A Cog in The Machine? Reflections From The Teaching Skills Weekend

Latest NewsBy Duncan PageJuly 4, 2017Leave a comment

  “we are exploring together. We are cultivating a garden together with our backs to the sun. […] we are digging beneath the hard and crusty surface to the rich humus of our lives” -Parker Palmer Let Your Life Speak   This year (2017) marks the fifth year that I have been co-delivering mindfulness courses for…

Forest Meditation

Weekly ChallengeBy Mindfulness AssociationJuly 4, 2017Leave a comment

It’s early morning and I am enjoying my coffee in the great Boreal forest of Canada: a forest that spans across much of Canada, all the way from Labrador to the Rocky Mountains. It includes many lakes and rivers and is made up of Aspen, Birch and Spruce and other coniferous trees. However, most impressively,…

Abandon All Hope of Fruition

Heather's MusingsBy Heather Regan-AddisJuly 4, 2017Leave a comment

As many of you know, when I start my morning practice I pick one of Pema Chodron’s Compassion cards (click here). The one I picked this morning – one that I pick out ‘randomly’ on a regular basis and that is a daily reminder alarm on my phone each morning – is ‘Abandon all hope…

Sort of Back to Business as Usual

Latest NewsBy Duncan PageJune 29, 2017Leave a comment

After the conference the MAHQ seems quiet, as we get back into the usual routine of sending out course timetables and manuals, organising room hire, answering e-mails on everything you could imagine to do with mindfulness, and a host of other little jobs that generally keep us busy.  Writing this blog for example! Overall, I…

Some Reflections on The Weather

Heather's MusingsBy Heather Regan-AddisJune 27, 2017Leave a comment

I love British weather – it is cool – literally it stays within the extremes of very hot and very cold, being generally cool and livable. It is also lovely and damp, with plenty of rain giving rise to lush and sparkly green vegetation. I am reminded of this as I struggle through 39 degrees…

Family Follies

Weekly ChallengeBy Mindfulness AssociationJune 22, 2017Leave a comment

Warm greetings to you all! What do they say about travelling? It’s not about the destination, but the journey itself. Well, I am mid journey. I am on my way to the far reaches of Northern Canada and my cabin, where I hope to enjoy some downtime after our hugely successful Summer Conference! Funny, when…

Processing the Conference

Heather's MusingsBy Heather Regan-AddisJune 20, 2017Leave a comment

Thank you to all of you who attended the MA’s conference at Samye Ling this last weekend. My experience of it was overwhelmingly wonderful, with many old friends and new sharing practice and experience and supporting the vision of the MA to spread the benefits of Mindfulness and Compassion around the world. We started with…

The Red Zone!

Heather's MusingsBy Heather Regan-AddisJune 13, 2017Leave a comment

I am not feeling my usual self at the moment. I am more reactive, impulsive and my resistance to choosing to practice or to follow the options to promote well-being is through the ceiling. I am moving house, but surely that couldn’t be the problem? So, I googled this morning what the most stressful life…

Our Sounds

Weekly ChallengeBy Mindfulness AssociationJune 9, 2017Leave a comment

They are like a lasting kiss, our sounds, when they are tender. How else would I want to speak to you except in a way that unfolds your curves, rolls you out like a heirloom tapestry across a rare sky? You have an important story to tell. It is like mine. Yours is nearly complete.…
