You’re trying to stop the wind, dressed as a kite. How are you going to do it?

Posted on July 26, 2026July 26, 2026 by Pierre

During Sunday meditation we create a space of stillness. Less talking from me and more presence in the absence of words. Silence, however, is not merely the absence of sound, it’s the profound presence of existence. Embracing silence is not about fighting the presence of noise, but having acceptance for the transient movements of consciousness … Continue reading You’re trying to stop the wind, dressed as a kite.

Who is the captain of your ship?

Posted on July 25, 2026July 26, 2026 by Pierre

What is the relationship between your mind and your soul? Today’s meditation explores this dynamic… "Feelings, by themselves, do not create problems. It is rather the tendency to interpret and analyze them that creates our problems. When out of habit you believe those interpretations, it is there that the suffering begins." - Mooji "Your Daily … Continue reading Who is the captain of your ship?

The ice cannot resist the melting.

Posted on July 23, 2026July 23, 2026 by Pierre

Mooji’s words might just be the most beautiful description of doing "inner work" that I've ever come across. It's natural for any of us to look at our own "worst" qualities and want that to change, but when we judge or punish ourselves for it, we become involved in an inner war. And while this … Continue reading The ice cannot resist the melting.

In the landscape of modern spirituality, few voices resonate with the same profound simplicity and infectious warmth as Mooji. Born Anthony Paul Moo-Young in Jamaica and later finding his spiritual home in the lineage of the great Advaita master Papaji, Mooji has become a global beacon for those seeking the "direct path" to self-realization.

This first quote from Swami Vivekananda can possibly be a little controversial - "The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves." - Swami Vivekananda From experience I know that this can be a touchy subject... religion... and then the suggestion that your own true nature should be your … Continue reading Peel back the layers of everything that you are not, until you come to the deep realization of what you are…

Being the Observer.

Imagine yourself sitting at a cafe in the corner of a bustling marketplace. As you sip on your tea or coffee, you’re taking in the sounds of vendors hawking their wares, vibrant colors assaulting your eyes, and the intoxicating scent of exotic spices fill the air.

Talking to ourselves harshly comes quite naturally, yet it seems ‘weird’ to deliberately talk to ourselves in a positive way.

Posted on July 15, 2026July 15, 2026 by Pierre

Have you ever wondered how we can create a world in which people judge and criticise each other less? How do we move closer to a world in which we all allow one another to be human? That’s a tall order right? But could we at least see a starting point? How would we start … Continue reading Talking to ourselves harshly comes quite naturally, yet it seems ‘weird’ to deliberately talk to ourselves in a positive way.

In September 1893, a virtually unknown monk from India stood before the Parliament of Religions in Chicago. With his opening words -"Sisters and brothers of America" - he didn't just capture the audience's attention; he fundamentally shifted the Western world's understanding of the mind and spirit.

Every path is a journey to God.

Posted on July 12, 2026July 12, 2026 by Pierre

Hello heart whisperers. For today's silent meditation I couldn't find any content from Jeff Brown that particularly speaks to silence or meditation, so I thought I'd share some of his work that most resonated with me this week. And what particularly struck me, was some of his content on love and relationships. I often get … Continue reading Every path is a journey to God.

There was a time when your “coping mechanism” might have literally kept you alive, and that needs to be honoured, not judged.

Posted on July 11, 2026July 11, 2026 by Pierre

Sometimes in the pursuit of growth, we may find ourselves in a world obsessed with self-improvement, where every behavior that doesn't serve our highest potential gets labeled as "self-sabotage." This narrative is not only harmful - it's fundamentally wrong. The truth is, there's nothing within you that desires to sabotage your success or happiness. What … Continue reading There was a time when your “coping mechanism” might have literally kept you alive, and that needs to be honoured, not judged.

The only difference between you and God is that you have forgotten that you are divine.

Posted on July 9, 2026July 10, 2026 by Pierre

I believe that wisdom is to be found in our ability to balance the paradoxes of life. The truth is that paradoxes are everywhere, and we tend to be ill equipped to deal with this complexity of life, when we’ve been brought up with the kind of black and white thinking that wants to place everything … Continue reading The only difference between you and God is that you have forgotten that you are divine.

We just have to learn how to be turned on by humanness.

REALNESS - being real, this really lights me up! I don't think that I was always like this, but something changed for me at some point in my own journey when I came to a deeper understanding of what it means to be human. It's messy! We were conceived in a messy puddle of human … Continue reading We just have to learn how to be turned on by humanness.

When we are un-centred, we become easy targets.

What an amazing time to be alive! In the annals of human history, often thousands of years have passed by without much changing in the human story.

Traditional spirituality often defines the idea of "enlightenment" as a vertical ascent - a rising above our messy human nature into a state of detached, transcendent peace. It promises a way out of our pain by keeping our eyes fixed on the absolute, encouraging us to transcend the limitations of the ego and the body. … Continue reading Jeff Brown Collection

A surrender to dealing with reality just as it is.

Two little words that might be able to tell us something about dealing with the onslaught of daily noisiness and overwhelm. Two little words formed from the very same alphabet soup of letters.... silent and listen... a beautiful coincidence or a silent message waiting to be heard? Life can be a whirlwind of thoughts, emotions, … Continue reading A surrender to dealing with reality just as it is.

Find the LIFE inside of you right now! Life is not something that’s waiting to happen.

Posted on July 4, 2026July 4, 2026 by Pierre

Life. It's a word we throw around so casually, yet it often feels like we don’t quite know what to even do with it. It seems like “life” often becomes something we chase after. Some future destination that we believe will somehow be "better" than right now, instead of the vibrant tapestry we are weaving … Continue reading Find the LIFE inside of you right now!

This brings an end to the inner war. This creates true inner freedom.

What does the road look like towards finding peace from internal conflict? Do we need “difficult” emotions to disappear, so that we can be free from those experiences? Or do we need to find a different way to understand our inner world? Jeff Foster suggests no more wrestling with negative thoughts or desperately trying to … Continue reading This brings an end to the inner war. This creates true inner freedom.

Help me see where to surrender, and show me where to take action.

We live in a world that glorifies action. A "go-go-go" world where we're constantly bombarded with messages about productivity, hustle, and achieving more. To-do lists overflow, schedules are crammed, and the pressure to constantly achieve can be overwhelming. Now, of course productivity has its place, but the over-glorification of action can create an unhealthy imbalance … Continue reading Help me see where to surrender, and show me where to take action.
