Finding The Lessons In Everything
A Hearty Hello Groovers! How are you all? I hope you’re doing well! It feels like Spring is finally upon us which is exciting, even if the famous grey skies of Brittania still have their hold over your locale! I have been very kindly offered the use of a villa in southern Portugal for 3…

The Taxi Driver
Hello Gang, Hope your Vedic Meditation is going beautifully. Please forgive the delay since our last post, running our first retreat for two years ended up being a massive endeavour, and seeing lots of old friends whilst temporarily back in the UK meant I was away from my keyboard and our online meditation courses more…

Recognising Ego
Hello Campers, Hope you are well and that your transcendental meditation (in London or online) is going beautifully.

Consistency
Hello Campers, Hope you are well and that your vedic meditation is going beautifully. There are plenty of other benefits of meditation as well. A somewhat briefer instalment for you today, but hopefully no less thought provoking. Firstly, I want us all to ask ourselves the question, do we agree that a person should not…

Justification
Howdy Groovers, I hope you’re all well and your mindful meditation is going beautifully. For this week’s contribution I wanted to talk about the subject of justification. For we all find ourselves engaging in it, a lot more regularly than we realise. At times it’s knowing, oftentimes it’s not. And of course, we also find…

Happy New Year from Beeja
Hello Gang, I hope you’re all feeling fine and dandy now that Spring is truly kicking in and that your Vedic Meditation practice is going great. Its funny how our external circumstances can affect our mood so much! All of a sudden, things feel more positive than they did when we deep in the winter…
