Become a Master Sailor
Like the master sailor who uses the powerful energy of the wind to sail her boat where she wants to go, appreciating the direction and force. Never trying to change what she cannot, but using her skill for what is possible on her journey with the tools and knowledge she has. And not trying to…
Anger,Fear and Peace – Part 2
The core of all of us spiritual beings is made of the energies of love, peace, purity, power and joy. As we move through time, that core, vibration if you like, is covered in the dust of the habits we acquire to protect this love, peace, purity, power and joy. Over time, we forget how…

Appreciation, The Art of Thinking
Appreciation, The Art of Thinking Today is a good day. A walk by the sea, the cold, fresh air, invigorating as I move, snug in my warm coat and stout shoes. The sun shines. I breathe deeply with good health. There are other people out and about and polite exchanges are made as we pass…

Through meditation, we begin to emerge and enhance a whole new set of skills to manage, enjoy and thrive in our lives. Anyone can emerge these skills if they want to. Everyone can benefit, wherever they are in the world, whatever they are doing, whoever they are if…
