There is sanctuary, a place free from struggle and strife where all is well. It’s so simple to choose for … and yet so elusive to so many. Here’s the low down.
Just because the world is doing it, doesn’t mean that it’s a good idea – or that you have to. Faster and faster, chasing the cheese, afraid we’ll miss out …? That’s not really a way to live, is it?
We constantly want to see the top of the stairs, what’s around the corner in the future. But it’s impossible. The only practical – and stress free – way of living life is to take it one step at a time.
A great magician is a master of making you believe the unreal is real. The trouble is that our minds do this to us constantly; we can get stuck living in a dream-world.
Spiritual satisfaction doesn’t often link with practical effectiveness in life. Yet the two are inextricably linked. Here’s why – and how to have both – so simply.
Imagine if freedom from over-thinking and reacting was a simple and straightforward matter of learning the right tools? Imagine if you could choose to get out of the past and future, and anchor yourself in the aliveness of the present moment. Wouldn’t that be lovely?

What counts as success is so shallow and one dimensional in our culture. Finding depth and quality in life and in yourself – and freedom from what other people think – is such a worthwhile journey. But: What else is life about?
When I talk to people about calm, just about everyone says, ‘Oh, I’d love more calm and peace in my life’. But here’s a question for you: Do you know why you don’t have all the calm you want, right now?
You need times of dark to appreciate the light. It’s a popular idea. That peace can only be known in relation to turmoil. But just because it’s popular, doesn’t make it true. Here’s why …
We're always choosing how we see the world – glass half-full or half-empty? Make a different choice and you change what you see, you change your life. But the wildest part is that the world responds to your choice too. How does it work? I have no idea, but …
People think meditation is hard because they think it’s about peace. “How can I find peace in the middle of all the noise and chaos and challenge of my life?”, they think. Here’s where they’re making things much harder than they need to be.
