Nature Flows With The Changes And Experiences Life Gracefully – We Can Do The Same One thing I have discovered over the past few years is the importance of being flexible. Not only with the day-to-day changes that can take place, but life goals, dreams and our desires in life. I sometimes feel that life gives you unfulfilled desires to encourage you to learn to bend more, to be…
View PostThe author reflects on whether showing our authentic selves at all times is feasible or welcome. Drawing from personal experiences, they suggest that being authentic isn’t just about constant honesty, but knowing when to adapt or ‘shape-shift’ for social harmony. They confront the idea that authenticity must always be kind or wise, instead embracing the full spectrum of their personality, including flaws. The key, they find, is self-acceptance and awareness, which allows for true authenticity and personal growth.
View PostEarly birth experiences, including immediate bonding with the mother or its absence, can significantly influence an individual’s lifelong emotional well-being. Lack of early mother-child connection can lead to issues like anxiety, insecurity, and difficulty in relationships. Understanding and nurturing self-mothering is crucial for personal development, with techniques such as meditation and finding role models in mothering showing potential benefits. Planet-wide, the deficit of mother love might contribute to widespread pain and suffering, indicating the need for global healing through the development of inner maternal love and compassion.
View PostAbout 8-9 years ago I had my first experience of meeting Mother Amma, otherwise known as the ‘hugging saint’. And tonight I had my second experience at a different venue – Alexandra Palace. The way I see Mother Amma is as a human being who fully embodies the mother energy sorely needed on this planet today. She embodies the divine feminine and not just on the surface. She fully…
View PostSometimes I am hesitant to use the word God in blog posts, as everyone comes from different backgrounds, some are religious, some are not, so when I say God I mean life. In a bookshop last week I read a poem on ‘giving’ by Kahlil Gibran and it struck me how conditional I still am in my giving. Kahlil Gibran – On Giving You give but little when you…
View PostHo’oponopono what? Yes, it is a long word, a word I often have to think about when I try to spell it, but a word that describes an ancient Hawaiian healing process. As many of my readers will know I have been experimenting with many different spiritual techniques and healing practices over the past 10 years and more. Ranging from Shamanism, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Law of Attraction – create…
View PostWalking into my local Marks and Spencer’s today, I crossed paths with a lady shopping. I smiled warmly at her and she responded with a grimace. My first initial reaction was to judge her, calling her names like ‘miserable grumpy sod‘, and more inside my head. This was just an old memory being replayed, and within a few minutes I stopped myself in my tracks. It was not her job to…
View PostIt seems a really important time for women in the world. Since last year, women have begun rising up for women’s rights more than ever. Some men have been supporting women in their challenge of abuse, violence and rape, and the general way in which women have been used and abused for centuries. Some very patriarchal cultures, for example India, have a very controlling way of viewing women; very behind…
View PostSo, it’s the New Year. You have things you want to change, new experiences you want to have, old experiences you want to let go of. They may be health-related, relationship changes, financial changes, career changes – any kind of change. New Year’s Eve came. You felt excited, invigorated, full of potential; you smelled the scent of new in the air. Full of vigour, you marched forward into 2013. Expecting…
View PostWow, as I sit here I contemplate what to say. It has been an interesting year, and one where I had to take a break from ‘Kelly Martin Speaks’. Beliefs, thoughts, come and go. We often do not know what will stay or what will cement itself in our consciousness. Some ideas we hold onto, some ideas we let go of. Me, I have let go of a lot, and…
