Greater consciousness, transcendence, the divine – call it what you will, it is all around us, all the time. We can connect to this incredible experience of super connectedness, of joy, love and the great oneness that unifies everything whenever we choose. But only if we learn how.

The Music Inside
We are such stuff as music is made of. We are composed of vibrations; of waves of energy that ebb and flow, and particles that leap and jiggle. A few years ago, social worker Dan Cohen discovered that music could unlock the minds of shut down, depressed and inert alzheimers and dementia patients, (mostly people…
A New Leaf
Laura has been pelting me with leaves recently. Several times walking down the street, a beautiful leaf has floated into my hand. Once in the subway, a giant golden leaf shaped like a hand circled me on the platform. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Unless she can be super-creative this winter with…
The Circle of Kindness
What a difference a day makes. Four little acts of kindness helped nudge me out of my funk yesterday. First my mum phoned and said ‘Just come home dear, we’ll look after you!’ I can’t tell you how sweet and heartening it is to have parents who still want to look after you even when…

It worked for that other 70s icon Carly Simon, who uses it for her depression…
Anxiety and Biking
Laura -Recently I’ve been suffering from lots of anxiety about how different my life has become. I’m no longer working, living in a different place, afraid I’ll lose my business, worried about having enough money to get through 2 years of this treatment and how I’ll support myself in the future. I’ve also got in touch…
Meditation and Cancer
Gregory Colbert Laura – I started meditating at the age of 17 with Transcendental Meditation. I would sit in bed repeating my mantra and fall asleep. So much for meditation. Over the years I would try to connect with a Higher Power, the Universe, whatever you want to call it but always had a hard…
