Mother Ganga
Mother Ganga thank you for embracing me in your holy waters,
For flowing through every wave of consciousness,
Permeating every cell in my body,
Washing away limitations and what no longer serves me,
Cleansing, purifying and liberating the soul,
Drawing me in to float in blissful stillness,
Sharing blessings, peace and serenity,
Whispering Divine truths,
Your soothing sound taking me higher,
Your very nature changing me nature,
I will feel your waters forever

A tranquil haven in the midst of the lush green hills,

Goodbye London, office, work and the daily grind,
Hello the world, freedom, space and an open opportunity to seek and find,
No responsibility other than to make the most of each moment, a chance to go with the flow and completely unwind,
To explore what is out there; faith, culture, humanity, nature and connect to the inside

An ode to Peter & Sue
A tranquil haven in the midst of the lush green hills,
Met with open hearts and minds by two vibrant spirits, a family of animals and a magical energy,
One bright and beautiful, radiating joy, love and laughter, sparkling from her eyes through to her words of wisdom,
One strong yet gentle in both mind and body, a powerful presence of transcendence,
Blessed to immerse myself in their teachings and healing vibrations,
I grow my roots, it's easy to do that here, everything is easy here,
We share silence; allowing the sounds of nature and our souls to resonate,
Nothing is wasted,
Simplicity brings peace, just breathing, just being, pure bliss

For Claire, my Guru
She is as mesmorising as the full moon; captivating your heart and igniting your soul,
Leading you to step on soft clouds and float in bliss and the warm embrace of trust,
As calm and tranquil as a mountain lake, endlessly serene mirroring the surrounding beauty,
Emmanating a powerful presence of transcendence, inviting you to dive into crystal clear turquise waters and bask in bright, white light,
When she sings the heavens open with a chorus of angels and healing vibrations,
Smiling, open and bright; a sunflower radiating the joy of summer,
A beautiful butterfly, a shimmering magical rainbow of colours, perfectly balanced and free,
Kind and humble like a bumble bee going from flower to flower releasing sweet, sweet honey,
Opening thousand petalled lotuses,
Bringing peace, light and love
Om Bolo Shri Sat Guru Bhagavan Ki...Jai

Dance, dance otherwise we are lost...
It’s no surprise we like to move and that humans have always danced, even animals dance for example the ritual of a male peacock displaying his feathers and intimidating his competition, because everything moves, every atom vibrates. Even seemingly inanimate objects have spanda; the subtle creative pulsation of the universe. Dancing is freeing, instinctual and universal, it’s a way to connect to our spanda, our internal rhythm and connect to others, socialise and flirt. I love to dance it makes me feel alive, its freeing, it’s a moving meditation as you are completely in the moment, in your body.
I love watching dance, it’s so accessible and awe-inspiring. My favourite choreographer of all time Pina Bausch powerfully explores humanity; expressing every emotion with harrowing, intense beauty, tugging at your heart strings and singing to the soul. I urge anyone and everyone to see Wim Wender’s incredible portrayal of PINA, her company and her work is a must see, it wonderfully captures her and the companies spirit, I hope the trailor tempts you
On the flipside dance can be pure entertainment, skill and fun, last week I was completely blown away by Flawless and their energy, passion and incredible bodies. Seriously haven’t smiled that much for a long time and was on such a high from the show, its on until 28th May so catch it while you can and chase the dream!
Keep dancing.
