The Essence Of Shamanism
Shamanism is humanity’s oldest spiritual tradition, dating back some 35,000 years to the first signs of human consciousness. It is not a religion, but a spiritual technique – a visionary technique of journeying “outside of time” to the spirits for the purposes of healing and problem solving. This works for people of all varieties of religious and spiritual orientations...

Crystal Healing
I have lost count of the times I have been asked ‘How do I become a healer’. I truly believe that everyone has the potential to heal another. The only obstacle in their way, is themselves. With some it is skepticism, with others, it is a lack of self assurance, but for most, it is the misconception that healing requires some scary level of magic or...

The Fire Of Love
Love, is all consuming a fire that can not be extinguished by human hands. To desire and to be desired, to care and be cared for. A kind of madness that takes the mind in a fever of intent as no other emotion can command. A vision of physical love. Spiritual love is a love that transcends the physical, it is as intoxicating to the senses, but of a different fire....

Hitting The Right Note
As a healer, I like to explore and use a variety of techniques and tools to promote and amplify the healing energy. These can range from using the power of colour in visualisation to the exquisite tone and vibrational range of the Tibetan singing bowl. Sound healing is a beautiful method of energy clearing & balancing, and can be used as a support for other treatments in the...

I thought you might like to know a little more about dreams and their interpretation, so thought I would share some of the information I have read with you. It may also encourage more of you to share, and maybe take note of things in your dreams, like colour,texture, time of day and how the dream made you feel. For example, happy, sad, scared, curious etc. All these things are actually very...

Common Types Of Dreams
Nothing is off limits in the dream state. We are open, experiencing on all levels of self, all fears, frustrations, suppressed images, unknown territory, visionary insights. We become more comfortable with dream images when we learn to welcome them, whatever they are, as messengers of self. There is no such thing as a bad dream symbol. The most grotesque or frightening of dreams, have the most...

Past Life
I have a belief that we have walked this world many times, and sometimes, I believe we have memory of it. It tantalizingly surfaces and its like a half remembered dream, just out of sight. I would be very interested to know if anyone else has any memories of their past lives. I wrote this because it describes what if feels like to me, this half remembered feeling, this longing to be whole. To...

Personal Power
In life there will always be people, who along with their own problems, shoulder the burdens of others. For some, they appear to have little choice, deposited upon them unasked for. For others, its a choice! Its the people who choose, the latter, that I would like to talk about. They tell themselves that they are helping. That without their help the person with the problem, would not cope, or are...

Moonlight Slumber
Moonlight Slumber Moonlight slumber, starry night. Heavens breath, upon shards of light. My soul doth dance, afire am I, in cosmic flight. Between silvery mist, black velvet sky, The moon, her opal eye, doth gleam and shine. Nighttimes children play and prance, Inviting me, to join their dance. And still, my spirit soars and flies, The light within, it needs no guide. A stardust path, shall...

The Spiritual Way
When we walk a spiritual path, it is full of highs and lows. The importance of having like minded people to share it with can not be underestimated. I found this quote recently and it really touched me. “A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and sings it back to you, when you have forgotten how it goes.” Life, can be likened to a fast flowing river. The conditions the...

Learning To Listen
I recently read a quote that really made me think, it said… ” Listen! Or your tongue will make you deaf. ” Cherokee saying. I do believe we often forget that the ‘art of communicating’ is a two way street. Being able to articulate and speak well purely in itself is not enough. How often have we had a long conversation with someone that has left us feeling very...

Inner Balance
It is often said that there is strength in numbers, many souls standing together in unity. This same analogy could be used with regard to ourselves. By bringing your internal self together, into balance and harmony. When someone experiences conflict within themselves, the results can be disastrous. For a clouded mind cannot see clearly, emotions unrestrained like a riderless horse, galloping ahead...

“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most…

Duality
Over the last week or so, the word ‘Duality’ has come up in different media forms and also in books I have read. Because this word kept ‘popping’ up, it made me think. I thought, what does this word mean to me. So I decided to write about it and this is where my thoughts took me. I’d like to share them with you. Duality, to me represents division, or an inner pull in...

The Inner Journey
I read this passage recently, from the book ‘Living Magically’ by Gill Edwards. I would like to share it with you. “When the god’s created Heaven and Earth, according to an old Eastern story. They were left with just one problem; Where to hide TRUTH. They did not want it to be too obvious, since observing the search, would provide them with great amusement. One god...

An Awakened Spirit
Humility and selfless love are the signs of an awakened spirit. Part of having an awakened spirit is the eagerness to learn, understand, and work for the well being of not only ones self but of others as well. Pride and arrogance are not really marks of a good person to begin with and even less so in a person with an awakened spirit. The same thing goes with unconditional love. With an awakened...

Alchemy is a precursor to modern chemistry which was widely practiced all over the world through the 1800s, when more modern chemistry began to displace it. This discipline involved a study of the chemical properties of various substances, with a mystical bent. The main principle being to transform ordinary base metals into Gold. Spiritual alchemy, can be likened to this, as in transforming the...

Going Into The Cave
Have you ever wanted to shut out the world and retreat into a warm, dark, safe place. A place where there are no demands on your time, no emotional influences from others, a place of perfect peace. I believe there comes a point in persons life when they need a sacred space such as this. A place where they can be undisturbed, still and tranquil. A place where they can rest their minds, their...

The Cherry Blossom Tree
I have always loved the Cherry Blossom Tree’s, and at this time of the year, they can be seen in their full resplendent glory. From the deepest pinks to the palest whites with tips of pink, they are breathtakingly beautiful. For me, the feelings this tree evoked, was more then just an appreciation of its beauty, but it touched something deeply inside that transcended the visual and became a...

The Treasure Of The Heart
Human beings are always striving to improve themselves. It is not just a social imperative, but comes from a inner sense of always feeling there is something else we should be doing with our lives, or doing what we do better. Or as that old adage says, we think that ‘the grass, is always greener on the other side’. Adding to the sense of discontent with what they have. People rarely...
