Welcome

Our world is busy and in the turmoil we forget we all share the same space

Go beyond difference and remember the still silent space where everything is One

That space is the same up moutains and in valleys

In cities or fields

In Pleasure and in Pain

In Peace or Conflict

In fact, Wherever YOU are, it belongs to us all

2013! the seventh year and after a marvellous day last year both here and in other places round the world, the idea of stillness and silence, meditation and reflection is spreading. There has been an upsurge in people finding ways to be still, labyrinths are being uncovered in old Churches and used in new ways. Being still is being found to be good. Please keep in touch with Just this Day, sign up for the newsletter and on November 20th this year, join together with others to spread the healing power of quiet. If you are in London, the line up of speakers at St Martin-in-the-Fields will be addressing the universal and timeless tradition of meditation and mindfulness, and how it can be applied today.

Nikki Slade will be at St Martin-in-the-Fields on November 20th

Nikki Slade will join the morning at St Martin-in-the-Fields on Nov 20th, chanting from Eastern and Western sources. Her chanting opens hearts and will be an inspirational start to the morning meditation and following talks. Chanting and mantra repetition is a millennia-old form of meditation. www.freetheinnervoice.com

Our world is busy and in the turmoil we forget we all share the same space. Go beyond nationality, religious belief or difference and remember the still, silent present where everything is united. That space is the same. In cities or fields. Up mountains or in valleys. In work, study or play. In fortune or adversity. In peace or conflict. In fact wherever YOU are. It belongs to us all.

Just this Day thanks everybody who took part in 2012.
