I’ve recently had a huge realisation about myself – and it’s agonisingly difficult to swallow. I am controlling, I am an enabler, and I’ve been acting like a martyr. For years. As a result, I have grasped the twisted thread and followed it backwards – and I can completely understand how and why I became […]
(You can read this post or watch the Youtube video version: https://youtu.be/hqw_j1kLf0Y) I am sure you’ll agree that the human race has reached a crucial point in its existence. And that what is needed now, possibly more than at any other time in living memory, is for us human souls to wake up and think […]
(You can read this post or watch the YouTube video: https://youtu.be/upFJmQTd_Dw) When you came into this world, you didn’t come as a completely blank sheet of paper yet to be written on. You came with particular, unique qualities and traits embedded within your spiritual DNA. Of course, within the mix were other influences, too, to […]
Don’t you sometimes just want to punch the world in its face? (Here’s a weird piece of information: I was recently deep in a meditation when my left arm suddenly shot out, fist balled, and jabbed the air – not once, but twice. Even my astral self has attitude). Don’t you feel exhausted by a […]
Should everyone be involved in romantic relationships? Actually, I don’t think so. I don’t think we’re all cut out for them. I don’t think I am. I don’t believe I’m equipped for them, based on long-term experience. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a supportive partner, and I often put my own needs to one side, […]
There are many reasons to feel angry at this point in human history. Not only angry, but afraid, too. And defeated. There are a million (at least that’s how it feels) different causes. Which are vociferously being shoved in our faces, every second of every day. For every argument, a counterargument arises. Followed by a […]
Narcissism is a relatively new buzzword – and so it is easy to dismiss yet another article on the subject with a bored yawn and a roll of the eyes. Anyone who has ever p****d another person off runs the risk of being labelled a narcissist… probably by someone who actually is one. However, the […]
Our first experience of rejection often occurs in childhood — and it can be lethal. We might find ourselves shunned, ignored, or even abused by those who are supposed to love and protect us. We don’t understand what is occurring because we’re young and vulnerable, so we assume that we must be stupid, ugly, or unlovable. We […]
“You just need to be more positive!” This is a statement that has increasingly irked me. You can even imagine the tone of voice used, without needing to hear the words. Slightly high-pitched, encouraging in a patronising way, as if addressing a child. No adult is going to respond well to this — especially when […]
She was 19 years old when she stood atop the highest canal aqueduct in the world, placed her phone and keys on the floor, climbed the railing — and let go. A group who were boating along the canal at that moment witnessed the horrifying event and will probably be haunted by it for the […]
