We are so quick to assume that there is something wrong with ourselves, and the way it is already, that when we hear about Awareness, we assume that it means that we need to try to become more aware. When we hear about Peace, we assume that we need to try to become more peaceful. […]
What is the point of living if not to feel whatever is here? Pretending that it is all fine, or that you are tough and can cope with things, is only a way of protecting against the tidal wave that Life can feel like. Sometimes it whispers so quietly, and sometimes it screams unbelievably loudly, […]
The truth is that you are alone. No one can save you or protect you from life, and in fact, death. At first this can seem terrifying to the thinking that desperately holds on to someone, anyone, in the hope that they know what the hell is going on here. But it is a case […]
Living the freedom that you are, is about taking full responsibility for how you feel instead of expecting someone else to save or fix you. Acknowledging that truly there is no one ‘out there’ who can ever complete you, is the freedom to really love yourself. You are already everything that you long for, or […]
Keeping up the facade of being ‘someone with a story’ takes so much effort and is so exhausting. You have to keep telling yourself the story again and again, in case you forget. What would happen if you would just forget? If you would just forget who you are, or what your storyline is? Does […]
In feeling whatever physical sensations are here right now, just as they are, you are feeling the life energy that you are. Life itself expresses itself just like this. Nothing needs to be added, changed or fixed. Recognising this is the radical freedom from all trying and effort.

Some of us have never really felt like we fit in with the so-called ‘norm’. I used to feel like I must be some kind of alien creature that was somehow dropped on this strange planet – ‘What the hell is going on here?????’ We are taught that to conform and fit in, is the […]
Usually we assume that Thought is in charge, and that whatever it says must be true. But I encourage you to check whether you can really know what you think you know. Don’t just blindly rely on thought. Is thought even really that reliable? Or is it just that it feels terrifying to really acknowledge […]
After years of holding back and dampening ourselves down in order to fit in and survive in the world, we long to come alive and live in a free and open way. But most of us just don’t know how. Recognising who you really are and knowing that the real ‘you’ has never been dampened […]
