Transformation: A Simple Framework

Leo da Vinci said: simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

I do notice a sense of ease and a smoother entry into flow when there is more simplicity; less distraction & less choice brings more clarity and a willingness to let go of forced effort.

You’ll see the tabs of my site include the words:


Meditation | Contemplation | Integration | Transformation


I use these words a lot, think abut their meanings and the doorways they provide to access deeper aspects of myself. They are the spine of my work too, and when they came through in this way (picture below) - it felt aligned and definitive of the change process in my opinion and experience.

A stripped back visual interpretation of the on-going process of transformation - I love the simplicity of it.

Firstly, these are not far-away philosophical concepts, rather already innate human qualities and capabilities we possess, which only need to be exercised.


For example:

Meditation: You began paying attention to how you feel waking up because you don't like it.

Contemplation: You investigate: What could be causing it? It maybe because I eat really late? 

Integration: You take action by experimenting with eating 2hrs earlier.

Transformation: Feeling energised upon waking so you begin to eat at a new dinner time.


When you engage in worry about the future - this is contemplation; when focusing fully on a work task - it’s a form of meditation and so on.


The key is to be an active particpant and intentionally use it for things that you want to.


The process naturally is not linear, shifting from one to the other in no particular order and we enage in these things all the time too whether we're aware of it or not.


There is potential to transform every moment, it does not have to be a life-long mission which the mind will make seem impossible to achieve.


This mechanism can be employed all the time and small steps compound.


Get into the practice of transformation in the seemingly small moments, and watch the bigger transformations take care of themselves.
