Mindfulness vs Heartfulness

By: The Posts Author | Posted on: 29 Jan 15

Mindfulness is the big buzz of the modern world. But is it missing a core piece? I’ve had this argument in a few different ways over the years – meditation is clearly one of life’s key practices. Being able to come back to oneself, and feeling a sense of peace and depth at ones core is the source for everything else meaningful in a life well-lived. Obviously, if we can’t feel that connection to ourselves, all the external stuff in the world won’t make us happy – the material goods, even the connections with others won’t truly touch us, because

‘There is Love’

How many lies are contained in the three little words “I love you”? The biggest mistake is that it personalises love, it creates confusion around what love is. It makes love into a possession, of me, or you, or us. If we shifted to saying “there is love” – wouldn’t that make things much clearer?

I’ve done intense group work processes, and felt the healing and transformation that can come when you share intimate parts of myself with

(A Swedish) Encounter with Gregory Bateson

by Erik Graffman Relational psychologist, educator, writer and translator of Gregory Bateson. In Sweden & France. (A Swedish) Encounter with Gregory Bateson There is a mystery about Gregory Bateson, about his reputation. Though almost a quarter of a century has passed since he died, he is still a hidden entity. That is, without an echo in public debate, unknown to most – except among psychotherapists and educators with an interest in systems theory; among certain anthropologists and some odd researchers within biology, politics or economy and artificial intelligence. But look up his name on the Web, with any better search
