Therapy as the Open Door to Change

By Chris Horton

How are you doing so far this January of 2025?

Just as our ancestors chose Janus - Roman god of doorways and new beginnings - to name this month, countless generations have seen this time as an annual point of tension, where we see ourselves once again poised between past and future.

In the flow

By Steve Bannister

We have everything we need to heal us, both emotionally and physically. The mind and body possesses an incredible wisdom and any ‘symptoms’ that present are forms of communication with a desire to move us toward greater harmony. We only need to tune in and listen.

Writing & Menopause - Rage on the page with Wild Grace

By Dr. Sarah Walton

Confused, I wondered about what was happening to me on an inner level. Nobody had told me what to expect. It wasn't the physical changes - there's loads of information about that. It was the inner transformation that I could sense had sped up; my body and soul were demanding attention. And I knew I must listen.

The whole of the iceberg

By Meriel Whale

I think everyone has an iceberg. And I invite all of us to start letting it rise from the dark and be seen. I’d like to sit down with my friends with children and say, ‘Let’s talk and listen, let’s dare to be seen, let’s share what hurts and what heals, let us show our authentic selves.’

Imagining Your Inner House

What if you were able to regulate your mind, emotions and body allowing you to show up as the best version of yourself?

Picture a home that beautifully embodies your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health. What if this dwelling was the very space you occupy each day, forming the foundation of your human experience?

Under the eyes of a thousand stars

Alison Roy explains how fathers (and father figures) can help daughters to find their identity.  Amy is a striking young woman who appears confident and clear about her views, especially when it comes to boys. ‘I don’t let them push me around or decide how I should look,’ she insists. However, when I ask her about her social media profile, she is less sure of herself.

Infinite Abundance

As we are just experiencing one of the most beautiful seasons of Earth’s natural cycles, Earth blossoming, it’s good to acknowledge that we all too deserve to thrive and live fulfilling and happy lives. Creating heaven on earth starts with each of us recognising that we CAN create stability, abundance and beauty. 

It all starts with our vision, with our thoughts and beliefs. So it’s a good time to be transparent to ourselves and notice if we still carry any contradictory beliefs about living an abundant joyful life: Do you believe you deserve it? Do you believe you are worthy of it? Do you believe you can have it? Do you believe that you are safe to receive and enjoy all the earthly gifts and blessings? 

It’s good to be aware that many of us who are on a spiritual path may unconsciously still carry old outdated beliefs that spiritual and material are at odds, opposite and don’t go well together.

Conscious Connected Breathing

There is a growing awareness and demand for breathwork as a powerful healing tool. It’s not a new technique. Breathwork has been used for millennia in yogic and meditation practices.

However, we are drawing on these methods more as we gain an increased understanding of the nature of stress, anxiety and trauma, and how emotional states can be held on to both physically and mentally if they aren’t released and discharged at the time.

Conscious Connected breathing can facilitate the release of stuck emotion. It is an abdominal circular breath technique that relaxes the diaphragm. We focus on the in-breath rather than the exhale, without resting in between.
