Relief of finding calmness

Sometimes life’s challenges feel overwhelming.  Challenges are opportunities to learn life lessons.  They are not meant to be so hard that they break you, but they are meant to be ‘challenging’.  This is sometimes needed to get you to listen.

When you feel overwhelmed; step back, take a few deep breadths and re-assess the situation you find yourself in.  Listening to the calm, rationale voice within you.  It can be enlightening.  You will be surprised at how objective and fair that voice is.  However it can take some diligence to hear the voice over your anger, frustration or fear. read more

Angels and feathers

It is said that when an angel visits you they leave a feather behind so you know they have been. I have not experienced this, that is until last week.

I keep a Post It pad near me at home to capture thoughts that come to me for this blog. Recently the ideas have been slow in coming and my post its were sadly empty. I sent out a little request for ideas but none seemed to be forth coming. I came home from work and there was a beautifully formed feather sitting on the top of my pad. Lets see what arrives in the coming weeks. read more

Honour your ancestors

Hampstead Heath

Went to a Healing Voice workshop given by Jill Purce in Hampstead.  It is such a beautiful day it feels good to be alive.

In many ways the desire to be a better person and to acquire greater wisdom on love and compassion is a deeply personal and private conversation.   The journey one takes to achieve this is immaterial but undertaking or starting to undertake the journey is hugely important to the individual.  Some seek a facilitator to help them in this journey.

Justice in your heart

For justice to be true, it must sit comfortably in your heart.  When justice is compromised our minds try to rationalize the outcome as good.  In difficult circumstances it is too easy to listen to your head rather than your heart.

Look at how children interact.  For them right and wrong is viewed from a beautifully simplistic point of view.  We were all children once and each of us should try to bring this approach back into our adult lives.  Not sure if you are being true to yourself?  Stand back a moment when a difficult decision has to be made and listen to the messages from your heart.  It will make the world a better place.

Exploring sound as an energy

Chanting meditation: is sound an energy that can be used to increase our connection to the ‘inner you’, our families, our communities, the universe?

The material world is made up of matter which breaks down to atoms and protons. Protons are light and the ultimate energy source. Sound and the vibrations it makes are also energy. Therefore can sound as a form of energy influence people and the environment in which it operates?
