Freedom Through Being Ourselves…
Anadi and I took a picture of our shadows kissing on our run today… It was a mini run of only a couple of miles… In truth the longer – winding through the trees – to the beach and back. We had woken up later – 8am – and the heat was already in the day……
Feeling Your Way from Stress into ‘Flow’ – Part 2 of 5
Unfortunately we have become conditioned to a culture where things are expected to be instant: access to information, or entertainment, and even fast food. This means that we often look for a ‘magic wand’ – a pill or procedure that will make us well – but in doing this we are relying on external things…
Woman of the XXI century – Are You REALLY Aware of Your Power?
As women, we are obligated to be “superwomen”. We take on so many responsibilities, commitments, duties, hobbies – often so we can meet the needs of others. In our busy lives we find ourselves bombarded 24/7 by so much information, that at times we feel overwhelmed and tired just by the thought of having to…
Springtime Without You
I’m sharing a poem from many springs ago, as I prepare for this spring’s surprises…a grieving of the old…a rebirth: Spring locks her jaws into the hard earth, a pitter patter of rain seeking refuge inside. The windows shut, now open, the moon peers through rows of empty branches, Seeing something I don’t— tulips growing…
Tuning In to Who I Am
Here is another example of reading art. When you look at the drawing at first it seems as if it will be hard to tell something clear about it. But as I started describing what I see, the vision became clear. This is the fun in this game. The truth is always hiding in plain…
Expansion, Transmutation and Growth
A couple of days ago I received a direct message on twitter from someone who asked me ‘what has been the weirdest thing you have seen on your travels…’? We have seen so many things, and many of them unusual or very different to life in Britain, that to think of a ‘most weird’ would…
Feeling Your Way from Stress into ‘Flow’ – Part 1 of 5
“Only by being in harmony with our inner nature, and the Nature all around us, can we truly experience wellbeing and flow” Robyn Harris It almost seems that ‘busy’ is the new black! In our culture it appears that this is the way we measure success, or value, but when we put pressure on ourselves to maintain…
Checkmate with Ourselves
I remember now where I was on the eve of the millennium. Do you? I was in Taos, New Mexico, in the mountains somewhere far away from civilization as the entire world braced itself for what we called “Y2K” (when all computers would possibly shut down, and the world as we knew it). As we all…
An Inner Conflict
Obviously there is in this drawing something that grows. And also there is a relationship. The relationship is between two groups. The green and brown is one group and the yellow and ochre is the second group. The yellow and the ochre are free from attachment to the ground. They are transparent and interpenetrating with…
Silence… Life as a Meditation
The 6.30am alarm is still a bit of a challenge… I am guessing my body thinks its in England and that I have suddenly decided to leap up at 4.30am! Although there wasn’t a lot of leaping going on ? Anadi and I wandered out into a glorious fresh morning, before the heat of the…
The Psychology of The Horse – Part 5 of 5
Something we need to consider when our horses are stabled is what and how we feed them. Think about how the horse eats and drinks in the wild. Here they graze for up to sixteen hours a day, eating grass growing on the ground. In contrast we often feed concentrates at set meal times and…
Eternal Life Carved into Love
The tiny white bird that had appeared as an angel had definitely been an omen. Peace and healing had flown into my life on its blue-tipped wings after two-plus years of healing from physical pain at my parent’s house in New Jersey. It was time for me to learn about the medicine of spirit that would…
