The Wheel of the Year is turning once again as we slip gently into Autumn and welcome the Mabon festival of the second harvest. While out in the car last weekend, we saw farmers busy tidying their fields, securing their crops, and carrying out general maintenance on trees and outbuildings. Once all of this busy…

I recently read a blog post from a pagan who was very keen to assert her practice of “real paganism.” Now, she professes that most people who identify as pagan don’t do it properly. By that she means they don’t get out in nature, they don’t truly appreciate or try to help Mother Earth, and…

Greg is his name. I meet him at the YMCA in downtown Berkeley, not far from home. He’s a trainer, and I go to him, thinking he can bring strength back to this broken body of mine. Instead, he becomes another angel in my long healing journey. Soon, Greg and I are visiting every healer…

Well, I suppose really I should not be contributing to Zero Waste Week, if you get my meaning! Have you heard of the challenge? Environmental waste management is a big deal in the Green household, because my husband is a Chartered Waste Manager. Therefore, he scrutinizes every item that we use, he monitors the products…

The secondhand of the clock moves slowly here in the lowlands of Oakland, California. Everything is an effort: walking around the block, determined to walk again; going swimming at the YMCA; shopping; cooking.

Last month, my family and I enjoyed a holiday in North Norfolk. We stayed in the beautiful, picturesque town of Wells-Next-The-Sea, and enjoyed walks along the seafront, days on the beach, and explored all sorts of hidden places and local nature reserves. There is something about the beach, and the sea, that brings peace. I…

There are times when no amount of wanting, willing, or determination will bring us to that place we wish to go. The past lives in every cell of our body—whether from this lifetime or another—until we are able to hear, feel, be with what is trying to speak its voice through us so that we may,…

The time is now, to give up ideas that have no basis in real freedom in order to discover universal consciousness, which is free of rigid ideas that, by its nature, limit such an experience. Throughout history, every shift in our needs has been met with the creation or discovery of a life-changing solution. As…

Living in the hills of Oakland, California, was too much heaven for my hips after months of painfully traveling up and down five flights of stairs to survive. Looking out through immense windows of my idyllic home perched above the Bay and, in the distance, the San Francisco Bridge, was breathtaking, but I couldn’t live…

There are three ways that I know of, to change reality for the better for you. All of them depend on changing yourself. All of them depend on becoming more and more happy, regardless of circumstances. One way is to clear subconscious material. Every subconscious hindering or blocking belief that you clear out opens your…

We are back from our holiday, and a lovely one it was too. I will be writing about our days at the beach soon enough, but for today I want to talk about energy, specifically, a very strange feeling that took hold at the weekend. It sort of came to a head yesterday, when I…

At first glance the quote below can seem a little tough or harsh. But if you look a little closely these are actually words of comfort, caution and consciousness pointing you to your own inner wisdom. The quote itself was inspired by a short video a friend of mine sent to me this morning. It…
