LIFE THERAPY
I count myself fortunate to be in a profession in which I get to see positive shifts in peoples lives. Seeing people overcoming the negative effects of stress is one of them.
Being able to identify stress and how it is showing up in your life is the first step to reducing its negative effects.
Continue readingThere is something about honouring the unconscious processes of the psyche that can be challenging. For example, here we are – or here I am – wanting to share this piece of work with you, and more to the point the story behind it, rather than be filming the next lesson in the Creative Instinct Course and publishing and promoting a set of articles on managing stress.

Wherever there is persecution, war, intolerance, or injustice, it is invariably a consequence of an identification, or an over identification with difference, and moreover, what that difference represents.
In other words there is a separation. One person or group against another.
In this sense, the greatest danger we seem to pose to life – as people or to life in a broader sense – appears to be the result of a sense of being different to, and by extension, separate to.
This position is perhaps best encapsulated by the idea of ‘them and us.’
Continue readingThis quote by Anias Nin got me thinking.
‘My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to find peace with exactly who and what I am. To take pride in my thoughts, my appearance, my talents, my flaws, and to stop this incessant worrying that I can’t be loved as I am.’
The question I am confronted with fairly often by clients in response to statements about self love is “How?”

The grass area is maintained by the council and the boarders are gardened by volunteers.
In its own way it is a bit of an oasis. Children run free from the prospect of treading in dog faeces as there are no dog allowed. There is a sandpit and a wooden play structure that would pass as a tiny home in some communities, trees, shade, grass and an extensive garden of herbs and berries.

How do we find ways to live that enable us to be financially independent that enable us to live according to our principles, without being asked or forced to compromise them in exchange for the necessity of meeting our basic needs?
Continue readingNeurosis is both the problem and the solution.
It is a path that can lead to an increase in consciousness, an increase in consciousness of a part of oneself of which you were previously less conscious.

If there is anything compelling about existence it is that while we can sit in certainty of the predictable, it is, at the edges, where predictions falter, that life holds some of its greatest challenges and greatest rewards.
The quest for certainty, for predictability, can be compelling – especially when we are in the midst of not knowing but wanting to.
