Moulding the Life You Love
The treasures inside are infinitely greater than the scraps of the material worldnEckhart TollennBefore I sat down to write this, I was on the sofa with my eyes shut. As I lay there, relaxing and enjoying what I can only describe as a magnificent moment, I thought of a way to make it better.nnLaughing, I called to my partner and asked if she could help me.

The Part The Guru Left Out
In this article I'm going to lay things on the line concerning a couple of phrases you may have heard being banded around spirituality circles. I'm doing this because I think we all owe it to ourselves to develop a fuller relationship with certain areas of our lives. Through the experience of doing this, we can grow.nnOne of the favourite phrases I hear in New Age spirituality is: 'Give what you want to get.' If you want money, you give money and money comes back to you. Anot

Making Money Easily
In my early, to mid-twenties I made money easily, recession or not. I never had any debts, except the mortgage and money just seemed to flow to me. But then it all stopped rather abruptly and for years I was left with one questionâ¦nnWhy?nnIn truth my life changed. It could be argued it completely fell apart. Perhaps the most challenging area of this - long term - was around money and career. In fact I've reflect on these challenges many times, i.e. why do they seem so diffi

Fathers and Sons
One of the issues for boys as they pass from childhood into manhood is the need for a strong role models. nnToday, with so many relationship breakdowns and longer working hours, fathers can easily become shadow figures. Boys without strong male influence will, inevitably, find their own role models to follow. It could be a pop-star, a footballer, Homer Simpson, Pete from Big Brother, or the guy who runs the local gang.nnAs fathers, grandfathers, uncles and neighbours we have

Like a Hammer
Money isn't everything, but when you have it, isn't life a little easier?nnAnd I think it is true to say that money, properly earned and combined with enlightened intentions, it can make the world a better place.nnMoney is an energy tool. 'Like a hammer, money can either be used to build or destroy,â say Mark Victor Hansen and Robert Allen. If this is true then we have a couple of questions to answer: are we going to build something, and if so will it be something that buil

What Was All That About
I ask this question because I've been convinced for some time that life isn't really a mishmash of random events, but an always unfolding adventure littered with clues about what should happen next.nnHere's a short example.nnI finished reading a book on Monday and promptly picked up another. The new book is called 'Slow'. On Tuesday things I'd been promised failed to materialise - the bank failed to transfer money on time, contractors didn't deliver, the lawyers didn't have a

Soul Calling For Expansion
We're met by many challenges in life: mental, physical, economical, environmental, community, cultural, political etc. And sometimes these challenges become painful. This article is about how we face these challenges.nnOn Monday, around 2pm, in Bristol, I hit threshold. By my own standards I'd been taking it easy for a while and I knew I needed a shake up. nnThough my challenge was a physical one, the experience gained can be easily applied to any part of life.

Can We Sort This Conflict Out?
As the old saying goes 'More people fall out over politics and religion than anything else.' And it was this prospect that brought spice to the invitation I received to go along to a discussion involving four local leaders, looking to create greater community cohesion.nnWe don't have to look too far to see conflict. Put on the TV, pick up a newspaper, listen to musical lyrics, children or neighbours. Shall we go into Iran? Where's all our water going? Who pinched the toy? Who

"Hey... Someone Stole My Magic! But I intend to Get it Back!"
It happened at 8.07pm. Holding my partner in my arms, I gazed into the yellow-orange flame as it sank behind the hills. But this article isn't about the magic of a sun-set or the magical feeling of romance. It's about something even more special than both.nnAt 8.07pm I realised something. It was a profound realisation: a profound thought that tripped into a profound observation. nnWhat made the observation so profound is the fact that I was thirty-seven years old and had neve

Let's Get Better At Asking For What We Want
Years ago I went door-knocking. Not any old door-knocking, but the worst kind, cold-call, door-knocking. nnTo begin with I hatred it: walking up someone's drive, ringing the bell and waiting for someone to come, look down their nose at me and reject me and what I had to offer. But the experience grew on me.nnWhen I totted things up I understood I had a one-seven success rate - meaning for every seven doors that got slammed, one opened and one person said yes. nnWhat did this

Have you ever tried to change something about someone else?

Perhaps you've wished for more money or for Mr Right - or Mrs - to come along!nnAlmost all of us want to change something.

Why Not Choose Something Different?
Are you someone who wants to see change in your personal circumstance and in the world surrounding you? n nA short time ago I decided that I didn't much like "reality" and ever since that day, my endeavour has been to change anything about my "reality" that I don't like.n nIt is my understanding that my "reality" is my creation. To this end I've found "I got me into this mess and I'll get me out of it" to be a pretty fair take on life. Have I always felt like that? No. In the
