When we don’t understand impermanence, we suffer. We suffer because we hold onto things and try and make them so that we can feel safer. 

Self-grasping causes us all sorts of problems. We need to see that, ultimately, we can be loving in the world through caring for other people. 

I watched the Academy Awards. I was hoping to delight in honouring only the 3rd female director to win an Oscar. Instead, it was a lesson in toxic masculinity. 

You may not be aware of how much progress you can make on your own. A daily reflection is a powerful tool to understand what is happening in your day and celebrate it. 

We had a little bit of a traumatic experience here on the property on which I live. It was incredibly fortunate that I had learnt a completely unexpected way to help with it.

In today’s podcast, I am interviewed by Anders Bolling. I thought you might enjoy listening to his interview with me, and then Scamp makes a naughty appearance!

Ash Barty retired from tennis a few days ago as the number one female player in the world. She understands where her happiness comes from.

In today’s podcast, I answer a question of how it is possible to be in the goodness of our lives when so much suffering is happening in the world. I feel passionate about this, so I hope this is helpful. 

One of my team members has started her meditation practise at the beginning of the day rather than in the afternoon. Let me tell you why a morning practice is so powerful. 

A research article came out this week from the University of Essex discussing their findings around who are the most boring people. There are a couple of pieces of information from that research that you might want to be aware of. 

I spoke with one of my students this week about her husband, who was making her angry. In the end, the anger was more about herself than about him. 

It can be easy to enjoy listening to what I teach. But the way that you change is by using it as a medicine. I take the medicine of what I teach you on a daily basis. 

How do we know when it is our wise voice or our not so wise voice helping us make decisions? There is a way to know, and in today’s podcast, I discuss the difference. 

It can be hard for us to see another person’s point of view. It might challenge something inside of us. 

Someone wrote to me about their fear of what is happening in the world right now. We looked at what is underlying it. 

I am answering a question from someone who showed her writing to a friend and was criticised. It can be painful to offer the precious parts of ourselves if they are not received well. How can we open up and take care of ourselves?

I have some questions today that you might want to ask yourself. In these challenging times, we can find lightness and increasing happiness if we can answer them. 

Someone whose work I like posted an article at the weekend about a study that has been done about who the happiest people are. It got me a little annoyed. 

Today I answer a question about how meditation help us to become a better person.

Even if we don't know them personally when someone suffers, how can we help them? Today I answered a question from one of my students about her sick friend. You can use what I suggest for anyone.

I need your help with a new course on overwhelm, stress and anxiety. I will teach it live for a one and only time. Here’s your chance to be a part of that class. 

I want to explain how to become the ocean in your meditation practice. You might find this a powerful way to work with your thoughts and emotions as they arise in your mind. 

I was sent a beautiful song the other day called Glorious. It made me consider how glorious our lives actually are and that seeing the glorious is even more vital in these times of darkness.
