There are times when many of us will wonder what we are doing here in the mundanity of the small setbacks that life throws at us. Generally, it’s a fleeting and casual enquiry provoked by feeling sorry for ourselves. If we go deeper though ‘what am I here for?’ sits at the heart of our...
Trust. It’s such a small word for such a huge concept. Being clear with ourselves who and in what we trust is what helps us to navigate life – to work out where our safety and freedom lies, emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. Understanding our relationship with trust is also important. Knowing whether we are...
In a world where there is so much conflict, and increasingly so, it is understandable that we may feel hemmed in, surrounded, by drama. In this state the insignificant irritations and challenges of our everyday become magnified, taking on a dramatic significance of which they are unworthy. Unwittingly or unintentionally we may be adding to...
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...
‘Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfilment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words.

We can spend our lives living with what we know…the concrete stuff we can see in front and around us, events we are a part of, all overlaid with the filter of our experience. And yet we know there’s a bigger world out there. One in which our experience and interpretation of an event will...
It’s a full-on world that we inhabit right now. In fact, to be more precise, that we have created. Locating and connecting to one’s inner balance is extremely tough as we are buffeted by global and local challenges and crises. And yet that inner balance has never been more essential because it’s from there that...
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...
We all know that love is a word, a sentiment, a feeling that we most closely associate with loved ones, family, friends and so on. We don’t often use it in a wider context within say our work life or our wider connections. Some of this could be because we have confined our understanding of...
