Columbus & The Humble Chile - A Meditation
2010-01-24 05:36:00 Originally posted on Chileifre.com 10/5/2007 The chile, it seems to me, is one of the few foods that has its own god. — Diana Kennedy See image notes below Cooking is one of my great pleasures. I enjoy nothing more than creating food that enlivens the palate, invokes strength of flavor, and speaks of refined textures and seductive and sensuous aromas. Spices, herbs and aromatics are to me like pigments to a painter - to be mixed in an endless variety of alchemical compounds, elixirs, and infusions. But spices, herbs and aromatics go beyond the pleasures of the palate. Historically, in early trade, spices often took the place of currency, they have played important roles in the healing arts, adding properties to medicines, bringing scent to perfume and used to enhance our seductive qualites. The flavors brought by these botanicals also become synonymous with location - certain foods evoke imme...

St Jerome and Meditation
2009-09-02 22:29:00 Caravaggio, ( Michelangelo Merisi ) (b. 1571, Caravaggio, d. 1610, Porto Ercole)St Jerome in Meditation1605-06Oil on canvas, 118 x 81 cmMuseum of the Monastery of Santa Maria, Monserrat (Museo del Monasterio de Santa Maria). "In reality, to dialogue with God, with his Word, is in a certain sense a presence of Heaven, a presence of God. To draw near to the biblical texts, above all the New Testament, is essential for the believer, because "ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ". ... Truly "in love" with the Word of God, he [St Jerome] asked himself: "How could one live without the knowledge of Scripture, through which one learns to know Christ himself, who is the life of believers?" (Ep. 30, 7). The Bible, an instrument "by which God speaks every day to the faithful" (Ep. 133, 13), thus becomes a stimulus and source of Christian life for all situations and for each person. To read Scripture is to converse with God: "If you pray", he writes to a young Roman noblewoma...

UK Easter 2009 Togathering ? FISU Meditation
2009-04-10 18:21:00 The Easter Togathering in Norwich was amazing. Despite the numbers, everyone said how intimate the atmosphere felt and had a definite deep tranquillity. There were some amazing Satsangs covering subjects from the Mind to the examination of certain religious truth and prophets. Karma was also a topic with the introduction of the concept of ?providence?, a similar concept to eastern Karma but which originated in the Hebrew Bible. Many other philosophical subjects were embraced, the majority of which centred on spiritual unfoldment, meditation and the raising of our personal spiritual consciousness.

Worshipping onscreen: a megachurch meditation
2009-02-15 07:45:00 Sorry for the long silence – we’ve been in transit to Sydney all week, and I haven’t had much internet access. This morning, out of curiosity, I went along to a service at a famous Sydney megachurch. It was quite an experience. They had it all: the hustle and bustle of important people; the man with a torch and walkie-talkie who met us at the door and briskly ushered us to our seats; the dimly lit auditorium with its brightly coloured stage; the use of words like “vision” and “awesome”; the advertising segments (last week’s sermon was available on DVD for only $14.95); the slick businessmen with their Rolexes and their glamorous wives; the exuberant music performed by handsome musicians and voluptuous singers (I confessed to my wife that I had committed adultery in my heart all the way through “All I Need Is You”); the give-your-life-to-Jesus altar call; and throughout all this, the ubiquity of what Peter Berger has called “the Protestant smile.” There were n...

Stillness - Meditation and Anxiety
2009-01-21 22:42:00 I have blogged before about meditation and its beneficial effects on the treatment and control of anxiety. In these posts I have mainly concentrated on Mindfulness Meditation, which is very powerful and still the single thing I would recommend to all anxiety sufferers. Recently I came across "Stillness Meditation" which looks very interesting. There is a book, which is sadly out of print, called "In Stillness Conquer Fear". It is about a woman's (the author) struggle to overcome agoraphobia and her eventual release (cure!) through a disciplined meditation practice. Deep Zen Meditation - Click Here This meditation practice, to which I believe the author of the aforementioned book, Pauline Mckinnon, gave the name "Stillness Meditation", is very simple. Although I should say that despite the fact that it is simple you still, paradoxically, need to practice regularly in order to achieve stillness. Like all things, you improve with practice. So...

I quote from the book:"Rather than focusing on the objects in front of you, keep your eyes aimed at infinity; this causes any thing in your line of vision to fall out of focus and appear as blur, as if everything were intermeshed with everything else.You can also open and close your eyes rapidly, like a shutter in a camera.

Free Transcendental Meditation
2008-05-12 05:30:00 When I started seeking meditation and joined a yoga and meditation class, my teacher encouraged me to read books on meditation. It is in one of the books by Deepak Chopra I learned about transcendental meditation. Reading more about meditation, I came to know that this is most popular method of meditations. I naturally wanted to practice this. When I met the qualified and official teacher of this meditation, I came to know that I need to pay for learning it. Not having money I could not learn transcendental at that time but I continued my interest in it and started reading more about it. To my surprise, there is no book which actually teaches the steps of that kind of meditation. What I was looking for was to learn free transcendental meditation and there was no free course anywhere, If at all I wanted to learn then I had to pay thousands of dollars.I continued to search for a way to learn the transcendental meditation freely as I did not like the teacher whom I met years bac...
