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...
When we think about finding our way, of having the right directions we may think of Sat Nav or Google maps. If we’re old school we might be drawn to maps and atlases. Hopefully we’ll have a bit of a sense of direction and a little bit of luck too. Yet there’s something deeper and...

Given the challenges facing our world each of us showing up whole, reporting for duty if you like, and bringing our full awareness and positive intention to all that we do in our daily lives is a must. Though we may be nodding our heads here, silently thinking of course, there are many obstacles. 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...
Down the ages we have seen seemingly impossible feats achieved, immense tides turned to flow in a more positive direction, hatred, violence and division move into a space of forgiveness and reconciliation. Lincoln’s abolition of slavery, the defeat of Nazism, the ending of apartheid in South Africa, the peace process in Northern Ireland are just...
‘If I can dream…of a better land…’ so sang Elvis Presley in his 1968 Comeback Special. A gospel song that contains a powerful call for beauty, harmony, sisterhood and brotherhood. It calls for belief that we do deserve something better than we are creating now. More than that, it invokes that better world. We often...
