The message today is about ‘containment’. When you contain something you hold it in – if it’s an impulse to criticize, or express anger, then containment may seem an appropriate action. But what happens to the grief, criticism, anger etc that you’ve contained? Unfortunately it doesn’t disappear; it waits for an appropriate release, such as forgiveness and compassion. Our vessels of containment hold many old negative thoughts and actions, and eventually when the container is f

When we discover a ‘cause’ that inspires us and touches our heart, we can devote a small part of our lives to helping that cause. The cause may be with nature; with animals; the environment; people who are suffering; or maybe a friend or neighbour who needs help. Even though we know that our physical life is an illusion, commitment to a cause that touches our heart – as long as the cause is dedicated to compassion, not battle, creates an energy that raises the vibration of th

Do you believe it’s important to de-clutter your home? I’m sure you agree, and have probably de-cluttered many times. But what about de-cluttering your mind? Why hold on to those old negative thoughts and emotions that you’ve possibly stored away for years – or even lifetimes? When you hold on to negative feelings – fears, anger, grief etc they can cause havoc within the cells of your body; when you express and release them they dissipate. Always own your own fear, anger etc

The first message for this New Year is a reminder of bravery and courage; dare to be different from that which you were last year. It’s time to release those old habits and beliefs of long ago; we are worthy of much more! What old behaviour patterns have you been following because this is how you were taught by mothers, schools, and by commonly held belief systems? Now is the time to search for something greater. When you notice – and noticing is the first step towards change

The message today is about ‘benefits’. What are the ‘benefits’ in your current life? What do you think you are benefitting from? Your first thought is probably physical human pleasures, and this is important; too often we focus our attention on what we feel is not benefitting us, and what is missing, so acknowledging that which we feel is benefitting our present life, and making it easier for us, is a good starting point. But then we need to dig deeper. What other benefits mi

Today I’d like to focus on the importance of ‘forgetting’ – not the day-to-day forgetfulness that is often worrying and annoying, but forgetting previous negative behaviour patterns and behaviours, which are no longer relevant. Too often we spontaneously revert to old patterns of confrontation and competitiveness; an underlying pattern of fear learned from difficult lifetimes when conflict and protection were considered to be necessary and acceptable behaviours. The importanc

What we all need to become aware of today is the ‘Good News’. There are so many beautiful stories of loving actions within communities and countries, and when we open our hearts and minds to noticing care and compassion we’ll draw these energies to us, and then we can spread them further. Focusing on fear attracts more of the same and comes from previous times when fear for our safety may have needed to be the focus of our lives. Now we are creating something very different,

Perhaps the most important attribute needed in the world today is compassion. This is often the most difficult quality for us all to develop. When we look around at what is occurring not only on our planet, but in our neighborhood and in our families it is easy to judge and condemn. We often feel unable to offer help for the sad stories we see and hear, but to feel compassion regardless, creates an energy, which will eventually transform our planet. Rather than focusing on r

The message today is about love – not love as we usually believe it to be, but the energy with which we and the universe are created. How do we contact, and get to know this Love? Understand that this is the energy flow that has created the life within everything on our planet – from the tiniest creatures, and nature to human beings. When with intent we attempt to destroy the life within a living creature, we are also destroying the same life within ourselves. When we disrega

When we reach the end of a financial year, we do a stocktake, and list all the lovely products we have created that are still sitting on our shelves. We also notice how many beautiful products we have distributed this year. Now why not do a stocktake of your current life? Not what you haven’t done, or what you perceive to be missing, but all the wonderful experiences and qualities you have created that still remain, waiting to be used, and also those you have delivered? Try t

One reason why we celebrate Mothers Day is because of the importance of feminine, or Venus energy. The importance of this energy has been lost over the decades as male, or Martian energy began to dominate, and our planet was turned towards competition and aggression to solve problems. Now the feminine or Venus energy is gradually beginning to flow over the planet, and the feminine virtues of healing, nurturing, togetherness and wisdom are starting to grow in both males and f

We understand the power of spoken words – the positive as well as negative effects…….but thoughts? No longer can we believe that our thoughts are hidden within us, and if not spoken aloud then they don’t affect anything. Today our thoughts may have a much greater effect than our spoken words. The high vibrational-energy frequencies surrounding and impacting us at present resonate strongly with thoughts. So as well as taking care not to speak words of fear, anger and aggressio

Something which is always under the spotlight at Christmas are our relationships. Relationships are actually the backbone of our human lives. We are all created from the ‘oneness’ of Spirit, but are always attempting to find this connection, which we may unconsciously believe is lost. Imagine that you have a very difficult relationship with someone who is really important to you, such as a parent, partner or family member. Perhaps you decide not to contact them again; you are

Our planet has been seeded with everything we need in order to create lives of harmony, love, compassion and peace. So if our hearts are aching for that feeling of loving acceptance and silent understanding, remember there is usually an animal waiting and willing to spread its loving energy over us. Our pets are always ready to give us unconditional love and support when we need it most. They ask very little from us, just basic food and care, but in return provide the qualit

One of the most important qualities we need to develop today is the quality of co-operation. When there is co-operation between like-minded people amazing achievements can occur. When there is co-operation between people of different minds then the seemingly impossible may happen. Differences can be put aside to achieve something that will benefit all, and then gradually the differences may fade away. Co-operation is achieved by listening with compassion to another’s beliefs

As you continue your day-to-day lives, many dramas may unfold, and our media is gaining much support from our unconscious addiction to drama. Step aside, and don’t allow your life to be impacted by these events. However if some negative dramatic event confronts us personally, it may be more difficult to remain detached. The negativity may trigger unconscious memories from other times where similar, or worse events unfolded, and the old fears arise. Send thoughts and words of

an excerpt from Nancys new book "Rise and Shine your journey of self discovery" :coming soon ‘Giving’ is so important at present and this giving is usually understood in terms of presents, money, friendship etc, but the giving which is most important is the giving of ourselves; giving love, caring, compassion and a warm connection with all. Giving is sharing, and creates togetherness and oneness rather than separation and fear. Some people may have a reluctance to ‘give’ beca

The quality of commitment is so important today; that is commitment to the principles, which are of greatest importance to us. Perhaps this may be the development of our inner wisdom; of compassion; creating a loving relationship; releasing fear and developing inner peace. We can be so easily distracted by negative thoughts that will then generate our actions. We might think “Oh no, I won’t bother with that today; I don’t need to meditate today, etc.” But once we allow our co
