Have you ever felt like you are a passenger in your life, and that a force far greater than your mere mortal Self is in the driver’s seat? We call this being in “Flow”, and in these moments we consciously witness ourselves moving through the river of life, with all of its perfect synchronicities. Nothing happens by chance. We see so clearly the movement of Spirit within us, managing the divine timing so that we end up in the perfect place at the perfect time…over and over again. Last week I shared with you the powerful way in which my own barriers to the world came cracking open in an Ice Bath experience. For at least 6 years,...
Just over a week ago, I went away for a few nights. I’m part of a conscious entrepreneur’s group, and we meet 4 to 6 times a year as a way of inspiring each other, challenging ourselves, and simply having connection with like-minded people. But I have a confession to make. I’ve never been great in crowds. I become like the most awkward teenager when I’m thrust into a group of people. Small intimate groups with a handful of people and a single conversation are no problem at all…and larger groups if I’m teaching are no problem (because everyone’s energy is focussed in one direction, ie. the direction I want to take them). But crowds in a social setting are...
Buddhism is a beautiful path, with ancient roots. However, not everyone finds Buddhism to be accessible to them.Well, they say that the teacher appears when the student is ready, and one day I was browsing a bookstore, and there was The Pocket, by Pema Chödrön. I can distinctly remember the first time I read that famous book; it was one of the most beautiful and unique reads I had ever come across. I instantly admired Chödrön’s forthrightness. Her eloquent and timely words were a turning point that guided me to daily journal writing and believing in the worthiness of my own heart. These are some of my favourite quotes...

Would it sadden you to know that microplastics now contaminate our entire Planet, from the depths of the ocean to the peaks of Mount Everest? 300 million metric tons of plastic are produced every year. That’s roughly the weight of the entire human population. So it’s no wonder that trillions of degraded bits of plastic are lurking largely unseen in the environment. Even back as far as 1971, marine biologist Ed Carpenter noticed thousands of strange white specks floating amongst the seaweed in the Sargasso Sea, 550 miles from any mainland. Upon closer investigation, he discovered they were tiny bits of plastic. If plastic was found that far from land, then he concluded that it is all over the place....
Did you enjoy my last blog? If so, you will know I’ve been away at a 7 day Aboriginal Healing workshop. This week, I want to share with you my most powerful take-away from this intense and wonderful week. I went into the workshop expecting to learn a fascinating new modality. Yet I came out of that workshop having gained something totally unexpected. And I realised that disruption is our greatest teacher. As very young children, our life is full of wonder and new experiences. We are like the sponge, soaking up the world, growing and learning in every way possible. Our Being is innately malleable, and nothing is “good” or “bad”, “right” or “wrong”. It just is. If we...
