Mirror Mirror…
There is a common spiritual idea that says: what triggers you in another person exists in you. And while this is insightful, it is also easily misunderstood and needs some unpacking. Because not every deep reaction is a mirror of character. Most often it is a reflection of the actual experiences that the body continues to play out. For example. When someone’s rudeness, coldness or dismissiveness affects you more than it seems to affect others, the first instinct may be to tur

Why Peace & Love?
I know ‘ Peace and Love’ can bring to mind the likes of the hippy movement, flower power, or the music and culture of the past ~ because of this I have, on occasion, pondered whether to use different words for my business so as not to cause confusion. However, I've decided to explain instead ~ it’s important to know that ‘Peace & Love’ doesn’t actually belong to anyone, any group, movement, or teacher. It is in fact universal, timeless, and endlessly available to all. Pea

Seeing through belief.
Those times when thought and emotion feel all-consuming. We may try ~fruitlessly and fearfully~ to untangle them, fix them, push them away, distract ourselves, or run from them.

You may even begin to see that paradoxically those who don’t help are actually, in their own way, helping you… …to realise th

LOVE WITHOUT CONDITION.
Yes. I am here for you ~ fully, unconditionally, unwaveringly. Come to me in your strength, or in your breaking. In silence or in screaming. With your heart open, or closed tight. You will never be too much here. Never too lost. Never too late. I will meet you exactly as you are ~again and again~ with the same stillness, love, and clarity. No judgment. No fixing. Just holding you, like the sky contains the cloud. You don’t need to have it all together to be held. You don’t ne
