I've been experiencing a strange form of writer's block recently.

Ideas have floated past me, often so subtle that they pass through my fingers and disappear across the synapses of my mind.

A number of directions, topics and heartfelt convictions wash at my feet like the seas to North, East, South and West. Which wave to follow?

How come there are so many people walking around today with unhealed emotional wounds?

In the process of human existence we are all hurt emotionally to some degree. Some people wear their wounds like badges of honour; others hide them away until they are out of sight.

It is time for a transformation - to turn suffering into freedom.

Now is a moment of expansion - personally and collectively. The New Moon, Equinox, and recent eclipse season are contributing to a major shift within us.

If you feel confused, shaken up or lost in chaos, it is because our current perspective is widening. And the Truth is far greater than we have the power to imagine.

The world is like a maze of mirrors, reflecting back to us our true self.

Every person, relationship or situation will hold up a mirror to you - revealing a piece of who you are, a piece of your shadow, and a piece of your soul.

Highly Sensitive People make up around 20% of the population - are you one of them?

HSPs show greater sensitivity to their environment, process emotions and thoughts more deeply, and often have deep spiritual beliefs.

In the modern human world, the HSP gift is often lost amidst personal and collective emotion, fear states, over-activity, mental chatter, and a culture of judgement and shame regarding vulnerability - and therefore sensitivity.

I am a big fan of personality tests, as a way of understanding myself and others.

Many people have come across the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), which I have used since career days at University.

The comprehensive test indicates your preferences based on 4 main characteristics. There are a total of 16 possible personality types, each with their strengths, challenges and perceptions of themselves and the world.

In the past month I have committed myself to a new daily practice, one that is simple, short and sweet.

It is an amalgamation of various practices I have learned or read about over the years.

One of my favourite parts when learning Reiki, and now when channelling Reiki energy, is the distance symbol, known as Hon-Sha-Ze-Sho-Nen (HSZSN).

HSZSN enables Reiki practitioners to connect with a person, place or object at any time - past, present or future - in any world, galaxy or dimension, with the intention of sending universal life force energy.

The metaphor of a chrysalis seems to be an apt one for this eclipse season.

The change associated with this August season, and up to September 5th, is a complete transformation.

There's a lot of buzz about this new moon and solar eclipse (latter in the US) on August 21st. Can you feel it?

There is a strong energetic intensity which has been building in the last few weeks. And in the world there is a rising sense of fear, despair and chaos, which all add to the rather strange vibe around.
