sneak peek: Spring ‘Heartfulness’ Box.
Our theme for Spring is ‘Heartfulness’.
Heartfulness [heart-ful-ness]. The state, act, or quality of being heartful; sincerity or warmth of feeling or expression.
In our Meditation practice this Spring, we shall bring a gentle focus to cultivating an open inner heart with a focus on kindness and forgiveness. These virtues align with the concept of Heartfulness, which encompasses sincerity, warmth of feeling or expression, patience, joy, tenderness, compassion, and love.
Loving-kindness Meditation will be one of our key practices … a beautiful and powerful meditation for cultivating the qualities of Heartfulness such as:
❤️ Love, Kindness, Compassion, Gratitude, Forgiveness, Empathy, Generosity

FEATURE BOOK for Spring is LovingKindness by Sharon Salzberg. A true classic. A powerful and inspiring guide to loving ourselves more deeply and finding a greater sense of connection with others. Sharon Salzberg is a leading spiritual teacher and longtime meditation practitioner who shows us how the Buddhist path of Lovingkindness (metta in Pali) can help us discover the RADIANT JOYFUL HEART within each of us. Drawing on Buddhist teachings, wisdom stories from various traditions, her own experiences, and guided meditation exercises - you will discover how the practice of lovingkindness illuminates a path to cultivating love, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity.
NEPALESE MEDITATION SHAWL is a wonderful gift of self-care and loving-kindness to yourself, and the perfect addition to your meditation practice. Meditation Shawls have been used for thousands of years to ensure the body stays warm, comfortable, and focused during meditation. And there is something very special about wrapping a shawl across your shoulders for practice, a sense of cocooning and something ‘having your back’. It is believed (and I firmly know this) that when you wear a shawl for meditation .. it accumulated the qualities and energy of your practice. From www.surya.com.au
