Welcome to the ”4-Part Guided Meditation Series: Journey Through the Mindfulness of the Four Noble Truths”
Part 1: The First Noble Truth
What if embracing discomfort could lead to profound personal transformation? Join Zaw as we explore the Noble Awakening Meditation, a practice designed to help you connect with the present moment and understand the first noble truth—the truth of suffering, or Dukkha. Guided by mindful breathing and compassionate acceptance, we invite you to acknowledge and embrace any discomfort, whether physical, emotional, or mental, without judgment. This guided meditation will help you release tension and soften resistance, providing a pathway to deeper awareness.
As you sit in silence and stillness, we'll guide you through observing your thoughts and sensations with curiosity and openness. By facing suffering mindfully, you transform it from a source of despair to a catalyst for liberation.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
