Understanding the True Meaning of Honour and Integrity in Spiritual Work

However, this perception couldn't be further from the truth. Vulnerability is a remarkable source of strength, connection, and personal […]
The Armchair Warrior When I was younger, the concept of an Armchair Warrior simply didn't exist. This persona emerged with the advent of the internet and, more specifically, with the rise of social media. As digital platforms flourished, they allowed individuals to express strong opinions and debate from the comfort of their homes. This phenomenon […]

Mothers Day or Mothering Sunday. My first client as a Counsellor taught me something I never understood, and that was.

Both are not necessarily interspliced […]
Positive Thinking is a Lie – But Positive Feelings Change Everything.
Does Positive thinking really work? Gregg Braden summarises this well in one of his books, where he tells the story of the man with whom he carpools.

Confusion about sexual orientation for young people.
At adolescence, which can occur from 10 to 14, and there are no ages set in stone, young people begin to become sexual and sexually attracted to others.

Human beings are hard wired to touch each other. To hold, hug, embrace, kiss. No matter age gender culture or race. People communicate by gesture and touch all the time.

Time slips by so fast. Minutes turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks and weeks into years and all that time we are getting older. There is no rest for time, no break and it never stops and as a result we too grow old without the facility of a pause button. We […]
No one can explain how it happened. Whether by divine creation or cosmic accident we are here, we exist and it's a true miracle and a gift that is rare and beautiful. The Miracle of Humanness. This gift, this miracle of life has been revealed to me throughout time and space over and over again. As […]
Most human beings have still not figured out the Circle of Life. We take, rape and plunder our Great Planet for our own greed and insatiatable need for more. We take way beyond our quota never giving back. We show no respect for the Circle of Life or its creation. The more we have the […]
Our body feels pain to warn us of danger. The brain registers something is wrong and signals the pain receptors to activate for us to pay attention. But we also feel pain to remind us that we are alive. That pain can by emotional or physical. Some of us actively seek out pain whether it […]

Why does God allow evil and bad people do bad things in the world?
Cellular Memory Well God has nothing to do with it! Man has everything to do with it! When we arrive on the planet. We push from our Mothers womb all new, untarnished, pure and innocent. Or do we? Dr Bruce Lipton has proven the science of the cellular memory. We are not the construct of our genes. […]

It's amazing how people tell lies even when they don't have to. It's almost instinct. But it is instinct! Because we have been trained to lie all our lives, especially in our formative years where we have observed adults telling lies all the time. These lies may have been small "white lies" but, never the […]
The cellular membrane of the human cell has now been identified as the brain of the cell. The delicate egg like structure is where the memory of each cell is held.

So I understand only too well the challenge in the business world to stay in one’s Heart Space without being dropped on one’s head. When an employer engages with his staff whilst operating from […]
Our inner expressions are uniquely felt through us. These are the life impulses of creativity that we feel from within. When we channel this creative feeling, impulsively through actions, emotion and words, then we are releasing our true essence. This essence is at the core of our being, often wrapped by many layers of […]

We sow seeds of thought as we journey through life. Some we will see bloom, others we will never know about. But all have a ripple affect in our Universal consciousness. In turn we are the recipients of the seeded thoughts of others. Some affect our lives immeasurably, others we are unaware of their power […]
Our Choices Why do we settle for less when we always have a choice? Why then do we complain about the choices we have made but manage to blame others? An great example of this is when we enter a restaurant, we read the menu but are not fully happy and yet we stay, eat, […]

Meditation and The Subconscious Mind When I was a non-meditator I was always secretly jealous of the people who were in the mediation ‘gang’. I wondered what it would be like to relax fully into a different, deep state of mind. But did not think I was able or spiritual enough. I did not fully […]
