    I was recently asked what the difference is between a life coach and a therapist and that question became the springboard for this blog entry. I could bore you with the formal definitions and lose your attention after the first paragraph, but I would rather take you by the hand and walk you through it…

    One of the more challenging experiences as a Reiki practitioner is animal and pet reiki. Unlike humans, animals don’t verbalise their needs like humans do, so you have to rely entirely on energy body scan to detect what is lacking and what they need. I have been using animal Reiki to “communicate” with the feral…

    Why are some days more difficult to get out of bed than others? This can be attributed to a number of factors, ranging from lack of sleep, stress that awaits you in the day, or from an esoteric perspective, an imbalance of energies in both your body and immediate environment. When you open your eyes,…

    There comes a time in our lives where we undoubtedly ask ourselves whether we can still do, reach, obtain, attain, understand, pursue, appreciate, enjoy certain things that we thought we would never outgrow or swore never to tire of.

    Some years ago I found a poem by Catherine Pulsifer, originally published in 2009. It stopped me dead in my tracks.

    My neighbour in Berlin once invited me to tag along to a Buddhist Meditation Center in lieu of our planned cup of tea on the balcony. There was a lot going on at the Center that weekend, she said, so it might be worth checking out the activities. It was a great pleasure to step…

    I used to stress over crossing the boundaries, the divergence from the plan and direction, but during one photo assignment some years ago I watched these camels in a “traffic jam” or sorts. It changed my perspective overnight: there is absolutely no point stressing over what you cannot change or is out of your hands.…

    The photographs above are part of a series I shot in Laos some years back. I have often written about soul cleansing and decluttering, which, for some strange reason, many prefer to do at the end of the year, on milestone birthdays, or on their deathbeds. This is a mistake, because often times the realisations…

    The usual question is to ask what is your love language? and that is relatively easy to answer. My love languages are food, words, and images, for others it is hugs, or buying gifts, some choose to say it with flowers. Whatever the language or symbolism you choose to express your love and affection towards those…
