Spiritualism: A Science, Philosophy and Religion
When delving into any subject, we are encouraged to research and ask questions. This process is essential for developing a deeper understanding of the world around us. Within Spiritualism, this methodology is actively embraced inviting people to explore various disciplines and practices from multiple perspectives and arrive at their own truths.
Spiritualism has its foundation in the Seven Principles and can be understood as a science, a philosophy, and a religion. Each perspective offers unique insights and expands our understanding of a Spiritualists way of life.
Spiritualism as a Science
Science is the pursuit of truth through research, experimentation, and discovery. It operates on a principle of a perpetual search for deepening truth, discarding outdated concepts as new evidence emerges. Spiritualism embraces this search for understanding, particularly in its exploration of phenomena such as mediumship, trance or spirit art.
Mental Mediumship
A cornerstone of Spiritualism, mental mediumship bridges the gap between our world and the spirit world or energies from the unseen world. Its primary aim is to provide evidence of life after death, affirming the immortality of the soul. The process of mediumship is where mediums attune themselves to higher vibrational frequencies. Through this attunement, they receive messages, impressions and insights from spiritual energies or departed souls.
Albert Einstein’s observation that “everything in life is a vibration” aligns with the mechanics of mediumship. Everything vibrates at different frequencies whether a solid, liquid or gas. The spirit world exists at a different vibrational frequency, accessible through attunement and heightened sensory perception.
Places like the Arthur Findlay College and the Spiritualists’ National Union (SNU) have conducted extensive studies to validate mediumship. These efforts underscore Spiritualism’s commitment to proving its core belief in life after death, this is one fundamental difference to other religious traditions, a constant search for proof and deeper understanding. Mediumship as a scientific endeavour continues to evolve, providing both evidence and profound insights into the nature of existence.
Spiritualism as a Philosophy
The philosophy of Spiritualism is encapsulated in its Seven Principles:
1. The Fatherhood of God
2. The Brotherhood of Man
3. The Communion of Spirits and the Ministry of Angels
4. The Continuous Existence of the Human Soul
5. Personal Responsibility
6. Compensation and Retribution for all Good and Evil deeds done on Earth
7. Eternal Progress Open to Every Human Soul
Each principle offers guidance, personal interpretation and a moral framework and a meaningful way of life. Taken as a whole the principles provide structure and clarity in navigating the complexities of human existence.
The principles encourage respect for others, accountability for our personal actions and an awareness of the eternal progression of the soul. They promote a belief in something greater than ourselves while putting the focus on personal responsibility and moral integrity in this life. Taken together the principles create a philosophy that offers confidence, promotes love and instils a sense of purpose for this life and the next.
Spiritualism as a Religion
Spiritualism as a religion acknowledges the existence of a higher power, this is reflected in the principle “The Fatherhood of God.” This belief offers comfort and meaning, offering the idea that we are not alone and there is a greater intelligence in the universe.
The religious aspect of Spiritualism promotes free thinking and personal exploration, encouraging people to question everything and arrive at their own conclusions. It highlights the power of prayer, the importance of love and the transformative potential of energy. As a result, practitioners become more mindful of their actions and more attuned to the ongoing evolution of their souls.
As a science, Spiritualism seeks evidence and understanding. As a philosophy it provides moral guidance and purpose. As a religion it nurtures belief, connection and communion. Together, these perspectives create a holistic approach to the mysteries of life, the afterlife and the eternal nature of the soul.
A Lifelong Journey
Each aspect of Spiritualism encourages us to expand our understanding, embrace accountability and recognise the interconnected nature of all life. Spiritualism is a call to evolve not just as individuals but as eternal souls. It challenges us to explore the depths of our emotions and the greatest feeling of all… love.

The universe always conspired to help you
“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
Taken from one of my favourite books, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. This simple quote and realisation opens the idea to opportunity and the possibility that anything is possible. It also offers a huge confidence boost in self-belief, safe in the knowledge that the universe is on your side.
Can the universe conspire to help us? From a scientific viewpoint, everything in existence is energy. We are all made from the same thing and are interconnected through a fabric of vibrating particles. This shared energy creates a natural flow and resonance between thoughts, intentions and outcomes. The energy we project through our thoughts and actions influences the energy around us, creating a ripple effect like a stone thrown into still water, these ripples flow out and help to shape our reality.
How can this happen for me?
Firstly, we should understand the huge power we have by simply setting an intent. A positive and definable action. Imagine you are throwing a rock in a still pool of water. The splash is what you want, and the ripples are the resonance of your words telling the universe. Widen your perspective, think about your splash on a grand scale and imagine your words rippling out into the energy into the universe. Those vibrations come back reflecting your dreams and desires back to you.
Be careful of what you ask for, whatever you say, the universe will reply, ‘Right, is that what you want, let’s see if we can help.’ Be aware and listen for the universe’s reply. Subtle clues to reassure you and keep you heading in the direction of your goal.
- Firstly, asking for what you want from a space of personal alignment.
- Secondly, becoming more aware of opportunities that cross your pathway.
- Thirdly, positive action towards your desires, reaffirm what you want.
We are all energy, swimming in an ocean of energy, in a universe of energy. The laws of attraction, like attracts like, people with the same interests and desires naturally gravitate together finding the same frequency. If we can direct our energy, we can attract what we want into reality, one positive step at a time towards our goals.
Positive energy
Belief and positive energy are transformative forces. Know that the universe is working in your favour, create a mindset where you can start to become aware of limiting beliefs and remove them. These often manifest in the form of – you are not enough, or you don’t deserve this, or you are just waiting for things to go wrong. The universe responds to what you project, positive thoughts lead to positive reactions, but no one can be positive all the time it’s just not realistic. So, what is the key?
Be natural and be yourself, set the intension and move into a space of allowing the ripples on the pond to flow through you. Be open and don’t hold on to any thoughts or feelings, allow them to pass though you and be guided by your natural self, feeling goes so much deeper and is the tool to navigate the returning ripples on the pond. Your body and natural self are far more attuned to the feedback of the universe than your conscious mind is, listen to your body and intuition. Know that every vibration in the universe supports your journey and allow whatever comes up within you to flow freely, positive thoughts come and go the same as negative thoughts. Remember the feeling of your desires and dreams and work to follow the feeling. Be who you are, speak and react to your truth and the universe will work with you every step of the way.

It Is Always Both: Intention and Perspective

Life is full of dualities, yet everything is simply what it needs to be in the moment. Our perspective and intention shape our experience of the world around us.
Imagine a gentleman enjoying his morning coffee in a quiet, sunlit room. The aroma of the coffee fills the air as he gazes out the window, he senses a crisp morning breeze as the trees sway gently in his garden. He takes a deep breath, feeling the freshness of the day ahead. After breakfast he decides that a walk, he reaches for his jacket and is about to pick up his walking stick but notices an umbrella by the door. On this particular morning, the umbrella is not just an umbrella—it is the perfect walking stick. It serves the need at hand, supporting his steps and playing its role.
The following day, the gentleman finds himself in the same routine, morning coffee and looking out of the window and feeling the same pull toward a morning walk. As he reaches for his jacket, he sees the walking stick and umbrella, he smiles and picks up the umbrella. Halfway through his walk he feels drops of rain on his face and hears the splashes on his jacket. It is always both, the walking stick becomes the umbrella and protects him from the rain.
What is the umbrella? If left by the door with no immediate intention, it is both a walking stick and a shield from the rain. It exists in potential, ready to be shaped by the needs of the moment. This simple and powerful realisation speaks about the potential of energy around us and the way we navigate our own lives.
The Power of Perspective and Intention
This story highlights a fundamental truth: we have the power to shape our reality through our perspective and intention. The same object, the same situation, can take on different meanings depending on how we choose to engage with it. The umbrella is always both—it simply awaits the intention that will define its role.
Similarly, in life, we always have everything we need. We often look outside of ourselves for fulfilment, success or happiness thinking it comes from external sources. But in reality, we carry the tools and resources we need within us. The key is to recognise that everything we encounter can serve multiple purposes, depending on how we choose to perceive it within the moment.
Manifesting our Desires
When we step into any situation with the belief that we have everything we need, we unlock an extraordinary ability to manifest our desires. Our mindset shapes our reality. By focusing on abundance rather than lack and by seeing opportunities instead of obstacles, we empower ourselves to create the outcomes we wish to experience. Just as the gentleman instinctively knew the umbrella could serve his needs on both days, we have the ability to trust that what we require will be available to us in the moment.
This principle applies to every aspect of our lives. A challenge can be something that destroys us or becomes a lesson to simulate growth and new opportunity, depending on our perspective. A setback can be a failure meaning we give up or a redirection toward something greater. It is our awareness and intention that determine the meaning and impact of our experiences.
Embracing the Duality of Life
Life is not always black and white. It is fluid, ever-changing and filled with the most wonderful possibilities. Navigating life successfully is grounded within our ability to see beyond other peoples or societies definitions. When we embrace the idea that all things can be both, that we are not limited by singular purposes or fixed paths, we open ourselves to a world of opportunity and growth.
The umbrella is always both. Life is always both and we have the power to define what it will be for us in each and every moment. By embracing this philosophy, we step into a reality where we are not merely passive observers but active creators of our experience.
The lesson of the umbrella reminds us that our reality is shaped by our perception and intention. We always have what we need, but it is up to us to recognise and use it effectively for our highest good. Whether we see an obstacle or an opportunity, whether we feel limited or empowered depends entirely on our mindset. When we step into each moment with trust in our ability to navigate life, we align ourselves with the authenticity of our true power. The next time you face a choice or a challenge, remember – it is always both.

Love transcending space and time

We live on a planet of such wonder, love is within everything and feels like the purest form of experience, the most expansive and all encompassing. Travelling opens our hearts and minds to the beauty around us. The magnificence of mother nature and everything she has created on this planet.
We may think we know about love or maybe experienced it once or twice in our lifetime, but true love changes our world completely. Everything within our lives becomes magical, every moment priceless. All sonnets, quotes and stories of romance resonate in a completely different way, you see and feel a truth within them like never before. People around you notice a change, a feeling of love building from deep in your heart and cascading out through your energy field. True love is a joy that is more powerful than anything within our known reality.
Deeper love
There is a desire, a need to be together. Its uncontrollable, a power like you have never felt. Convention, rationality and morality find a different and meaningful space but they become driven by love. It becomes painful not to be with each other, time passes, and the love only ever deepens falling a little bit further into each other with every thought, every breath.
If two people experiencing this deepening of their love are in the same physical location time moves differently, there is magic and passion with every movement and in every conversation. Realisations cascade and paradigms are broken down, this only works to deepen the space within which love inhabits. The physical bodies become conjoined in a beautiful and rhythmic dance of touch, energetic expression, gazing deep into each other’s eyes and the deepest most sensual sex. The energetic connection builds, messages and knowing in the energy manifest and confirmation is received though simultaneous thought and sexual intimacy.
When distance separates two lovers, the bond does not weaken; instead, it evolves. Messages and feelings flow through the ether, confirming their connection in ways that defy logic. Thoughts synchronise, emotions align, and love transcends space and time, becoming an ever-present force that binds their souls together.
Self-love
Even in the presence of profound love, challenges arise. Doubts creep in, our minds can question the reality of such a connection. Self-worth issues surface, asking, “How could they love me? How could I be deserving of this?”
These moments call us to look back to ourselves and rediscover self-love. True love begins within, with the realisation that we are more than what we see in the mirror each morning. We are beings of light, love, and infinite potential. This understanding deepens the bond between two people, for it is the purity of self-love that allows us to fully embrace the love shared with another.
Mother Nature’s Role in Love
Nature, in her infinite wisdom, amplifies love’s resonance and reflects it in everything we see before us. When two people come together in love, the natural world responds, becoming a sanctuary that strengthens their connection. The rustling leaves, the warmth of sunlight, the rhythm of waves, the true power and beauty of nature serve as reminders of love’s eternal presence.
Love and Togetherness
When two people share a love so pure and unshakable, it becomes a beacon for others. Their union shifts the vibrational field around them, inspiring those they encounter to find and embrace love within themselves. It is a ripple effect, an overflowing of love that spreads, transforming the world one heart at a time.
Love is the most profound gift of existence, a force that transcends space, time, and the limitations of our human experience. It teaches us to see beyond the ordinary and to feel the extraordinary in every moment. Whether expressed through self-love, shared passion, or connection with the natural world, love binds us to one another and the universe supports every thought and feeling.
In the end, love is not something we seek—it is who we are. It is the thread that weaves through the tapestry of life, uniting all beings in a shared purpose: to love and be loved in return.

A visit to Bundaberg – 20 years after

It had been over 20 years since I last set foot on the bridge where Caroline took her final steps. The moment felt significant as we walked the full length of the bridge towards the town of Bundaberg. The sun had emerged, and the heat was intense. Having just come from a visit to the mayor’s office, I was overdressed for the midday sun.
Standing on the town side of the Burnett River, I was overcome with emotion. It felt as though things were finally leaving me; it was time to lay down the remaining burdens and thoughts I had carried for so long. Hand in hand, Elvira and I walked across the bridge. One step at a time, we spoke about everything that had happened since the last time I had crossed it. It was a moment for release—a timely surrender of events that had shaped so many parts of my life. Thoughts and memories of Caroline filled my mind: the inspirational young woman she was, and what we had achieved in her name since her passing.
Earlier that morning, we had arrived at the council building for a 10 a.m. meeting with Mayor Helen Blackburn, Deputy Mayor Tracey McPhee, and Betty Kao. We talked about travel and how much things had changed for backpackers and young travellers since 2002. The world we live in now is vastly different. I felt deeply honoured that they had made time for us and still held Caroline’s memory in such high regard.
We visited the memorial in the bus park outside the council offices. It stood proudly, surrounded by a couple of benches where people could sit and take in the beauty of the park’s flowerbeds. After taking some photos, we drove to the botanical gardens to see the tree that had been planted two years earlier. I was humbled. It was amazing to see the tree thriving and the gardens looking so beautiful.
As we walked through the gardens, we reflected on the work of Caroline’s Rainbow Foundation—over 20 years of effort to help young travellers, or indeed any travellers, stay safe while exploring the world. I knew we had made a difference. Our advice and presence had undoubtedly saved lives. Realising the impact of our work meant a great deal. Our mission had always been twofold: first, to educate the next generation of backpackers to prioritise their safety with the reminder that “nothing is worth more than your life”; and second, to inspire people to follow their dreams and explore the world. Until now, I had never fully acknowledged the extent of what we had accomplished—it had simply felt like the right thing to do at the time.
It was now time to visit the bridge, a prospect I had been dreading. The memories of 20 years ago still felt fresh. We parked beneath the bridge on the park side of town. I immediately recognised the exact spot. As I walked over and looked up, I saw the railings and pillars. I had forgotten how close she was to the end of the bridge when she was thrown over—just five more metres, and she would have reached the other side. Even now, the memory was heart-breaking. My feelings for her had not changed, though my understanding of what happened and my emotions surrounding it had evolved.
We climbed to the top of the bridge and looked out. Sadness and heartache washed over me, but I knew it was time to move forward. There was nothing more I could do; I had done all that I was capable of. Caroline would have been proud of what we had achieved in her name. I paused, letting the moment linger—it felt like a long goodbye.
We crossed to the Bundaberg side of the bridge, and I shared more thoughts and memories of Caroline. The heat was intense, and we took a moment to rest. As we walked back across the bridge, it no longer felt like a journey focused on Caroline’s final steps. Instead, it was about releasing her memory, allowing it to find its own place in the energy of the universe. It was about letting go of the burdens we had chosen to carry and those we had picked up along the way that no longer served us. It was a moment to embrace the present and allow the future to unfold authentically and organically.
Caroline would have wished us the most magical adventures and would have held space for us, just as we had held space for her—in life and in the years since her passing.
To my beautiful sister, I bid you a fond farewell and wish you a journey filled with beauty. I don’t yet fully know where I’m going or what I’ll be doing, but I know I have found someone I love with all my heart. With each step forward, I walk in my own authenticity, unafraid of what’s to come. I know you would have been excited to see what I get up to. Much love.

The meaning and value of colour

Why do we like certain colours and what do they mean?
Colours are incredibly important and can offer a deeper insight into our psyche. Many decisions we make are subconscious, this is partly our intuition or instinctual self, guiding us towards what we need within the moment. A great deal of what we do is so natural we are barely aware we are doing it; our bodies are built to survive on mother earth and keep us out of danger, also and importantly to give us information about what we need and the world around us. We can use colour to listen more closely to our body and intuitive self to give our conscious mind and update as to what our intuition is trying to tell us.
Why do we choose a specific colour scheme?
The different art we buy or cushions we choose for our sofa can relate to what we need from the space and a point we have reached in our lives. In general, we could say, softer tones or pastel colours can create a more relaxed feel, open space for us to unwind and indulge in more relaxing and philosophical conversation. Brighter, stronger colours could help to bring more energy into our lives, more direct conversation and a faster pace of life.
Colours in our home, walk around your home with a fresh pair of eyes. Interior design also can offer an insight into our lives and personal development. Looking back through our clothing style and palette, the flowers we chose each week to decorate our home and the art we hung on our walls can give us a snapshot of our evolution from a different perspective, our intuitions point of view. This awareness and understanding offers a starting point to understand more about our higher self and inform us about we may need for our next step.
The foods we buy. Colour and intuition not only has a bearing on our mood but also our body’s health. In the supermarket we are drawn to certain coloured foods, a memory of taste or knowledge of nutrition, something inside says “I just fancied that.”, it’s our intuition guiding our conscious mind to what our body needs.
Better understanding colour for our wellbeing
Looking at colour within the spiritual world you may come across some preconceived choices for what colours mean. Many people are aware of the colours of the chakra system, although the chakras no longer play a role within our body system, the colour meanings could still apply as it is a foundation within our knowledge bank, blue for communication, green for heart, red for root. Looking back at the history of religion yellow represents higher knowledge, gold, the light from the divine, the creator and all knowing. Yellow is also healing and mother earth, the sun and reason for all life on our planet.
The more mainstream views of colour which can be linked to art, graphic design and modern society, red is for love, blue is for freedom and creativity, pink can represent a more feminine or softer outlook. Interior design trends and fashion trends change with the seasons, a move through the palette and can quite often depict the mood of society. A few years ago, grey was the colour of the moment, when we looked at society and design it was all minimal, the mood was dull, creativity stifled. Art, intricate design and flamboyance was frowned upon. Thankfully today we see a move back to mother nature, pastel colours, greens, browns and earthy tones, a nurturing and wellbeing feeling for life.
All these meaning are someone’s truth and representations of what different colours could mean, it is important to realise it is down to your individual interpretation within the moment. A simple example I like to use is, if I am walking arm and arm along the beach with my partner, red means love. If I am driving in my car, red means stop! In workshops or teaching environments when I ask what people what red means when driving I often also get the answer, anger or frustration. When asking a group in general what does red mean I get a variety of answers ranging from passion, power and energy to grounding and mother earth. All these views are correct for the individual within that moment, the point I make is if we allow colour to be the starting point to opening our awareness to information around the energy of here and now. Moving away from having a fixed narrative, red always means this and so on.
Using colour for yourself
Build your knowledge and repertoire, learn the basic meanings of colour by others but also ask yourself what they mean to you. Be aware, the meanings can change from moment to moment, day to day or over time as you evolve and build your understanding of yourself and how you function. By raising your awareness to colour, you will begin to understand more about what other parts of your being is trying to communicate, your conscious mind sees red as passion and action, asking your subconscious mind, maybe the reply is overload and caution. Asking the different parts of your psyche what this colour means now can give you more information about what your body, mind and soul actually needs for full health and wellbeing.
Use colour in an active way to benefit your day, be aware of the different colours in your life. Design your home in a way where you can recognise different spaces, peaceful and tranquil areas of health and recharge, productive spaces with colours that offer clear thinking and energy. Relaxing and unwinding tones in your bedroom. Choose your artwork carefully, make sure the artist, image and colours all speak to you. Art is a window within your space where you can drift away into your own creativity and dreams. Be aware of the colours you wear, what clothes you buy and what you choose to wear each day, if you have picked something up without really thinkings its usually your intuition giving you some feedback as to what its experiencing. Be mindful of food, what colours and foods you are drawn to, your body is talking to you in so many ways and understanding colour is a great way to listen.

Upholding traditional values and moving forward into a new way of being

The world we inhabit is changing at an incredible rate, in many cases we are not aware of what’s happening on a day-to-day basis and are not always prepared to deal with the agenda which is getting pushed towards us. Many of us don’t feel fully informed, we just know that something doesn’t feel right within us. To me it’s a sign that some changes may not necessarily be for the good of individuals, families or humanity as a whole.
Old systems are failing
With rapid change also arriving within our working life, many businesses are trying to reinvent themselves and we are coming to realise that the old systems are failing. These models are all very similar in nature; project outwards, market products and services worshiping the external in search for something great and profound. The narrative is that enlightenment and happiness can be found out there somewhere in the distant future if only you buy and invest in these things now! Most industries are completely saturated, the consumer is no longer interested and looking elsewhere to find what they need and what fulfils them. I truly feel the needs of the individual has changed, we become nourished, encouraged and satisfied by different things, in many cases coming back to our roots and mother nature (Maybe this was always the case).
Our bodies are changing, we are moving into an age of sensitivity and heightened awareness to energy fields around us and our interconnected nature. People need help and encouragement to understand what they are feeling and how they are now interacting with the world. It’s an incredibly exciting time, but people need help and support more than ever. Coming back into their body and experiencing more of who they really are, more than what their conscious minds has previously allowed them to see.
We work differently
No longer do we go out chasing a dream or looking externally for evolution, love or salvation. Our journey is the search inwards, to be honest it always has been. Our bodies are becoming attuned to a different frequency, becoming more aware of the natural, kinetic and material influences around us. We don’t need to go out looking for the people, they naturally find us as we are all moving together on a frequency of pure love. We follow our feelings, our knowing and move the physical world accordingly. The work is always inwards, stripping back what no longer resonates, removing outdated beliefs and systems to find our truth as individuals. When we listen to the calls within the heart of our being we align with nature, finding a harmony with the world in which we live and a truth within humanity. The work is twofold, firstly, removing what no longer resonates and secondly, taking each step forward with a complete feeling of authenticity.
Cultivating the truth
Our society has been built very much on traditional values. Many institutions built by a group of people who held the purity of an idea in the highest regard, there is an extremely important value in this. The same purity can be said for places, the energy or resonance of certain places is incredible and can hold the greatest power. Previous generations and civilisations knew this and cultivated this energy and power in a way to help and support their communities, gain higher wisdom and connect with their own soul. The foundations these spaces and institutions were built on was solid and from a place of love, the sad fact is that in today’s world many of these have been soiled by greed, money and people following their own agenda rather than that of the highest good for humanity, community, family and mother earth. Thankfully we are now moving into a time where there are people stepping up within these spaces to strip back what no longer resonates and recultivate a truth of love in today’s world, getting back to the original source of the energy and what it means for the highest good.
Moving towards togetherness
As individuals we are intelligent, we know what is right, moral and what feels right for us. I am sure in recent months and years we have all been surprised by decisions made by certain people or by groups of people, it feels like there is another influence at work. This influence wants to keep us disconnected from ourselves and standing up for what we know to be right. The days of following others blindly have disappeared, we no longer believe what people say and need to do our own research, come to our own conclusions.
When we follow the truth of who we are and allow others to find their truth within them and we all move towards togetherness within our own uniqueness. We are part of a group called humanity. We are surrounded by a group of individuals holding space for each other and speaking from their own source and authenticity with the highest good of themselves and each other in their minds and hearts.

One vibration from stillness

Where is love and what frequency is peace? What space can we move into where we can allow situations, opinions, peoples thoughts and intensions wash over us and still find ourselves in a place where we can process and support without losing the alignment of who we are. Alignment is a state of relaxation within our body and emotional self and a state of awareness with our mental and spiritual selves. Becoming aware of what’s happening around us energetically without snagging or getting caught within it, becoming aware of the energetic value without conscious thought or bias. Simply to recognise what is happening around us and release that recognition and thought to allow whatever energy is moving through us to purify and find its own place.
We are not giving, justifying or transmitting
How can we best help others? Everything is always the most difficult with family and friends, the closest bonds and compacted histories. People want to share their thoughts, problems and energy with us. It’s a privilege to be in a space of trust where someone feels they can confide in us, share something personal or a specific situation they are going through. How can we help? First of all, there are two fundamental different mindsets. A generalisation would be the difference between how men and women approach a situation but let’s not get caught up on gender.
Firstly, if a female mindset is used, a person may want to emotionally harmonise with feelings, empathising with the other person, justifying the emotional reactions of what a person was going through. Offer a space of understanding for what has happened and what was currently been experienced. This approach could be very justified within the situation but what it could also do is reenforce limited or outdated belief systems.
Secondly, if a male mindset is used, a person could disregard the emotional content of the situation and move straight to trying to find a solution for the problem. Taking information from the here and now and looking to resolve the issue in the future. This leaves a large part of the emotional wellbeing unanswered and could leave the person feeling unvalidated for what they are experiencing even though a resolution might be found.
Both of these approaches are valid and could always be used in tandem, they have a space where they are incredibly beneficial. This is really how the world has worked in the past. Justify the emotional experience by agreeing with one person or another and solve the problem.
Another area to consider for anyone finding themselves in a space of disagreement could also consider the energetic value of their interaction.
Take the vibrational resonance of the situation, rather than feeding the energetic value of the situation by getting involved and amplifying the energy move to a place of harmonising and a purifying. A simple thought to hold space for yourself and hold space for the person you are having the interaction with, not getting involved energetically will allow them to process their thoughts and feel what’s coming up within them. They then use the alignment and resonance of your system to help them process and purify, feeling your energetic attunement and matching it with their own. You offer safety and security without getting involved. Hold your space, a passive but strong vibration one note from stillness.
Holding space
We all live within multiple paradigms of thought and belief, some of our own making, others of family both past and present, friends, community and of course society as a whole. It is beneficial to remember this when working with other people, their paradigms are not the same as ours although there will be many of the same or similar due to the nature of our community and societal normalities. When we listening to others, constructs of society or any concept or idea and we have a reaction we are feeding the paradigm. We are fuelling an idea or energy giving it life and power, if this paradigm has negative connotations both people’s agreement and disagreement feed it. If we can simply remember – it doesn’t have a power source of its own, it needs ours. By holding space, staying within our own vibration, listen but don’t emotionally or energetically feed or react. Holding space shows the individual or group that you are not restricting or dictating any of the space you are holding for them. Holding space means freedom for the other person to move as they choose without energetic judgement or confinement, they then have the opportunity to recognise and release any paradigm within their energy field or belief system. Hold your space, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually one vibration from stillness.
Choosing yourself
One of the most difficult choices in life is to choose yourself. It can be perceived as selfish or having a lack of empathy for other people. We all feel like we want help others, if someone comes to us with a problem or shares their troubles we want to help, we treat them with respect and caring, we treat them that way because we love them. It should be exactly the same for us, we have an opportunity to move to a space where we can treat ourselves like someone we love.
When we choose ourselves, we step closer to our true power and potential. We come to realise what we want and how we see the world around us. It is the same when we listen or work with others, hold space and allow them to choose themselves. Allow them to find the energy, solution and frequency of healing within themselves. What can happen is when someone comes to us, we want to fix the problem for them or tell them our solution and give them our power and energy. If we do that and they solve their problem, who’s win is it? Or if they don’t solve the problem but tried to implement our solution and it didn’t work, whose fault was it?
Be yourself
Once people start to choose themselves, they step into a space where they begin to become aware of the paradigms they are living in, from that space they are able to make decisions around what resonates and what no longer resonates within their life. It is not an easy journey when you start to realise that many of your behaviours, choices and life philosophies no longer ring true. The question arises, who am I?
Just be yourself. You are not a fixed idea or a specific role within this world. You are a multidimensional being who has choice to be whatever they feel like within each moment, give yourself the space and freedom you deserve. You are not only the sum of your life experiences or that spiritual or divine aspect of purity, but you are also so much more. Give yourself the freedom of opportunity to be the multiple aspects of you and the freedom to experience the wonder of this physical world.
One vibration from stillness
Finding a peaceful alignment. Your physical self, your body is here for experience and feedback, we don’t tell our body what to do, our body is telling us what it is experiencing. Allow your emotions to flow through your body and listen to what your body is saying back to you. Bring your mind back to the present, yesterday is a memory and tomorrow will never arrive, there is only ever this moment now. Become aware of the spirit around you and the energy emanating from mother earth. Find a state of calm and alignment within, feel whole, connected and powerful, it comfortably in this space only one breath and one vibration from stillness.
Where is love?
Love is expression and emotion, no one can tell you what love is, you have to experience it for yourself. Our role as human beings is partly to be a signpost and mechanism for love, processing information through our body and experiencing the world around us, interpreting our experience creatively through speaking, drawing, playing, moving or writing with the energy and authenticity of the moment. Signposting the way for others to find love within their experiences. Love and magic is all around us at every turn if we choose to be present, feel it and experience it.

Magical moments are there waiting to be discovered

Wherever we are in the world, it is almost certain that someone has been there before. They may have even found a moment of magic, a frequency left at a certain point and time on earth waiting to be rediscovered.
These moments are everywhere, once we begin to see them more and more find their way into our awareness. We then have an opportunity to walk through this life discovering magic and seeing beauty around every corner.
Not feeling the magic? Life is busy and we are constantly trying to catch up with our mind as it races forward into a future that never arrives. It separates us from the rest of our body, our spirit and our emotional self, when this happens it’s easy to feel numb, not ourselves or aligned with who we really are. This means that rather than walking into moments of magic we race forward missing them all together.
Bringing ourselves back in alignment
Why do we miss these moments? The simple answer is that we are not ourselves, meaning we are not in our bodies or even present. Taking a look at the different areas that makes us present, a simple way to understand this is to break it down into four main areas, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. What can happen is that physically we are fatigued, constantly playing catch up with ourselves. Emotionally we are drawn to people who we think need our support, our love and energy given in the wrong way can be incredibly draining on our systems. Mentally we are thinking of tomorrow and all the pressures of our lives, our to do list, the media we consume, our family commitment, friends or our two-week holiday at the end of the year. Also, the past, everything we did wrong, things that didn’t work out. Our mind has many tools to keep us from the present. Spiritually we are saturated, overly experiencing everything with no filter or boundary. Feeling connections with mother earth, people’s energy or psychic connection, the unseen world and spiritual energies. Our own spirit doesn’t know where to find us, we are not present.
The work is around bringing ourselves back into alignment with the present. Physically, feel your body and listen to the feedback it is giving you. You don’t tell your body what to do, you listen to what your body is experiencing and telling you. Emotionally, bring your emotional energy back to you, focus on primarily caring for you resonating in your own love. Mentally, there is only ever the present, the past is only a memory and tomorrow will never arrive, be here now. By bringing these parts of us back into the present we can connect with our spirit or spiritual energy, the spark of light within us. This gives us an opportunity to become more aware of our surroundings, mother earth, the energetic world and unseen realms. The more present we are the more we start to walk in a different frequency and time becoming aware of the magical moments around us.
Becoming aware of these special frequencies and moments
It is only a simple thought away, bringing ourselves into alignment within the present allows us to open to the frequencies around us. We can be more decerning about what’s happening and have more information to process from our mind, emotional state and body feedback. Mother earth, the energy of our ancestors, humanity, society and animal kingdom. All these frequencies within time are available in our present, we can step into the energy and power of these energies at any time. It is always up to us. When we are working within the present moment, we become more of our truth, that deep knowing within us, it’s a space where another part of us activates and life finds a different rhythm. We find time to step into each moment and realise the magic that is there waiting to be discovered.
Locations on Mother Earth
All of these energies are vibrating at slightly different frequencies. Imagine civilisations of the past, our ancestors stopped in certain spaces, felt the resonance of the earth and found special places on the surface of the planet which offered a harmony or space where it’s possible to access greater wisdom or healing. These magical points are openly available for each one of us to stop and share a moment of presence and appreciation. Ancient sites of lost civilisations were chosen for a reason, there are places around the world which have a strong and powerful energy. A source of power which can be used by people to purify and resonate deeper love. Channelling deeper wisdom from higher beings and other densities. When we act and move in the frequency of the present, we begin to feel drawn to these places and spaces, tapping into that energy and feeling. Resonating purity within our bodies and out into the world.
Aligning with the people around us
Our bodies offer fixed coordinates on this planet within this reality, matter within space and time. We can move around the planet gravitating to various locations where are drawn to, becoming a conductor for a specific energy and frequency. Our energetic signature is personal to us. Our connection to people on a psychic level is unique, people on a similar or compatible frequency will gather together, naturally moving to locations where they can interact and become conduits for transforming energy. This energy is communicated on a psychic level passing to other people on our frequency throughout our network. This energy can also manifest through our creativity in this world either through the spoken or written word, musical interpretation and artwork all with the underpinning vibration of healing energy.
Defining moments in time and space for future magic
The history of our planet is something of a mystery, many civilisations forgotten or removed from the history books. Many of these had deeper wisdom and far greater technology, different sources of energy and ways of tapping into refined frequencies for greater knowledge. The magic of our existence is that now within this time we have an opportunity to radiate our inner light, it’s incredible to think we have been born into a world where we can live the life we want and become aware of the wonderment that has resonated on this planet.
There are pockets of energy, resonating points of refined frequency which are there to be explored, enjoyed, experienced and above all shared. When we find ourselves present within our own alignment, we become aware of moments we can step into and reactivate something from another civilisation or a point in space where someone experienced a magical moment in another time. Everything has already been said, every moment experienced in another past whether it be in a different reality or just a dream of one of our ancestors, it is our role and responsibility to find these spaces and reactivate the grid of magical moments and points of pure love on this planet. When we activate these points, we bring a little more magic into this world.
We need more love at this time on our planet. Finding sweetness in the morning air or watching the sun stream through autumn leaves. Taking your loved one by the hand and walking together down a grand staircase in an old country home connecting with the energy in the fabric of the walls. Walking on the earth feeling wet grass beneath your feet or wandering along a white sand beach as turquoise waters lap around your ankles. Take your time, be present, step into the moments of magic and love around every corner. Take every opportunity, resonate pure love throughout your being and out into the world for others to find.

Authenticity in life and your chosen modality

Whatever philosophy you choose to follow or whatever industry you work in, operate from a place of authenticity. It is very easy to say and seems an obvious statement but it’s something that I don’t feel is always followed, there are many carbon copies or clones who regurgitate the words, quotes or philosophies of others. This becomes even more evident within spiritual communities or people working with energy and healing. Due to the nature of the work, the levels of sensitivity to energy makes people more aware of who are more authentic practitioners, the unauthentic or fraudulent stick out and are revealed quickly.
Learning from others
We all need a teacher or guide, part of our journey through life is learning and education, as humans we pick up new ideas with incredible skill and speed. From our early years, learning to walk, talk and communicate to our later years where we refer to learning as upskilling or personal development. Everyone can teach us something, the more we are able to interact with people the more we learn, interaction is key.
When looking at body somatic, energy work, mediumship and healing there are some wonderful tutors in the world. Some incredible people who share selflessly their knowledge and insight. A tutor once said to me, “I want my students to be better than me.” A humble statement and I am sure many tutors learn just as much from their students as they share. Some of the best I have found hold space for their students and work alongside them as part of the course or workshop rather than preaching from a lectern, although of course both methods have their place in teaching.
Choices and directions
Like with everything in life it’s important to feel what resonates within you. The mind is easily convinced, opinions can change and priorities shift depending on circumstance. We make decisions considering many different factors, family, career, friends and what’s happening in the world around us. It is how we are taught to make decisions, logical thinking and making considered choices. Move forward, be goal orientated, find a pathway that keeps people within our life happy and importantly safe and secure. This is an admirable way to live.
Working with energy, healing or any spiritual modalities can be incredibly different. The resonance throughout our being is the most important factor and should be held above all else. Of course, this is not easy and shouldn’t be detrimental to other aspects of your life but and there is a but! Through finding your authenticity and what resonates within you makes you aware of what no longer aligns to the frequency in which you live. The work is to remove things that no longer align to create bandwidth for new things to enter into your life. The pathway is not goal setting to a fixed destination but removing obstacles so new ideas, people and opportunities can cross your path.
Take what you learn along the way, ask questions and find what resonates with yourself. Whatever you choose to do with your time finding your own way of doing it is important, taking knowledge and training from others filtered and interpreted through your own uniqueness can change the way you operate and frequency which you resonate.
Contemporaries and likeminded souls
Doors are opening and new people entering into your life. We can all recognise times within our life when everything has been going well. It feels like we are stepping forward on solid foundations, this feeling doesn’t always last, it’s not something that feels tangible but we know from experience that the more we relinquish judgement with our conscious mind we enter into what is known as ‘flow’, this is where we are resonating on a higher frequency and we find other high frequency beings who are also resonating in the same state. Like attracts like! We find ourselves no longer concerned with what could happen or even what has happened but become active within the moment focusing on what we are doing.
How to become a more authentic practitioner
How does this relate to authenticity and work? It is no longer about understanding or knowing the facts and figures. Authenticity comes with deeper feeling and wisdom, when you have understood something not only on a mental level but when the feeling of something comes in a physical form, it’s a feeling of energy throughout the body system. There is a difference when you speak from memory and when you speak from the energy within the moment. They are very different areas of access.
Language and memory are learnt information which gives the authentic practitioner tools to work with and the ability to speak to people in terminology they will understand. Speaking from the energy of the moment will add an energetic value and update to the words allowing a rise in vibrational resonation and unity within the frequency.
It is an incredibly simple concept; you always have everything you need and speak spontaneously without bias. It is also incredibly challenging as it goes against everything we are taught. Our conscious mind likes a plan and to follow a script, its comfortable. To get on a stage or stand up in front of a group with nothing is daunting but remember you don’t have nothing you have everything without restriction. It is about trust and knowing you have done the work.
Authenticity is not just with the work, it’s not something you can switch on and off. We are at a point in our history where change is driven by our energetic signal that is always resonating whether we are working, relaxing or sleeping. This is the point of change to define a positive future.
The conscious confirmation. It is so simple to just be ourselves. How do we know we have done a good job? Confirmation comes after the fact, this is a very different way of working, it is not how we have been taught in the educational system or the business world. Everything must be quantifiable in order to have value. Work within the moment knowing you are always giving what is needed, confirmation for the conscious mind comes in the realisation of change what comes to pass in the people you are working with.
Where do we go from here?
For the conscious mind it may feel like a leap of faith, but somehow it just feels right. Find what resonates and make it your own, live it, practice it and teach it to others in your own unique way. This shift in belief allows you to access a greater part of your being, changing the physical world around you and how you interact with people, putting you on a different frequency with others who have made the same decisions. It can not only change your world but also the consciousness of society. Living and making decisions only with the conscious mind will not fully connect us with all the parts of our humanness.
Life now opens to limitless potential. When we are able to find the space of authenticity within us, we access information from our greater self, we do not recite the work of others or follow teachings we don’t fully understand. We create space with others bringing forward more opportunity and holding space to find more of our authenticity. For me authenticity is not about operating from the conscious self or logical mind is resonating from the feeling of our being, the highest feeling which is pure love. When we find the pure love setting within ourselves, we move to a space without judgement, simple holding space and experiencing the endless beauty of what is.
