mind’s eye, as a guide, a reminder or a mantra in the week ahead.

When we experience a sun rise within often and easily on the inside, we dispel the darkness, which includes emptying the noise of the mind, that is the sun rising within us and the darkness of the mind being dispelled. So take heart because just a glimmer or flicker of light within is all you need to get you started and it’s easier to locate and you might think.

At The Quantum Questions, our initial...

Welcome to Mind Focused Monday, where I support you in remembering the POWER of a TRULY FOCUSED MIND. 

This week, let me support you in realising that all you are is changing anyway. Let me help you give up your resistance to change because like I say, all you are is changing anyway, moment to moment. 

As further support and for a little fun, again this week, I will emphasize the keywords of guidance, all you are is changing, as words for you to use either out loud or in your mind’s eye, as a guide, a reminder or a mantra in the week ahead.

Ponder this deeply, all you are is changing anyway, moment to moment…

So with matters of the mind, resistance is futile. That’s right, resistance in the form of pushing, fighting or struggling against it, is futile. Give up the battle with the mind. Give up the battle with the resistance of the mind, and instead make peace with this beautiful instrument by letting go of resistance and relaxing into your heart.
