Top 10 Books on How to Change your Life!
Mind and Beyond When I was researching the Top 10 Books on How to Change your Life I really considered the following. As a coach and as someone who has been on their own personal development journey, I write a lot of articles about mindset, how to change your thinking and behaviour to change your life, have the life you want, be all you can be and access your pure potential. Much of what I write either focuses on mastering or managing your mind or is about going beyond your mind in order to find greater happiness, contentment, peace, calm and fulfilment. This may seem conflicting but I think that…

Online Retreats in Real Time
My fingers have been walking I have been combing the internet looking for and researching online retreats. In particular, I was searching specifically for online retreats for women and men, couples retreats and retreats for everyday life. And even more specifically I was looking for the more traditional meditation/spiritual based online retreats that are focused on deepening concentration, insight, raising our awareness and consciousness and getting in touch with our true self. Really, the conclusion is that many retreats, particularly those that are online are not specifically designed for any of these cohorts, they are suitable for everyone and that’s a great thing. It’s not divisive and the principles apply whether…

The Power of Now Book Review – When the student is ready!
On the shelf for 20 years I picked up my first copy of the best-selling book The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle around 20 years ago which was about the time it was first published. Back then, I have to say that I didn’t get it or perhaps I wasn’t ready. Perhaps I hadn’t suffered enough. Who knows, needless to say I put it aside and there it stayed in my bookshelf. It was some 15 or so years later that I picked up my dusty copy of The Power of Now again and this time it spoke to me. I was definitely in a time of crisis and…
