I’ve been watching the film The Living Matrix — very exciting about different kinds of healing available to us all right now. Googling different things after, I just discovered this lovely practice from the Institute of HeartMath. Try it and experience how you do indeed e-a-s-e as you stop and notice what is happening inside…

Yesterday on my free teleclass I was asked a very pertinent question. I had suggested that when you aren’t feeling good, you put yourself into a place of inner safety. The question was: how do you do that?
Now for time reasons I hadn’t gone into exactly how to do that on the call, but reflecting afterwards I realised that this is a crucial part of my own spiritual practice and what I therefore bring to my own business. When I am in a place of fear, anxiety, worry, or just tightness and tension, it is very tempting to think that ‘more’ will solve whatever problem I am facing, ie more clients, more money, more time, more ease and flow [read more]
I was sitting in Cluny sanctuary this morning, part of the Findhorn Foundation, attending the 6.30am silent meditation, which lasts for an hour. There were about 12 of us there, all sitting on chairs or meditation cushions; sometimes the quality of the silence is so pure it is that in itself that is nourishing.
Not today though! Someone was practicing heavy breathing, or so it seemed to me. She was breathing in, holding the breath, and then breathing out. Not the end of the world, you might think, but in a silent atmosphere, it is very noisy!
What was interesting though was the effect it had on me — I was so furiously angry that I began harbouring violent fantasies [read more]
Yesterday I was giving a tour round the Findhorn Foundation, Scotland, and just before I set off, Richard in the Visitors Centre handed me a copy of Paul Hawken’s commencement address to the Class of 2009 at the University of Portland, Oregon.
“Read it”, he said, “it’s incredible, really inspiring!”
“Is it the same Paul Hawken who visited Findhorn in the seventies and wrote The Magic of Findhorn?” I said.
And indeed it is. That book is out of print, but at the time it was famous for telling the world about the enormous vegetables being grown at Findhorn at the time, which led to the huge community expansion that happened in those years. Paul has since then written [read more]
I have used the principles I write about here in RichThinkers to bring about all kinds of things in my life, including running a successful counselling practice and health clinic business. Coming from a place of inspiration has enabled me to bring meaning and magic into all that I do, and my background in psychotherapy and counselling, combined with practical business skills, means I am uniquely positioned to help you in both the inner and the outer levels of success.

Hafiz poem: Someone Untied Your Camel

This morning in our morning attunement meeting (when each of us in the community here at Newbold House states how they are, after a reading from a choice of inspirational authors, and before we look at the work of the community for the day), I chose to read a poem by Sufi author and poet, Hafiz. From his book ‘The Gift’, translation by Daniel Ladinsky, I realised just how precious this way of starting the day is to me.
In fact, this meeting happens at 9am, after I have already been meditating and singing some songs from Taize. Of course I don’t do this routine absolutely everyday, but I do notice that when I don’t, the rest of the day [read more]
