Meditation, Yoga, Contemplation, Prayer, Chanting, Karakia, Kirtan, Exercise, Dance, Walking, Quiet time, Rest etc… can all be forms of spiritual connection in this modern world. The names and forms are different, but the similarities are in the spiritual process. The process of balancing of our individual selves with the larger whole. Any type of prayer […]
Meditative Art – [Sacred] This one came through from the ‘Ancient Keepers’ About keeping ourselves Sacred. As it came through it reminded me of all the times I have made choices in my life that took me away from my sacred self. On reflection these were times when I was busy, stressed, took the ‘easy […]
I think it is really helpful to teach any young child ‘how to pray’ and I don’t mean in the old-fashioned religious way. I mean in the ‘there is an eternal natural balance based in goodness, which we are part of and can tune into’ and this tuning in can clear any unease we feel, […]
I often have the feeling in meditation that I am being ‘fed’ energetically, like energy is pouring in, and I can just relax and soak it up. It comes in direct, bypassing my normal thought channels. Through the process sometimes a new thought will form, but from the incoming energy, not from my older regular […]
How about, just for fun, we looked at our lives as a series of (or one big) mathematical problem, that we go about our lives attempting to solve. We ponder, work and strive to solve these problems. To get to the point where we feel; I’ve got it, I’ve done it, that’s tidy, finished, […]
‘Working for God’ is a feeling, a consciousness, a place where we are naturally balanced, living authentically and with a grounded true purpose.

Resisting Reality. What does that mean? The term came to me one day as I realised how many of our sufferings come from the resistance we have to just what is really happening. Really and Truly happening in our lives. We feel, think and have hunches about things but we don’t want to believe them, […]
I have heard too many times.……. ‘I don’t believe in God. There is no God. God is only for people who need a sense of security. God starts all wars. God is a human made conception to keep people in line……believing in God is ridiculous in this scientific day and age’ And you know what, […]
Learning to live a spiritually minded life is like learning a new language. ‘Spirit’ is by its very nature invisible, in the realm of intuition, faith, feeling and energy and we use different senses to learn and work with this side of life. Not the well-known senses of sight, hearing, taste and smell but beyond […]
Living a balanced life means ‘tuning in’ every day. Tuning into our true balance, with the earth, with nature, our communities, our relationships and ultimately ourselves. When we tune in every day, we allow time for the recognition of the balance that is ‘already there’. With tuning in we give ourselves time and space for […]
