Hey everyone! For those joining the February Meditation Gong, here’s the simple format we’ll all follow to keep things clean, structured, and powerful: 1️⃣ Your Daily Goal Meditate every day in February. - Solo practice - Anytime that suits you - Minimum: 10 minutes (20–30 minutes recommended for a deeper challenge) 2️⃣ How to Log Your Session Post your daily meditation entry in the comments of THIS page only.(Keeping everything here means the timeline stays clean.) 3️⃣ Post Format (Copy This!) Example: 1.2.26 – Day 1 – 10:07–10:31 meditation Please time your meditation and include start + end times. 4️⃣ If You Miss a Day Traditional gong rules = restart from Day 1.But for this February-only gong, we’ll adapt: - If you miss a day, continue when you can. - Your day count will fall behind the date. Example:If it’s 10 Feb but you’ve completed 8 sessions, your post would be: 10.2.26 – Day 8 – 19:00–19:25 meditation 5️⃣ Completion Goal By the end of February, aim to complete: ✔️ 28 total meditation days✔️ Each day: 10+ minutes(20–30 minutes recommended if you want a stronger test of discipline and depth.) 6️⃣ Important Rule No post = missed day. You must post the same day you meditate.I won’t accept late uploads — so build the habit: Meditate → Immediately post your result here. 7️⃣ Most Important… Enjoy the gong. Let it shape your discipline, clarity, energy, and presence throughout February. Let’s go! Any questions then please shout 🙏✨

I will be hosting a two day retreat in Upminster in May on the 23rd & 24th: Qigong, Tai Chi, Breathwork, Meditation, NonDual Teachings, Gong Bath, Tea Tasting, Nature Walks 10:00-16:00 each day - get in touch for more info. As its Easter next week and for those who might not have seen my Instagram Post - I thought I would share the answer to few client questions I received on why Easter Day is on a different day each year. As well a new article up is titled Meditation is Not just Sitting Down - have added the opening paragraph below too. Question: Why does Easter not fall on the same day each year like Christmas? Easter falls on a different date each year because it isn’t based on a fixed calendar — it’s based on natural cycles, specifically the Sun and the Moon. It’s celebrated on the first Sunday after the first Full Moon following the Spring Equinox. Ancient cultures placed huge importance on the Moon because it was a visible way to track time and cycles — the full moon represented completion, fullness, and peak energy. The Spring Equinox marks the turning point of the year: the end of winter and the beginning of spring, when day and night are equal and light begins to dominate. This signalled fertility, growth, and the start of the agricultural season — quite literally the return of life. Christianity later fixed Easter to a Sunday to align with the resurrection of Jesus, but Sunday itself already had significance. In older traditions, particularly in Roman culture, Sunday was associated with the Sun — even linked to the worship of “Sol Invictus,” the unconquered sun.

Hi Everyone, For those in Premium we've just wrapped up Lesson 7. Info below: The final lesson of Module 1 brings everything together. After exploring how the body, mind, sensations and even the world appear in awareness, we now turn to something very simple: the quiet sense of I Am. This lesson is about stabilising in that recognition — resting in the basic fact of being, without analysing, forcing, or chasing experiences. When we return again and again to this simple presence, clarity begins to settle naturally and the mind loses its grip. The video is now live inside the group — take 10–15 minutes to watch and explore resting as the simple sense of being.

Hi Everyone, And a big welcome to all the new members who joined over the weekend and this week! 👋 I’ll get the usual notes out of the way first before sharing what’s new and what’s coming up inside the community. Meditation Calendar & Accountability: The default meditation slots on the calendar can always be added to. If you enjoy meditating with others (even electronically!) and would like some accountability, please send over any time slots that work well for you and I’ll add them to the calendar. If I can’t make those times, others in the group might be able to — so feel free to share. Everyone’s routine is different. Some people like meditating before bed around 21:00, while others prefer to be feet up with a cuppa (or wine) watching Netflix at that time. So if you have any preferences for meditation times on different days, just let me know and we’ll build the schedule around what works best for the group. Coffee Morning & Onboarding: For anyone who would like to meet or have a private onboarding chat about everything that’s available in the community (and a peek into the other tiers), feel free to come along to the Coffee Morning if you can. If that time doesn’t work, just suggest another time and we’ll arrange another slot. Q&A Sessions: The live Q&A session is usually on Fridays, but if other times suit people better, please shout and I’ll include them where my diary allows. Upcoming Online Qigong Presentation: I’m also planning to run an online Qigong presentation where we’ll explore the history, roots, and energetic principles of Qigong. This will be a more educational session looking at where these practices come from, how they evolved through Daoist traditions, and how the energetic principles behind Qigong actually work. I’m currently considering a few possible times: • Friday 20th March — mid afternoon • Sunday 22nd March — 13:00 • Friday 3rd April — 15:00 If you’re interested in attending, please let me know in the community and which of these dates works best for you.
