“Do or do not there is no try”. Yoda
Yoda god bless that small green yogi, he was one wise being. George Lucas actually learned to meditate from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who sounds a lot like Yoda, funny that, some transcendent wisdom… Anyway, Yoda hated the word try. Said it doesn’t exist. You either do or you don’t. Think about it for a […]
Males Beware – The Black Dog Bites
It’s so good to see a shift in the male psyche to be more open, more attuned to dropping the guard, more open to love and all that good stuff. Right? We’ve done the hardened male, the sensitive male and all that, it’s time to be both. Sensitive and tough. Authentic, open, strong, vulnerable and […]
How Meditation helps to increase our Baseline Happiness

Meditation is not a magic bullet
Let’s face it, for a lot of us, we’re driven to practices such as meditation in search for something that seems to be missing, fix something we feel is wrong with us, a challenge that we want to correct or areas requiring improvement. Now if that is not you and you are just “curios” about […]
Ahh I am having a busy meditation…
So I tried meditation and I found that my mind was way too busy. Aha, yep we’ve all been there, in fact, I was on a recent call with a mew meditator recently who said: Sometimes my meditation feels more like my shopping and to do lists… Now before we dig into that, here are a […]
The Cold Lonely Wave Of Depression
As surfers on the east coast of Aus we can find ourselves mid summer wearing steamers, days where the sand could fry and egg, yet thanks to howling northerlies the ocean which is normally a balmy 26 – 28 degrees has been swapped with chilling cold waters (at least for us used to above mentioned […]
