The cycle of the yugas is an aspect of natural law that transcends the individual human being, since it describes a spiralling cycle of evolution that spans 24,000 years*. The yugas are a tradition in India that goes back millennia and Sri Yukteswar** included an explanation of the yuga cycle in his book ‘The Holy Science’, inspired by Mahavatar Babiji, a revolutionary book that...

As I sit here in front of the computer writing I am filled with an awareness that what I am is much more than the body, and that reality is much more than what I can perceive with the five senses. For me the idea of soul is a natural one and I am not alone in this. The concept of soul goes back a long way, and as such has been with humanity for a long time. Only recently has Athe...

Essential oils are profound medicine for body, mind and spirit. They have a long history of use dating back at least to ancient Egypt. My particular interest is the use of essential oils as gateways to consiousness, and over the years I have been mapping out the key psychic attributes of oils so that they can be used more effectively for psychic and spiritual wellbeing.

A Tibetan Legend as recounted by Joanna Macy

"There comes a time when all life on Earth is in danger. Barbarian powers have arisen. Although they waste their wealth in preparations to annihilate each other, they have much in common: weapons of unfathomable devastation and technologies that lay waste the world.

The creation of an altar is an extremely old practice, and altars were widely used in Egypt, Greece, India and Europe in ancient times.

Firstly the evolutionary ‘curriculum’ changed on Nov 7th when the Lunar Nodes moved into Cancer/Capricorn, a cycle of personal and collective growth that will last 18 months. The Lunar Nodes aren’t celestial...

I first came across the idea that crystals and gemstones had metaphysical properties that could be harnessed for healing and wellbeing through a girlfriend a long time ago. At the time I thought the idea odd, and possibly a little absurd, and so it got put to the side for a while. I had other pursuits at the time that seemed more plausible such as Tarot and Numerology. And yet wi...

Pluto has been in Capricorn since Jan 2008, it’s ingress into the sign was marked later that year by the collapse of the investment bank Lehman Brothers and the subsequent international banking crisis that followed. Since that time there has been scandal after scandal within our world institutions, which in turn has been building momentum toward the reformation of our systems. Th...

Along the way, and over the years, one person or another has asked me whether I meditate. And every single time I have been at a loss as to what they meant. This response may seem a bit silly at first and I will most definitely need to add more details and provide you more context to convey more clearly where I am coming from, but lets say for now that there is little doubt that...

Energy Healing

“Healing is natural; everybody is a healer, it’s just they might not know it”
