Year: 2021

Message for December 2021 It’s hard to believe we are nearing the end of another year. As we gaze back we can see a plethora of trials, tribulations and challenges, both personally and collectively. It would be easy just to see all the hardship we have each endured, as well as the collective troubles we have faced as a society, as it’s hard to escape the news and 24/7 interconnectedness of the modern world. Perhaps we are hard-wired to see the struggles as a way to measure happiness or success? We do this individually as well, as we focus on

Message for November 2021 On many levels, the world still feels frenetic and chaotic, and the fear that’s being carried within so many hearts and souls is intense, penetrating and quite overpowering. It can be hard not to become immersed in this sticky, heavy intensity as it’s like a black hole, sucking the energy out of so many. For sensitive and intuitive individuals, it can be hard to create a suitable ‘shield’ from this as it’s coming from so many different angles: from family and friends, to the television, social media, and even loud conversations in coffee shops… Staying calm

Message for October 2021 It seems to be an inherent human tendency to focus on the things that are wrong in our world. For many, it’s easy to recount all of the things we cannot do, the things we cannot have and the goals we have not achieved. Over time, our lives become shaped by our perspective, and we can become lost in a haze of sadness and pain. Most of us tend to be our own biggest critics, judging ourselves harshly and with cutting inflexibility. If we’re not careful we can start to believe that we’re not good enough,

Message for September 2021 I’ve long been a seeker of silence. Seeking out opportunities to embrace the silent moments and to immerse myself in the stillness that silence can bring. We live in a busy, noisy, distraction fuelled world which can make it so hard to even notice the silence, but it’s always there. It’s often the case that we need to pause and breathe deeply in order to re-connect, but it’s important to realise that silence never leaves us, it’s usually a case that we shut ourselves off from the silence. Silence isn’t just the absence of sound, far

Message for August 2021 We all have potential. We all have possibility. Even when we feel lost, confused or alone, when we take a breath and go within, we find the potential to grow, evolve and blossom, even when times are challenging. Life, by its very nature, is inherently uncertain. As much as we might want to be sure of the outcome of our choices, we can never really know as life simply doesn’t work that way. As mentioned previously, life is a kaleidoscope of moving parts, nothing staying the same, everything changing. Change is the one true constant in

Message for July 2021 Life is a constantly moving kaleidoscope of experiences, thoughts and moments. The pace has been intense lately, so it’s been easy to feel as though the rug is being pulled out from beneath our feet as we lurch from one challenge to the next. As mentioned last month, the more we can honour, love, be compassionate and offer a helping hand or a listening ear, the more potential there is to transform the world into a supportive and nourishing place. Of course, it takes courage to breathe deeply and pause when the world is twisting and

Message for June 2021 A great many of us spend much of our lives hidden from view, partially excluding those parts of us that we don’t like, don’t understand or fear. We can feel bogged down and overwhelmed by the constant change and shift of life, leaving us feeling like we can’t breathe, and this can thwart or block the connection we have with our deeper selves, with others and with the universe. Of course, the less we acknowledge or talk about the things we hide, the louder they roar and the harder it is for us to find a

Message for May 2021 There can be no denying that the world we live in contains much confusion, contradiction and paradox. On one level, there is a sense of shift and a lifting of energy. However, on another level there is still a sense of angst and turmoil which is pulling many of us in different directions at the same time. Perhaps there is one thing we can say with certainty, and that’s the fact that we continue to live with uncertainty. Of course, this isn’t something new as we all live with uncertainty each and every day, but there
