Meditation and Connection

Nov 07 2024 40 mins  
This is a recording from a class on Thursday, November 7. The topic of the class talk is Meditation and connection. In it, I explain how some Meditation practices (including the practices in the Seven Keys to Clarity program running on The Meditation Course) help us release the burden of beliefs that form our mental model and cause us to feel separate from nature and each other.

Relaxing Your Mind & Body

Oct 27 2024 50 mins  
In this class recorded in Bromley on Saturday 26 October and part of The Meditation Course, I explain how we can relax our mind and body together. The way that the mind connects to the body is fascinating. By relaxing the body deeply we can come to a place of deep, focus, and calm for the mind.

The Perception Zone Meditations

Oct 20 2024 42 mins  
Meditation is mental training. It's easy to become diverted into the meditative experience itself and think that is the end of it. It's important to remember that meditation is mental training for life. We can learn many skills from our meditation practice that can benefit us in different ways. It's never too early to put what we learn in meditation into use as during our day. The

Gaining and Maintaining Focus

Oct 14 2024 50 mins  
The direction of the mind is a combination of thoughts and emotions that lead us into an inner narrative. This narrative can be unhelpful or even distracting. In this class I taught on Saturday, 12 October, we explored the relationship between the mind and emotion. We practised some meditations that help us work with the mind when its direction is powerful and intense. The meditat

Mastering Meditation: Coping With Constant Change

Sep 26 2024 37 mins  
We can't predict our future mental states or how we'll think or feel because we can't predict the events and experiences that will create those thoughts and feelings. Because of this uncertainty, it is unwise to rely on a single meditation practice, however cosy and comfortable, or even a tiny selection that gives us what we need right now. Meditation is mental tr

This episode is a recording of a class on The Meditation Course on Thursday, 15 August. I am posting more regularly but on a private podcast. Contact me for details.

Open Awareness and Meditating in Nature

May 20 2024 34 mins  
After our meditation and nature connection retreat at the weekend, I thought it was a good idea to run a class on the meditations that we did in nature. Connection in nature is all about allowing natural environment into an our experience. All the sensations and smells and sounds become part of the totality of the experience of the present moment, which is what mindfulness is. To e

The Hunter-Gatherer Paradox

Apr 09 2024 33 mins  
Hi everyone, Today's meditation class explored the link between our natural connection to other people and to nature that works so well for our ancestors, but breaks down in modern societies with millions of people. Unfortunately, I know the audio quality was poor and so I have cleaned it up and made it available as a podcast and on the meditation course website which is at https:/
