Life comprises light and shade and greyer stuff in between. We need this contrast for how would we recognise joy without experiencing the opposite. And yet contrast has become something far more challenging. We can see this in conventional media with often vastly different and usually negative takes on the same story, and in the...
Of course it’s that time of year when we are invited to set personal goals and intentions. Commit ourselves to the changes – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual – that we know will help us to improve our path in life and make better contributions. We also know that in many cases these might last...
Against the immensity of world events setting our own intentions to serving a greater good, to the building of a better world for all may seem inconsequential and, perhaps, rather pointless. We may question how, as one person, we can make any positive difference to the state of our world, to influencing it for the...
“The way to establish a relationship with Spirit and access the power of this creating principle is to continuously contemplate yourself as being surrounded by the conditions you wish to produce.” Wayne Dyer Studies demonstrate the power of collective meditation with a clear intention. Even small groups can have a substantial impact under the law...
When Martin Luther King had a dream, he wasn’t setting out a strategy rather calling for a seismic shift in perspective, that people would come together in harmony, unity and appreciation of one another. Isn’t that what we need now in a world that has, on the one hand, made such progress through human ingenuity...
Humans are naturally and powerfully creative. Every thought, every action, every attitude contributes in some way to our collective reality. So often we assume we aren’t creative because we tend to associate it with the arts – painting, performing, writing and so on. In reality, just like nature itself, we are infinitely creative. Creativity is...
We may all long for a better world. A world of more love, kindness, peace, fairness, prosperity. Though the forces holding this back may seem too formidable for us to overcome each of us can make a difference in how we interact with the world and in the intentions we set for its improvement. Of...
If we want a better world we must each play our part in its creation, living as citizens of that better world rather than citizens of our own little world. Examining all aspects of our life and their contribution to our wellbeing – mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually – is a start. Maybe our practice...
The subject of choice making is a challenging one because done well it requires us to step into accountability and responsibility for our choices. This can be emotionally challenging in situations where we may be feeling the onslaught of hurt, injustice, outrage, impotence, frustration and so on leaving us perhaps feeling like a victim. A...
Many will be familiar with the idea (or fact) that ‘energy follows thought’. This idea has been given new scientific weight in recent decades with Einstein’s theory of relativity in which the mass itself has been proven to consist of energy and it’s not just a case of kinetic energy or motion. If we examine...
