Purpose is often, poetically, described as our North Star. It is the place where we feel most ‘in flow’, where our passion and action intersect, where we often achieve more than we felt capable of. In the bustle and demands of daily life discovering our purpose can, though, be a tricky proposition. For some it...
Throughout history we have wonderful examples of leaders doing the right thing – Lincoln’s abolition of slavery, Gandhi’s peaceful standing of ground, Martin Luther King Jr’s push for civil rights, Rosa Parks too, and Mandela’s bringing together a fractured nation. You will no doubt have your own inspiring examples. More recently in the business world...
Have you ever thought about what it means to be fully aware and ‘awake’ in every moment? To be so connected to how you are showing up, what you are sensing from others and what else is moving in the surrounding energy field’. This is of course a big ask and we might say only...
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...
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...
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...
In these days of major shift, disturbance, emergence and reorganising at both a global level (possibly also Cosmic) and a local, close to home level we are called upon to examine our relationship with trust. What and whom do we trust as we are seeking to find our place of centredness and balance? Some people...
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...
What or who do you trust in? What does the word ‘trust’ even mean to you? Typically people speak about things like consistency, reliability, competence, depth of relationship with something or someone and certainly any academic review of trust highlights all of these things. Reflecting on our trust in life itself may find us deeply...
