This session introduces the practice of The Flame & The Void. Initially introduced through Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series, this is a simple alternative approach to mindfulness that offers beginners immediate calm and focus.

  1. Visualise a flame (object of meditation).

  2. Feed it all emotions, thought, and sensation.

  3. When there is nothing left, release the flame.

  4. Embrace the void (present moment/mindfulness/self) that remains.

  5. If needed, begin again.
