Let go the idea of yourself
Questions are important
The questions you have are more important than the answers because that is where your potential is. Trust your questions more than your answers. Question some of your conclusions and lean more into the unknown. Adyashanti We are susceptible to accepting certain answers because of the comfort and succour they give us. Hence, it ias...

Faith is not ‘fake it till you make it’
Faith is informed by what we 'see'. It is not mental belief in a concept or deity, nor is it idle 'hope' that things will turn out OK. Faith is an 'experiential knowing’, that comes from seeing Reality for what it truly is. But not the seeing of the physical eyes or intellect. What I'm... Continue Reading →
The path that leads to life
The path leads to a crossing. Are you ready?
Lights, Camera, Action!
Perspective is good for the soul from time to time. Shakespeare is quoted as saying 'life is a stage, and we are all actors on it'? Perhaps it is time to wake up from the illusion that the drama in our lives really matter. They don’t in the grand scheme of things. ‘Be still and... Continue Reading →
Does it feel like the end of your world?
Sometimes our fearful and limited mind perceives and interprets situations we face as being 'world ending' or 'soul crushing'! Despite our best efforts, there seems no way out and no silver linning in the cloud. Depression and anxiety can feel like this too. The darkness, the pain and the anquish is real. But there can...

However, an alternative approach is to view LIFE AS A JOURNEY with no accidents or mistakes,... Continue Reading →

Dancing in the rain
Often, we don't have control over the timing, nature and location of the storms that arise within or around us. However, we can choose to put our lives on hold by focusing on the storm, OR press on regardless by consciously and deliberately focusing on the positives instead. Brolly anyone? Let's go dancing in the... Continue Reading →
A different take on time
You didn't pass through the year 2022. The year 2022 passed through you. How is that for a thought? You are situated in the NOW - the ever constant moment. Like a conveyor belt, everything (events, thoughts and perceptions) flows through you. The mind's layering of these is perceived as time. It feels real enough,... Continue Reading →
What signals are you sending out?
A call to reflect on the power of your intentions and true motives. As the New Year 2023 steps unto the stage, do consider that your intentions (and motivation), whether conscious or unconscious, are a powerful signal emitted out into the Universe. Our intentions work like a homing beacon that attracts (or repels) things, people,... Continue Reading →
