"Thank you so much for the beautiful reading. I have listened to the recording a number of times, and each time I do, I hear something different, or something else drops a level in my understanding. I was so inspired by your knowledge and clarity that I have signed up to study with you on your philosophy course.” - Fiona C
Fairy Tales suggest that true love lasts forever, but they never show us how. Once the Prince kisses Sleeping Beauty or finds the beautiful maiden whose tiny foot fits the glass slipper, wedding bells ring out over the kingdom and the story is over—with the assumption that “happily ever after” depends solely upon the right Read More…
When love means pain, it’s time to step outside the dysfunction and ask yourself some big questions. What have you learned? Can you envision your “impossible dream”? Love, in the broadest understanding of the word, means a resonance that joins. In its ultimate expression, love binds the cosmos into One. Its essence is harmony, the Read More…
In life, change is the only constant. “All compounded things are impermanent” taught the Buddha, naming change the first mark of existence. Yet sometimes life can feel like a broken record, stuck into a groove that keeps playing over and over and over again. I’ve been there before. Have you? Settled into a cosy routine, you Read More…
“A little knowledge is a dangerous thing,” my Jyotish mentor warned me. Just like in the parable of the blind man and the elephant, you can’t know the whole from touching only a tiny part. When I first discovered Vedic Astrology, I knew I’d found a subject to challenge me for the rest of my Read More…
If you asked most people what time means, it’s likely they’d say duration. The modern world frames our experience. And productivity is the name of the game. How long does it take you to get from A to B? How much work can you accomplish in a day? Where “time is money”, speed reigns. You Read More…
At the darkest time of the year, we celebrate a festival of light. Christmas is a festival of light, lights twinkling from rooftops and windows, candle flames illuminating mantles and altars. In the stillness of a long ago night, it was a kind of miracle. A baby is born under a starlit sky. Three Kings Read More…
Gratitude, you may have heard, is a practice you can do. Get a journal with a gorgeous cover, and every evening, reflect over the day’s happenings. Select five things you feel grateful for. Be as specific as possible—that is the key to this practice. Each day you want to write something new. It is the Read More…
Living a lie takes its toll. Small habits of duplicity build over time, and we women—because of our orientation toward pleasing others—are particularly susceptible. You accept an invitation to a dinner party, when you really want to stay home and read a book. You volunteer to organise the school fundraiser, because the teacher asks you Read More…
I might not seem like a Martian, but beneath the lipstick and silk, lies the indomitable spirit of the red planet. Mars rules my character, my body, my orientation to whatever challenge life presents. Adventure feeds my spirit, purpose the zest that wakes me before dawn. Desire pulses hot through the veins of Martians. Its Read More…
Yesterday I woke up wrecked. A late dinner of fish and white wine has done it to me before. But I was at table with spirited Italians, the octopus fresh and cooked with love, the flavours evocative, the conviviality compelling. Turned out it was someone’s birthday also, so there was no refusing the ice cream Read More…
