✣... Meditation comes naturally to a happy person.  Meditation comes automatically to a joyous person.    Meditation is very simple to a person who can celebrate, who can delight in life.    Start by looking around a little more like a child. Be a child again! That's what meditation is all about: being a child again -- a rebirth, being innocent again, not-knowing...    ✣ Osho    Image; Wari Om Yoga

Yoga has been a part of my life for almost 20 years. I have a passion for the art and study of Yoga that has often made me think of training to be a yoga teacher...and maybe one day I will.

Meditation, however, does elude me. I am a person who tends to rush through the day trying to eliminate things off my various mental to do lists. I crave simplicity and slowness, yet each morning I wake up with the same thought: "what do I need to do today?"

So on the cusp of  tomorrow's full moon lunar eclipse, I am making a promise to myself (and to my family!) to explore meditation in order to bring more patience, love, simplicity and joy into my life.


What are the intentions you will whisper under the the full moon  eclipse?

Life in Ethiopia - Early Days Part # 1...



We moved to Ethiopia last January, 2013 to live and teach in Addis Ababa for 18 months. It has been an amazingly humble jounry on all levels: mentally, physically, emotionally, financially, and spiritually.  As we prepare to move on from this land and its story - I find myself reflecting on the adventures we have had as a family so far.

This collection of photos was from our first mini road trip north east of the city, our first taste of life outside of the crammed capital city. And as you can see - farm land was transformed into a football pitch by my three sons who were craving SPACE to run and play.

 Some of my pics from Liwa Desert - 2008
 
 My second son - who was born in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E

Camping. Starry skies. Vast open space. Freedom. Stories and food shared around an open fire. Nomadic cultures. Ancient lands. The Dreaming. One with nature. SIMPLICITY.

The Desert has been on my mind lately. When we lived in the U.A.E we sought solace from our busy urban lives by driving out to the Liwa Desert. Pure magic. At the moment life is so hectic I miss and crave the simple magic that nature can provide.
