DON'T AVOID CHALLENGES THEY ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVOLUTION AND SUPPORT When we are confronted with a challenge we are often inclined to try and navigate to avoid them, however when we do this we are sidestepping the opportunities for evolution that they offer. Normally we are trying to avoid a loss of some sort, yet we could never loose that which we are. So ultimately the only thing we could ever loose  is what we are not , and that removal will always lighten our load , en

IF WE ALLOW THE STILLNESS WE NOTICE THE SWEETNESS So often we are busily trying to fill our lives with activities and meetings that we forget our appointment with stillness. We we give importance to emptiness we are actually allowing something unexpected to arise rather than filling every moment, we are opening up to the mystery of life and offering it an invitation. In this spaciousness we can recognize the slowly perceptible sweetness that bubbles up and fills these moments

OPEN YOUR HEART AND LET THE JOY OVERFLOW When we are feeling in lack often the choice can be to shut off and close ourselves down to hold on to what we have , yet the problem with this is that the lack we feel is due to us blocking the very expression of who we are , which is love . If we are willing to open our hearts and remove the blockages we have put there the joy we are will overflow outwards. All of us have secret passions yet when we are willing to share them with oth

Free your Heart and your mind will follow The classic line is "Free your Mind and legs will follow " which as a DJ resonated totally with me , yet what I've found is that in order to free your mind one needs to free their heart! When we are willing to use our hearts as the primary guidance system then we are more highly tuned to the synchronization , spontaneity, and guidance that is always coming our way yet rarely given value as a legitimate source of guidance by our minds

When your hands are full trying to grasp they cannot be open to receive If we spend each day figuring out how we can be productive and gain more , we lose sight of the art of receiving. It is a simple fact that if you hand is out in the act of grasping then you are unable to open it when something is being offered to you . The secret is that the universe is always offering you something that is more valuable to your soul than you will acquire from your egos agenda . If this r

DREAMS ARE COMMUNICATIONS FROM YOUR SOUL WRAPPED IN THE MEMORIES OF YOUR MIND When we are visited by dreams in our sleep that profoundly stay with us, like all things that are not immediately understandable by the mind , they are deep communications that can be interpreted by our heart. The mind can so often be confused, with many memories and images, and when we try to make sense of dreams in this way they seem to be surreal and illogical. However the soul is using images t

When one door is closed to us a better one will open When in life the way ahead seems Closed to us we can feel indignant and challenged. We believe that out Freedom is being blocked And can feel called to rise up against this suppression. However The question also arises how can this be serving us?. If we are willing to look carefully we can ask why this diversion has appeared on our path and instead of insisting on continuing the way we feel we have to, we can stop and look

When we open our hearts the riches cannot fail to flood out and bless everyone When we are feeling disconnected and wandering about our place and purpose in the world , it normally seems to be some external situation but ultimately it is because of one thing , we have closed our hearts . Our hearts where designed to be a mechanism for giving and when we close them we have to spend all our energy on holding back there fullness which is exhausting . Our hearts are the conduit

Trust is built through total acceptance of what is and our willingness to make space for honesty to be revealed Trust is the corner stone of all relationships. Without it we are uneasy and unable to build understanding or agreement. Yet how do we build this essential aspect with our friends families and relationships. Quite often we mistakenly believe that to trust someone is for them to do what we want or what we need, but really the basis for trust is honesty. Rather than

TRANSFORMATION Each day is an opportunity to transform all that you are to all you can be. Many of us feel we know who we are we have lived many years and collected an idea of ourselves that we feel somewhat solid about, however whatever that may be and however pleased or unhappy we are about it by holding on to this form we can restrict our evolution. As useful as an identity is in each moment our attachment and pride in the achievement of its creation can blind us to the li

COMPASSIONATE COMMUNICATION CREATES COMPASSIONATE UNDERSTANDING When we wish to communicate with another truthfully about something this can be challenging because it might be at odds with what they wish or what they want to hear , and when we are aware of this it can cause us to potentially water down the authenticity of what we wish to convey and become stuck in the loop of people pleasing. The issue with this is when we are not willing to talk from a place of honesty it th
