Happiness: 5 thoughts for the coming month

Happiness is on the inside

Just looking at this picture makes me feel good.  You can feel the joy of this young man having fun in the shower.

Some tips on finding your personal happiness;
  1. One small positive thought when you wake-up can change how you feel for your entire day. What a great way to start your day
  2. Tell yourself; Today I refuse to stress myself out over things I cannot control or change. Let them go and enjoy the things in your life you can control. Make sure they are really what you want in your life.
  3. The best things in life are free: hugs, smiles, friends, kisses, family, sleep, love, laughter and good memories. Put plenty of them in your day
  4. Happiness can be as simple as; meeting an old friend after a long time and feeling that nothing has changed.
  5. I am stronger having learnt from my mistakes.  Happier because I have known sadness and learnt how to improve how I feel on the inside.

It is within your control to choose happiness.

Life without laughter is not living. Smile at the world and it will smile back at you. When you walk down the street, smile at the people walking towards you. Even in a city like London where I live which can be an anonymous place, total strangers will smile at me and even ask how I am when I practice smiling. It makes me feel good inside. read more

Rumi’s Reflections: Alison Wem’s Journal – Day 7

My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that,

and I intend to end up there.

Jalal al-Din Rumi

I talked with my soul for many years before I realised who it was.

Throughout a life threatening childhood illness, he was always there comforting and encouraging me. He held my hand through the dark of the night when I was in pain.

In adulthood I was grateful to realise who he is, my best friend and my soul. He is the spark of divinity within me and brings me calmness, harmony and wisdom. We will always be together and I will go wherever he does. White Cloud, my light in the darkness shinning the way. read more

Relaxation: the importance of taking a break

You may be experiencing the relentless pace of business or the rigours of running a family life or perhaps both!

Stress resides not in the mind but in the nervous system. Our ‘fight or flight’ response raises our cortisol level causing the sympathetic nervous system to activate. Our bodies are designed for a raised cortisol level but only in short bursts to aid our survival. However in our modern ‘always on the go’ life style, many people live with chronic raised cortisol levels leading to slow digestion, sleep disruption and other side effects. read more

Spiritual development: Dark Night of the Soul

Spiritual development is often a solitary journey. As a psychic medium, I just followed my intuition and let it guide me where I needed to go. However I didn’t always understand what was happening to me.

The Dark Night of the Soul can be particularly dramatic and it can help to understand what is happening to you. I cross referenced literature to try and gain an understanding including;

  • the teachings of the Tibetan channelled by Alice Bailey
  • William Meader’s Shine Forth plus his video lectures giving a simplified version of the Alice Bailey teachings,
  • Michael Newton’s Destiny of Souls
  • Various texts about Kundalini.

People seldom talk about their spiritual development. It is a personal journey with your soul and Spirit. I did wonder what other people were experiencing. I found a lovely writer Patricia Williams who speaks of her experiences and gives words of wisdom on managing your own Dark Night of the Soul. read more
