Know that You are Worthy
What is the underlying cause of all that you struggle with in your life? For most of us, it is a lack of self-worth, which leads to a lack of self-love.
Do you believe that you are deserving of living a life that is prosperous, joyful and abundant in every way?
The Earth Star Chakra
We often think of spiritual energy as coming from above us, not always recognising that it is present within every cell of our body and all around us in every direction, including beneath our feet.
Dancing with the Divine
If we think of our seven embodied chakras as being a ladder of consciousness, our crown chakra holds a most sacred position at the very top of our head, becoming our bridge to the Cosmos.
It is my belief that, no matter who we are and how we live our life, we are all seeking the fulfilment that comes from inner peace. This is the quality of energy available to us through our crown chakra.
Befriending your Higher Self
According to Eastern spiritual traditions, it is through the opening of the ‘third eye’ that we can connect in a conscious way to our Higher Self. But what is our Higher Self and how do we go about making that connection?
A 'Qi' Approach to Weight Management
We’ve been conditioned to believe that losing weight and keeping it off requires depriving ourselves with strict diets and punishing ourselves with grueling exercise regimes. But Qi Gong takes a radically different view - one of treating ourselves with love, kindness and compassion and appreciating everything our body does for us.
Here are 6 ways Qi Gong helps you find and maintain your “happy weight” in a way that is effortless, natural, and stress-free:
Healing Our Way to Wholeness
We all have healing to do and, like it or not, each of us is responsible for our own healing work.
Although we can benefit greatly from the guidance and support of others to help facilitate our way toward a greater sense of wholeness, nobody can do our healing for us.
Plugging into Your Power
If there is one thing life, and especially my Qi Gong practice, has taught me, it is that ‘power’, in the true sense of the word, comes from within. It is never forced, but comes naturally to us when we remember who we really are – magnificent creatures of Nature, exquisite expressions of life-force energy, divine intelligence made manifest.
Embodiment as a way to Enlightenment
While ‘enlightenment’ has always been about accessing states of consciousness beyond the boundary of the physical body, the focus of many spiritual seekers today is on ‘embodiment’ – how we ‘feel’ in our body, how we ‘relate’ to others, and how we ‘do’ things in the world.
There has been a move toward spiritual practices that help us become more present within our bodies, more connected to humanity, and more grounded upon the Earth. It’s a shift that can help us heal our personal and collective trauma, at a time when many are struggling to resolve painful family or childhood issues, and stress and fear are rife in our society.
Shedding the False Self
When I first heard about ‘death’ as a child, it was described as ‘going to sleep and never waking up’. I remember being both terrified and unconvinced. The thought of there being no ‘I’ didn’t make sense at all. How could ‘I’ not exist, the 8-year-old me wondered? I reassured myself that, surely, someone would discover a ‘cure’ for this thing called ‘death’ long before my time arrived.
Little did I realise that Life itself, in its own time, and in its own way, would offer up a healing elixir, a soothing balm, which would provide all the assurances I needed. And that it would come to me, after decades of striving and searching for answers, when I finally learned to ‘let go’.
Discover your Three Treasures
What would your life look like if all aspects of who you are (physical, emotional and mental) were in alignment? What if you could line up your internal energy with the energy of the universe, so that life became more about ‘flow and ease’ than about ‘effort and struggle’?
