Worrying won't stop the bad stuff, it just stops you from enjoying the good!



Sometimes you see articles or watch the news and think, it’s too much, I don’t know how to stop bad things from happening.  Well, this article from Lida (our spiritual reiki and life coaching guru) has phrased it so well and eloquently here, I just had to share!

SHINE YOUR LIGHT
2012 heralded a significant time. Some predicted doom whilst others predicted miracles on a grand scale.
It is said that the Mayan calendar ended around December 2012. A few mystics spoke of this being a time of significance.

Much has changed since 2012. More individuals have had their awareness levels raised. There is more interest than ever in yoga, meditation, metaphysics, ethics and morals. Social barriers are gradually being removed.
More of us are taking responsibility for our own spiritual journey. The number of people who are being called to take responsibility for their actions and for their inter-actions with others is growing. Politicians, sports people, teachers, parents, the young, the old, business owners are all expected to be more considerate in their choices.

You are contributing to this change in consciousness. Your Light is raising awareness in magnificent ways and for most of us we do not realise this. Every time you express gratitude even when faced with challenge, you are shining your Light - you are strengthening the raising of consciousness.

We are continually being presented with opportunities to shine the Light. At times you may even identify that you have some out-moded beliefs. They no longer sit well in your psyche. In the noting, change is occurring, your Light is expanding. If this is happening for you then it is happening for many.

Whenever you identify an injustice and speak of this in ways that contributes to growing awareness you are shining your Light. You are contributing to raising consciousness. It may be that you notice a person is being excluded and you take steps to welcome this person. This small act is powerful. At the time you may not realise the full implications of such a simple action.

Any major social change was first ignited by a few who chose to shine their Light on outmoded behaviours and beliefs. During those times of change there was aggressive resistance which gradually dissipated as more individuals recognized where there was injustice. There are many historical records of how out-moded beliefs and behaviours were changed by the masses who kept shining the Light.

Look around you. Listen to distant dialogues. Listen to your own inner dialogue. Are they communications of support or are they excluding? Identify where rigid views contribute to isolating be they your beliefs or others. Then intend to shine your Light. This does not require for you to make massive changes. Begin with self.

As you go to sleep at night take a moment to give thanks for the Light within and for the magnificent interconnectedness of this limitless, infinite vibration.

Love, Love, Love

Love, Love, Love!




Valentine’s day is marketed to us in a very commercial way as being the day to celebrate love by showering your partner with flowers, chocolates, cute teddy bears and all things nice.  Whereas I am not a fan of the commercialised aspect of Valentine’s I do love the ultimate message behind it - LOVE

To me, it is not about showering your partner with delicious and cute goodies, but it is about showering yourself with love.

It is when you completely love yourself first, that you are able to love another without neediness, without judgement, without strings.

So this Valentine’s Day, make an effort to appreciate your other half, by first appreciating and loving yourself!


  1. Do something for yourself that makes you feel loved and special
  1. Sit in contemplation to discover what areas you are not happy with in your life - and change it!
  1. Sit in front of a mirror, gaze at yourself in the most loving way possible and spend the next 5 mins repeating to yourself “I love you”



*Hint  - any problems figuring out what aspects of yourself you need to change, or perhaps you know what you want to change but have no idea how to actually make the change? - no worries, contact one of our life coaches for personal support, wisdom and change!
