A little over eight years ago, I wrote and recorded my first ever guided meditation. I suppose it was fitting that it was called, 'Gratitude', because it was such a good place to start that particular journey. You know that saying, 'not by us, but through us'? That meditation was a gift to me, directly from somewhere sacred. I suspect it came straight from the heart of the … [Read more...] about Gratitude – A Daily Life Line
Hopes and Dreams
Some time ago I recorded a guided meditation, titled Hopes and Dreams, and I published it on the popular meditation app Insight Timer, where quite a few of my other tracks, as produced over the years, are also playing. I am also busy loading new ones that I simply never had the time to share.

Some reading this blog would say, 'I like my own company, but I really want someone to go home to'. Others might say, 'What is the point of life unless one can share it?' The question I … [Read more...] about Embracing Solitude
Wise men and their wisdom
This week the wisdom of two men flowed into my days. The one I have been a huge fan of for many years. The other I have heard about before, but only this week stumbled upon one of his videos. Let's begin with Sir Anthony Hopkins. He is simply my favourite actor. He seems to become the characters he portrays. Someone re-posted an Anthony Hopkins quote on Facebook recently, and … [Read more...] about Wise men and their wisdom
