BEAUTY . Abstract art aqua marine background with blues greys and magenta by Mark Ross A beginner’s mind is open to deep truths in life, open hearted and not attached to something in a way that interferes with our destiny. In the Andean shamanic tradition, this is called walking with beauty. Being present in Munay (love) with a tenderness for all living things. As Keats says in An Ode on a Grecian Urn  when exoloring beauty and truth: “‘Beauty is truth, truth beauty, — that

When we are consumed with GUILT. Guilt often appears when our focus or attention narrows into story— and we become fixated on what should have happened, what could have been different, or who we believe we needed to be. Can you remember the first time you felt the sharp edges of guilt? Your own personal verdict. That memory and all the others flood back when you feel the sensation once more, each and every time you believe it and you condemn yourself. How do we see guilt diff

Forest track with two people walking a dog, one is riding a disabled buggy. Are you stuck in the sad and the scary in life, or feeling free? Life doesn't always turn out as you expect it to and sometimes we find ourselves in an emotional bind, slightly stuck or even rock solid! The more we focus here, the stronger the bind appears to be. Let’s call this stuck tricky spot BLUE. I had a client once who came to me burning with anger over a work colleague, up until this appoint

Sea storm by Tomasi Enzo Are we are all searching for something - or have you reached the pinnacle of life knowing that you already are everything you are looking for? Who are you? Who is the one reading my blog? We are human beings created in pure love (I can hear you snorting) although it's true. We are often so lost in the experiences of our day to day life that this unconditional love is veiled, hidden by all the layers of sensing life, perceiving, reacting, judging, crea

One of the most incredible sights in the whole universe is a child experiencing awe and wonder. Their tiny face is like a miniature constellation, all lit up and sparkly. They are fully absorbed and present to whatever captures their attention. When was the LAST TIME you were so absorbed? Simply Being our true nature in the moment. We are all capable of this wondrous way of being where all thoughts fall away and we suddenly see something in all its beauty and magnificence. T

Photo by Krenua Zapiatkua It's a new year once more and perhaps you are returning from a holiday to whatever normal life looks like for you. Our world appears REAL . . . but is it truly? Our perception is the basic process of taking in information through our senses and interpreting what it means. It is how we navigate our environment by noticing sights, sounds, textures, and other sensory details. Most of the time, it happens automatically, shaping how we understand and

Transformative coaching through the lens of spiritual psychology.

I have so much false bravado at this time of year - not wishing to spoil anyone's fun, yet this pushing down my suffering, grief or worry is becoming less and less. How? I know about a space that feels calm and quiet and truthful. My Inner Sanctuary. Finding Your Inner Sanctuary: Sharing An Easier Option When Your World is in Holiday C

To and fro we travel daily through life! Sometimes aware and mostly unaware, especially when take up our mental capacity It’s a simple question, isn’t it? We ask it all the time. "How's it going?" The answer is usually a quick "Fine, thanks, you?"   But I want you to pause for a moment and ask yourself, truly. How is it really going?   Perhaps, on the surface, everything looks perfect.

The purest expression of yourself is the one that is most free, the one that makes you feel alive, fully immersed, and in effortless flow. It begins with a willingness to explore what lies beyond the confines of the intellect—beyond the fleeting grasp of emotion or conditioned patterns. It begins by observing yourself, your habits, your rhythms, the unconscious movements that shape your days. How do these words reach you? Are you sensing an openness, a curiosity? Do you feel

Life can bring difficulties, challenges and pain for us all, times when the beautiful motions of the heart stand still, hovering over an event in your life that vacuums the very soul from you. I am sitting at my desk on a beautiful March day looking back at how far my grief and I have walked. I am a traveller on a sacred journey through this one shining day. Richard Wagamese.
