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…

Visual Reorientation Illusions
I’ve spent the day in Harrogate at a meeting of the Northern group of The Monroe Institute UK. It’s been awesome. Finding a community of like minded people, who want to expand their consciousness and spirituality, has been such a joy and I was giddy for the entire 90 minute drive home. There were discussions…
Liberated
This isn’t a Soul & Spirit post really, but I’m so happy I still wanted to share 😊 I moved into my current house at the beginning of March 2024. A few weeks later my boyfriend was putting up bird feeders in the garden and called me over. “Look!” He was pointing to a 60cm…
Near Death Experiences
While I have not had what is classed as a traditional Near Death Experience (NDE) where the heart stops then begins to beat again, doctors have twice told my parents that I was so critically ill that I may not make it through the night so I have spent some time in that liminal space…
Stuff
It’s easy for us rich 21st Century Westerners to say that possessions are unimportant, because we don’t live in poverty. Even those who think they’re poor aren’t. My Mum grew up in poverty in Britain. Nine people lived in a 1 up, 1 down terraced house with a lean to for a kitchen and no…
Daily Gratitude
I didn’t sleep well last night, so woke at my usual 6am still tired and a bit grumpy. However, when I pulled back the curtains to reveal a bright and dry morning I was instantly awake and lifted. “Hello beautiful day!” I said aloud. The pond area had to be set out today ready to…
Soul Wounds: Abuse
Abuse is a huge topic which nobody can do justice in a blog post, but having been subjected to abuse of various forms throughout my life it’s a subject close to my heart. None of us are perfect and we will inevitably do things to hurt other people. This is usually subconscious and not deliberate…
Soul Food: Kindness
For me, kindness is one of the most important qualities in a human being. One cannot be cruel and kind. Or angry and kind. Or hurtful and kind. Or selfish and kind. Kindness is a solely love-filled act. During the two years its taken to renovate the inside of my house I’ve experienced unexpected kindness.…
What are you afraid of?
How would your life be different if you weren’t afraid? Would you change your job? Go back packing around the globe? Leave your partner? Apologise to someone you’ve hurt? Approach the cute girl on the checkout you have a crush on? Admit you’ve made a mistake? Tell the people you love that you love them?…
Meditation
I attended some Buddhist meditation classes for about a year when I was in my 20s but I just couldn’t get the hang of it. I struggled to switch off my very lively mind and couldn’t understand the point to sitting for 20 minutes doing nothing but breathing and existing – what was that achieving…
Who Am I?
I was having a conversation with my friend who’s been staying with me this week and she said “after everything you have lived through how have you managed to stay such a sane, strong, well rounded, kind and loving person?” and the answer is because I know who I am. When I was horrendously bullied…
We are more than our physical body
I had a friend staying with me this week, and while driving home one afternoon I was telling her about the awful abuse I suffered at the hands of my step-family during my Mum’s paralysis and ultimate death. It’s been 4 years now since she died and it’s not something I usually talk about. As…
Honouring My Twin Flame Connection
I have had the most awesome day at the private opening of the Centre for Liminal Studies at Broughton Sanctuary in Yorkshire which I’ll do a separate post on, but after a conversation I had there this morning I feel drawn to write about soul connections. While at the Wyrd Lab last month I chatted…
