Suffering has been with humanity since humanity began I would suppose, and there has always been someone to help guide us humans through this nightmare, if we would only listen, observe and learn how to do it. Gautam Siddhartha, better known as The Buddha, devoted his life to helping people transcend their suffering 2,500 years…

Continuing from my previous post, I woke from sleep after around half an hour or so. I couldn’t see my watch because it was dark, although it wasn’t as pitch black as I had anticipated. In fact, I have sat for hours in pitch-black rooms before now, on my ghost hunt investigations over the years….

There’s a well-known saying “Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance”. There’s a more colorful version – “Proper Planning Prevents P**s Poor Performance”! Whichever version you prefer, it’s absolutely true! However, I would go a step further and say planning without execution of your plan will NOT prevent poor performance. A beautifully thought out plan that gathers…

Rather than to fight or to struggle with the illusion or the maya, it is very important to pull back the attention to another space. This is where meditation is so important. This is where being a little bit detached to what is happening around you, and being detached from the thought process, allows for…

I want to write about my first proper vision quest. Admittedly it is not something I ever planned to do. All I knew about vision quests was that they are a shaman ritual, and I had seen vague references to them in the Simpson’s movie. Yes, I was very culturally ignorant before a certain spiritual…

I am sitting in the sun on a roof terrace in Morocco high up in the Atlas Mountains… My shoulders are aching and my bottom muscles are stiff… The back of my nose is scratchy and my eyes feel quite heavy… This is the result of living and training in a land where the air…

Stealing from others has always been seen as a crime – in fact in years gone by, you could be hanged, or go to prison for years for stealing as little as a fish. Why do people steal, and is punishing them always the right course of action? There are many reasons why people steal….

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…

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…

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…
