Are You Addicted To Drama? Just notice how attracted the mind is to special effects, drama, and speeded-up versions of life. Our thoughts and fantasies are not very satisfying or fulfilling. Like watching television for hours on end, they leave us feeling empty. You can never get enough of what does not satisfy. ~ Nirmala There is a ‘soap opera’ in the UK called EastEnders. It has one of…
View PostDo not read on if you are not ready to be challenged. I rarely watch the news or read the news, but sometimes I stumble upon something happening and it engages me for a while.

View PostSo many of us are not actually on this planet even though we may think we are. We are elsewhere thinking about the future, reminiscing about the past or doing a multitude of other things, but how physically present are any of us? I walk everywhere as we haven’t got a car and I rarely get the bus so I am very physical, yet this week I discovered I am…
View Post*This is a follow up post to ‘ Shadow Totems’ HERE It is clear to say that a few years ago I used to be an insectiphobe. Creepy crawlies creeped me out. Bee and wasps terrified me, cockroaches still do and alien looking creatures gave me chills. Thankfully most of that has changed as I began to realise the things we fear have a lot to teach us. Many fears…
View PostSo you may be looking at this blog post thinking ‘What on earth is a Reviber?’. And yes it looks a little strange until you understand what it actually does. A little while ago I tried a Reviber at a Mind, Body, Spirit festival and was so blown away I just had to experience more and see what else it could do. So What Is The Reviber Bodywave?…
