Welcome to this powerful guided meditation for transcendence, inspired by the timeless wisdom of Stoic philosophy:

"Happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of one principle: Some things are within our control, and some things are not." — Epictetus

This meditation is designed to help you release stress, let go of control, and focus only on what is truly within your power. So much of our suffering comes from fighting reality, clinging to expectations, and resisting change. But when we surrender what we cannot control and anchor ourselves in the present moment, we discover true peace, resilience, and inner strength.

Using sound as an anchor, we gently shift awareness beyond thoughts, beyond striving, beyond the mind’s need to control, and into a space of deep clarity and presence.

 

✨ What You’ll Experience in This Meditation:

✔ Wisdom Reflection: Explore Stoic teachings on control, surrender, and inner peace.

✔ Letting Go Practice: Release tension, worries, and attachment to things beyond your control.

✔ Sound as Your Anchor: A steady and neutral guide to help you transcend distractions and stay present.

✔ Transcendence Practice: Move beyond overthinking and reconnect with your true, peaceful self.

 

🌟 Why This Meditation is Important:

Many of us try to control the uncontrollable, which leads to stress, anxiety, and frustration. By practicing transcendence, we learn to shift our focus inward—to what is within our power—and let go of everything else.

This meditation will help you:

✅ Detach from overthinking and mental resistance

✅ Find stillness and clarity in the present moment

✅ Cultivate resilience, acceptance, and emotional freedom

By practicing transcendence meditation, you strengthen your ability to stay grounded in the face of life’s uncertainties, allowing you to move through the world with greater ease, wisdom, and confidence.

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
