A meditation approaching Easter
56:55|I know it's a few weeks away yet, but there was always two things that defeated me in the Christian tradition. One is the empty tomb. And the other is the heartbroken cry of Jesus as he died. One concerns a belief that defies science. The other is a cry of despair that defies faith. How do I reconcile them. How do they actually contain the real secret of faith.

Drowning in Anxiety or Floating in Bliss
01:00:54|A personal take on how I live with my anxiety, and how I use faith sometimes just to lie back as if I was floating on the ocean. This continues our reflections on Buddhist ideas surrounding the 37 Practises of Bodhisattvas.I find the Buddhist idea of detachment a huge help in keeping the mind calm. So I hope you enjoy this sideways approach to the topic of detachment. And happy Saint Patricks Weekend.All Beings are my Mother
54:44|This is an extraordinary technique in Tibetan Buddhism for opening the heart to the eternity of love, the ever enduring presence of love and the way in which even enemies are good teachers. It's also beautifully aligned with the idea of Christs' bodily resurrection. Both open the heart way beyond what is possible to think about in mental pictures and they bring us into the vast and infinite dimension of the present moment.Losar - Tibetan New Year
01:04:38|Pure joy to be in Jampa Ling yesterday for a little ritual/puja to invoke blessings and positive energy for the coming year.

01:02:35|I'm reflecting here on the opening phrases of the 37 practices of the Bodhisattvas. But it's just for a look in the window. Enlightenment is not only found by reading the books, but maybe just sweeping the floor. Depends on where your heart is.What's my love story for Valentines' Day
58:31|Well here is a round about kind of love story. Or rather the story of love. The story of a dream, a stove, a lost podcast and the 37 practises of the bodhisattvas. But this is only scratching the surface. I'll have more to say later.From a car in the Car Park.
48:37|I couldn't find anywhere else to do this. So it's recorded in the car which is why it sounds a little like it was recorded in a car. I wanted to explore if it was possible to meditate in the car. And it is. So I'm delighted to present the results. Have a great weekend.
