But what exactly does that mean? We are all energetic beings, and we are all capable of feeling energy, and giving […]
Pushing Boundaries
“Sometimes there’s just no way to hold back the river.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist When I was younger, and just starting out on my spiritual journey, I longed for a teacher to show me the way.

Premonitions, Traffic Jams and Prayers

Don’t Confuse Fear with Intuition
So you’ve decided to do something new… It always starts well, doesn’t it? You feel good about it. You get excited. You know you’re ready to commit. You’re hungry for change.

Daniel’s Story – or The Power of Truth
For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth. ~ Bo Bennett Sometimes life as a psychic can be very challenging. But it can also be incredibly rewarding. Daniel is one of those stories. For about a month before Daniel came to see me, I had recurring […]
Flowers, Friendship and Gardens

Gifts from the Road…
I’m home. I slept in my own bed last night. Today I have work in front of me – a long, intense stretch of it, in fact. But it doesn’t matter. I feel renewed, and something in me has been mended. Maybe it was all that good roadhouse and bakery food. We started with a […]
Red Dust and Wattle
There is a wide arc of blue sky above me. Beneath my feet the ground is stones and dust and tufts of brittle grass. The air is filled with birdsong and the thresh and shuffle of wind in the treetops. Apart from that there is nothing. Just sunshine and space and peace. Kangaroos sleeping under […]

The Power of Mentors
“The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.” – Benjamin Disraeli We all learn by modelling ourselves on others.

4am Meditations and what they mean to me…
Each morning I wake up just before 4am. I stretch, yawn, and most times slip quietly out of bed to go meditate. My exceptions – if it’s freezing cold out or howling a gale I might sit up in bed to meditate instead. At 4am the world is quiet. At 4am the world is so […]
A Day without Context has No Meaning

One Small Bead to Connect Me…

The Power of Hugs
Yesterday was a wonderful day and a difficult day in equal measure. I am mid-way through running my Temple of Light retreat, I had a big day of work ahead of me, it was Fathers Day here in Australia, and it was also my beautiful Nana’s birthday. Lots going on. And not just for me. […]
Becoming by Letting Go
If it’s to be, it’s up to me… There is a powerful but much forgotten Law in the Universe – The Law Of Reciprocation. I’m sure you are familiar with it, although you might not know it by this name. Effectively it means that for every action there needs to be an equal and opposite […]
