Meditation in the Middle

Feel the body | Listen to the Heart | Cultivate the Mind

Welcome!

I’m glad you have arrived. Life is complicated and the mind can get messy and caught up. Mindfulness is about pausing, breathing, noticing, releasing tensions, letting go reactivity and choosing to act from goodness, the wisdom of the heart. You can do it anywhere, anytime. It soon becomes a trusted partner. My wish is to share practices of cultiviating a kind, caring and courageous heart, come what may, so that the light of well-being may shine boundless. I welcome you to explore with me.

Live life moment to moment with Awareness

deborah darrin

I was born a dreamer. Not a dreamer of being the best of this or that or to have the most or do the most, but a dreamer in the realm of curiosity and inquiry about what this ephemeral life is about. From childhood conditionings to adolescent explorations and through young adult reckonings,  deconditionings, and reconditionings, I found that the world between the worlds has held the truest whispers of light, possibilities, and paths forward, calling me to “come see”. I found the space is spansive enough to hold all the exuberance of joy, laughter and love. It is spansive enough to hold all the whispers and cries of sadness, and pain and being lost in the messiness and confusion of life.

 Somewhere there I felt a sense of safety and respite even when I did not have answers. I am grateful that spiritual practice was a part of my young upbringing. I had a launching pad! Prayer was one thing. And then being out in nature and observing the intricate beauty of the tiniest of creatures to sensing the boundlessness of the spacious sky brought me to the portal of experiencing AWE. It brought me to sensing the something more; a world between worlds, a world amongst worlds. Here is where a sense of stillness, curiosities, contemplations, and wonderment thrived, which continually grew my awareness. Here is where I could sit in silence and just be, where there was no sense of time, just awareness of phenomena arising, being and passing.

We are children of the earth. We rely on the earth,
And the earth relies on us. Whether the earth is beautiful,
Fresh, and green, or arid and parched, depends
On our way of walking.
Please touch the earth in mindfulness,
With joy and concentration.
The earth will heal you and you will heal the earth.
