Live Light with Fritz

In contemplation practice, we observe physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts as a way of understanding ourselves without making sense of or labelling anything. We remove our usual layer of technique or method between ourselves and that which we observe, and face what is happening directly. There's nothing to do but to LOOK without looking for something. Through contemplation practice, we can...

When we sit still, we get overwhelmed by thoughts, emotions and sensations. This is the key challenge to meditation, and the reason why we struggle to practice consistently. We go into the four spiritual disciplines to overcome this challenge. 

This short outro highlights the realization that we are one with the elements. When we feel the power of water, we feel our own power. This shift in perspective gives us access to a tremendous new energy source.

First, I couldn’t make sense of metal as an element for meditation. Then, upon some feeling into it, I was struck by how Metal has the most important teaching for us now: Integrity. We must be aware and honest about the constant change we go through. We shall not be fixed in one personality but allow continuous movement and transformation. Beyond all that I say in this meditation, the key this wee...

Life throws things at us all the time. If we don’t pay attention, we get lost in the theatre. It may be pleasurable for some time, but we suffer immensely when the story turns too real (and it always does). We can be grounded like wood when we watch our mind. Pay attention to every moment and choose your thinking. Grounded in this attention, we can be flexible with what life offers us—no need to s...

Air is the teacher of renewal. We observe our breath and witness the change. Don’t do something to the breath, but be the breath. This is the magic of true breathwork. Practice being aware of the breath without doing anything, and let this bring you back to your natural rhythm.

Fire can teach us about intention and attention—the two ingredients for successful meditation. We set the intention to pay attention to every movement in our body, emotions and mind. This week, feel the fire within and let it fuel your intention to pay attention.

Earth teaches us about growth and evolution. We cannot control what is going to happen. Our body is at the mercy of Earth. In this meditation, we feel the power of Earth and let it guide us. Continue to feel this power in the coming week and listen to its calls.

Water teaches us the immense power of transformation. In this meditation, traveling through the inner and outer landscapes, we can let go in the flow of water. Continue to practice paying attention to water this week and listen to its insights.

We are about to start a new series of meditations. Inspired by my journey in the Himalayas, we will practice with the elements as our true teachers. In Elemental Mediation, we learn to feel the power of the elements and receive their gifts. Listen to the introduction now. 🌊🌱🔥💨

Make your own Meditation... and Stick with It. We are our own best teachers when we manage to pay attention to ourselves in action. We practice not to get lost in suffering but to see through it.

Meditation isn't about escaping our experiences with some method; it's about meeting them. By welcoming whatever arises—sensations, feelings, thoughts—we learn to truly rest in the present moment. This is where we can find a jewel. What is meant by ‘Make your own Meditation’ is to use our experience as a teacher by being aware and not lost in it. There’s a longer silence in this guided meditation...

Be with What Is: The most challenging meditation is non-meditation, not trying to do anything but simply being aware of what is. This is advanced practice because it is so simple. It goes against our desire for achievement. We are on the path when we open our heart without wanting anything in return.

Relaxation is an art we cannot even begin to master by watching movies and further stimulating our minds. With this meditation, practice 5 Channels for Quality Relaxation. They are the keys to meditative practice.

We tend to seek relaxation through screens and distractions, but are we truly resting? In this new meditation, we enter a state of deep rest that benefits our sleep and overall well-being. Together, we practice letting go of thoughts, emotions and tensions and cultivating profound relaxation. By mastering the art of deep rest, we nourish our nervous system, sleep better, and feel refreshed and rej...

Active Relaxation is at the heart of meditation. We notice any kind of agitation and come back into balance. This is a natural process for which we have to DO NOTHING—just be aware. It can be challenging, so let’s practice together.

We need to prepare ourselves for meditation. This can take years or just a moment, depending on where we’re at in our journey. Get in a comfortable position with your spine straight, and then practice these 5 Steps to Get Ready for Meditation.

On this journey, we will explore the essence of topics such as rest, sleep, relationships, love, work, conflict, and even physical and mental health and fitness. Each meditation is short and guided. Relax into it, but pay attention with no distractions. I trust it will benefit you, and I look forward to our practice together.
