Spirituality

-

My approach to spirituality is that each of us experiences the Divine through our own selves.

We can have a sense of divine energy in so many everyday ways such as human connection and kindness, the birth of a child, the death of a loved one, the awe and wonder of nature, or music, for example.

I believe in being open to receiving experiences of a spiritual nature, and really noticing how we feel. Becoming deeply aware of our inner world, listening and being present has been the key for me to discovering my inner divine self.

I believe that the intellect is a barrier to spirituality. You can’t get to God through the mind! Grounding into our bodies by engaging our senses in ritual practice brings us a strong opportunity to reconnect, to re-centre and it opens a doorway to sensing beyond the physical, mental and emotional to the spiritual.

 


In my experience, spiritual practice leads to awakenings and healing.

What is an awakening? When I experience an awakening a new sense of clarity comes upon me. I feel renewed in some way, as though I’ve just remembered myself. The absolute truth that I am loved and safe is all that I know, and everything I have previously understood is re-interpreted from this new place.

New epiphanies and awakenings, new states of peace and grace and being, are always available.

With spiritual practice comes increased self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-love. These vibrations allow us to release old pain, trauma, wounding and grief.

My own spiritual journey has been entwined closely with personal healing. I believe that with spirituality comes healing, and with healing comes spirituality.

I believe that we, as human beings, are all spiritual beings. Embracing this aspect of ourselves can be incredibly satisfying and fulfilling.

I want to encourage all of us to discover our very own divinity!

I welcome you to find access to your spiritual home through sharing Honouring spiritual practice with me. You will experience many influences including shamanic, pagan, druid, buddhist, celtic mystical christian, hindu, goddess, new age, zen, angels and spirit guides.

Perhaps one of the biggest influences in my spiritual life is AMMA (Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi), who embodies the qualities of the Divine Mother. Read more click here. Amma is Hindu by birth but says that LOVE is her religion. She famously teaches that “we are all beads strung on the same thread of love”.

I have been attending Amma’s UK programme since 2006 where I experienced incredible synchronicity and healing. At the time I was in a world of pain and believed that nothing could help me. After three days meditating in the presence of Amma, I was no longer in that intense agony, and I could truly say that I had been touched by Grace.

Since that time my husband Mark and I have been practising Satsang (a Hindu style of spiritual service) at home and have attended Amma’s programme in the UK every year.

I want to encourage you to take the experiences of your life that have touched you and go deeper with them to find your spirituality. Perhaps you will discover new influences as well?

Shamanism, Paganism and Earth Religion

    Watch a video about why I love earth spirituality here . The Earth religions are the oldest we know of and, I believe, are the foundations of all spirituality. The honouring of the elements (earth, air, fire, water and spirit) and the directions (north, east, south and west) are common around the world, especially with indigenous tribes. The Chinese tradition observes five elements which are wood, fire, earth, metal and water.  The mainstream religions still include the elements in their rituals today, such as the Hindu fire ceremonies, the offering of the elements to the Christian altar, and sacred buildings around the world are usually oriented to a specific direction. In our observance and honouring of nature we find perfect balance. There is balance between masculine and feminine, creation and destruction, night and day, outward and inward. These opposites are, I believe, in deepest truth, in union with each other. When we are steeped in spiritual e...

Being Psychic

  I find that people are curious about what it means to be psychic, how that feels and how it is experienced. So, I feel prompted to speak a little about this from my own perspective. Firstly, I often feel I need to reassure people that I am genuinely not telepathic! Your thoughts are privately your own. I can’t read your mind. Also, I don’t remember every detail of any psychic messages you may have received from me. This is because when I am transmitting psychic messages to people or into my writing, I am acting as a conscious channel. I am merging my cognitive comprehension and communication abilities with the divine forces that I am receiving the information from. I pass on the information as though I am a communication device. Psychics have abilities and skills which mean they are able to see (clairvoyance), hear (clairaudience), and sense (clairsentience). They then interpret the symbolism of these messages and translate the meaning to their clients. When a psych...

Entering Winter

  Entering Winter can be about entering leaner times. Times when there is (historically) less food available, times when there is less warmth from the Sun available, times when the physical environment is more harsh. As a devotee to personal transformation, I am always looking for the “treasure”.  I find that one of the symbolic and refreshing things about these leaner times is the scaling back, the decluttering, the simplicity. For me, there is beauty in the clarity of the season. As I look around in nature, I am able to see through the trees (now they have no leaves) to the views beyond. To me, this resonates with a theme of fewer distractions. The expanded depth of vision provokes feelings of release from confusion and overwhelm. Simplicity and clarity can feel purifying, bright and light, like the snow. For me, this is some of the mental, emotional and spiritual treasure of the winter and of the leaner times. Y...
