Luminescent orb of glistening dew Clings weightlessly to bright green blade Dawn sun rising gently holds Evaporation’s soft, warm hand While tension grows on taut membrane Inside atoms laugh and dance No future pain Or sickly dread Just rock and roll and always now Within the silent crystal ball And so the final moment breaks [...]

I’ve been corresponding with an old friend whose marriage broke down 3 years ago. What has been troubling me is the constant retelling, re-living, and re-interpreting of the events of the past. In the early days, well for the first couple of years, I gave him some slack – I saw he was trying to [...]

Margie invites you all to share your simple pleasures with each other… On our programs, we often talk about the simple pleasures in life and how important it is to ‘fluff yourself up’. Many of us care for others so doesn’t it make sense that being in ‘good shape’ might give us more energy to [...]

Writer and psychotherapist Dr Stephanie Dowrick describes what best supports us after a diagnosis of serious illness There is never a “right time” to discover that you have been diagnosed with a serious or life-changing illness.

The Heart of Healing

‘Healing’ comes from the old English word ‘hal’ which means ‘whole’. To heal means to ‘become whole’. I like to use the jigsaw puzzle as a metaphor for healing.

Hallmarks of Intuition When we experience Intuition, there’s often a feeling of simplicity, clarity, peace that comes along with the knowledge, even if it’s about an outcome we don’t want.
