Energy of the Spirit

Ever had a hunch or a gut feeling? Ever had a sense that you knew something good, or bad, was going to happen? We often fail to credit our intuitive ability and yet it’s operating all the time – you just might not be consciously accessing it. Ever regretted a decision and then looked back and knew even before you made it that it wasn’t right? Ever missed an opportunity and then seen that the clues were screaming at you in bright neon and you were simply unaware? We all tap into our sixth sense differently – some people feel it viscerally with a felt sense, some hear messages, some ‘see’ the way through. Some people ‘sniff out’ opportunities, some people have prophetic dreams. We’re all unique. The trick is learning your own unique way of tapping into this powerhouse of wisdom.

Welcome to ‘You Matter ‘show – Living the Real Dream

Touch is our most fundamental sense. In this show we explore why it’s so important, what happens when this sense is neglected, and how it is so pivotal in our expression of who we are in the world.

Our skin is all that stands between us and the outside world. It protects us from harmful bacteria and the rays of the sun. It keeps fluids in, helps regulate our temperature – but more than a shield. It lets in world through touch. It’s a sense we tend to take for granted and yet it’s the first to develop and the last to leave. Our skin is the largest organ in the body. Read the rest of this entry �

Welcome to ‘You Matter ‘show – Living the Real Dream

We’ve explored vision, touch and smell. How about taste?

What flavors make you feel good? What foods soothe and nourish? This is way more important than perhaps you realize. It’s so easy to rush our food and drink without truly tasting it. With the fast pace of modern life, eating on the run, or in the car is a daily habit for many. And yet if we realized how important our sense of taste is, not just in terms of savoring and enjoying our food, but also in terms of savoring life, and connecting with what truly matters. One of our clients, a well-known musician was shocked to discover how little he tapped into his sense of taste and smell. Rushing from one gig to another his staple diet was fast food and TV dinners. Tears welled in his eyes as he realized how much that was not only affecting his health but his clarity of thinking, and his creativity. Read the rest of this entry �

In 1998, she was re-introduced to her own spirituality, first with the Celestine Prophecy, Read the rest of this entry �

Are there certain fragrances that instantly transport you back in time? The smell of baked bread? Cut grass? A particular cologne your mother wore? A special blend of coffee?

Our sense of smell is the sense that is most closely linked with memory. When we breathe in a fragrance the way it gets processed in the brain is such that it connects instantly with our emotional center, and so elicits a response. It is a fabulous way to bring a sense of calm too.

What fragrances bring a sense of calm for you? Which ones are soothing and comforting for you? Those will be the ones you’ll need to call on at times when you need to handle stress. Read the rest of this entry �

What part does sound play in our enjoyment of life? How does it impact our mood, our creativity, our relationships?

Here’s an interesting phenomenon: Picture the scene – the film’s rolling, images of streets, sky scrapers, people walking. The music is sinister and unharmonious. There’s a creepy horror movie feel about it as if something bad is going to happen. The images appear sinister.

Fade to black.

Now, play the same piece of film, this time with something beautiful playing in the background, let’s say Pachelbel’s Canon. Read the rest of this entry �
