Breathe Abundance

Intention of the day: to Breathe Abundance - allow for the possibility that everything you need is right here right now....

Are you crazy?? All around the contraction is tightening- the so called trickle down effect is well in place. We are all being squeezed by the economic recession- the global slow down. Somehow in the last few days i have been feeling this reality nipping at my heels- its a strong consensus. Its hard not to believe this- not to become yet another victim to this thinking.

In this consensual reality How can we possibly believe that there is abundance? How can we possibly believe anything different? Well this is exactly the point - this very simple thought came to me- if there was money before and money is simply energy then there is money now- energy does not disappear it simply changes form- nothing in this universe simply disappears it can transform. to go along with this- we also know that we create our reality through our belief systems- our thoughts are the most powerful medium of creation.

So the challenge is to change our thinking- really - how many times a day are you worrying about not having enough- about the world that is running out of resources- about the idea that there is not enough money - or jobs, or health care- it leaves us feeling exhausted, depleted and at an all time low. From this place of course there is not enough- how can there be? if i am depleted by my own fear then i cant not create anything different.

It may seem mad to wander around telling yourself that you are prosperous and abundant when you seem to have nothing- however, the art is to find the truth within the statement no matter where you are. Our imagination is the strongest most valuable asset that we have- we can only create that which we imagine- So try this:

Take a deep breath, make that three deep breaths. Allow yourself to let go of your thinking mind for one moment...

Let yourself first feel grateful- for whatever it is that you have right now in your life- maybe your home, a warm bed, a bath, a good meal, a friend, a cool breeze- it really doesn't matter what it is - the important thing it to truly feel it. Feel yourself immersed inside this gratitude.

Great...

now feel a soft smile on your lips- and feel this smile radiating through your being- really the smile can enter into you and change the way you feel inside out.

Good...keep breathing...even if thoughts of not having enough come up let them pass...

Now allow yourself to be truly thankful for what you already have- focus only on what you already have- this creates inside you an emotional state of contentment, happiness..of having rather than not having. This state in the law of attraction will create more of this abundance-

Practice this daily- hourly....when ever you feel yourself stopping to breathe - i invite you to breathe abundance- gratitude- Breathe knowing everything you need is right here...

Breathing Peace- Cultures of Peace

Peace is something WE create or not. We have the power to choose peace and experience it.



Today as i sit to write i have just returned from the silken beach shores of Mauritius- an island of Peace. this tiny island is a place where there is an unbelievable blending of cultural richness- all living together with deep respect.

No its not a lie- here in the middle of the Indian Ocean, between India and Africa lies an island that has embraced a cultural diversity in the most peaceful way i have ever seen. In fact i am now imbued with a renewed sense of trust that Hindu, Muslim, catholic, can all co-exist not in tolerance but actual respect.



The Mauritians are a culture of warmth, generosity, grace and charm- Since gaining independence in 1968 - they have a Democratic elected government which represents fairly the interests of all different denominations on the island. most impressive is the education system- one where all faiths and languages are taught- where every kid learns of all the cultures on the island.



In my conversations with Mauritians i was surprised to learn of this peaceful life- where the quality of life is measured in relaxation- in kindness- and in a sense of well being- of course it helps that it is tropical paradise- that the immense physical beauty of the land holds each person with a breath of beauty- But it is not just that - there are many beautiful places on the planet - the Congo is one of them- but certainly not inherently home to a culture of peace.



After talking to Kavi our taxi driver about his thoughts he said- "its quiet here- we have a culture of being open and warm of talking with one another- of opening up our houses- we like to see happiness- its just the way we are" he went on to say " we are taught very early to be able to understand our differences and to make space for all beliefs. When the white South Africans first came here- they bought with them the mentality of Apartheid- but now it has been all but eradicated because of our education system and the way the island is governed-"



Peace is something we create- it is something we choose each one of us - with in ourselves. After just one week on this magical island i saw more peace in peoples hearts and souls- i saw more genuine kindness and concern-not our of obligation- but out of walking a path of peace and respect for the other. My intention- is to embrace this peace from within- if my cells are at peace then so is my energy- i then can create waves of peace around me as i move through the world- this is the way one peaceful step at a time.....this week i practice breathing peace-

Breathe Unity

We are all connected- knowing that every breath we take has at some time been breathed by all other human being, plants, animals..and the planet herself (yes i know the planet is basically genderless -or maybe accurately encompasses all but in this moment - she is SHE).

Knowing that every thought that we have affects every other thinker is a big thought! And it is one that i have known about for sometime- and right now it is a thought that i am consciously thinking- So basically inside all this mayhem what i am saying is that once we become aware that we are our thoughts- then we can start to accept that we have a responsibility to be mindful of them.

Thoughts can and do hurt, can and do become actions- regularly- and absolutely do attract to us that which we are thinking about. So in the spirit of thought hygiene - I invite you to listen to all your negative thoughts - what ever they are - and to instead replace them with a positive thoughts.....

really it is that simple---It does take practice- we become what we practice......

The soft heart

Before you speak, ask yourself, is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence? Sai Baba


I heard this today: "The heart is soft it can stretch enough to hold the whole universe in a single heart beat"

This morning the temple of my own heart is beating in rhythm with the earth- i find myself reaching out to all those who are in this moment suffering. This is the heart meditation that i learn many many moons ago. To bring inside my own heart all those who i would judge, find wrong, revile and am repulsed by- to sit with them as simply aspects of myself. And in the breath find the forgiveness...it is a courageous practice.

Today it has more significance- the reason- because something happened in the night time dreaming that revealed to me - we really are ONE- Yes yes i know- we are one we all "know it". But what of your heart knowing- does your heart know? Is there really a moment of experience where you can deeply be with this heart knowing- not as a concept -not as a cliche? But as lived in the moment experience. With this awareenss comes another moment of divinity, another deep knowing- that everything we think really does create this universe we are co-creating....

If this is so- then all of communications...ALL of them become very important- for these are the bids we are making to the universe for how it IS.

I heard last night David Lynch on an interview and he was talking about peace- he said something like: "Peace is one of those concepts that we think is nice- it would be nice, but its not a reality- its kind nice in a sweet old lady kind of a way- what if peace was something that is so possible- Peace is not a concept it is a lived experience of the absence of negativity- "

Peace then like we are One is not simply a nice idea- it IS.

inside all of this I am back to the softness of the one heart that is the heat beat of the universe and in this field of unity..we are all beautiful harmonic resonances of the same oneness....

we are now/here and no/body......

My invitation Breathe Heart today- the softness of your heart-

this mediation will change you inside and and out....it will also change the world.....how can it not?

bright blessings to you...

Artistic Activism in the Congo

I returned from the Bukavu and the DRC in April this year. I spent only two weeks there working with kids and women survivors of the terrifying war that is still raging there.

Whilst i was there - I met with Christine DeSchryver Schuler the head of V-Day Congo. As we were talking she told me about Eve Ensler's plan to have a version of the Vagina Monologues be performed in Kinshasa in front of government officials.

If you dont know what this play is about - let me tell you that it is basically an amazing piece of theatre- a collection of monolgues that eve collected as she interviewed women about their vagina's. This play has become a world event being performed all over the world- a loud cry from the collective VAGINA to end the violence against women. i remember seeing Christine's face as she shared about this plan- how would it happen- this is a very conservative country.....well

This morning I am sitting with the warmth and depth of the people I met in the Congo in my heart- as Iopen my email box i receive an update from the V-day organization- it says; Vagina Monolgues in Kinshasa... They DID IT.

I am proud, I am full of spirit- i am full of the believing and possibility that this world is changing- that women are moving in the face of the violence that exists. I am laughing because this is the sheer audacity that gives me reason to keep hope alive inside of me. The thought of the government officials chanting "Vagine" is one that fills me complete joy....

From the bottom of my very full heart i invite you to check this out by visiting the page :

http://www.vday.org/node/1708

My intention: to open my heart to to forgive all those who violate- and walk forwards to end violence against women and kids on this planet.So be it. Will you join me in setting an intention of forgiveness and action...?

The Spirit of Co-creativity



There are two ways of spreading light.. To be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it. ~ Edith Wharton


I am inviting you into co-creativity with me- What does that mean? In my world what I have seen is that the more interest and the more psychic support you can get for your projects in the world - the more energy coming towards you - the more likely you are to find the ways to make manifest those things you dream of.

This is not some new age mumbo jumbo-- energy follows thought. In the past few months I have had many experiences of my own to show me that when I really set a clear intention- and then tell others about it - the more likely it is to manifest.

In short I am the candle to your mirror and you are the mirror to my candle....we can reflect each other back- and in that way we simply produce more light, and more possibility for energy to support our projects. Of course where there is lots of light there is also a shadow!! That is where it gets interesting!

When we sit with clients we are often times the mirror reflecting, and shining back their brilliant essence to them. Sometimes we become the light of a gentle candle that shines into the darkness and illuminates something hidden there.

At times this becomes a two way process where we are both she who sees, and she who is seen. In my work with clients I have come to see the true and amazing value of being in the co-creative process. This is a way of creating therapy that really works for them..of being in dialogue in session as a real woman whose job it is to be the mirror- and whose job it also to be candle that accepts reflection- and feel the warmth of that. This is of course not always easy for sometimes clients will shine their light onto something that I have been doing in my humanness that is unconscious....and then yes the spirit of co-creativity really steps in for I am no different to you.

Today I invite you to Breathe in the spirit of Co-creativity in your life - with your clients- with anyone who you meet. For in every moment there is a potential for something unexpected to happen.

Breathe Vision- The awesome power of Tweeting...The spirit of co-creativity.

I awoke this morning full of energy. Maybe the pull of the full moon? Maybe the awesome pull of collective creative energy??

I feel like I am on the edge of a massive wave- and that I am only just beginning to learn to surf. My life has changed...has yours? I know there are so many articles out there about the social, spiritual impact of Tweeting...and in the last week as i have been slowly developing neural pathways to understanding and participating in the tweet world i have started to feel my brain literally expand- its like an itch that i have been trying to scratch.

A few years ago I said to many people in my world that I felt the Internet to be sentient life force- that it was a paradigm of consciousness unto itself- that it held incredible potential- and now i am sitting in the midst of a very personal experience with this world grid that is being uploaded, downloaded, installed and run in my own being!

As i sit here my typing is being punctuated by the sounds of the tweets that i am receiving- at firs ti found this to be annoying- i actually had the thought-- damn who is bothering me with their thoughts now....what are they trying to tell me- why are they interrupting me....i am smiling as i write this. mainly because now when i hear the tweets after two weeks i feel - "wow i wonder what amazing thing i will learn next" What inspirational quote...what Jewel of a web page i will get offered..."

In essence who will get to co-create with now?

How did this shift take place? It is truly magical and quite the miracle and still i feel that i am only barely understanding where this will all lead- all i know is that in the last two weeks my own state has SHIFTED. And in my system of thinking, healing and being on the planet this is where the most important shifts happen- in each one of us.....

What shifted?

Well I have in the last two weeks been inspired and felt an amazing amount of support as if i have a huge foundation of supporters who are wishing me well on my contributions to the world. Yes having people following you - even if they don't read what i write- even if they do not reply to me that often- i feel them all- I feel the live sentient energy force that is giving me the the YES the green light- which is literally inviting me to step forward and welcoming me to part of the team.

My own brain circuitry has been updated, and is stretching - yoga for the mind. My own level of aliveness is sparkling- i am inspired and most of all i can see that it is all possible - because suddenly i have the amazing unstoppable collective power of potentially millions of other beings all doing the same thing- seeing themselves reflected, accepted, validated, inspired, moved and ultimately deeply invite dot participate.

So this is it for me- i am riding the crest of he wave..visioning and creating and wishing to participate fully- to collaborate in ways that i never before could dream of - and most of to appreciate the divine beauty of a medium that we have collectively created so that we can harness the power of our collective consciousness to make very real changes across all dimensions of our being.

So here is my thank you to all of you who follow, are following are investing energy so that we might as a collective really make manifest our truest intentions....

Bright blessings to you all!!

Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it." ~Ernest Holmes

About Global Wellness

Greetings..and welcome to Create Global Wellness- this page is the home to the collective projects that have been born in the last few months and that continue with your support to grow and become flourishing vibrant examples of how change can really happen in our collective world.

I am Psychotherapist, Innovator, Social Artist, Inspirator, Author, Speaker, Trainer and Performer. Global Wellness is my way in the world. Put simply I am deeply moved to create Global Wellness- in each one of us, in our relationships, in our communites, and in our world. Through creative collaboration, accessing collective intelligence, and partnering with those who are also realizing the immense potential we all have to make a shift- to be the change........

Global Wellness sees that as each one of us wakes up to our own inherent creative ability- we can start to make dynamic changes in our own worlds that affect each and everyone of us. Global Wellness truly starts with you.....it is in the choices that you make every day about seemingly unimportant details that affect you and every other person on the planet.

Most recently I have been collaborating and co-creating with other truly gifted and inspiring people who are also manifesting a major shift in levels of consciousness and awareness on all levels: These poeple are politicians, mothers, authors, scientists, fathers, spiritual leaders, kids, orphans, women surviors of rape, soldiers, visionaries, recovering drug addicts, artists, softeware designers, those with spirit, those with distress, those with no hope and those with inexhaustable hope, and otherwise all extra-ordinary people - they all have one thing in common- the deep commitment and yearning to shift consiousness so that we all see that we co-create this world together- and that we all have the opportunity to make changes on a global level.

Make no mistake our thoughts - become actions and every action impacts all of the co-created world we live in.

My invitaiton to you today is to BREATHE POTENTIAL with me- to see that in each one of us following that which has most heart, meaning and vital importance - then we are shifting and changing the way that our world is.....
