When I was not yet born, or even a thought in someone's mind, my parents set an intention to go on a journey. This was long before I knew what it was to watch the birth of my small tabby kitten who was named Tashi after a wise Tibet...

Our Secret to Surviving Winter - Three Simple Steps to Take to Uplift Yourself

The Secret to Surviving Winter It is most definitely winter. Your days are short and nights are long. Here in the UK the sunlight is fleeting. The toneless skies are the same colour as the grey tarmac roads. The parks are waterlogged and muddy. How do you become more enlivened in these cold and dark months? We often find the peop...

In Service 5 questions for living an inspired life.

Tonight at 8pm GMT (1pm PST, 4pm EDT).

Autumn is drawing in, here in the UK, the days are getting shorter and much cooler. I'm feeling in a cosy, hunkering down mood today after a very busy few weeks and need to connect to a greater stillness inside in preparation for the week ahead. How about you?

So tonight I thought I'd lead an impromptu half hour meditation and reconnection Live here on Facebook and on Instagram.

Saying yes isn't about pleasing or being nice, or dropping your boundaries, it's about being a yes to what you already know you instinctively need. This can sound like a 'No' to someone receiving it, but done with a deep connection to the heart and with love will not hurt them, only liberate yourself and the people you come into contact with. The journey is working on that connection within yourself to listen to that inner voice, hold that heart connection strongly and expressing your yes cleanly and clearly.

The Yes that sounds like No. Saying your true yes isn't about pleasing or being nice, it's a yes from your soul. The soul desire cleanly and clearly expressing itself.

Integrating Our Inner Autumn.

Before, winter was here with it's quiet and stark stillness. More darkness as the natural world (for that is what we are) rested more fully. Dormancy and a greater pause is what it called forth in this time. And then spring came with her paintbrush of germinating life-force that insists in colouring it all in, in her very own way. The lusciousness of new life and new growth that is as beautiful and unstoppable and growing and nurturing as we know it to be, and then so much more so. She shows us things, this beautiful maiden - brings to light the new, whether we like it or not. Then comes the bright summer rays as they illuminate and heat provide the power source to go higher and higher - and sometimes higher still. Expansion, through the heat and the sweat, it's dance dry and intense. Here we throw off our clothes and walk barefoot on the land, swim in the waters, both actual and metaphorical. We feel it as much as our capacity allows. More and more. Open and up. Wide and vast. Sometimes burning up. Touching the edges of life.

But like everything that is of a cycle, and so everything we know, it moves and changes and at some point needs to come down again. What rises must fall, what expands must contract, what heats must cool.

The incredible pulse of life.

So now autumn (or fall). How present to this can we now...
