A Journey of Celtic Discovery
I have recently taken a huge leap in self-discovery. I am travelling a pagan path at the moment, and am now officially ‘out’ as a witch of the old ways. By this I mean I am not Wiccan, rather I follow our craft in the tradition of my ancestors, many of whom I have yet…
The Journey of Life
11,000 of us chose to meet on New Year’s Eve in Barcelona to go for a run together… Quite a thing, a huge group of people running around the streets of Barcelona as the sun set on 2015. As humans we appear to like meeting in groups to do things together… Queuing to do things,…
1% For Positive Change
This world seeks you, and about 70 million more people, being approximately 1% of the population of Earth, to spontaneously create positive change on our planet.

What Shall I Do With My Life and Career?

Letting Go and Starting Afresh
When I was living in the Algarve, Portugal I had the opportunity of going on a Vision Quest. We were taken to a rugged area in the vicinity of Loulé and each of us set off in the direction that called to us. Even though we were physically quite close to each other, because of…
Transcending Limitations
Joy does not come from limitations but from freeing ourselves from our limitations. If our breathing is tainted with negativity, true knowledge cannot reach us because we limit ourselves. Through anger, depression or unhappiness, we become locked up in an illusion created by ourselves and which separates us from the joy and happiness, which are…
Chinese Monk
I was a Chinese monk. Many years ago, before this lifetime, I was a Chinese Buddhist monk. I saw myself in deep meditation as one. In the vision, I was doing walking meditation, which is a way to learn to be deeply aware even when we are in action. By the way: according to Anat Baniel…
What They Do Not Want You to Know About Fluoride
The fluoride that is put into our water system is a by product of the phosphate fertilizer industry – it is toxic waste, literally. Before there were environmental restrictions on industry, the toxins were released as gas into the air, causing widespread environmental damage to crops and livestock.
