Healing Playlist

When the energy of our consciousness is out of control - the mind is agitated. We are being emotional. The solution is to detach from the inner storms, stand back and see the hurricane pass. Detached observation withdraws the energy which your emotions require to sustain themselves. When you watch your own anger, it dies. If you don't detach from it and observe it ... it will be your master. Today is the day to practise positive, detached observation, and each emotion-filled moment is the opportunity. This is the real work. The work of one who is a master of their own consciousness. Are you a master or a slave?

A short talk with a chance to ask questions and ending with a meditation.

On the stage of life, be both actor and audience. Detaching yourself from the roles you play will help you get in touch with the part of you that is not an act. Detachment is the key to freedom to be who you are.

Understanding The Laws Of Life - Hans Haiert - Thursday 17th June 2021

As we nourish the body with the best food and water to make it grow and sustain itself, we also need to nourish the soul with new fresh knowledge to stimulate the mind and deep stillness to digest it. Then we will become whole and healthy. When ‘I’ is replaced with ‘we’ even illness becomes wellness.

Food for the Soul: An Online Series ~ To Nourish and Flow ~ 25Jun21

Every day we receive hundreds of messages - obvious or subliminal – through the media, telling us how well we should be doing, how young we could look, how great our relationships could be… if we only buy ‘xyz’ product or follow the latest ‘guru’s’ advice. Comparing ourselves with others is a trap we can all fall into. A trap which is damaging to ourselves, stunting our own growth and potentially our relationships. 
 
Join Margaret Barron to explore what we need to understand in order to drop this habit of comparing and what inspiration means and how it works.

Embracing Equity - From the Inside Out
Honouring the theme of International Women’s Day

In humanity’s journey towards higher consciousness, we are witnessing the birth of a compassionate human family which seeks for all to survive and thrive as equals.  Equality however, isn’t just the result of a society that makes room at the table for all, it is an eternal truth, which if recognised by the heart, makes equity a natural expression of our deeper spiritual kinship.

Embracing Equity - From the Inside Out - Jane Kay & Sarah Trueman - Thursday 8th March 2023

Colourful and vibrant are words we use to describe people whose energy brightens our day. However, when we forget our true selves and get stuck in negativity it’s as if we’ve turned down the brightness level on our soul, and we get stuck in a black, white and grey world. Since colours are frequencies, what does it feel like to be living the full spectrum of our true selves?

Regaining Inner Strength - Hans Haiert - Thursday 23rd March 2023

If you feel impatient to move beyond obstacles and reach your destination as soon as possible, your very impatience can keep you stuck on a plateau.  Each relationship, situation and moment contains the perfect conditions to unlearn the deceptions that keep you from seeing that the journey is timeless, and the destination is constantly present.

Trusting The Journey - Linda Lee - Thursday 30th March 2023

Conscience truly is that friend who gently or not so gently prompts us in the direction of our highest good.  In fact a form of ‘conscience therapy’ suggests that most of our personal dilemmas can be solved by heeding its call.  Whether it is improving health, relationships, mental well-being or finding our higher purpose, conscience faithfully guides us, and even if ignored, still waits in the wings for us to recognize it as the voice of truth that can truly set us free.
