WHEN MEDITATION IS HARD
Sometimes we can be pushing so hard to find what is right for ourselves that we miss the fact that it is right under our noses. For me, this truth was highlighted earlier today. I’m a meditation therapist. I have meditated in very many ways for decades, mostly not realising that what I was doing…
WHAT DO I WANT?
I have a friend with the most amazing mind. She holds immense knowledge and spends hours contemplating all kinds of things which my mind wouldn’t even give a passing thought to without her asking the question first. The topics are wide ranging. Things dealing with how we travel through this life, physically, emotionally, and spiritually;…
PRECIOUS THINGS
There are things in life that are precious. They stay with us throughout our lives, sometimes in physical form, sometimes only in memory. They glow in the times of love and laughter and manage to survive the pain of darker times. I’m not talking about precious stones or gold or money I am talking about…
BUCKET LIST
I never heard the term ‘bucket list’ until decades after I made my first entry on what was to become my personal bucket list. I was very young at the time and watched an elderly couple as they walked hand-in-hand down the street. The man said something to the woman and she looked directly at…
Tonight I cried….
Tonight I cried. Almost 30 years ago I stopped playing the piano and the reason I stopped was because I had become obsessive about playing just two pieces – House of the Rising Sun by The Animals and Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata.

Pain and Angels
It’s been a strange couple of days. Chronic pain, in one form or another, has been with me for most of my life. In the very early years it could be said to have been self-inflicted… I was a ballet dancer and pain seemed to go with the joy of dance. Bleeding toes, cramped feet,…
ALL OUR YESTERDAYS
What happened to yesterday? And how did we suddenly find ourselves on a roller-coaster heading at high speed towards Christmas? Many of us are still recovering from February!! Yes, I know I am getting older, and I have been warned all my life that time will become a lot more slippery as the number of…
A Magic Day
There is magic in the air – if you know where to look and, more importantly, how to look. The last two hours of my life have been filled with such magic. It started mid-afternoon when I went into my meditation room. I chose a green crystal to hold, had my phone next to me…
Grandmother Crow
“Forty-three! Forty-three generations of my family have lived in these woods, and now, all one hundred and seventy four of us are homeless.” Grandmother Crow, lineage keeper of her family was angry. How can she pass on The Knowledge of the Family when the family no longer has a place to call home. She turned…
