The Perfect Way to Start the Year

21 Days Online Meditation Course

January 3-24, 2027

Meditation is the royal path to Oneness.

Mindfulness is just the first step and at the very least we can then live not only a more conscious life but also a less stressful one. But if we persist with meditation, deeper levels of consciousness and reality are revealed – the mystery of life grows, a sense of wonder grows, and a sense of new potential emerges.

Most important, you will not be meditating alone, this is a journey we take together.

We received so much feedback from the series in January about the importance of the group, sending and receiving messages every day in order to keep the flame alive.

Resistance-Acceptance-Gratitude.

We will follow this developmental thread through the week.

Each of these phases has its place and each generates a new capacity which is applicable in all areas of life, not just on the meditation cushion.

Resistance

Resistance is part of the rub of life and can only be really understood in contrast to flow. Some would say that life came into being through this play between flow and resistance. In the course of our meditation, we all come across resistances of many kinds, most of which are reflected in our everyday lives. You will be invited to look deeply at your various forms of resistance and develop a more constructive relationship towards them.

Acceptance

It’s easy to accept things when we are in flow, but much harder when we are in resistance. A state of radical acceptance (which has nothing to do with inaction) is the bedrock of meditation and indeed a contented life. During the meditations, you are practicing one of the most important life skills we can have. The goal is conscious contentment. That doesn’t mean we are always happy and smiley, it means we can hold whatever comes our way in the rub of life.

Gratitude

Gratitude is the flowering of the acceptance plant and signifies spiritual maturity.

Gratitude contains the seeds of joy that can grow out of our meditation practice.

I have found the month’s meditation very valuable and enjoyable. It has enriched and strengthened my practice tremendously. your approach achieves really helps me with sitting still for meaning and experience to emerge.

I am grateful for this month together. It opened me and gave me a sense of basic rest and faith. Faith also in myself. Thank you so much!

I really enjoyed starting the days like this together, I could bring the taste of the meditation and our energyfield in my day. Thank you James for bringing me closer to the goddess, by giving attention and words I could often feel her touch this month.
