Meditation
all about meditation
Several of my clients get stuck during their meditation practice and often give up because they have some sort of misconstrued notion of what meditation actually is.
Exploring your spiritual, deeper, more mysterious side can be one of the most exhilarating experiences of your life. Spirituality can give you clarity, vision, and guidance where you had confusion, disappointment and lack of purpose. It can awaken your senses and arouse your intuition.
Have you ever laid in bed trying to sleep while a constant stream of thoughts flow through your mind? Do you perpetually think about random thoughts throughout the day?
I am not here to ‘do’ with my mind, but to ‘be’ from my heart. This means that I am constantly anchored in the present moment, and that I allow myself to feel.
Time is something so fleeting, as soon as you blink it’s already gone. The moment can seem so substantial at times, so heavy and so fixed in place. Yet in other situations it becomes ethereal, corporeal, and elusive.
What is attention? If you’re interested in spirituality you may have heard it called consciousness or presence. If you have an interest in psychology or are more on the hard-science side of things you may have heard it called mindfulness instead. Mindfulness is a useful term if you read it as “what you are mindful (aware) of,” and not so helpful if you consider it to be concerned primarily with the mind, that is, what you are actually thinking.
We all have annoyances like pesky little mosquitos, sand in our eyes or that one sock that gets lost in the laundry. Should we rid those?
The study of non-ordinary states of consciousness is quickly becoming an established area of scientific and philosophical inquiry. Yet, all the enthusiasm about finding out what these non-ordinary states are somehow obfuscates much bigger, important, and urgent questions: What as-of-yet unknown aspects of reality do they give us access to? And what significance do those hold for the human adventure in space-time?
A new study by researchers in Wisconsin, Spain, and France reports the first evidence of specific molecular changes in the body following a period of mindfulness meditation.

Trinity Bourne: We’d like to share this energy with you with our latest meditation, appropriately named ‘Mists of Avalon’. This is a meditation that frequently came to me earlier in my journey, shortly after I moved to the Sacred Isle of Avalon in England. It’s a spiritual journey from the the lower paradigm of the 3rd density, through the mist, into a higher vibrational paradigm. We transcend through the mists, as it dissolves around us, unravelling from the crown, one chakra at a time; until we are fully bathed in a world of higher consciousness. It’s a powerful meditation for evolution.
What does it mean to become more conscious? It is the progressive realization of conscious mastery over your mind. The challenge is that it takes consciousness to grow consciousness. But you needn’t worry about this because you already have the seed. Think of it like fire. You have a flame, and you want to turn that flame into a huge blaze. How do you do it? You add fuel. The following list includes examples of how you can add fuel to your flame of consciousness to become a raging inferno of consciousness. Well, OK, the analogy sort of falls apart there, but you get the idea.
Here is a list of over 100 documentaries you can watch for free online. They are about Science, Consciousness, ETs, you name it. It’s a smorgasbord of fascinating subjects to learn about.
How many times have you heard ‘meditation is good for you!’, yet you resist the actual act of sitting in silence because the mind is too great a foe to face? You’re not alone if the word ‘meditation’ strikes more fear than chords of peace, but by changing the way you think about it, perhaps it will become easier to devote at least 5 minutes per day towards contemplative reflection.
In this video I share about the power of stillness and the healing benefits of meditation.
