Coming into right relationship with patience is a challenging road, for me at least. It’s so easy to get drawn to the negative impacts of patience – inaction, having to go slower, doing/achieving less – it is amazing the mind games that go on around patience. Mind games that in many respects are examples of...
We spend so much of our day, our lives grappling with the practicalities of life. We are often focused on making things happen, getting through the quagmire of obstacles and challenges and not surprisingly feeling buoyed when we see some indication of progress or change in the desired direction. As leaders we are rewarded for...
Another day, another week, more grisly headlines…this time the fall of a dictator, the grim legacy of inhumanity left behind. An uncertain future for a nation. With the full on, full frontal and ever-present nature of the media it is hard to avoid what is happening in our world. And the worse it is the...
When we’re challenged by life circumstances, whether the problems are ours or have wider impact, we might find ourselves wishing for divine intervention without any real belief that can happen though the world could do with a dose right now. Yet that ‘divine intervention’ in the form of a higher wisdom is down to us...
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.

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...
Are we on the right track? How do we know when the choice/decision we’ve made is the right one? And who for…is it serving us or something bigger? The state of our world is asking that every day we seek to make choices that add positively to its spiritual fabric. Adding light to the thought...
Oneness is both a simple and vast principle to explore. For some the notion of oneness may feel too abstract to be meaningful, for others it may be a foundational principle of life – encapsulated in the phrase ‘we are all connected’ perhaps? The idea that everything we do, think, say impacts everyone and everything...
