“Explanations make many things clear, but love is only clear in silence” Rumi.
Meditation is just a river in which we swim. We all have different ways of diving in, but it is the same river that carries us. Where the river carries us only the river knows. Trusting the benevolence of its waters and releasing our hold on the riverbank, is key to establishing a fluent practice. Our minds can tell us that meditation is an arduous ladder to climb, but since the river is always present, we learn in time to savour its feeling and our hearts become engaged. We start to look forward to this precious time spent with the unfolding of the pearl of our presence.
There is no better place to explore this than in good company, where we can share the insights and challenges of the riches we all embody. The intention is for these sessions to help those starting out in meditation and for those of us who want to deepen an existing practice. There will be practical guidance on learning how to follow our individual meditation journeys.
