✨ A Beautiful Evening of Reflection, Breath & Big Questions ✨
Tonight’s meditation class took us gently into some of the deeper teachings inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh’s The Art of Living. Together we explored interbeing, emptiness, perception, consciousness, and the nature of reality — asking curious questions such as: 🌿 What does it really mean to be connected? 🌿 What is “me”… and where does “me” exist? 🌿 Are we separate selves, or part of a much larger web of life? 🌿 Is reality ultimate truth… or shaped by perception, conditioning, and the stories we tell? Through reflection, discussion, and our Breath of Interbeing meditation, we explored the beautiful possibility that we are full of “non-self” elements — connected through breath, body, Earth, and perhaps a little cosmic magic too ✨ These are big concepts. Not necessarily things to “understand” in one evening… but fascinating invitations to ponder, explore, and carry into our everyday lives. A little update from me too… There won’t be meditation classes during June. I’m in the middle of moving house and also preparing for an operation, so I’m taking my own advice and consciously slowing down a little to support healing, recovery, and a gentler pace. Sometimes self-care looks like breathing deeply, resting well, and allowing ourselves the grace to do less for a while. Thank you, as always, for your beautiful presence, curiosity, openness, and shared breathing selves 💛 Meditation will return… but for now, June will be a month of recovery, boxes, healing, and practising what I preach. Be gentle with yourselves.
