LIFE THERAPY
Firstly, You’re NOT alone.
The degree to which the events and qualities of life that are experienced here on planet Earth are in any way connected, either causally, or as a correspondence with the heavily bodies, is, for me at least, always going to be an interesting question.
Continue readingWhat you feed yourself in food, in thought, in word, and in deed, becomes you.
In the same way that your diet effects your body, the language you use and the thoughts you have influence your psyche – your psyche being the sum total of your conscious and unconscious, mental and emotional life. Your Soul if you like, which, I would like to add is not the counterpart to your body, but rather, the flip side of it.
You may have heard me use the allegory that consciousness, and, by extension, life, as being like standing on a shore between two great oceans; one within and one without.
