Today I heard that a dear friend of mine has passed over. His name is Gary. It happened only a matter of hours ago, and Gary’s wife (who’s also a close friend of mine) called me in tears. His body was stretched out beside her, and she was holding him as we spoke, and sobbing. Whilst he’d had many health challenges (including being on dialysis), his mind and Spirit have always been so strong. He and his wife had just spent one of the most magical weekends together in the mountains with friends. Gary had taken a nap this morning and hadn’t woken up. I’m 10 hours’ drive from them, and not in a position to drop everything and drive...
It was more than thirty years ago when I read the book The Road Less Travelled, by M. Scott Peck. It was my first personal development book, and I remember coming away from that book going, “This is me!!! I’m on the road less travelled!” It was one of those “ah ha” moments in my life, when first I really “got” that I am here on this Planet to walk a spiritual path. But what does that actually mean? It is certainly not a path chosen by the masses. It is a path underpinned by consciousness and self-awareness. It is a path that involves learning, study and personal development. But all the reading and study in the world will only...
Did you enjoy last month’s affirmations? They were gems of wisdom from one of my favourite uplifting books, Chicken Soup for the Soul by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen.There are so many gems in this beautiful book that I wanted to share Part 2 with you today, also inspired by Chicken Soup for the Soul. If you love these words of inspiration, treat yourself to a copy of the book. Reading a few pages at night is a beautiful way to move into a heart space before sleep. Intuitively pick a number between 1 and 9, and see which inspired quote is choosing you today. As a special treat, I’ve also included a Young Living oil blend to partner with your affirmation:...
Do you ever get the feeling? Do you ever get the feeling that right now, it’s like the Earth is splitting beneath you, so that you have somehow ended up with one foot on either side of a giant chasm? You’re looking down into the fiery centre of the Earth, knowing that change is inevitable, but with no idea how that will look? If you know this feeling, you’re not alone. A few weeks ago, I found myself in a mindset dilemma. I’m sure you have also felt this. As I gaze upon the chaos that’s occurring in our world, my heart sinks to watch us moving so far from the beautiful world I want to live in. Yet at...
If I ask you to take your mind to the most peaceful place you can imagine, where would it be? And what is it about this place that makes it so peaceful, so uplifting, so cleansing? You may find yourself gazing at the ocean, mesmerised by the ebb and flow of the waves. Or you could be walking on the beach, breathing in those stress-relieving negative ions, feeling the warm sand between your toes. You might be standing under a waterfall, letting the water plunge onto your crown and awaken all of your senses. Or you may be sitting in stillness in nature, feeling the leaves dancing around you, listening to the music of the forest, watching as the...
