Abundance of Spirit

I love dragonflies. I love the shimmer of their iridescent wings and how they can zoom in any direction (including sideways and backwards) helicopter-style.  But last weekend, I had 11 land on me (I’ve never had one land on me before). It all happened in less than 15 minutes, as I sat on my friend…

Snowman

‘Send me something lovely,’ I asked Laura as I walked into Carl Schurz park, just after one of the March Nor’Easter’s. There was a few inches of snow on the ground and I felt in need of cheering up. If you follow this blog you’ll know that since my wife Laura passed I sometimes say…

Be Love

  Be in the world as a representation of love rather than hate. – Abraham Hicks

Subway Karma

I am starting to believe that every little thought and action, no matter how small, has an echo, a response from the universe.  Every little act of generosity, every little act of grumpiness or negativity pings back at us almost immediately.  I suspect once you start to look for it, you’ll start noticing too.  My…

The Guru Within

The guru that you’ve been looking for is within.  Everything that you need is here inside.  All the answers and all the guidance.  You just have to listen. Still the mind and listen, and feel your own truth. I’ve spent much of my life looking for someone to guide me, to give me clues and…

The Reset Button

Wow.  January was a bummer.  It felt flat, colorless as if all the air had suddenly been sucked out of my life.  I am not a depressive sort.  At first I wondered if Laura had upped and left after 3 years.  Her time was up and she was gone.  I felt suddenly bereft and alone….

Everyday Karma

I used to think karma played out over a large time span, maybe over several lives.  And during my past-life regression in 2014, I certainly got to see how my bad behavior in one past life, hitting someone over the head with a stone (admittedly after they killed my baby), eerily played out in this…

Our Super Power

People say trust your gut. But I think we also ought to be trusting our hearts too.  They emit a signal which is more powerful than anything else in the body.   Recent research has found that ‘the heart has the ability to generate an electromagnetic field (EMF) that is 5,000 times the EMF of…

One Love

The hardest thing to get my head around spiritually is the idea that we are all one.  It makes perfect sense sitting on my meditation cushion when I’m all Ommm and Zen, but out in the street…well not so much. But recently I’ve tried something,  a simple little act that has been shining up the…

The Measure of Success

‘Are you a parking garage?’ the voice said on the phone. When I said ‘No!’, he sounded very disappointed.   How I laughed at the silly surreal-ness of it afterwards.  It was just the break I need in an otherwise colorless day. After three weeks away, it is easy to come home and start tidying…

What If…

What if every drop of love and joy you feel affects and expands the pool of human consciousness; bringing more joy and light into the world? And what if every drop of anger, fear and anxiety does the same; creating more of those destabilizing emotions? Then wouldn’t the best way to improve the world be…

Longevity

My dear dad is 89, sharp as a tack and my mum says he has a head like a rock from his early years playing soccer (lots of time spent heading the ball).  This turns out to be a vital asset in later years. Last week he fell down the steps outside a little seaside…

The Art of Soothing

I’ve come to believe that the ability to self soothe is one of life’s great accomplishments, at least it is for me.  Sometimes I am rubbish at it.  Two nights ago I stayed up til 3 am, my brain like a hamster in a wheel churning away. But then I tuned into Abraham Hicks on Youtube,…

Soul Mate

I just heard Abraham Hicks (a bunch of spiritual entities channeled by Esther Hicks) describe a soul mate like this – ‘A twin flame or a soul mate means you’ve met someone from the same non-physical lineage [the same spirit family]…  with the same vibrational intentions..People often describe it as a ‘coming home’ when they…

The Energy Blanket

The first night after chemo was pretty rough going for my sis. Thankfully she is doing much much better now, but I do wonder how much of her journey has been influenced by all the loving energy from friends, family (and total strangers!) surrounding her. Even if prayer and intentionally channelled love and kindness can’t…
