*That I've read. Books that explore Higher Consciousness, Personal Transformation, Enlightenment, Toltec Wisdom, & the Nature of Existence. I'll begin by saying that my repertoire isn't massive. I've never deep-dived down the rabbit hole of reading a lot of spiritual books, wary of soaking up too many spiritual ideas and it becoming a heady quest for knowledge rather than an experiential exploration of truth and self. BUT, these books have all had profound influences over my

A collection of Poems on Emptiness, the substance of all life that is unimaginably full. I re-found these in one of my journals I was flicking through :) ~ It is in stillness. It is in silence. It is in quiet. It is in life. It is in love. It is in heart. It is in peace. It is also in sadness. It is also in grief. It is in pain, hatred, relief. It is in everything, for it is everything. And I am it, as are you. ~ Falling, Floating, swimming in stillness. An embodiment of some

Returning home, de-cluttering the mind, discovering higher states of clarity, buoyancy, aliveness, freedom. Just wanted to share this elegantly captured video from a Meditation Retreat with Rohan Heaton held four times a year in Yallingup Western Australia, where I teach yoga and cook!

We were born of love, as love, created by the act of love merging. Maybe you remember what it felt like to rest in that state of unconditional love as a child. The sense of lightness, open-heartedness, freedom. The capacity to fall in love with anyone, anything, at anytime. Fall in love with life itself, as it is, for no reason. Because there was an understanding, without being conceptually understood by words or thought, that that's what you were. Before the labels and the p

Cultivating a morning ritual that opens you up to meet the day with vibrancy, clarity and buoyancy. Sometimes I get asked what I do to get in the 'flow-state' as a writer, so I thought I'd share it here for anyone else wondering how to up their efficiency, and strangely it begins with a morning ritual that has nothing to do with writing. Having a morning ritual was something I began as a teenager to align with myself. A deeper self than the one I yet knew, but sensed beneath

How clean, conscious eating helped free my mind from limiting beliefs and unlock higher clarity, energy and joy! When I was young I was sick a lot. I have an extremely sensitive stomach and system that reacts severely against anything remotely toxic, but when I was younger, I didn't understand this. I just thought there was something wrong with my body, and when I was having little luck with traditional doctors in figuring out what the 'wrongness' was, I started looking at

Everywhere you look, someone's doing yoga. But why? Why are you doing it? Say Yoga was a tree; the fit, toned, nimble body you might be stoked about would be one of the leaves. Just one. A flimsy bi-product. Your sense of connection with yourself and the healing you might feel each time you hold a pose long enough for a deep emotion to rise and release; the branches. The sense of stillness, and silence you might find by the end could be the trunk. But the majority of people a
