Here we are again, back at the time of year where the natural world begins to invite us to slow down, take stock, rest and refresh. The autumn equinox is one of two astronomical points in the year when we find our days have equal hours of daylight and darkness, the other being at springtime. At Earth Heart, we like to see the autumn equinox as an opportunity for a moment of stillness and reflection, a time to realign and find a similar balance in ourselves before stepping into all the winter season might bring. This is a new 30 minute meditative practice, which we hope you will be able to find time to enjoy in your own way. The video is fully guided but your meditative experience will always be personal and unique! If you find the practice supportive or beneficial, please consider supporting Earth Heart Holistic by making a donation at Buy me a Coffee. Thank you! Xx

For me, meditation is always an experiment. Never the same, not always predictable. It's about building awareness of what is actually happening in my experience, in a world that most of the rest of my time encourages me to be distracted from it. I hope you feel able to find around 25 minutes to join me on an experimental journey into balance and equanimity!

We were very excited to offer our latest adventure in sound to the Forever Cacao Club community at the March Cacao Club last Friday! Titled The Birth of Tara, it weaves together the chants of Avalokiteshvara and Green Tara with Raga Bhimpalasi in Alap. Cacao Club is the monthly event held by Forever Cacao, a small, artisan chocolate company who have a direct and highly responsible trade relationship with the Ashaninka community in Peru who in turn harvest, ferment and dry the wild grown, organic cacao that is then shipped to a small Welsh village (not very far from us at all), for alchemising into pure, ceremonial grade cacao and award winning chocolate bars. Annabeth discovered Cacao Club at the end of 2019 and says "it was the first time I'd found a regular place to go sober dancing since I stopped drinking every weekend after losing one of my best mates to alcoholism. The (highly unpretentious) ritual evening begins with a meditative cup of freshly prepared cacao before launching into a few hours of dancing courtesy of the accomplished resident DJ Pablo (who also just so happens to make the cacao), and is rounded up beautifully by a variety of practitioners offering healing sound baths to integrate the evening. Finding Cacao Club was an unrestrained delight and it's become a highlight of my month ever since." So, it was an honour and a privilege for us to bring our latest journey to the event and we hope to do it again some time! For now, you can immerse yourself in the gentle melodic waves of our final practice before the night here (and listen out for Lacey the cat purring her approval at the end)!
