Grace & Joy!

An 18 minute guided meditation for relaxation, grounding and presence. This is my own meditation, inspired by my own practice and elements of others I've loved over the years.

This is a beautiful meditation for centring before intuitive painting, for allowing all to emerge without the 'thinking mind' of judgement and 'ought-to-bes' taking control.

An audio version of a blog post written a little while ago, with much added! ...including Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd ...quite surprising how they jumped in :)

On managing energies, and becoming a skilled empath... from initially noticing, then returning to sender... to ultimately not being affected at all, and remaining as the witnessing space x

Visualising a quiet, beautiful room of one's own, for calming, centring and coming home.

A simple, gentle practice that can stay with you for years, visioning a beautiful space... another way to connect to the deeper space of peace that is always within, and is who we truly are.... no-matter how difficult or distracting the externals may feel to be.

Sitting in the garden this morning and there was such a sense of pause, a hush, for a moment so intensified, so palpable, all senses heightened ... I had my diary with me -  and a poem came through the drizzle, so quickly written x

An episode of 4:43 mins, and a morning poem written quickly after noticing how I was reading a sentence.
On how we constuct meaning, on making sense...and this led to the Hindu Maya - the play of existence, non-dual, Advaita Vedanta, literary theory and celebration! ...and the garden jackdaws x

An episode of 4:55 mins, and a Sunday morning poem, after a week of morning poems...written in a few quiet moments.

The themes of cycles and recycles emerged, from birth and death & the seasons to broken things, laundry and washing-up x (Also exotic blue manakins!)

Dedicated to an astounding little mouse who appeared at the end of writing the poem.

An episode of almost 17 mins on the beautiful practice of intuitive painting and how it all unfolds... Inspired by a recent workshop - one of the many I've hosted on Zoom, and locally, for women.

This episode explores themes around being present with all our emotions, and also on kindness, meditation...and on how intuitive paintings evolve by themselves and can become such wonderful, gentle teachers and reminders too.

‘Do you look behind what’s visible? Do you go a step further?’

Anja Kersten is an inspiring writer, performer and filmmaker with a huge amount of creative offerings full of wonder, depth and intrigue for a magic world.

It was fantastic to have a conversation on topics ranging from sensitivity, imagination, curiosity, wonder, improvisation, courage, authenticity and more...

An episode of 8:15 mins, and a poem just after midnight, whispering to me to get out of bed, put on the light, find a pencil and start writing x (Audio voice a little coldy/fluey!)

This one wrote itself, too, beginning with words that emerged last Friday which inspired an intuitive painting - 'Leaping alive - into the green space'.

An episode of almost 8 mins, and a Monday morning poem written in a few quiet moments.

Beginning with the non-dominant hand sketches which have been a recent focus in the intuitive painting workshops, the poem continues with elements of spaciousness, stillness and awareness ... and the Loony-Tunes'  'Tasmanian Devil'! :) hmm... cartoons seem to be a recurring theme!

An episode of just over 5 mins, and the first in the Wednesday Warmers series inspired by reading Pablo Neruda's poem today 'Ode to My Socks'.

A beautiful poem celebrating the gift of a pair of hand-knitted socks.

There's extra poignancy in the warmth, love, comfort and kindness shown with the gift, and in the joy in receiving too, when considering Neruda's history of exile and writing in many turbulent times... and i...
