Happy Summer Solstice of 2019!


Wishing everyone a beautiful first day of summer!

What a blessing to have so much light from above that gives us life-energy!

Let's celebrate this day with a meditation on sun gazing. 



Sun Gazing Meditation

The solar rays are very strong and can damage the human eyes when looked directly into them during the hours when the sun is higher up in the sky. Please be safe and only practice the sun gazing meditation when the sun is closer to the horizon and is about to set, usually 15-30 minutes before sunset is ideal. 


Here are the instructions:

1. On a day with clear sky or enough visibility of the sun, find a location with a good view where you can sit comfortably and gaze at the setting sun.

2. Relax your body and fix your eyes to the setting sun.

3. Inhale the energy from the sun, visualize it entering into your body and filling it all up. 

4. Exhale any negative energies such as stress from your body.

5. Continue to breathe calmly, slowly and deeply.

6. When the sun has set completely, give blessings to the sun for giving us lots of prana/ qi/ life-force energy with its light. 


If the sunlight feels too strong for your eyes to keep its gaze upon during the meditation, slowly move your gaze away from the sun. The sky above or another direction in the distance can help to ease your eyes. 

The sunlight can help with your healing in many ways. The orange hue of the setting sun connects with your sacral chakra to balance its energy. 

It can also help to activate your pineal gland and 3rd eye. Some people may feel a tingly sensation on their forehead, or the widening and opening of their 3rd eye.

If you are knowledgeable of the sun gods/ deities of different cultures, you can give gratitude to them as well. 

You may notice more changes when you practice this for a few consecutive days if the weather allows. 


Embrace the warmth and beauties of the sunset.
Let the sunlight cleanse your energy. 


May all living beings on earth be blessed.


Much light and love

Dear friends, As the year is winding down to the end of our final month of December, we will hold a moment of meditation to reflect back on the events that have happened throughout this year. - What were the significant events/ happenings/ occurrences? What thoughts and feelings do you have from experiencing them? - How have you experienced the weather where you live? Were there any noticeable climate change? - What accomplishments have you made that you have set goals for? How have they made you feel? We will also focus our meditation on true happiness. As an abstract concept of emotion, it cannot be measured how much there is, it can only be felt by each person. There are many things on earth that idealize what happiness can be, by having certain things, circumstances, etc. but do they really bring happiness in the true sense? "We set up conditions for our happiness and become trapped. Happiness can come to us at any time if we are free. Why do we commit oursel

Greetings, In this week's meditation, we are just simply focusing on feeling love within us and around us. Visualize your own heart to shine brightly as you embrace your true self to be beautiful and perfect just the way it is. Visualize the ones that are close to your heart - family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, etc. that each and every one of them can also shine their hearts to feel more love. Visualize the space around you - your room, house, neighborhood, town, city, country, earth, and the cosmos, to shine in the light of love. What is love? ~ Spoken by Mooji “In the end these things matter most: How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?” –  Jack Kornfield Blessings, Sunday, October 27th @18:00 British Summer Time Check your local time:  Time Zone Converter Read more about our Sunday Weekly Global Meditation   here .

Dear friends, Our focus for the meditation this week will be on the Mercury Retrograde and how we communicate with one another, including your inner self. Mercury Retrograde began on October 31st and will continue until November 20th. For the remaining 10 days of the retrograde season in Scorpio, it's a time of reflecting inwardly in meditation to make a self-analysis on our communication skills through writing and speaking, our intellect and how we educate and inform ourselves with knowledge. Self-Analysis Questionaire 1. In what ways do you keep in contact with family and friends? How often is it and how do you feel about it? 2. How often do you use the internet and social media for connecting and communicating with people? Is it for work and business, or for leisure and fun? 3. Where do you gather your information on local/ worldly news? How do you know that it's the truth or not? 4. What would you improve in how you communicate with others? 5. How much
