Did You Know You Have It
Uh oh, NOW what do I have? You’d have to be living under a rock (or without cable) not to miss the never-ending ads for every drug and disease under the sun. They conveniently list every symptom, specifically designed to make us mentally run down the list to see how many of them we…
Having a Premature Baby – Part 2
November is Prematurity Awareness Month, and my close friend Lotty has been posting videos on YouTube talking about her experience of having a premature baby in December last year. She hasn’t properly been able to speak about the whole event, but I remember receiving some hurried text messages in the middle of the night when…
Free Fall to Freedom….
I love stretching on the beach… It has become a daily practise and my body is opening up again. In fact the stretches that are deeper, or harder for me to do, are accessing something previously inaccessible inside… I can feel this space I am living in currently, without much interaction or conversation, is lending…
Dog & Cat Nutrition Part 5 of 5
In part 4 of this series I looked at the BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) diet. Some people, however, have voiced concerns about feeding raw food to pets. The Pet Food Manufacturers Association says: “There are concerns that feeding raw meat to pets can present a human/animal risk, such as salmonella contamination. In the case…
Giving Thanks to Divine Unity
It was Thanksgiving, but 18 years ago, at my parent’s house in New Jersey. My days and nights were filled with dreams, wide-open dreams and experiences that revealed the magical possibility of our humanity inside a deep purging. My body—in its pain and opening—had become a vessel through which ancients truths could emerge and…
Diversion
This entry has nothing to do with the usual direction that this blog takes. It has to do with my support of a friend, Tamara Suttle, who has a blog that supports therapists in private practice with ideas of how to make it work. She has asked me to write a short entry to her…
Having a Premature Baby – Part 1
Did you have a premature baby? Today is #WorldPrematurityDay, and in the UK, the baby charity Bliss is running a campaign to raise awareness of just how prevalent prematurity is within our communities. I did not have a premature baby, but a very close friend did, along with other friends and family, and I want…
Human Beings, Being Together….
A man is sitting at my table with me… He is happily writing postcards and drinking a fanta limon. He arrived, pulled a chair over and said something about not wanting to take up too many tables… There was not another table in use at the time. But we have settled in together now. I…
Dog & Cat Nutrition Part 4 of 5
Roger Meacock, a vet based in Swindon, UK says: “What people need to understand is that while on the outside dogs and cats have been domesticated into cuddly pets, inside a dog is 99% related to the wolf, while a pet cat’s digestive system is no different from a wild lion’s.” He says that their…
My Wings Circle Around Me in Love
Four months had passed since living with my parents in a small house in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ, a community far away from Oakland, California, and New Mexico, where I had been for several years. Two years ago, I had left New Jersey, from my parents’ earlier house, to go out west, to discover my wings, only…
The Beauty Of It All
When you are in a conflict Between doing this or that In your view The light is outside of you But the truth is that the light Is in you You are the light And the conflict Is a beautiful thing Happening inside of you. The mistake that we make Is identifying with…
The Illusion of This Life Moving, Shifting, Changing, Shimmering…
We got up early… For Spain! At 8am it felt like day was just dawning… A few people wandering, the man with his dog who sits on the promenade collecting euros was already in his place… The sun shone on the limpid blue sea; sparkling, dancing bright… Paving stones outside the restaurants wet washed from…
