SimplY MagiC
It has often been said that what is true is often cloaked in simplicity. For many a human mind, if it's too easy or simple, it cannot be true. An interesting belief that ripples out to manifest this as a Truth. Magic is much the same. In attempting to believe or understand Magic, the cognitive mind has created a complicated mystery. If the magical event is not earth shattering accompanied by fire works, many discount it as mediocre and insignificant. I choose to believe that Magic is all around us all of the time and I enjoy observing how this shows up in my life. Let me share. A few days ago, my vacuum cleaner packed up. So off I went back to the store to exchange it. This has...
The Unexpected Visitor
No matter how much we plan our days and the routines we follow, Life often throws in some unexpected and thankfully truly pleasant surprises for us to experience. As Albert Einstein said "Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous". So there I was 3 days ago bringing in my washing, when I heard this really clear and persistant chirping. Looking in the trees and on the roof, I was looking for this bird with a new song. It seemed to be getting louder and nearer, however I wasn't able to see it. Then, for some reason I looked down and there, crawling towards me was a baby hedgehog. He was chirping quite frantically and now that I knew where the noise was coming from, realised...
Well-Being, O’Well-Being, wherefore art thou?
The dictionary defines well-being (noun) as: “A contented state of being happy and healthy and prosperous.” I feel that this sums up our general aspirations for living. It certainly sounds great to me and really, who wouldn’t want this or something greater for themselves? What I love about the word ‘well-being’ is the way it drips droplets of all-rounded wholeness of BEING. I can feel the happiness, the health and the prosperity. It is such a holistic word, and hidden within its semantic vibration all that is mental, physical, emotional and spiritual, it goes a long way to tick the boxes in the schools of Gestalt, Chinese Medicine, Meditation, Yoga and many more of the...
Did video kill the radio star?
Have you thought of using Radio as a way of getting your message, talents and gifts out to the big wide world? I started hosting my own radio show BE YU Well-Being Radio about a year ago and what a journey it has been. Enjoyment is definitely the word that springs to mind. Having come a long way since those first few shows, today I still have fun and get to express myself and share my opinions. I have had several guest speakers on my show and we talk about some really interesting topics - in fact anything that pertains basically to Well-Being and that provides tools and food for thought and why not, the Soul 🙂 If you are someone who...
Choosing what is right for you.
So, let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start. Who knows and can choose what is right for you? You, right! The only person on this planet that can do this for you, is none other than yourself. Of course, you can turn to others for advice and draw even on your own past experiences. However, when it comes down to it, each choice you make will impact on your life and you will be the one to deal with the consequences. People may tell you that you are oversensitive, selfish, a bore, egotistical, a trouble maker, naive, a dreamer, arrogant, etc - and perhaps they are correct - nevertheless, whatever you may or may not be, you are the only one that can choose for...
What’s the value of being “nice”?
Everywhere you are being "nice" in your life, would you like to give that up now please? I can't hear you, so I am just going to assume that you chose to say "yes". If you did not, well then the rest of this blog will probably not be of interest to you. It was recently brought home to me that my whole life I have been striving to be nice. Of course underlying this was the fear of rejection and not being good enough. I have bent, twisted, contorted, deformed myself in so many ways to try and please others and to be nice, so that I would be ........... accepted and acceptable. Well, not only did all those contortions bring me aches and pains, however they left me in a state of...
Everything I needed to know, I learned from Merlot!
Now, before you think that I have a drinking problem, Merlot is a beautiful black soft silky smooth female cat and not a bottle of great tasting red wine. We adopted each other a few months ago and I knew at the time that she would have a big impact on my life. It had been over 2 decades since I had shared my life with a feline personality and it has admittedly taken me a few weeks to learn and re-familiarise myself with some of their amazing and unique peculiarities. For indeed, they are a personality - as any cat lover will tell you. Cats are after all, renowned for their particularities. And yes, either you love them or you don't. So what has Merlot taught me. 1. Cats are not...
The Struggle with Struggle
Am I addicted to struggle? Is my life-long search to find myself a part of this? Definitely! At least up until NOW 🙂 There is a drama and intensity in struggle, I have found. It appeases the Doing-Part of me. Yet, my Being just waits on the sideline, peaceful, calm, allowing, knowing that the struggle is part of the illusion ............. Whilst in total gratitude for the many authors, songs, personal development techniques that have lead me to this moment, there is, I know a fine line between true Being and struggling to Be. Not quite the same dynamic. I also stand in my knowing that each modality has been a step on the journey and not the journey itself. I stood proudly in...
The FREE Price Tag
FREE! Wow, has this been brought into my awareness over the last few days!! I thought I would do like most others and follow the marketing tips by offering some free coaching sessions. Admittedly, with the intention of drawing more people in. I could just see them just discovering what a wonderful experience this was and then of course, signing up for more coaching. I really thought people would just jump at the chance to experience this. Right? Uh, not quite!! Firstly, I had no fish biting at all. Mmhhhhhhh. Not good enough bait? So I started asking questions. What was right about this that I was not getting? What showed up? 1. I felt deflated that no one had even responded....
In-Visible ?!
IN-VISIBLE?! For the last few months, the subject of feeling invisible has been popping up into my awareness in many and diverse ways. Knowing that what shows up in my external is a reflection of my internal realm, I finally got through the usual knee-jerk re-actions into a new place of actual creation and being the question around this and receiving the missing information. This feeling of being invisible has always felt really heavy for me. It left me in a state of confusion, as if I was wading through thick molasses that slowed me down and any progress hard work and over time exhausting and demotivating. I seemed to be striving for something elusive and always...
