Thoughts on Happiness
I came across this beautiful story when listening to Dr Wayne Dyer the other day – enjoy! The Story of the Kitten and the Cat The kitten is out in the alley chasing its tail around and around and the old alley cat comes up to it and says ‘what are you doing’ and the [...]
The Power of Belief
Since I wrote my post on Abraham Hicks ‘The Vortex’ a few months ago I have become more and more aware of the importance of belief in our lives and of how many people aren’t ‘believers’. I don’t mean this in a religious sense… I am talking about the power of belief on an individual [...]
Cherishing others – A Step Toward Happiness
In my previous post ‘Eight verses for training the mind’ I briefly discussed the first verse which focused on cherishing others over cherishing ourselves as being a step toward our own happiness.

Abraham Hicks – The Vortex
I have recently been immersed in the Abraham Hicks meditations and audios related to their most recent book “The Vortex”. Whilst not for everyone, Ester and Jerry Hicks have been messengers of the teachings of Abraham for many years and while appearing deep and complex, their messages are very simple and effective if you choose [...]
Eight Steps to Happiness
I have recently attended some meditations with a Buddhist Monk who has been speaking about ‘The Eight Steps to Happiness” a book written by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. The basic assumption is that we are all seeking happiness and this publication steps us through the path to achieve this. Rather than go into detail – here [...]
