April looks set to be a month of breakthrough as we begin to find a new way through the maze of life in order to bask freely in the sunlight once again. In many ways, it feels as though we have been going through a long period of hibernation as we have been...
Chaos in the soul is unsettling, but it is a vital part of our personal and spiritual evolution. Without chaos, there is no change, and without change, we cannot grow. Chaos can be frightening, but it can also be a friend. For it is through the chaos, that we find Truth and our sense of Self.
This year I’ve fallen apart. Everything I once held dear has been torn down and ripped away. My beliefs have been shattered, my sense of spiritual connection has disintegrated and turned to dust, and my physical self has crumbled with ill-health and disability.
As the wheel of the year starts to turn once again, the longer days bring more than sunlight, they bring a sense of hope and optimism for a brighter future. Each of us are beginning to find our way through the darkness as we turn towards the sun within our hearts and souls.
Have you ever had a moment of surreal wonderment? A moment when time seemed to pause, allowing peace to rise up and embrace the soul? Whilst writing these forecasts, I found myself looking out of the window to see the rain falling as the sun shone brightly.
What constitutes a fulfilling life? Is it a desire to live blissfully? Is it the quest for perfection? Does fulfilment come from eradicating the ‘bad stuff’? Does it come from opening up to the good?
Being human is a complex, complicated and confusing existence. We are not like washing machines or flat-packed furniture as we don’t come with an instruction booklet.
It would be extremely challenging to write anything about the month ahead without acknowledging the current global pandemic. It would feel a little like I’m burying my head in the sand!
I’m not sure if the words have, as yet, been invented to describe the current moment; there are highs and lows, there are jolts backwards and leaps forwards, there are upward shifts and downward falls. This goes way and beyond a fairground ride to a profound journey within, reaching deeply into the nooks and crannies of the soul.
