Happy Diwali 24

Light Up Your Life – Happy Diwali

Light Up Your Life – Happy Diwali This weekend I had the privilege of visiting the Diwali celebrations at Trafalgar Square in London.  It was expected that some 30,000 people would be attending through-out the day, and it certainly looked like that many!! Thanks to the Mayor of London and the Government of the UK, Diwali […]

The Hidden Message

The Hidden Message I would like to continue the theme of energy work from my previous article, ‘Raising Consciousness’.  Let’s take a closer look at: What’s really going on when we are doing what we are doing?    Let me explain: When we go for a walk for example, is it just about exercise and […]

Raising Consciousness

Raising Consciousness Truly we have become disconnected from Nature and many have stopped appreciating Her mighty works.  Time is turning and showing us that we need to become more thoughtful.  I want to talk about being mindful and raising our awareness, joining the dots so to speak. Every time we buy or use something let […]

The Root of Fear

  The Root of Fear “Lying is the obvious form of dishonesty but, actually, making excuses is worse.  While falsehoods are usually noticeable, it can be a long time before I realize that I am making excuses.  A lot of life can be wasted by this deception.” Dadi Janki “Where there is honesty there is […]

Emotional Eruptions

Emotional Eruptions Emotional eruptions are very similar to volcanic eruptions.  Both emerge from deep below the surface and destroy everything in their path. During a volcanic eruption the lava can flow at a speed of up to 100 mph.  Do our emotions also not feel the same at times? Don’t we feel those emotions are […]

Rejection

Rejection How does rejection make us feel?  What is the emotional pain and disturbance we experience?  Rejection is a very painful feeling and I wish it on no one. It’s the experience of not belonging and included by others.  The emotional pain comes from being refused, pushed out, side-lined and not accepted.  So what is […]

Attached?

Attached? If the vice of ego gives us the false feeling of security, and the vice of greed gives us the false feeling of contentment, then the vice of attachment gives us the false feeling that we are enough. But we are not, we are still empty. Attachments are, well, things we are attached to. […]

Dress Up … Not Down

Dress Up … Not Down Once a British man asked Swami Vivekananda, “Why can’t you wear trousers and a shirt and tie and look like a gentleman?” Swami Vivekananda smiled and said: “In your culture, a tailor makes a gentleman; but, in ours, character makes a gentleman.” Earlier this week we visited Blenheim Palace, a […]

Bhavna and Bhasna

Bhavna and Bhasna Bhavna and Bhasna are two Hindi words that speak volumes.  It’s the experience of these two words that is so important in our daily living, and enhance our experience of life.  Let me attempt to explain their meanings to you. Bhavna means the pure feelings one has for anyone or anything in […]

Context is King

Context is King There is a reason why we are where we are, and there is a reason why we have certain people in our lives.  Believe it not, you, yes you, (and I) attracted these souls into our life. These souls are part of our life to help us learn our greatest of life’s […]

Some of the Things I Am Grateful For in Life

Some of the Things I Am Grateful For in Life “When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.”  Willie Nelson I am grateful for the sun and for the light and warmth the sun provides.  If there is no sun, I am grateful for the clouds that give us rain and enable […]

Breaking Habits

Breaking Habits “Our life is the creation of our mind.” Buddha It’s important to look into different ways of doing things, simply because we are unaware of our habits, and we get so used to doing things in the same way.  We become trapped in our patterns, we fail to take the time to step […]
