Hello, I am

I Meditate

Meditation allows me to feel deeply connected with the world and helps me to stabilise my responses to external disturbances. The extremities of stress can be overwhelming, and at times, can make us want to shut off from the world and build up defences that don’t allow us to fully experience our environments. Meditating, controlled breath, or simply spending time with oneself, can allow for greater control over these human responses. For me it has, anyway. And perhaps it could do the same for you. Why not find out?

About me

My Story

I am Steven Thirkle.

I actively meditate every day and it helps me live my life.

I have engaged in meditation for many years now, adopting mindfulness as a young teen, and thereafter studying various techniques of meditation to find what really worked for me, something that I could really stick to, habitually.

I have attempted to refine my practice of meditation, to ensure that I was getting the most out of my time and effort. This, coupled with my status as a researcher, led me into the arms of HeartMath. I have used HeartMath techniques in my own practice for over a year now and with a few adaptations here and there, have found a practice that I really enjoy engaging with. As I have mentioned previously on this website, meditation helps me immensely, and in many ways. I hope to share and distribute what works for me, as a HeartMath coach, in the hope that it might help you too.

Why Meditate?

Resilience

Meditation is a simple technique. We all have the capacity to engage in it, there is no ability required. It is impossible to live a life free of stress and pain. However, meditation can grant us certain powers of resilience. A quote by Maya Angelou demonstrates this nicely: “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”

Modern everyday life is testing; there are setbacks, barriers, and often limited resources for us to deal with. We are incredibly vulnerable creatures, as much as we hate to admit it. This vulnerability, in our daily lives can often lead to an emotional penetration, disturbing us for hours, days, weeks, months, and even years! This is a lot of time and energy!

If you were able to adopt a practice which could potentially save you quite a lot of time and energy, would you adopt it?

“Go within every day and find the inner strength so that the world will not blow your candle out.”

“Within you is a stillness and a sanctuary that you can retreat to any time and be yourself.”

“Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.

“If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath.”

“Give the child a taste of meditation by creating a climate and atmosphere of love, acceptance and silence.”

“Meditation is like a gym in which you develop the powerful mental muscles of calm and insight.”

“The act of meditation is being spacious.”

“The more regularly and the more deeply you meditate, the sooner you will find yourself acting always from a center of peace.”

“The energy of the mind is the essence of life.”

“The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.”

“If you want to find God, hang out in the space between your thoughts.”

“If a person’s basic state of mind is serene and calm, then it is possible for this inner peace to overwhelm a painful physical experience.”

“Meditation is acceptance. It is the acceptance of life within us, without us and all around us. Acceptance of life is the beginning of human satisfaction. Transformation of life is the culmination of divine satisfaction.”

“Meditation makes the entire nervous system go into a field of coherence.”

“Meditation is painful in the beginning, but it bestows immortal Bliss and supreme joy in the end.”

“If you have time to breathe you have time to meditate. You breathe when you walk. You breathe when you stand. You breathe when you lie down.”

“Meditation applies the brakes to the mind.”
