Up and Down, Right and Left
I feel the soles of my feet – I did not feel them for some fifteen years. It starts with a 3AM drawing. 3AM is a good time to draw intuitively, because even though you are not asleep obviously, you are asleep to some degree, and it is all for good. I draw with my nose…
Letter to a Friend: Intuition, Discovery and Cosmic Support on the Path
I hope our chat was beneficial… A lot of information got downloaded there.. Be kind/ patient with yourself.. as this was, essentially, a form of energetic healing/work… Think of this as mediation, between what you want/ what you need.. and what the universe has in mind/store for how you fit into its bigger plans/fabric. And…
My Spiritual Journey: Coping with Stress
My reiki journey continues alongside domestic life, and I am noticing very definite distinctions in my behaviour, my mood, and the way I cope with everyday stress. Before I properly accepted reiki into my life, I would practice meditation sporadically, and while I always sort of knew that I had a very helpful coping mechanism…
Barefoot Drills on the Beach (Video)
Julia demonstrates her regime of drills to support her barefoot running and make her body stronger. I have been running all of my life – it feels I was born to run. In the running step I experienced freedom and my true expression. I came to see that I needed to ‘get…
Facial Expression and Body Language – Part 5 of 5
When talking about body language, another point I’d like to mention is that, just like us, the horse’s body language obviously shows how he’s feeling. But the reverse is also true – ie the shape we encourage him to hold will affect how he feels. Just as the act of smiling and standing up straight…

Pre Menstrual Stress: Curse or Cure?
As I am a Feminine Cycle Consultant and help women understand, appreciate and track their feminine cycle to improve the quality of their lives, I thought it was time for me to speak about this much debated topic that affects so many women in our society: the Pre Menstrual Syndrome (PMS). What is PMS? In…
Dancing in the Desert
I’m in the middle of New Mexico. I wrestle with restlessness late at night after days of looking for work and a place to live that’s more creative or affordable than staying with Judith, my current housemate. My challenge is not knowing how long I’ll be here in this desert city of Albuquerque. My plan…
Report from the Road
For a long while there was only the pain. Well almost. It did not leave me day and night. It went closer to the skin and became stronger and harder to take. I thought it would go away in a day, two days, three.. but it stayed for three or four weeks. Today I had…
The Power of Animals: Teaching the Teachers to Heal
Animals have a huge power to affect change and healing. I think they help bring us back to who we are, or could be/ want to be.. our own best selves reflect in their eyes. They meet us in the present, respond predominantly to what we bring to them in that moment- and yet remind…
There is Within Me an Invincible Summer…
I have just returned from running some intervals along my Almunecar sandy strip of beach… I absolutely loved every minute. There is something about taking my shoes off that has rekindled in me a true desire to run… Any sense of ‘have to go running’ has left me, and I look forward to…
My Spiritual Journey: Guidance from the Dragonfly
The beginning of the school year proves to be one of heightened emotional stress and upheaval, as I navigate the highs and lows of sending my children to school. My eldest daughter has almost completed her first year at primary school, and my youngest daughter her first year at preschool. Both are very happy in…
