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

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 [...]
