LOVING KINDNESS PRACTICE - 1

By now I think we probably need some loving kindness practice - mostly towards ourselves for the random outbursts at our family, eating the whole packet of pineapple lumps and locking ourselves in the bathroom with a bottle of wine….(this is a quote from someone who shall not be named who did this - yes she did!)

OPENING TO GRATITUDE with Peter Fernando

Sometimes it is hard to be grateful for what we have, especially when we can’t have the things we want - like seeing our loved ones or friends or even going into the forest for some forest-bathing and R and R. In every circumstance however, there is something to be grateful for and the more we can tap into the resonance of gratitude the more easeful life becomes. Tune into this beautiful meditation from Peter Fernando to help you tune into your own sense of gratitude in yourself.

Loving Kindness PRACTICE - 2

Loving Kindness Practice is so much what we need right now - we are facing a world of uncertainty and the practice of loving - even when things aren’t going to plan is an amazing way to stay calm, centered and with a feeling of inner resiliency. Join the wonderous Peter Fernando for this adventure into loving kindness.
