How to balance your Chakras - Part 2

Last week, we spoke about what the Chakras are, and how to balance them using meditation and creative visualisation. This week, we’re going to explore another excellent way of balancing our chakras, and that’s using essential oils... 2. Balancing the Chakras with Essential Oils But wait – did I just say “balancing chakras with essential oils?” How can essential oils do that? Aren’t they just this pretty smell that comes from parts of plants, that are used to make homes smell nice? Well – sure – that’s a very basic way of looking at essential oils. But oils are far from basic. Essential Oils are incredibly sophisticated natural compounds, containing hundreds if not thousands of natural plant chemicals in perfect...

How to balance your Chakras - Part 1

Our body is so much more than a physical, mental and emotional Being. It’s also contains subtle energies that we’ve known about for thousands of years, yet still barely understand. Our chakras are part of this subtle energy system. The word Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel or cycle. This makes sense when we understand that the chakras are spinning wheels of light that reflect various energy centres or vortexes in our body. In short, they occur where we have a complex intersection of energy meridians. Whether the chakras feed the meridians or the meridians feed the chakras is not fully understood. But suffice to say that the chakras, although subtle and not “felt” in the way that we...

Affirmations to Transform your Life

What if we were given lessons on how to live? Lessons from someone who has seen the highs and lows of life, from someone who has gained love and lost love... From someone who could share the best of their learning, from all of their lived experiences? Today’s inspirational sayings are taken from ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’ by Mitch Albom.

The book is a magical chronicle of the author’s life-changing conversations with his old University Professor, Morrie. In the last month's of Morrie’s life, the two men spent sixteen Tuesdays together, exploring many fundamental issues; from...

Goodbye, but not Farewell

  This is a condensed version of the Eulogy that I read out at Mum’s funeral yesterday. It completes my series of blogs about my journey with Mum in life and in death. Enjoy! Make sure you’ve read Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 first... Nothing ever prepares us for a moment like this. Although we could all see that Mum was slowly declining, I never allowed myself to think of “that moment” when she’d leave her body and spread her wings. I wanted to think that she’d be here forever, never changing, always there for us, as she has always been. And I hoped that by not thinking of it, maybe it would never happen. Yet here we...

Tears that Purify, Tears that Heal

If you’ve been following my journey over the last 2 blogs, you will know that my Mum has been preparing to leave her body. Where I thought that it may still be weeks or months, death came to visit far swifter than that. 10 days after I shot her with my arrow of truth and told her that I love her (read “I killed my Mum”), she was gone. She had spent her last 48 hours firstly in the Emergency Department at her local hospital. The doctors ran all sorts of tests, which showed simply that her body was shutting down. Her blood pressure was very low, not enough oxygen was getting to her organs, and her kidneys were inflamed....
