This poem was inspired through a blend of experiences.
First, four days spent deepening my experience of the 3 Principles in London and Glasgow.
Then, the Celtic Blessing ‘Deep Peace’ that has hummed away in my head throughout the intervening week. … Continue reading »
You’ve not been able to look over your shoulder for a while because your neck complains.
Periodically you spend time trying to figure it all out; what you did to initiate the pain, which part of your body is actually causing the pain, and what can you do to fix it?
Very understandable in our left brain culture with its focus on thinking and cause and effect! Continue reading »
Here is a very quick way to release tension from your whole body, and more!
Typically, at first, I notice my tense shoulders drop.
Then, somewhat to my surprise the first few times I did this, I noticed my neck, face and the inside of my head smoothing out – places I hadn’t even been aware were carrying tension!

One solution is to completely refocus your attention in the opposite direction; to what you would like to experience instead of your discomfort. Continue reading »
Charles contacted me because he suffers from migraines, typically losing a day and a half a month out of his life as his neck locks up, and his vision goes awry.
During our Skype session his perspective changed, and he found himself identifying changes he could make to decrease the stress in his life. Continue reading »
Every now and again someone asks me if I can facilitate some healing for their relative or friend.
They ask because they’re concerned about the other person, sometimes even desperate, to help them. I know the feeling!
The thing is there’s usually something you need to do first.
Like many people, I’d over-ridden my body’s natural appetite – eating when I wasn’t really hungry, and continuing to eat when I was full. This did not feel good.
My relationship with food felt out of sync, so I chose to explore ways to more ‘conscious’ eating. Continue reading »
