In The Embrace

10/02/202117/02/2021 ~ louiseannknight ~ Leave a comment

As a meditation sometimes, I draw a tiny circle with my index finger, in the palm of my other hand. The slight ticklish sensation is a distraction for sometime, against a surge of emotional overwhelm or pain. I love mixing the deeply reflective intention with a burst of action. We can be both things. I … Continue reading In The Embrace

First Steps

In recent weeks, the sentiment behind Buckminster Fuller's quote on reality, has lingered in my mind. How can I create a new model of reality, in order to make the old model obsolete? There are ways the pandemic impacted daily life, that didn't affect me, because I make different choices to many. Some of them … Continue reading First Steps

Oh Marcus…

Emporer Marcus Aurelius, of Rome. Writer and Stoic. The words he wrote two thousand years ago, have a wonderful way of opening doorways and sending refreshing breezes through places in my wanderings, that I love to venture. Below are 3 phrases from Meditations, that I've found myself returning to often, of late... "Keep looking straight … Continue reading Oh Marcus…

We must crack open to see our joy. For humans, it is not enough to feel it. We bend until we break ourselves, so that we may then believe what we are, what we forgot. Gratitude is the most direct path to joy. It expands the interactions of the day. We feel it in the … Continue reading Begin with Joy

Namesake has held meaning for me, for a long time. I've been observing my reactions to it in meditations. It's another way to expand awareness and acceptance. Originally Ancient Hebrew, later European; the meaning of Louise appears in two forms: 'renowned warrior / battle maiden'. As inspiration, it is a teacher of courage and resilience. … Continue reading Choose Collaboration

Beauty in Breathing

20/10/201905/03/2021 ~ louiseannknight ~ 1 Comment

Sunday is a great opportunity to sit for longer, meditating. There's less going on, people are occupied with their own hobbies and pursuits. I've been doing a breathing practise centred on repeating the same few phrases on rotation. What I love about this, is the expansiveness it produces mentally and at the same time, the … Continue reading Beauty in Breathing

Peace Runs Beneath

31/08/201916/02/2021 ~ louiseannknight ~ Leave a comment

Observing thoughts and feelings in meditation and when journalling, invites calm. This is a practise I've found very helpful. Experiencing things as transitory, rather than clutching onto them, has made a big impact. There is still stress - it's our early warning system - thought it's alleviated anxiety. There's a sense of peace running beneath. … Continue reading Peace Runs Beneath
