We all have varying degrees of 50 or more types of pleasure in this world. Some of these pleasures last seconds, some days and some feel like the deepest sense of constant joyful inner peace. The satisfaction of momentary pleasures like a favourite cake or a glass of wine tend to fade as we allow … Continue reading Autumn outside, spring inside!

Cognitive flexibility
Most of us often live like robots. For example, if someone is rude we might scream back or use another automatic defence program. Our loved ones might make us feel upset and then we can't stop eating comfort food or enjoying that extra glass of wine. A good way to break the robotic programs is … Continue reading Cognitive flexibility

Talking body
The body tells the ongoing story of our life. We must pay attention and listen. For example, in a stressful or dangerous situation, flexor muscles tend to be activated in order to prepare for survival. Ideally this reaction should disappear when the danger is gone, but often the mind keeps us tuned into anticipating the … Continue reading Talking body
The exit is where the entrance is.

Authentic priorities!
Year after year I see the same pattern emerge in new yoga students. Initially there is very obvious enthusiasm and curiosity which is soon damped down with the realisation that this yoga thing requires dedication, commitment and patience. They then disappear for weeks or longer. Some Souls recognise what a powerful transformation tool it is … Continue reading Authentic priorities!
Emotional fire!
Buddha statues all over the world give the impression that yoga and meditation will bring a sweet smile of tranquility. The inconvenient reality is that inner peace isn't always easy to achieve as long as unresolved negativity like frustration and anger continue to bubble up to the surface. Some people welcome this challenge while others … Continue reading Emotional fire!
