I came across this piece of writing a few years back. The author is unknown; the message is quite profound. However, it now feels old fashioned — I realise as mentors, counsellors and folk working in the healing space; we need to step back and not work as a conduit. The client needs to do the work we can only act as a beacon of the frequency of pure love. The only person who can do the somatic healing is the individual.

If you come to me as a victim, I will not support you.

But I will have the…

Consciousness enables us to feel the depth of unconditional love. Indigenous societies live within these structures, and they know they are part of a higher organism — the universe, the cosmic consciousness and collective consciousness. It is continuously communicating to the spark of consciousness deep inside each of us.

We are all experiencing evolution all the time — we all want to be happy and content. The pursuance of happiness, a state of being we have all experienced known as the experience of unification. …

As we know — social media is not real; it’s a curated edition of our individual lives. And yet it pulls at the DNA string of need for external validation and comparisons. For all the wonders that social media can bring, overwhelmingly, it can detrimentally affect our mental health.

One strategy to help overcome anxiety, low self-esteem, poor sleep, inattention and hyperactivity is to reduce the amount of the time spent on social media.

I decided to go for the extreme complete abstinence, which is severe and will leave you very few connections because social media has become the preferred…

Given that we all have a lot more time on our hands — I thought I would share with you some poignant books from my reading list. These books have profounding helped me with my personal development.

When we are in the midst of a melancholic state, it can be hard to unpack this with those who care most about us for fear of being the eternal low-viber.

Instead, we put on a brave face and pretend all is well, as an attempt to tell ourselves things are ok inside our heads. The act propels itself and us into a shakey future.

Reality becomes fragmented with different versions told to different loved ones and connections. It is therefore understandable we can start to feel unsure about who we are and what we think when we have so…

For about twenty years or so, I have been exploring my happiness and consciousness development.

I believe there are a few routes to help overcome internal shadows and self-sabotage — all of which have helped me to overcome low self-esteem, anxiety, body dysmorphia and fear.

Primarily they are meditation, silent retreats and the master plant teacher ayahuasca and well as Neuro-linguistic programming.

Back in 2000, I started to explore consciousness and had a revelation during a short meditation session, whereby I experienced my third eye open. Suddenly I felt connected to everything and everyone.

That moment was filled with such…

Previously, I used to hold my breath — a bit too much. I was unaware of my unusual breathing habits until I became a conscious observer of my workings.

I realised that my breath-holding was part of my tension loop. It would usually couple up with the clenching of my toes. My body was showing me I was experiencing tension and stress; this observation was the catalyst for my permanent transformation!

I discovered Pranayama back in 2003; it’s a healthy variety of breath control. After my first session, I felt remarkably relaxed and free of anxiety and tension. I also…

So many people are dealing with some form of stress. I never quite understood until I experienced it. Anxiety is an overwhelming experience; what I remember most was when I had a period free of tension, I would find myself worrying about when it would next strike. I refused to accept that I would suffer from this debilitating problem for the rest of my life. The worry and fear of it coming again and yet worse became just as consuming as when I have anxiety moments. I called time on it.

What empowered me to overcome my anxiety for good…
