Silence Café

A little space to step out of the noise and into stillness.

Silence Café is a space to pause. A chance to put down, for a little while, the doing, thinking, planning and responding that fills so much of our lives, and simply be.

We'll begin with a short period of settling in, landing softly into the space, followed by gentle breath awareness before moving into a Heart Words meditation. You don't need to know how to meditate. You don't need to empty your mind or achieve anything. You can simply arrive as you are.

Sit upright on a chair, stool or cushion, or find a comfortable position that works for your body. Close your eyes if that feels right, or leave them gently open.

During the meditation, we create and play with Heart Words that help us to easily refocus our attention when it drifts. Rather than analysing the word or our thoughts or trying to create a particular experience, we allow whatever is happening to happen and stay present to what unfolds.

There may be stillness. There may be thoughts, sensations, emotions, memories or absolutely nothing much at all. There is nowhere you need to get to. Just pausing long enough to take a little time to listen, to yourself, to the silence underneath the noise.

Come as you are.

No experience necessary. No particular state required. Just bring yourself, find a place to settle, and allow the rest to unfold.

Please listen to your own body and experience throughout the practice. Meditation is offered as a wellbeing practice and is not a substitute for medical or psychological advice. If meditation feels uncomfortable or unsuitable for you, you are always free to pause or stop.
