As Introverts, we are highly critical of ourselves and sometimes scare ourselves out of action. We are so used to our critical habitual thoughts and feelings that keep us stuck in inaction that we believe them automatically and give them undeserving power.The way to freedom to act in the face of these thoughts is awareness. We can’t take a powerful action until we are aware of what has stopped us at the first place. This meditation will help you discover what are the thoughts and feelings that stop you, to acknowledge them and then transcend them. Do not be fooled by the simplicity of the meditation. It is one thought at the time that makes up the story of feeling stopped and unable to act. Awareness will enable you to familiarise yourself with those thoughts, one thought at the time. Be like that little six year-old who was screaming for his mum because he was petrified of the man standing behind the door and the boy could not move, until his mother shone the light at the door and the boy discovered the scary man was just old clothes hanging. The thoughts that stop you from the action are like thoseFree to Act – by Celina Tonkin

My existence is defined by transformation and magic. But not magic that’s really about trickery or sleight of hand. Magic that underlies the true nature of our being. Magic where we remember we’re made from star dust. Magic where we create a new life by changing our thoughts. We need to feel connected to something deeper, to each other, to the earth, to the sea, to all that is. We feel it in meditation but so often we forget that feeling when we’re in our everyday life. Reality. We yearn for the altered state. Some people say that we’re always in an altered state and meditation is the time we’re really not altered but on point. Wisdom says that we come into this human realm to combine heaven and earth and yet once we’re down here, we come down with forgetting. We love sunrises and sunsets and glorious natural realms but we forget that we’re part of it, or it’s part of us. Extraordinary isn’t a word we often use about ourselves. We’re all-powerful beings who forget how to access the operating manual. Meditation reminds us that the operating manual is within us just waiting to break free.

Diving Into Body: Listening to my Body Boost Bonus Meditation as I write this post, I am amazed again at how quickly bringing focus to my body can make me feel better. My body feels warm and grounded and stable and gentle – it’s a lovely antidote to the scattered, frenetic and frantic feeling of my mental energy. How beautiful just to dive into the depths of body from wherever I am, like jumping into a body of water that is exactly the right temperature to soothe and refresh. Just breathing and smiling is a really quick way of returning to my body.  Just to feel myself breathing can pull me down out of the clouds and help me come back to earth. Here, in my body, in the present moment, there is a power that helps me to respond to the truth of what is really happening NOW. This can help me to feel calmer, slower, more in control. And this can help me to manage my energy more easily so I can feel and function better. As someone who has a tendency to disappear into over-thinking and worrying, I love being reminded and guided back into my bodyBody Boost – by Fliss Wheeler
