Soul Lights

Last article I wrote about the four year old (now probably nine) who both remembers before she was born; and has told her parents she still has angels watching over her. This week I’d like to tell you about Shanti Deva, born in Delhi in1926. Around the age of three she told her parents that

Last article I wrote about death and dying; and many people kindly responded – thankyou. So this week I’d like to share a few insights into a couple of its aspects…….. 1.      KEEP OUR FOCUS POSITIVE NO MATTER WHAT. Sue, suffering a rare and painful disease, wrote me earlier this year. Her words tell the

Each year we do our best to help a great many hurting people. Some we see in person, others by Skype, others by email. On Monday I spoke to two people who were having to face issues around death. I felt my answer to one of them might well help others in the same situation.

This is the single, most important – and necessary – achievement for any of us at our current stage of spiritual evolution. Until we fully like ourself we can’t love ourself. And until we love ourself, we can’t truly love anything or anyone else. Until we can sincerely acknowledge that we like ourself we can

Although this beautiful prayer is attributed to St Francis he didn’t write it. It was written by Father Esther Bouquerel (a French priest) and printed in his newsletter in 1912. In 1967 it was somewhat re-written and set to hymn music by the South African songwriter Sebastian Temple. Jon Cohen further changed the words later.

As readers of my articles you are automatically members of The Community Of The Heart. This Community has no membership fees, holds no meetings and asks nothing of you – other than to always try to come from the Heart. One member (for almost 25 years now!) sent me a request this week: “can u in

Thanks to those people who replied to last week’s article. One person hit the nail on the head: Mother Theresa failed to consciously connect with God because she was looking for the Divine Presence “somewhere out there”….. rather than owning her most loving inner feelings – the way each of us can access (in a way limited

This week I’d like to share with you my own edited version of a talk originally written and given by Robert Fritz, a highly renowned American Thinker. I am sure you will gain much from it. Sometimes we think we have to be regularly in touch with the Divine to have a meaningful Life –

“The purpose of life is a life of purpose.”  Robert Bryne, the American author wrote this famous line. His contemporary, Adam Leipzig, a film studio executive, converted it into a simple, yet profound, talk……how to find your life’s purpose in just 5 minutes. He asked his audience just five questions which I’ve printed below….. Do

Every week so many of you communicate with me – thankyou so much! This week I’d like to share two recent emails relating to my Peace article. The first is a poem from Brian Bell …… The second is an article from Stella Margaret…… . . . . . . . . . . .

This is the single, most important question anyone can ever ask themselves. Through earnest contemplation of this question can every concern of life be resolved. Through earnest listening to the answers we find can we achieve freedom and consciousness. Through earnest attention to carrying out the replies we receive can we find Sublime Love, our

We live on a strange planet, don’t we? We all want peace but we all experience its opposite in one way or another…… During humanity’s recent 3500-year history we have been at peace as a planet less than 200 years! Before that we were probably always fighting one another, simply for survival. Amazingly no country

Heartland is now on the market – and is shortly being promoted internationally! So now is the time to consider if you – or you and another family together – would like to take over Heartland and its 19 bedrooms/80 acres of sacred sanctuary to run your own yoga, healing or ‘good food’ retreat……..enquiries please

We’re coming to the end of this series! This week we’ll consider: “What’s really important to me?” For many we know that seems to be their new car, their new dog or their new outdoor barbecue setting. People will say those things “make me happy”. But we also know that’s not real, lasting happiness: it’s

Happiness is more than just feeling good – it’s also about feeling valued! We need to feel that our lives are worthwhile. There needs to be meaning to what we do – and how we do it. And we really need to feel good about our place in society; and view ourselves as playing a

This week let’s smile! It’s been known for ages that our physical body and our brain work together. Put a frown on your face, hold it for ten seconds and you’ll start to feel dejected. Clench your fists and your jaw and voila! you’ll soon feel more belligerent. So put a wide smile on your

This week we’ll discuss ……….divesting ourselves of our diversions! Diversions clutter our social scene and range from the television to the mobile phone, from emails to Instagram……. I am reliably informed that the more time people spend on Facebook (for example), the unhappier they become and the less satisfied with life they are, too. Ditto

Hopefully your happiness is e-x-p-a-n-d-i-n-g week by week as you follow these simple tips to bring much greater Happiness into your life! We’re close to the end of this series…..I hope it’s helping you enjoy Happiness! This week I recommend that you focus on all those special moments that bring you delight and pleasure! In

This week I want to propose that you schedule happiness into your busy itinerary! Happiness can not only be learnt – but it can be further enhanced by making time for it on a regular basis. Most of us have such busy lives that this doesn’t always happen automatically – so these days the busy

Last week we looked at how to best start the day and how to best finish it. The core of that process is really to establish a close and intimate relationship with The Divine Presence, the very core of your Being. This week I’d like to suggest you take control of your intentions. In other
