One of the greatest challenges we face in our development is self-discovery, finding out who we are, being ourselves. We start off innocent children. Inevitably, we encounter people who want us to conform, beginning a power struggle that will follow us throughout our lives at home, school, church, peers, the workplace, etc. Socially, the world seemsContinue reading “Be Yourself”

Hello Again
Forgive me readers. It has been just over a year since my last post. I meant to get in touch sooner. Between moving house, managing four children between the ages of five and two, sporadic appearances by assorted teenagers, work commitments, etc., etc., I just haven’t got around to it until now. Which is notContinue reading “Hello Again”
Tuning in to a Reiki Client
I’ve been writing about awareness this week, and how we tune in to the world around us. Today I thought I’d write about the ways in which I tune in to reiki clients. The first way is the most obvious – speak with your client. Ask how they are feeling, why they are seekingContinue reading “Tuning in to a Reiki Client”
My Feelings? I Thought they Were Yours.
It’s common for people to tell you how they feel about things – relationships, work, politics, brussel sprouts. But it’s actually the other way around – our feelings drive what w e think. For example, brussel sprouts have never actively sought to offend anyone, yet those who have bad feelings towards them (based on input fromContinue reading “My Feelings? I Thought they Were Yours.”
Tuning In/Tuning Out
There’s an old joke about a guy who lives next to a train track all his life. Every night the B&O comes through at about 2 AM, so loud and close that the floor boards rattle in the guy’s house. Of course, he sleeps through it. Then one night the train breaks down five milesContinue reading “Tuning In/Tuning Out”
The Naughty Corner
Saturday morning and my four-year old son is over excited. “I’m getting carried away,” he says, having heard me say it often enough. He’s jumping on the couch, dragging his little sister around the living room, tossing toys, being outside-loud and brash. No badness, just madness. And all the while we’re admonishing, pleading, reasoning (well,Continue reading “The Naughty Corner”
Info Share: Online Guided Chakra Meditations
Chakra meditation is, for me, one of the staples of spiritual development. Like most things, regular practice makes it easier to clear, cleanse and open the chakras, and promotes harmony within yourself and with the multi-dimensional world around you. Usually I take the D.I.Y. approach, letting the meditation take whatever form and direction that seemContinue reading “Info Share: Online Guided Chakra Meditations”
Reiki and the Daily Obstacle Course
Some days seem to be laid out in an obstacle course of hassles and distractions. You wake up with a clear idea of the BIG IMPORTANT THING you want to accomplish today, but you can’t find a matching pair of socks. You finally find the car keys under the sofa, but when you start theContinue reading “Reiki and the Daily Obstacle Course”
Garnish
“I wouldn’t want to work with my wife in a place where there were a lot of knives”, I said. We all laughed – myself and the Chinese couple working in the kitchen of their restaurant. We knew each other well, so we could joke like that. Plus this was a dream. The woman wasContinue reading “Garnish”
Changing the World
From childhood I took for granted that I interacted in the physical world with other people who believed likewise. I wasn’t particularly aware of that, nor did I articulate it consciously – it was just reality. The individuals who populated my corner of the world had more similarities than differences – it was a fairlyContinue reading “Changing the World”
