Just recently I saw something online that really upset me. I am sure many other people saw it too. It was the video of a homeless man in Paris, France being separated from his dog. I have to admit that I have become a bit desensitised due to the myriad images that are flying around…

It is interesting that most people reach a point in their lives where they accept the feeling of being alive, but not quite to the extent that they wish this aliveness to be. Divine ecstasy is the ecstasy one feels that is beyond the joy and happiness that comes from the mundane aspects of life…

In the secular west, we have been living in a society that for 2,000 years has denied the phenomenon of reincarnation. It began with the church, which as the Bible was being collated, decided to omit any reference to reincarnation, as a method of controlling the population by fear. The church used fear to keep…

Fear is a great tool for manipulating individuals and groups into desired behaviour. In schools, kids are teased, harassed or bullied into conformity, or as a punishment for not conforming to a social norm. This is a way of stealing someone’s vital essence, killing their inner fire, and stealing or damping that sacred spark of…

When I was in my very early twenties I can remember a longing, a yearning, to withdraw from society… To be a nun maybe..? Those who know me well will laugh at this thought…! But it was more the withdrawal from the world that I was attracted to – the spiritual contemplation and stillness that…

It’s interesting to note that one of the main reasons we choose to become our own boss is to reduce the stress, unhappiness and structure of being employed and gain more freedom, balance and pleasure. Yet what can so easily happen – if you’re not really careful – is that you step out from a…

Manifestation happens all the time, whether you’re aware of it or not. Our thoughts and feelings affect the energy of the quantum field and create outcomes that affect every aspect of our life. That’s why it’s really important to know how manifestation works so you can make sure you create outcomes you want rather than continuing…

What would happen if our creative lives and businesses had to exist under the threat of a mental illness diagnosis? “Dissent is essential for progress” – Thomas Eddison “My work is more important than what you think of me” – Brene Brown “Not everyone thinks the way you think, knows the things you know, believes…

“Nature is such a powerful thing and, in fact, this is not new because the Hindus talked about these things thousands of years ago but they described it as the dance of destruction and the dance of life – expansion and contraction. Without destruction there is no life. Our intelligence says we want to keep…

How to communicate with God? Well, that’s a good refresher question. One thing I really like about the linked in discussions, is that it tends to bring my focus back to some fundamental concepts: either reminders or refreshers or new perspectives:) Having studied with the indigenous teachers- mostly Peru- my teachers were somewhat non-denominational. Granted,…

What do I want? What do you want? What do any of us want? There is the ultimate question, and it is one that I had forgotten about until I re-watched an episode of ‘Hang Out With Penny’ on YouTube. I first came across Penny Peddie via a Google+ hangout that I stumbled across late…

I was driving yesterday over the Ashdown forest… The forest where Pooh bear, Piglet and all their friends live. It was a forest I almost lived in too for many years… Most days I would run there, loving its expansive wildness and it’s freedom. It reflected my yearning, for wildness and freedom; no restraints within…
