Life-force Energy and Chakras
What is the life force that gives us innate healing? With our lives being so busy how often do we stop to appreciate our internal energy, innate healing and lifeforce? If we get a paper cut it magically heals without us ‘doing’ anything. We can just take this for granted, BUT, it is actually miraculous - just like Harry Potter's ‘repairiosum’ spell! But what is the life force that gives us this innate healing, this breath of life and keeps us alive? Although we rely on this 'energy' entering our … [Read more...] about Life-force Energy and Chakras

7 tips to stay healthy this winter
Autumn is here - although let’s not let our health fall. I was out running this morning and although we are still having beautiful sunshine filled days, the weather is turning and there was a nip in the air which actually felt lovely.

We need warm food, root veggies, stews and soups to give our … [Read more...] about 7 tips to stay healthy this winter

The solution for illness is often not where you think it is
I've been busy rewriting the Foundation Course manuals with the help of the amazing Nora Zimerman Design Studio. Going through the manuals with a fine tooth comb is a huge job, but one great thing to come out of it (other than having completely up-to-date and great looking manuals) is how interlinked the body is and in ways that science has not caught up with yet. The solution for illness is often not where you think it is. Do you have random symptoms that Doctors can't work out? So many people … [Read more...] about The solution for illness is often not where you think it is

The Importance Of Emotional Well-Being
Why are we obsessed with having more? I have seen emotional well-being take a dramatic nosedive over my career, particularly with young people. Life is faster than ever, pressured, overloaded, with constant noise and stimulation which can be overwhelming. Does it lead to inner happiness? The obsession with having more and more stuff NOW! Together with the 'all about me' attitude, which often starts from a very young age. Does not, in my opinion, lead to inner peace and 'real' happiness. … [Read more...] about The Importance Of Emotional Well-Being
