Be Grateful For the Little Things.

-










What is it that brings the most joy into your life? Is there something you enjoy doing, purely for Pleasure? Does time just seem to evaporate when you're doing it?


To be engaged in the act of doing something to it's fullest extent, is to know true contentment.


Neuroscientists have recently discovered that practicing gratitude or the offering of intentional thanks for even the most insignificant aspect of your life can have a positive effect on your brain chemistry.

I wouldn't suggest for a minute that everyone's lives are great, all the time;
we all encounter hardship, struggles and grief. 

What matters is that here you are, this amazing Eternal Spirit Being, living this physical existence, in this moment, doing your very best, day in day out, battling away and surviving through it all.

There's no need to sit in meditation for hours to exercise Gratitude for your life;
Try thinking of any 3 things you are grateful for, when you're stuck in traffic, in the supermarket queue, in a boring meeting at work.

When we make a conscious connection with our interior and Higher Selves and give thanks for what we have and where we are, we can momentarily relax and let go of grasping for what we don't have, for what we are not.
Continually grasping for more of this and that is simply focusing on the lack of that element in our lives now, at this moment.
Ambitions and goals are admirable and have their place in a healthy, balanced life, but when constant striving is used as a distraction or as the only means of fulfilment, every victory will soon become lacklustre and hollow.

True happiness lies in being able to find enjoyment in the little things and at the same time, continue to work towards the life goals you have.

In reminding yourself of where true joy lies in yourself and your life, you will always be secure in the knowledge that You Are and Have Enough.


What a Wonderful Life this really is!



Love and Blessings.

Speaking To The Dead

This work really isn't always as spooky as some people would have you believe. (Please excuse the picture, but I like a bit of theatre sometimes....) My Grandad just turned up at my house.  I was in the back garden, lying back on my lounger, eyes closed, enjoying a beautiful warm Summer's evening. He sat in the green garden chair opposite me and smiled. I hadn't seen him dressed in his grey suit and dark red waistcoat since my Sister's Wedding day, some 22 years ago last week. But he didn't look a day older than then.  In fact, considering he passed nearly 15 years ago, he looked remarkably well. I have been followed around my house all day by a male Spirit. It's something you get used to as a Medium, I have the occasional Spirit guest and by and large they are usually family members. The only time this rule of thumb changes is just before I give a Private Sitting (in which case the Spirit loved ones of the s

  A very warm welcome to you all, I'm glad that you are here.  Incase you are new to my blog, let me explain a little about how I came to channel these messages.  I am a Spiritual Medium, someone who has developed their abilities in order to connect with and communicate messages from those people who have transitioned from their physical bodies, into the Next World. I consider it an honour and a privilege to be able to play my part in such a sacred and important Service.    Not long after I began my development, I was contacted by a group of approximately 7 'Intelligences' who wished to communicate (their often mind blowing) messages through me, in order that I should publish them in some way and make them accessible to all of humanity. None of this was said explicitly, but it didn't need to be because as soon as I began transcribing the messages I was being given, I instinctively knew that these were not simply to be kept to myself, but shared so that everyone who may

A Very Warm Welcome to my blog. Like you, I am on a journey, seeking Universal Truths, Spiritual Wisdom and Guidance. There has never been a better time to forge our pathway towards the centre of our very being, to reconnect with our Spiritual and energetic heritage and realign with that eternal, co-creative, indestructible and expansive energetic individual we have always been. I hope you will join me as we navigate our course together, discussing all things of a Spiritual nature and re-awakening to our authentic Spirit selves and our true purpose for incarnating into this life at this moment in human history. You are All most welcome! Love and Blessings
