I've just finished reading the biography of Milerepa, a Tibetan Yogi who lived 1000 years ago. It has been an extremely interesting read - especially to see the methods of attaining enlightenment back in times gone by when things were 'simpler' yet physically harder, along with the cultural Tibetan influences at the time. It has been an inspiring read, yet many things are not translatable to those living in modern times who also wish to attain similar states. Complete detachm

There comes a point on the path where you realise that the mind cannot solve all of the problems that life throws your way. In fact for some problems it becomes more a hindrance than a help. Why? Because some issues are Karmic. This means that at some point the soul has become identified with the limitation of the physical, emotional or mental.

Let's consider the concept of sovereignty. Sovereignty in our being is remarkably hard to fully attain in today's societal pressures and codependent relationships. Yet, it's not something we can force or 'act out'. Otherwise we risk plastering an identity over authentic expression. So, let's explore briefly what sovereignty is at it's core.

Now that AI is becoming an easily available phenomenon, I felt to explore its impact on our spiritual fields. More and more people are incorporating it into their everyday lives. Whether it be to create images, videos or texts, to get the answer to any question asked, or even as a therapeutic aid, AI is the all-rounder of usefulness. Or is it? What appears to be very helpful (it allows people to create/answer/achieve things they never could have done themselves) actually has

I generally see three main types of spiritual offering out there: I see a lot of emphasis on the physical and emotional in spiritual communities. Yoga, sexual/intimacy work, dance, sharing circles. It's all powerful because it gets us to be consciously in touch with those aspects of us. We can learn a lot about ourselves. Some offerings emphasize energy work and self-realisation; Kundalini activation, shadow work, plant medicine, manifestation practice. All can be powerful, y

Recently I've found myself physically and mentally exhausted. Fatigue has often been a challenge for me in my life - through various illnesses and irregular routines, plenty of change and transformation, not to mention parenthood of young children. However, recently an incredible fall out of sick colleagues has meant I'm working most days in the care home. On top of looking for a new car, self-employment and supporting ill family members and children, I've essentially been wo
