As each day brings us more difficult news about the state of our world it would be easy to withdraw, to hide, even to wither under the onslaught, especially if this is layered on top of more personal challenges in our daily lives. Yet now, as never before, hiding isn’t an option. We need to...
Experiencing those moments of pure flow are truly magical. They may last seconds or months, maybe even years. Pure flow doesn’t mean there are no challenges or obstacles in our way though…it means that in that moment, we are deeply resourced in being able to face those challenges and address them without being held hostage...
When we reflect on the luminous energy that emanates from some people we know we have been in contact with someone or something very powerful. It’s a sense of a timeless, enriching and generous power that includes and envelopes us. It’s a presence that is both of the person and beyond the person. It’s a...
There’s a world of difference between ‘being with’ and ‘being there’. In the latter we can show up physically without being fully present. Our mind (attention), emotions, spirit may be somewhere else entirely. Being with means we’re immersed wholly in each moment. Our visible and invisible aspects are aligned, fully connected to our environment –...
Optimism in the face of the many challenges we see in the world around us can be in short supply. Even the more minor inconveniences we encounter in our daily lives can add to the sense of overwhelm. So, we must look beyond the deluge of negative headlines and the distressing behaviours, practices and happenings...

Allowing ourselves to be in relationship with a deep peaceful silence enriches and energises. As we come into stillness and deepen our connection with the pulsing rhythm of our own heart and...
Depending on your perspective, of course, one of the positives of the pandemic was the quietening it brought to the busy-ness of the world. A turning down of the volume enabling a deeper contact with self. As we have emerged into the practical aspects of life, being more out there, the volume has risen once...
Radiance is often a word we associate with young people or brides…that sense of the light shining in the eyes and the whole face alive as if there is no way to contain the inner power and vitality flowing through that person. We experience their magnetism and it’s almost contagious. There are other times though...
There are those moments in life when we just know. Without any reason or logical context, or even time spent considering. We just know. It might be arriving at a place with a sense of coming home. It may be meeting someone for the first time who feels beyond familiar…a deep connection forged in the...
We’ve kind of got used to not seeing beyond today or tomorrow given the clouds of uncertainty that persistently hover. With many of our everyday ‘taken for granteds’ being on hold we’ve perhaps all had to get a little better at being in the moment, and living moment to moment. And as much as we...
