More Clarity Needed for the Voyage... I think it appropriate to expand and clarify a little more on my previous 'Sacred Traversing' post before traveling on! Because of wanting to be transparent and authentic in my last post I ended up exposing deep hurt from the past and feeling vulnerable, perhaps even coming over as preachy! God forbid! You may have noted I had felt grievous about my former 'religious life' resulting in a lot of excavation and deconstruction work.  For the most part I have let go of the past and perhaps this is my time and place to draw closure through my 'Sacred Traversing!  For as Deepak Chopra points out our 'intentions' must not come from a grievous place! This would in-fact be serving the ego!  However, I do think we can learn lessons from the past, come to new conclusions, then shine a light on our story, that this may be of encouragement to others! In that post I drew attention to my experience with 'religious...

Principle not Dogma They said "independent thinkers had no part in God's Kingdom". So that was it, I had made myself  'an outcast', nowhere to go, condemned to wander in the wilderness.... Incidentally Pixie Campbell is running a series of Vlogs on the topic ' Outlaw Spirituality ' Some interesting questions are raised about spirituality such as "what is a religious experience like for you?" Currently I'm "Sacred Traversing" ~   Dictionary Definition   ~ going backwards, forwards, sideways, all directions for me to arrive at where I am... "The deepest hunger in Life is a secret that is revealed only when a person is willing to unlock a hidden part of the self. In the ancient traditions of wisdom, this quest has been likened to diving for the most precious pearl in existence, a poetic way of saying that you have to swim far out beyond shallow waters, plunge deeply into yourself, and search patiently until th...

To the Land of Milk & Honey... Oh I love writing blog posts on the hoof... this is a timely pun on the Day of the Chinese New Year ~ The Year of the Horse! Speaking of which ~ travel ~ I have come across this lovely Website focusing on Sacred Journeys that feature guest pilgrims. You can visit here...  A Sacred Journey This reading at Sacred Journeys has opened up more than I bargained for ~ for it touches on my personal journey, where I am at the moment in my relationship to the Divine. I have spoken a lot about this relationship through my photography and daily life, but I have never exposed my soft-soul underbelly with regard to how I traveled to this point in time! In line with my New Year's words, 'Brave' 'Action' 'Truth' I am opening up to speaking my truth more.  I have been living in the moments meditating on heart centering prayer, focusing on 'clarity'.  I feel very vulnerable saying what I do, but certain things seem t...

Words: Clarity  Energy  Vitality  Brave  'Action' These are the words rising for me, I know I'm late for good intentions 2014, but these things can't be rushed.... Insert from journal ~ I have had a few epiphanies in my life and this is one serious epiphany!  I have recently felt in a static  place , a dense, hemmed in state of mind and I need a release!  I had the feeling there would be a 'key' that would unlock the reason for these feelings,  I thought the 'key' might come to me in the form of a word and thereby release me ,  that I would adopt this word for 2014! Listening to these lyrics by 'Air' I sensed a rise in my spirit ~" all I need is a sign to get behind the sun and cast my weight .... "  At that point this was exactly how felt, I could do this, I could add my weight, my energy to the sun and it would make a difference!  A difference not only to me but others too!  That 'sign' came for me in the ...
