More Serendipity
I was in a village shop the other day and I got talking to the shop owner about ponds. Like most serendipitous events I have no clue how the conversation started, but I told him of the saga of Lucky my goldfish. “I didn’t want fish in my new wildlife pond” I moaned “it was…

Ear Worms
I can’t remember which post I wrote about this in, but I mentioned a few months ago that I had a song going round and round in my brain. It was ‘Sexy Love’ by Ne-Yo which isn’t something I would ordinarily listen to and I had no idea why, for some weeks, it was suddenly…
Vibrational Intimacy
Our romantic partnerships are different to any other relationship we have in our lives due to the fact they contain physical intimacy, and because of the physical intimacy there is an emotional intimacy which we don’t experience with anyone else. There is a difference between love, even the deep and unconditional love we have for…
Vibrational Harmony
What does it feel like to vibrate on the same energy frequency as someone or something else? Like the delicate fragrance of a Sweet Pea, it’s almost impossible to describe to someone who has never inhaled the scent. I was in the garden most of yesterday under a hot summer sun. I’ve never been so…
Say No…& Yes
We are bombarded with messages every day that we are not enough. That our life as we’re living it is not enough. We’re missing out on the latest shiny new stuff. Exotic travel. Wild adventures. We should give more to others and our communities through volunteer work. Our children need more interactions, more interests, more…
Soul Wounds: Silence
Our very survival as a species depends on us being part of a tribe. Of being connected. Physically we need each other for vital resources such as food, shelter and protection, and emotionally for love, safety and belonging. We also cannot reproduce alone or look after ourselves when we’re young, sick or disabled. To be…
Psychometry
I’ve had a fabulous day at the Centre for Liminal Studies at Broughton Sanctuary today. It started with a meditation by Monroe Institute board member and outreach trainer Luigi Sciambarella during which I silently asked for the purpose for the experience I had yesterday regarding my ex to be made known to me. I was…
More Tales of the Unexplained
I have had no contact at all with my ex boyfriend now for 10 months. The relationship is completely dead in the water, there is zero desire on either part to resurrect it, and yet I had an unexplainable experience today regarding him. I’ve had one of my favourite days out of the year photographing…
Soul food: the Garden
From the age of 13 to 36 I lived in a 3 story Victorian town house with no garden. As someone who thrives in nature and the outdoors it almost killed my Spirit, and for the entire two decades that I lived there I was miserable. I eventually bought a small village cottage and although…
The Monroe Institute
I heard about The Monroe Institute (TMI) through my involvement with the Wyrd lab and the Centre for Liminal Studies. Based in America but with a branch here in the UK, TMI’s mission is “Helping people create more meaningful and joyful lives through the guided exploration of expanded consciousness.” They are a non-profit organisation who…
Cluster B Personality Interview
As I’ve mentioned in other posts, sensitive, creative, highly empathic people are a magnet for abusers. While not all abusers have clinically diagnosable disorders, many abusers if they were tested and were honest would score highly for Cluster B personality traits such as narcissism or psychopathy (Collison & Lynam 2021). Throughout this post I’m going…
Ask for the signs
My planned visit to a friend this morning has had to be cancelled due to a major RTA on the A66 which has closed the road in both directions, so I have some time to write instead 😊. My last Soul & Spirit post was on Proof v Belief and yesterday I had an excellent…
Proof v Belief
I was chatting to someone the other day who told me they believed in Fairies. I also know people who believe in Angels, Demons, even Alien abductions, and when they talk about these concepts I listen politely, all the while thinking to myself you are bonkers, get a grip on reality. Humans have vivid imaginations…
