"The world is a system of interrelated components, none of which can survive without each other. Just as in the case of bees and flowers, you will never find bees around in place where there aren't flowers, and you will never find flowers around in a place where there aren't bees. What that tells us secretly, is that although bees and flowers look different from each other, they're inseparable. To use an important Taoist expression: they arise mutually." – Alan Watts

“The world that you see outside you is a state of your own nervous system. In other words, it is because you have senses and a nervous organization of a certain particular structure, that the sky is blue, the sun is light, and vibrations in the air are sound. You turn them into color, light, sound, etc.” – Alan Watts

“You and I have all conspired with ourselves to pretend that we are not really God, but of course we are. That is perfectly obvious. We are all apertures through which the universe is looking at itself. Only it is so arranged that we don’t know that in exactly the same way as we don't look at our own eyes.” – Alan Watts

Sansula

Come, Weavers of story, art and song
let us gather together, for the time has come
to weave a new vision for those yet to come
for we are the ancestors of our great grand daughters and sons.

Bring your voice, your hands, your heart, your drum
whatever it is that you make your art from

for if we don’t, we may well choke
on all the words we never spoke
On all the books we never wrote
and the fires within our hearts we let turn to smoke..

For a hope, a dream
channelled through a brush stroke, song or a seam
can be the spark that lights the dark we find ourselves in
Art is and has always been a way for spirit to be seen.

We need your fire so that the Phoenix of mankind can rise
above the distractions, the hatred and the lies

We each bring our own threads
to the web
and we all play our part
do we light a spark, or stay in the dark?

So, come
way showers
weavers of spirit in form
let us sit around this fire together once more
Singing…
“We will create!
even if it makes our voices shake”
Singing….”We will create!
Whatever it is that makes our hearts ache”

For the pain as well as the beauty you feel when you look at the world yes, it is real
but the time has come, to gather as One
and let our bones hum
with the drum
of a new heart song

Come, Weavers of story, art and song
let us gather together, for the time has come
let us weave a new vision for those yet to come
for we are the ancestors of our great grand daughters and sons.

For those yet to come- Spoken Word Poem

Meditation mantra music with a modern twist

Sat Nam Wahe Guru

This is my version of this beautiful and profound Hawaiian Mantra sung live at our Loveolution Cacao Ceremony at Akasha in Bali December 2018.

Supported by my dad Johnny and Walker on drums, Richie on lead guitar, my beloved Dustin on charango, Eliana and the whole ceremony on vocals. 

Below is my suggestion on how to restore balance and harmony with the people in our lives:

Ho' o Pono Pono Ritual

We can use this beautiful Hawaiian ritual to bring everything back into right relationship or a place of integrity with all of our relations.

It can be done by calling a person in your life into your awareness, sending them loving energy and going through the process below.

It is far more powerful and effective to have a conversation, ideally in person, alternatively on the phone with someone close to your heart.

Start with the people you may have the most to clear with - your parents, siblings, partner, ex-partners, children and move onto friends. 

The translation of the Hawaiian Mantra is:

I'm so sorry, please forgive me, I love you and thank you, Ho' o Pono Pono, Ho' o Pono Pono.

Begin with an apology for a few specific things you feel you could have done with more love, care and integrity. 

Acknowledge how it may have made them feel with full empathy and compassion. 

Give them space to express.

Listen with your full heart.

Notice if the desire to defend yourself arises and continue to breathe into your heart.

Express how much they mean to you, how much you love them and how grateful you are for their presence in your life. 

Acknowledge a few specific things about them personally or how they have shown up and thank them.

Close with a hug and feel how gratitude and forgiveness have opened your hearts and created a deeper sense of intimacy.
