I drive a Subaru WRX. Fabulous car. I was fortunate and happened to buy the 1998 model, the best looking WRX of all time. Sleek, elegant, relatively cheap, and bloody fast!This month, my lovely old car is celebrate its 28th birthday, having just turned over 365,00Kms. Yes 365,000Kms!

Tighten the strings too much – poor sound. Too loose – poor sound. There is a need to be not too tight, not too loose. Well tuned.In meditation we often use this analogy to remind ourselves to concentrate in the same way. Not so intense we end up with a headache. Not so slack we fall asleep. Just right...Now research in neuroscience is pointing to this same need http://blog.iangawler.com/2026/07/critical-brain-hypothesis-what-it-means.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Dr. Ian Gawler)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6424910449116173147.post-3899949070849103909Thu, 02 Jul 2026 12:46:59 +00002026-07-11T15:46:30.192+10:00Long weekend meditation retreatMeditation retreat AustraliaMeditation retreat Ian GawlerMeditation retreat VictoriaRest, relaxation, regeneration.

Occasionally someone comes new to meditation and simply falls into it, however, for most of us it takes time. As with many things, the more you do; the more you learn, the more you practice, the better you become. For meditation, the secret is held within the regularity of the practice, and the time spent practicing.

We all have times when we need healing. We all have times when we wish healing would come for someone we care for and love.Is this just a pipe-dream, or can we actually do something meaningful?
