In recent months I’ve done a lot of experiments consciously sending love to strangers in the subway or in stores and restaurants. And noticing the relaxing, soothing effect. People often turn and smile. So imagine my surprise when I opened Pulitzer prize nominated author Annie Jacobsen’s new book Phenomena. It is about how the US government…
Why Worry?
‘Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to his life.’ – Matthew 6:27 ‘Worrying is using your imagination to create something you don’t want.’ – Abraham
Presence
‘My father was in a coma for six weeks before he died,’ a man told me recently. This man also described how he sat with his father until the end. ‘It was the best thing I ever did,’ he said. He felt there was some intelligence that passed between them wordlessly as they spent time…
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…
Scottish Grit
Both my parents were hospitalized with pneumonia just over a week ago. My mum came into the kitchen to make breakfast and almost immediately collapsed on the floor. When she came round, she asked my dad to call an ambulance. But when the medics arrived, they noticed that my dad was very ill too. He…
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….
Three Years Ago
In a couple of hours, it will be exactly three years since Laura passed. Three years. It seems impossible she has been gone so long. But there is a beautiful symmetry at work. We were together, as a couple, for three years. And now after another three years the pain of her loss has ebbed…
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…
Merry Christmas
Merry Merry Christmas dear loved ones and friends. I am wishing for a joy, love and adventure-filled 2017 for us all. xxxx
In my dreams
These past 3 weeks have been like a dream in Oahu, Sydney, Uluru and Maui. I’ve hiked through a bamboo forest to a 400 foot high waterfall, watched shooting stars in the outback lying in an Aussie swag, followed a path full of red stone hearts around Uluru, visited Shangri-la (the Doris Duke version in…
10 km of hearts
When I walked the 10km around the base of Uluru, I found little heart stones everywhere embedded in the path. It made me laugh. And writing this the lights are flashing at my friend Gill’s house. I’ve been here 5 days and the lights haven’t flashed once…Hearts, birds and flashing lights seem to be surrounding…
