The Fire of Transformation

Do affirmations really work?
There are many spiritual teachings that speak of the power of positive affirmations in one's life as a force for transformation. Basically if we keep telling ourselves that something is true long enough - like we are only love for example - the hope is that we begin to fully believe it and manifest that reality in our lives. But does it work?...

Morning shower meditation


Want to feel invigorated in the morning? Try this...
Here's a morning meditation that you can do in 5 minutes while taking a shower and is sure to rev you up better than any cafe latte.

Turn the bathroom light off - you'll see why later. Set the shower to a warm comforting temperature and begin by feeling the warmth on your skin as the water trickles down your body. Imagine you are stood under a cleansing waterfall of golden light...

Who am I?


Frequently the question 'who am I?' arises...
As ever, like anyone, I can only answer from my perspective based on the model of reality I am experiencing. To me, the question is actually more WHAT am I rather than who am I?...

Animal medicine


How does animal medicine work?
Since my own awakening to the unity consciousness residing in all things, I am frequently overwhelmed by the shear beauty, perfection and awesome simplicity of animals. They were surely put here as our teachers revealing in us how our beingness can wonderfully manifest itself when not constrained through distorted thinking and perceived limitations. How is it that the 'right' animal, be it the real thing or just an image, can miraculously appears when we need guidance most?...

"A need to know"

How much is there to know?
We all know the universe is of infinite proportions. All the while people are digging deeper and deeper uncovering fantastic new realisations and discoveries. In our world there is an unquenchable thirst for knowledge in science, business and our private lives. But does this quest for knowledge lead anywhere? Does it advance who and what we are?...

Divine synchronicity


What is 'Synchronicity' and how does it work?
To me acts of synchronicity are circumstances of apparent chance coincidence that are in fact orchestrations by the universe designed to reveal a message or guidance...

"Denial is not a river in Egypt"


How do we overcome our addictions?
Decided to give up tea, alcohol or chocolate or to let go of that relationship that is no longer working? Are you applying a method to your endeavours or are you just hoping that your resolve will be strong enough? In my experience, mind lead resolutions simply deny what we are truly feeling and only a deeply honest confrontation and unravelling of our emotions can yield lasting change...

The dangers of hypnotherapy

Can hypnotherapy be harmful?
I once overheard a lady expressing how powerful hypnotherapy can be. In recent years she had been grinding her teeth and so her doctor had taught her a self hypnosis technique to prevent it. I couldn’t help but ask “so why were you grinding your teeth in the first place?” to which she replied “because I hate my job and it stresses me out”!...

"Better rhythm than discipline"

Has your discipline descended into drudgery?
Traditional thinking would have us believe that discipline is a good thing. Whether it be in sports, business or our private lives, commitment to a cause is mostly the only way to yield a positive result and so discipline is considered a powerful quality to ensure we manifest those things we are meant to. But does discipline lead to dogma? Does it not confine us to a particular set of actions and thoughts? Is there another way of looking at discipline that does not restrict us but empowers us?

"It's good not to talk"

Are your words better than your silence would have been?
There is a BT advert that says "it's good to talk" - well they would say that wouldn't they? Conversely a great indian Swami once told me it's much better to listen, “God gave us two eyes, two ears, two nostrils and only one mouth! If we would only keep it closed more, then we would be more aware of what is truly going on around us"...
