From the Awakening Within Library
Some reflections reveal something new each time we return to them. This week I am revisiting an earlier piece from the Awakening Within library about Journaling.

Journaling is often presented as something we should do. Another habit to build. Another task to complete. What if it could be something quieter than that?

Not a place to find answers or fix ourselves, simply a space to notice what is already present.

This reflection explores a gentle approach to journaling, one that welcomes words, silence, sketches, observations, and whatever naturally wants to emerge.

This week's reflection explores a piece of music that recently accompanied our sound journey during Meditation Beyond Stillness.

Some songs seem to offer more than melody. They create a space to pause, listen, and reconnect with something deeper within ourselves.

Calling You Home by Samart invites us to consider what "home" really means. Is it a place, a memory, a feeling, or perhaps a return to presence itself?

This week, I invite you to listen with awareness and notice what the song awakens within you.

"My mind is too busy to meditate" is one of the most common things people tell me when approaching the subject of meditation.

Perhaps you struggle to sit still, your mind feels busy or you have tried meditation before and felt you were doing it wrong. What if none of that was a problem?

Meditation Beyond Stillness explores meditation through breath, awareness, guided practice, sound, silence, and gentle movement. The focus is not on emptying the mind. It is on cultivating attention.

Whether you are completely new to meditation or have been practising for years, these classes offer a grounded space to deepen your relationship with attention, presence, and inner awareness.

Casa de Alegría, Monte Pedreguer
Mondays at 19:00 – 20:00
Small group (maximum 6 participants)
€15 per class

Summer does not always unfold as we imagine.

Plans change. Priorities shift. Life asks something different of us.

As the season begins to turn, I have been reflecting on what emerged when expectations were released and there was space to simply meet life as it was.

"I can't meditate."

You think meditation is not for you because you cannot sit still, stop thinking, or quiet your mind?

You are not alone.

Meditation Beyond Stillness
Meditation is not about forcing the mind into silence, nor is it about being able to sit still for an hour. It is about learning how to pay attention.

In these small-group sessions we explore meditation through breath awareness, sound, gentle movement, guided practices and silence.

Whether you are completely new to meditation or have been practising for years, these classes offer a grounded space to deepen your relationship with attention, presence, and inner awareness.

As summer draws to a close and new routines begin to emerge, classes begin again on Monday 31 August.

Casa de Alegría, Monte Pedreguer
Mondays at 19:00 – 20:00
Small group (maximum 6 participants)
€15 per class

A different way into meditation. One that meets you exactly where you are.

Sitting in a café recently called Wake Cup, I found myself reflecting on the name.

Wake up to the world.

Wake up to yourself.

Wake up to the choices you are making each day.

Your life is not created in a single moment. It is shaped by the decisions you make, the paths you follow, and the things you repeatedly say yes and no to.

Your life is the sum of your choices.

So what are you choosing today?

Life is a little like a menu.

Every day presents us with choices.

Some choices are obvious. Others pass by almost unnoticed.

Do we react or respond? Do we rush or slow down? Do we stay where we are comfortable or move towards something new?

The quality of our lives is often shaped less by the big decisions and more by the small choices we make each day.

One choice may seem insignificant, that choice repeated over time, our choices become our direction.

And eventually, our direction becomes our life.

Connection often begins with a simple choice.

Recently in a café, I noticed a lady sitting with a black and white Shih Tzu on her lap, remarkably similar to my own.

I could have stayed in my own space, instead I walked over and said hello.

What followed was a warm conversation between two strangers who, only moments before, knew nothing about each other.

It reminded me how many opportunities for connection pass us by each day. Not because they are unavailable, because we do not choose them.

A smile. A conversation. A shared moment.

Sometimes the smallest act of openness can transform an ordinary day into something meaningful.

The world is full of strangers.

Perhaps they are simply friends we have not engaged with yet.

In a world that can feel increasingly disconnected, perhaps connection is not something we find.

Perhaps it is something we choose.

With presence.

Sometimes our path can look dark, gloomy, or blocked.

Walk forward anyway.

We cannot always see what lies beyond the next bend until we are willing to take the next step. Often, what seemed dark and scary becomes the beginning of something new.

Have courage to see what is on the other side. You may discover that the light was waiting for you all along.

This is Lady

She came to us a little over two months ago after retiring from breeding.

Since then, she has been discovering what many dogs take for granted, toys, gentle walks, sofa cuddles, and the security of belonging. Witnessing this has been a joy.

She has settled into our family with remarkable grace, and in doing so has quietly changed Louie's world too in ways we could not have anticipated.

They are still writing their story together, and us with them, it already feels as though we were all meant to find each other.

There is much more of her story to share one day. For now, we simply wanted to say… welcome to your new home, Lady.
