  Open Chakras It is so easy to find chakra cleansing and balancing, guided meditations on YouTube that I thought I would share with you the desired results of the meditations rather than the practice. I like Crystal Beach Chakra Healing Meditation as it is easy to follow, and I like the man's voice! So, you could try that one. The voice in a guided meditation can make it or break it so that's a very personal choice. I find it quite strange that there are so many meditations but few explanations as to the desired effect of the practice. Again, you can Google galore and research the benefits of chakra healing, so I am going to give a bite sized guide as to why it's worth taking the time to relax for twenty minutes or half an hour and feel so much better for it. If you look at the picture (above) you can see the chakras, energy centres, in the body. We start at the root, at the base of your spine and work upwards. The Root Chakra. Red.  Survival When the root chakra is open a...

  Regular readers will be aware that I voted to Remain in the EU in the referendum, I was gob- smacked when the result was announced, and the Leave voters won. There are lots of posts here from 2016-2019 charting my reasons for a soft Brexit or better still, the withdrawal of the Withdrawal Agreement altogether.  I decided to publish these posts as I wanted to leave a record for my grandkids, so far one born, another still 'cooking.' I thought it was important that they can read about this time of momentous change in the UK's political history. I stopped writing the posts during the negotiations although I continued with writing every day 'Below the Line ' at The Times and The Sunday Times on the subject. So why start again? Well, obviously the world is enduring the pandemic, life has been put on hold and nothing much Brexit wise was happening due to the transition period. However, the transition period ended on 31st December 2020 and the new rules were to take effe...

  'Every block of stone has a statue inside it, and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.' Michelangelo. On 30th Street in Boulder, Colorado, there is a sculpture of a man chiseling himself out of a block of stone. His head, torso, arms, and thighs have already been carved from the stone. His right hand holds a hammer above his head ready to strike a chisel he grasps in his left hand. He is forming his right knee. The sculpture represents both the present state and potential of a self-made, self-actualised person. To reach our human potential the hammer and chisel will need to be used often and with diverse levels of precision and purpose. Some of us will place the hammer and chisel on the ground and declare ourselves, 'finished' while others will keep the tools close to them, ready to perfect their sculpture, change aspects of their sculpture, make it more beautiful, sincere, authentic. Some of us will see the block of stone as motionless while to others it re...

 May 26th, 2021 I believe that Cummings has succeeded in sending Boris off in a boat, headed for a perfect storm. People are not yet ready to accept a lot of what Dominic said as their minds are closed to the man, a result of the press coverage which has been blinkered. The perfect storm though into which Cummings has launched the vessel, will comprise of more than the pandemic, it will become clear that Biden will not back any trade deals until the Northern Ireland situation is rectified, and that seems unratifiable to me if Boris wants to stick to his ideal Brexit. It is already clear that Boris put the country in peril as such was his determination to travel to India, thus not closing the border earlier, what happened to that trade deal, I don't know. The fishermen have been badly treated (Brexit) the health secretary has been accused of being a liar and the social care workers abandoned and made scapegoats. People are uncomfortable with the power that Carrie seems to wield, an...
