Strip away who you "think you are" and you will find who you really are waiting patiently for you to return. Start by letting go of your name......

Hi Guys Sorry to have dropped off the radar recently but the recent shift has necessitated that I spend time redirecting my architectural practice ... therefore my contribution to all my ning sites has slowed. However I have been looking at my old...

Do you positively and powerfully take responsibility for your health and happiness today?
YES!

About me
A Little about my life so far
I decided to enter this life as an Aquarian with many Gemini traits. My north node is in Leo, which is my soul path .... and I have to say that this has caused my personality some considerable soul searching.

Living life consciously in each moment is my greatest challenge. Learning to trust my expanding intuition has also been an interesting journey which is continuous and exciting. I went through a phase of "mind over feeling" ... and there is nothing like getting side-tracked down a hole in the ground from time to time ..... painful!

I have spent many years teaching design and learning to express my creativity through encouraging others to do the same.

My search
It all starts with the need to find out more and that is what I did...I read extensively, joined yoga and meditation classes, organised courses into self discovery and so on ...... chasing the ellusive "I". I even studied Traditional Chinese Medicine and started up a College in Christchurch New Zealand ..... but although I find I have healing abilities, I realized that I was not destined to be a practitioner this life .... it seems I had done it all before.

Eventually I discovered that the ellusive self was only a breath away ... in the space between the thoughts, breaths, milliseconds ... waiting patiently for me to come home.

And so now I spend a great deal of my time inspiring others to stop chasing their "stuff" and simply fall into themselves. In dong this I remember to "be" who I am.

Thanks for reading this far ...... best wishes.

Quietening the Mind

THE BASICS
Every Monday a group of people arrive on my doorstep to attend the evening group session called "Meditation Plus". During this time we chat and catchup to see how everyone got on with last weeks exercise. Then we generally discuss some spiritual topic that is relevant to those attending. The next step is to guide everyone through a 20min deep meditation in order to connect with a deeper part of themselves. During this time they explore an aspect of the previous topic to see wha… Continue

Moving from Head to Heart

Introduction
The distance from Head to Heart is more or less 300mm, 30cm or 12". Yet for many inhabitants on this Planet, the perceived journey from head to heart can be measured in light years. With the exception of touch, the head contains all of our major sense organs - eyes, nose, thinking mind and visual capability. We cock our head on one side to gain greater listening power or squint to see more clearly, and we interpret the signals of others from the expressions that we "think" we… Continue

Healing from the inside out

From Inner to Outer
I have always been fascinated by growing things. When I was very young I spent many a happy hour exploring the secrets of a wonderful London garden. Of course that garden no longer exists and has become a tiny experience within the memory of "Michael". But being there or not, provided me a place in which to watch the growth of "living things". I was particularly fond of watching buds break out into leaves and flowers - from one tightly bound enclosure - into the freedo… Continue

Being fully Present

The persistant mind
Walking the dog around the park this morning - or was the dog walking me .... anyway ...... as we were walking, I became aware that it is never easy for my "personality - Michael" to remain in the present moment. "I - the real soulself me" became aware that, whilst the dog was trotting around, keeping one eye on me and her nose firmly to the ground, it was (Michael) who was not really "here - in the park". Michaels thinking mind had grabbed his attention and diverted f… Continue

Moving into the 5TH Dimension

Introduction
As we move towards 2012 the pressure for us to evolve is becoming greater. The failure of fixed systems or structures is now very evident within our banking, commerce, religions, societies and so on. The opportunity that these failures bring, is one of the chance to rebuild in a different and sustainable way. One of cooperation and less one of competition. A time of feminine energy - receiving, inner knowledge, nurturing and creativity. This new way forward for planet Earth i… Continue

The Law of Dharma or Purpose in Life
Everyone has a purpose in life . . . a unique gift or special talent to give to others. When we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.

- Deepak Choprah

Hi Michael!! Your new group is so cool, and your posts, just amazing. I wanted to stop by and say hi. Greetings from Colorado, where we are currently having a snow blizzard, yes we are, though it is not as extreme as the news is making it out to be! lol
Have a great evening.
