Healing and Transformation

What are you most afraid of? I’ll admit it, I’m afraid too. Sometimes the world terrifies me. How can one be conscious and not be deeply moved by the suffering of human beings and Nature, the destruction of Mother Earth in the name of a profit, the majority of which is not shared, but instead…

Human beings and our current political systems see it as a “human right” to restructure the biosphere, because that is what the economy dictates. Business interests that commit acts of destruction on the environmental system are supported because they provide jobs. Governments and politicians turn a blind eye because they really don’t know what else to…

  Haruko Murakami’s words are echoing in my head….“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through.” (a reminder, a warning, a comfort…) We stand at a crossroads. Our very survival as a species now hangs in the balance. Even the greatest fears are now arising, coming to the surface,…

Dormant rainbow spirits are awakening; they cannot be forever suppressed. We are doing our best to keep the old systems working and the ‘new’ at bay. We have been taught to fear change, and react with terror at the mere thought of chaos. What if everything we have been taught about ourselves is wrong? What…

What is holism and why is it so important? ‘Holism’ is a philosophy as described by Aristotle – “The whole is more than the sum of its parts.” The term was first used by the Jan Smuts in his 1926 book, Holism and Evolution. Smuts defined ‘holism’ as “The tendency in nature to form wholes that…

The mistake of Western “scientific” thinking is that there is a singular truth – a singular answer that can be broken down into composite parts. The building blocks of Western civilisation have been ‘reductionist’ thought-forms in their observance and attitude. ‘Reductionism’ is a practice of describing complex phenomena by reduction to their fundamental parts. As…

The United States has the highest numbers of people (per capita) in prison in the world! It has nearly 5 percent of the world’s population yet currently imprisons nearly 25 percent of the world’s prisoners.  1 in every 31 adults in the USA (7.3 million) is behind bars, or on probation or parole (2009). 743 adults per 100,000…

Our belief in the ‘known’ has stifled our ability to respond to the ‘unknown.’ To change our approach and become explorers, requires letting go of needing to know all the answers. This in turn takes the weight off our shoulders, and we can allow nature to guide us, instead of seeing nature as our “enemy”…

Ho’oponopono (ho-o-pono-pono) is an ancient Hawaiian prayer made up of four powerful phrases: “I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.” I’ve used this successfully in the past, and will continue to do so. Who says one needs complicated practices!? It promotes taking responsibility for everything in one’s life and the whole…

Jesus comes to me at night when I sleep. He is not only the Jesus of the Bible. He is a living Jesus, a living essence, a living soul – vibrant and very much alive. Jesus is an Ascended Master. An Ascended Master is both World Teacher and Spiritual Healer. It means he served all of humanity…
