Is it the frequency of the birdsong rolling through the woodland, and the creaking of the oak? Is it the draining of the rainfall through the leaf mould, and the gurgling of the brook? Is it the wind whistling through the barbed-wire-briars at the field edge, and the scudding of the silvered cloud…
Are We Our Body? Our body enables the sensing of this embodied experience through its six sense doors. Five senses to experience the happenings of the outside world, and a sixth sense to experience the inner workings of the mind. Are we these senses? Are we this body? Or is this body and its senses…
I recently had the opportunity to meditate in the Asura Cave near Kathmandu, Nepal. This is the cave in which Guru Rinpoche attained ultimate enlightenment. It had been an ambition of mine to meditate here and I was so grateful for this ambition to materialise. I’ve posted pictures into the gallery, please do take a…
Meditate Peace is itself a force for more peace in our world and it does this in multiple ways. One way of course is by working through the practice of meditating peace – i.e. feeling the vibration of peace within oneself and sharing that feeling with all beings and the universe by allowing that vibration…
Aren’t most of us to a greater or lesser extent nowadays doing little more than living as consumers? Increasingly simply consuming what’s served up within the matrix of our mainstream projected reality and adopted narratives? A consumption shaped by the systems that mould our own projections: The media system; The education system; The political system;…
Meditation takes effort. Practice needs to be started. Attention needs to be focussed and then maintained persistently, repeatedly. But what kind of effort? When I ask that question, I’m really asking what kind of energy should fuel the intention directing this effort? Do we need to force our focus of attention? It can feel like…
I rose early on the morning of the 21st June – summer solstice – and made my way to a corner of a field in Essex, 10 mins on foot from home. There, in the pre-dawn solstice light, from around 4:15am I waited patiently for the sun to show itself. It was a beautiful, warm,…
An invitation to join me in London on Saturday 21st June from 12 noon This website launched on the solstice, 21st June 2024. So, to mark the one-year anniversary of Meditate Peace, I will be meditating peace for three one hour blocks from 12 noon at the London Peace Pagoda in Battersea Park, London. If…
Peace is magnetic. Peace is a magnetic energy that attracts all that is in alignment with itself. It repulses all that is not in alignment with itself. I love the image of peace as a powerful magnet located at the very centre of every peaceful intention we place behind a thought, a word or a…
In recent blog posts, I’ve been sharing the experience of my journey over the past year towards peace, from peace on the outside to peace on the inside, and the relationship between the two. I’ve been talking about how I discovered how much warring I’ve been doing myself, where I become the first of its…
Let your intention behind every thought, word, action or reaction be Peace. Peace is the foundation of true joy. We’re here to be happy! Following on with this theme, whether we are consciously aware of this or not, every thought and every action that’s born out of, or motivated by, war energy sows seeds of…
Exploring Meditate Peace turned into a very deep inner journey for me this year. An unexpected inner journey towards peace. A profound meeting with where war crowds out peace on the inside – the cause of so much suffering. When I started this journey my motivation was certainly peace. I was motivated by a strong…
Having shared my inner-standing about the ultimate source-nature of peace in my last blog post, I now feel the urge to share further about the importance of peace being embodied in us and in all beings! There is so much emphasis placed upon the non-physical dimensions of this existence by a multitude of philosophies, traditions,…
I thought I’d share my personal inner-standing about the concept of Peace. Why would I want to do that I hear you ask, everyone knows what Peace is. And yes, of course, that’s true, but I beg your indulgence … So, what’s peace? Is it absence of noise, i.e. quiet? Is it a state of…
I seem to have naturally and spontaneously taken to meditating peace constantly. Well, not constantly every actual moment of existence, but I have noticed that I’ve begun to naturally fall into a Meditate Peace process at many multiple times each day. I’ve been falling into the practice whilst doing the normal daily things. It might be…
Whilst holidaying in Spain, we decided to visit the interesting village of Alhama de Granada and base ourselves in a hotel adjacent to a natural thermal mineral spring: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhama_de_Granada. These ancient springs attracted us to this location. As Wikipedia records: “Magnificent horse shoe arcs were built over the remains of Roman construction and are covered…
A random visit to Ickleton … This morning, I found myself in Saffron Walden. Well, to be honest, I knew yesterday I would be coming to Saffron Walden today, so I prepared for a visit to Ickleton by packing a Meditate Peace T-Shirt and my dowsing rods. I’d recently been reading about the famous Michael…
First public Meditate Peace sitting! So, now that I’ve completed my first public Meditate Peace sitting, I’d like to share that experience. I was blessed with a fine sunny English summer’s day. One of those rare, high summer English days of blissful sunshine, slight whispering breeze, and the calm peaceful ease that people seem to…
Welcome to Meditate Peace! … and to my first ever blog post!! I thought I’d begin this blog section with a few words about what Meditate Peace means to me. So, let me start by being a little obvious by pointing out that everything, EVERYTHING, is energy. Even matter is denser energy. Energy flows and…
