It’s Stopped Raining
I had one of those moments the other day, that was so simple it slipped over into profound. It had been raining as I strolled down my local High Street, and I had my umbrella up. I was about to cross paths with a woman when she looked at me, smiled and said, “It’s not

Journal Prompt – 40 Years
I realised today, that I could live another 40years. 40 years. Once you reach a certain age, time can feel more finite, so many more years known than to know. Tell me, if 80 or even 85, were your top number, the end of your ride, so to speak – how many

The Art of Being Yourself
There is a phenomenon that will occur in your life, it will descend on you unexpectedly and repeatedly. You’ll wake up one day and make a discovery. An insight so profound and yet so glaringly obvious that you’re unsure if you really have not noticed it before. It’s familiar, even if you cannot place it.

Night Sky
Meditative, I bid the universe, show me something beautiful. I needed nothing else, and so I gifted free reign to an experience of wonder. Show me, something beautiful. Immediately, night sky. I, standing level with it, penthouse view. Lights shining beneath, far, wide. Yellow, red, in windows, towers, streets. A galaxy of lives.

Say Goodbye To Problem Heavy Friends
This year, take the radical step of identifying the people in your life who are problem-heavy. People for whom most exchanges with you present as an opportunity to discuss problems they have no real intention of fixing. People who cannot see you clearly through their own looping story of self-pity. Stand strong in the knowledge

From Healing To Healed
There comes a time on your journey when you have to switch from being ‘the one who is healing’ to ‘the one who is healed’. There is a moment, when regardless of your physical or emotional health, you have to eat, walk, dance, love, as though all former setbacks have completed their lessons, have

You Have Got to Go All The Way
In coaching, you have got to go all the way. You have got to talk about the feelings, thoughts and experiences that present themselves. The ones that have you believing there is a choice, over whether or not they matter. To awaken the relationship with that part you so desperately want to heal, to grow, to

Convoi Exceptionnel
On long trips I sometimes see vehicles with the words Convoi Exceptionnel written on them. Whilst the translation may not be very elegant, in French the words for me always evoke a sense of glamour and mystique. I wonder how different life might be if we each navigated the world clearly marked by how much care and

Human Design
I first came into contact with Human Design maybe about nine or ten years ago. I didn’t pay very much attention to it at all. If anything, I thought it was just another system, another mechanism someone, somewhere, had invented in order to profile and box people. It seemed like a lazy answer, a crutch

RSVP
I invite you to explore who you are without shame. To welcome the parts you have repressed and diluted. To step into the entirety of your body, the expressions you have buried for the safety of an illusion. I invite you to expect more from the people in your life, the ones you love and

On Friendship
There are some friendships that evolve over time and others that end with hardly any time passing at all. Trust your first impressions of people; trust who you feel compelled to be when around them, and what parts of you are not welcome in the shared space. Pay close attention to the balance of efforts

Is This Spiritual Life Worth it?
There are times on your journey into self when you’re going to feel very alone. You’re going to feel like you’ve drawn the short straw and why, oh why, can’t you be less complicated? Why can’t you be like the sheep you see daily, who have not experienced the awakenings or downloads of

Are Intrusive Thoughts A ‘Spiritual Issue?’
I’ve been part of a few conversations in the last year or so that have centred around intrusive thoughts. People have asked me whether I believe it’s a spiritual issue, if I think it’s inner demons that can be eradicated with the right approach, or if these troublesome thoughts are common to us all in

Where To Start On Your Spiritual Journey
There are multiple entry points into a life that consciously follows a spiritual path. For some, the route is one of enthusiasm and expectation, hearts so full with positivity that communion with higher planes of existence is the only means of release. For others it’s the extremities of trauma that will crack them open.

Dancing With Your Patterns
Instead of viewing patterns as unchanging reactions that have us careening from one disaster to the next, it’s helpful to see them as multi-faceted parts of ourselves. Ones that are in constant vibration, willing either to be left on course or interrupted. Imagine, if you will, yourself as the grand ballroom in which various parts

“Give Me A Minute To Compose Myself.”
Where did we learn, that it is necessary to compose ourselves, to pull together the framework of a calm self that others are expecting to see? If we aim to have honest hearts, what stops us from speaking truer sentences, from stating our desires more accurately? Give me a minute, to repress everything I
