Our shaggy dog story Our rescue dachshund Pickle has been with us for two years now. Our family had wanted a dog for a while, but my oldest girl was definitely dog nervous after a couple of bad experiences so I knew we needed to pick the right dog, both for her and as a…

Letting go of one of the stages of childhood with my two girls… During the summer break I’ve managed to get on down and get some jobs on that have been waiting a while. One of (the many!) was clearing out a bunch of old toys and broken pieces of toys thrown into boxes from…

Adrenal Fatigue – the sneaky energy drainer I recently came across an article about Adrenal Fatigue when on a road trip. My family and I were relaxing in a great hotel on Memorial Day weekend, we had unwittingly stumbled upon the biggest free Memorial Day party in the mid-West (Kansas City, MO) and had enjoyed…

Staying Grounded These days a lot of people talk about staying grounded…but what is it, really? I know I’m grounded when I… make good decisions and make them easily have a clear mind my body feels good (and I’m in my body as opposed to being ‘in my head’ or elsewhere!). I took this picture…

Did you know that people who respond well to a placebo are often REMOVED from clinical trials?
The Nocebo Effect is something I had heard of, but wasn’t 100% sure that I understood the definition well – until I read Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself, that is.
The theory behind the Nocebo Effect is that we can think ourselves sick, basically – and perhaps even sicker when we are surrounded by others who think of us that way also.
So the formula (according to Lissa) would be Negative Beliefs + Harsh Care = Sickness.
The power of personal belief is a tool that can be applied for everybody’s health and well being. We just need to be taught how to use it.
PMDD – Premenstrual dysphoric disorder – teenage years For many years, since puberty if I’m honest, the ‘time of the month’ has never been easy for me. If you created a list of every PMS symptom that a woman gets related to our hormonal cycle, then I could check all them – oh, except for…

Sometimes we realise we’ve been slimed by energy. Maybe you picked up creepy vibes from a person or a place. Perhaps you just feel off and can’t quite put your finger on why. Here are some things to notice and work with, so you can de-slime yourself and get back into balance. Everyone deserves a clean aura!
Now Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton introduces a powerful idea: instead of focusing on fixing weaknesses, we should identify and develop our natural talents.
This book is revolutionary. It’s a very different concept to consider simply building on your Strengths rather than ‘plugging the skills gap’ and shoring up your ‘weaknesses’.
As I wrote this I figured out I am at day 40 of my kundalini meditation practice, so as a dutiful Mom On A Spiritual Journey I thought it time to report my findings.
Well, one thing is for sure – I shall be carrying on with this practice well after day 40. This type of meditation for me is one of the most intriguing and experiential practices I have undertaken.
During the first week of meditation, I found myself in the middle of a powerful vision. It was so strong that I decided to write to the author about my experience. She very kindly responded.
Did you know that you can make your record of Past Lives a source of support by meditating in the Akashic Records?

Written by Kathyrin McCusker, a Yoga teacher and internationally known Opera Singer Kundalini Meditation is a useful guide to both meditation using the Kundalini energy, and Kundalini Yoga.
Kundalini means “the coil in the hair of the beloved” and refers to our coiled serpent-like energy which begins at the base of the spine, moving up through the chakras or energy centers and resulting in a feeling of bliss throughout the body, mind, and soul for the regular practitioner.
Kundalini Yoga is the practice of yogic postures, mantras and meditations that help activate the kundalini energy. This energy can rise up through the chakras with practice.
