I just wanted to write a quick post on gratitude and being thankful, following on from the gratitude stone post I wrote a while back. Sometimes in our busy daily life we forget just how lucky we are to be alive.

How is your life? Is it good? Do you have problems at the moment, are you healthy? For most of us, if we looked upon our life from an objective point of view we would realised we are blessed with a beautiful life. Yes, we may have issues and things going wrong, but these are probably quite small and trivial in the grand scheme of things. You may have trouble with a friend or family member, arguing a lot lately. What you need to keep in mind is that this is insignificant. It will work itself out eventually. Has your car packed up? Don’t stress, get it fixed. Sure, it will cost you money but you will live. read more

Today we stand and live in an age that is pushing us ever on, faster and faster. We are driven by society to do more and more, yet we still have the same 24 hours in a day. Work work work. It’s like we wake up on the rollercoaster and only step off when we go to sleep at night.

Most people don’t even have the time or awareness to notice how hectic our lives have become, or how far we are straying from the path of a spiritual life and our connection to the source.

If you are reading this, chances are you are interested in a better way of living and may even have noticed how your life has become so manic. The point of this post is not to cause worry and panic about the way we live today, more to help people open their eyes to what is REAL LIFE. Once we do this we feel much better, more connected and happier. read more

Yesterday I asked one of my dogs if she could give me a tip to help improve my animal communication technique. She told me to “do it with an open heart”. Simple as that. It’s incredible how deep animals can be. Having an open heart will improve your communication, whether it’s telepathically with animals or in everyday verbal talk with humans. An open heart helps on so many levels and whether the recipient notices it or not, they will be affected by it in some way.

So please, talk with an open heart. read more

Love is hard to describe, yet is probably the most powerful thing in our lives. They say ‘love conquers all’, and ‘all you need is love’, but what exactly is it? Here are 15 of the greatest quotations on the subject of love, by some of the deepest thinkers, writers and poets of all time. Immerse yourself in the madness we call ‘love’…

“Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly and without law, and must be plucked where it is found, and enjoyed for the brief hour of its duration.” D. H. Lawrence read more

For several years now I have received a daily email from White Bison which contains a spiritual message, or ‘thought of the day’ if you will. I find this a good way to encourage spiritual thinking and allows you to digest the words in your own time.

White Bison is an American Indian non-profit charitable organization offering healing resources to the Native American community nationwide. Many non-Native people also use White Bison’s healing resource products, attend its learning circles, and volunteer their services. You can sign up for the daily Meditation of the Day which will arrive in your email every morning to bring you a spiritual message that will encourage a healthy mind. read more

I think most people who are lucky enough to have a spiritual outlook on life try and live by a few core principles which help to keep them focussed on their spiritual path throughout the day. Personally I have three which I keep referring myself to: Love, Peace and Understanding. For me, these are a guide for everyday living. They offer a base by which anything can be created, overcome or discussed. These qualities can conquer all.

I try to remember these when talking to people, working or just relaxing. Perhaps I’m talking to someone who is rubbing me up the wrong way – I’ll try to remember understanding so I don’t judge them in my mind. After all, we are all making the best of our current state of mind. That’s an important thing to remember. Sometimes we are in a spiritual place in our heads, sometimes we are angry and do stupid things – but we are all doing our best for our current situation. read more
