Feeling a certainty that just is

At a physical level, it’s probably fair to say that at the moment many of us have no idea what will happen from one day to the next. All over the world there’s so much change occurring politically, climatically, and with Covid. And when the

Being at peace not knowing

Most of us like to feel in control, some of us like to know everything, so when life is uncertain we can panic not knowing. Wanting to know, wanting to control, I’ve learned, is the biggest thing that gets in the way of being at

How do you cope with not knowing?

Uncertainty is unsettling for us all, the question is …how are you supporting yourself through it? We’re each impacted in some way by all the change that’s happening, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, sometimes downright shaky, and of course that increases our stress levels. At

Time for a different connection?

Investing in your life as it is right now…..last week we talked about letting go of worries and finding joy in your day. Of course, when you focus on the present, you can bring your attention to how you are being in whatever you’re doing.

Why wait?

How many of us are waiting for Covid to be over to get on with our lives? What if Covid doesn’t disappear, what will you do? Many of us have had to radically change our lives, and with that we may need to change how

A diamond’s cut

Imagining a world living in peace….where you feel happy with what is… Like climate change, it’s down to us; and there is a way. It starts with understanding, then being at peace with our self. In fine jewellery, a diamond’s uniqueness is determined by its

Head and heart

This month we’re looking at a different way to be… to help us to live in peace and acceptance. Through first of all understanding and accepting who we are, then through simply being ourself. It starts with looking at how you see ourself, discovering your

There is a way…

Last month we talked about John Lennon’s dream of the world living in peace, and looked at the big picture of what might need to change to make our planet a better place. Of course, if we want to change something it begins with our

Eyes to see, a heart to feel

We’ve talked about taking care of each other and our planet, we’ve imagined there being no separation, living as one, but what is ‘oneness’? Oneness is knowing that we’re all inter-connected, we come from the same core and at the same time each of us

Last week we remembered John Lennon’s dream of living in peace and the world living as one. ‘Is it possible?’, you might ask. How can we take care of each other and our planet and respect our many different ways? How can we work together,

Imagine…

It’s hard to believe, it’s now 50 years since John Lennon wrote the song ‘Imagine’ – his dream of the world living as one. Seeing identity based hatred across the world today, some might ridicule his dream…yet if we don’t have a dream, what is

A couple of years ago, I wrote about the Maori proverb which ponders what is the most important thing in the world. Their answer is – ‘He tangata, he tangata, he tangata’ – it is the people, the people, the people. Seeing themselves as caretakers

Acceptance – no regrets.

D’you ever find yourself wishing that you had done things differently? A snap decision, something said in haste, a need to make the ‘right decision’ only to find that you made one big ‘mistake’? Having regrets is not much fun, it keeps you stuck in

Acceptance…family

For some of us, family is all that matters; for others, family can drive us nuts. We love them, and, they tweak our buttons. Whatever the issues, it’s important to remember that as souls we chose our family, we’re together for a reason, to learn

Accepting and trusting your own knowing.

How much confidence d’you have in making decisions? D’you make decisions from your heart …or… do you look to the opinions of others? When your world is turned upside down and you feel overwhelmed, there’s so much to think about, so much to consider, it’s

Accept and be happy

This month we’re going to be looking at acceptance – acceptance of ourself, acceptance of others, acceptance of what’s happening around us – and why it’s important to be able to accept what is. A few months ago, I came to live in Vanuatu, a

“People who ask don’t get!”…?

“People who ask don’t get!”. Did you ever hear that expression growing up? I know I did. The perception was that it’s not polite to ask, it’s greedy. This belief however is something that limits enormously. When our emotional buttons are tweaked, when we don’t

Time to appreciate your self

Have you ever longed for someone to appreciate you…and felt disappointed? Of course, it’s not anybody else’s job to appreciate us; and, if we’re feeling un-appreciated, it’s good to learn to do it for our self. How we talk to and treat ourself determines how

Talking to ourself

D’you ever find yourself talking to yourself…out loud? It’s easy to joke about talking to our self … many of us do it, I know I do! Seriously, the question perhaps is…how do you talk to yourself… internally? Words carry energy, they shape our thoughts
