After trying to figure out the answer to something

After trying to figure out the answer to something for quite a few weeks, I did 3 hours of kriya yoga, meditation and breathwork practice yesterday only to wake at 4am with the exact answer that I had been searching for...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Meditation creates space in your mind to allow the answers to come. The answers are always within you - you just have to use the key to unlock them.

Here is a glimpse of my altar that I use when I me

Here is a glimpse of my altar that I use when I meditate. It grounds my practice and is full of things I love, things that intrigue me, things that make me feel settled and calm. I choose to use an ancient antique tray as the base - old pieces fascinate me - the places they must have been, the wisdom they carry from the sights they have seen within their rugged lines & textures. Every time I come across beautiful old trays, large bowls and antique miniature tables I bring them home and after cleansing they take their place on the showroom shelves to await their next owner and so they journey on ...

Today is my birthday. Every few years around this

Today is my birthday. Every few years around this time I like to take some time out to contemplate what I have learnt over the last 5 or so decades. And so here are this year's thoughts.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Life, for me, is about adventures and memories and the people I surround myself with. I look at this photo of me taken 2 yrs ago by my daughter on a tiny island off the coast of Italy - I had just sold my business and found myself perched here after almost 40 hours of planes, trains, boats and taxis feeling absolutely and totally at peace. On that island we created 14 days of the most blissful memories that we will never forget and that I am forever grateful to have experienced. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In a perfect world life would be like this every day - bathed in sunshine, the scent of the Mediterranean, a total absence of stress and pressure, and a sense of eternal freedom. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But as we all know, life is typically not like that - and even more so now after the events of the last 12 months. As someone whose entire family are based thousands of kms away on the other side of the world I have had to adapt and accept that I do not know when I will see them again, and indeed even if I will ever see some of them again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Which brings me to one of my key learnings in recent times. There are things in life we can control, and some that we cannot. The three things we can always control are our actions, our words and how we handle our emotions. And if all we achieve in our lifetime is to do just that, then it will not be a life wasted.
