The Moment You No Longer Need Instructions
When Meditation Becomes Yours
A Café Méditatif episode on reclaiming your practice
14 minutes · Filmed and recorded in Paris
Pour yourself a coffee.
Press pause on the world.
This is your moment — a meditative café ritual from Paris, with stories, sounds, and soft invitations.
In this week’s episode of Café Méditatif, we explore the quiet art of stepping away from guidance and into your own intuitive rhythm. So many of us begin our meditation journeys by following a voice, a structure, a script. But what if the next layer of presence isn't about being led — but about learning to lead yourself?
What to Expect in This Episode
This isn’t a rebellion against guidance. It’s a return to self-trust.
In this 14-minute meditation moment, I share:
Why you might feel stuck with guided meditations.
How to tell when your practice is asking for more spaciousness.
What it looks like to meditate like an artist — instinctively, elegantly, without a rulebook.
A handwritten meditation letter from Place Dauphine to gently hold your transition from guidance to intuition.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like meditation was something to “achieve,” instead of something to receive.
