In the UK and perhaps in many other countries too, we seem to be entering the New Year in turmoil. Brexit is upsetting both the UK and Europe, Trump is unsettling the stock markets and countries are thinking about trade tariffs.

It is said that in times of war or crisis those who retain hope have a greater probability of surviving. I believe that it is the emotion of hope that taps us into the universal energy which is all around us. From this energy we are given strength and capabilities to help us to survive. We just need to ask for it.
