Spiritual Lessons from Bali, with Love
My love affair with Bali started 28 years ago and heralded the beginning of my spiritual journey.
I went on a retreat that awakened a remembrance in me that I was much older, wiser and infinitely ‘greater’ than I’d thought myself to be and my life was changed forever.
Bali’s beauty and intrigue, and her loving, nurturing energy seeped into my Soul, and lit a spark in the far reaches of my awareness that I have carried with me ever since.
And so, I recently returned to Bali on another retreat with eager anticipation, not knowing quite what to expect.
Unravelling the Illusions of Mind-Made Emotions

Yet, what if I told you that not all emotions are created equal? What if some of the feelings we hold dear are mere illusions crafted by our minds?

Qigong Remedies to Thrive Through the Festive Season
The festive season brings with it a mixture of sentiments, from the joyous anticipation of gift exchanges to the stress of holiday preparations. However, for many, it’s not just a time of merriment but also a season marked by the challenges of life.
Being bombarded with messages of ‘joy’ and ‘togetherness’ can amplify feelings of sadness, loneliness or anger for anyone going through the heartache of divorce or a breakup, grieving the absence or loss of a loved one, or facing strained or even abusive family relationships.
This is where Qigong can help, by connecting you to your inner strength and restoring your emotional balance.
Becoming Limitless with Qigong
In the stillness of my first Qigong session, there I stood, grounded yet reaching for the heavens, moving in harmony with an unseen force. My hands tracing invisible arcs in the air.
This practice, rooted in centuries of wisdom, spoke to me in a language beyond words. It whispered of a world within, a world rich with untapped potential and boundless possibilities.
Earth Magic: How the Ground Beneath You Can Restore Balance
Urbanization, with its concrete jungles and digital cocoons, has created an ironic separation between humanity and the natural world we belong to.
The rustling of leaves and the murmur of rivers are often drowned out by the cacophony of city life, leading to a disconnection from the Earth on which we depend for our survival.
What many fail to see is that the Earth beneath our feet is more than just dirt and soil; it’s alive and brimming with energy and ancient wisdom.
5 Reasons Why Your Qigong Practice Deserves a Revamp
Not everyone who embarks on a Qigong journey finds what they were hoping for straight away. Some individuals give up shortly after trying a Qigong class, while others start enthusiastically only to lose interest after a few weeks or months. This is unfortunate, as Qigong offers an extraordinary number of benefits. Drawing from my decade-long experience as a dedicated Qigong practitioner, I've identified five key reasons that might hinder your progress and how to give your Qigong practice a revamp.

Finding Solace in Qigong: A Pathway to Healing from Grief
Grief is a journey that no one escapes. It sneaks into our lives, uninvited, and wraps its arms around us, leaving us to navigate a sea of emotions and confusion. In the midst of my own journey, after the passing of my dearly loved Dad, I discovered Qigong to be a remarkable ally.
The Art of Flow: How Qigong Teaches Us to Move Like Water
In our fast-paced world, we're often rigid and tense. We forget the power of fluidity and softness. Qigong reminds us of this. It guides us to be flexible and adaptable, much like water. This practice promotes health, vitality, and a sense of peace.
How Qigong Helps You Connect to Your True Self
If you are seeking deeper meaning and a greater sense of connection - both within and beyond yourself - Qigong might be exactly what you are looking for.
Qigong offers a powerful means of connecting with your ‘true self’, also known as your ‘higher self’ - the eternal aspect of your being that is always connected to Divine Source. Qigong can support and accelerate your unique healing journey and reveal powers and resources you didn’t even know you had.
