You Are A Powerful Multidimensional Being

Hi Readers

I've been busy creating some new pages on this blog site. As I was writing the 'who am I' page, I felt compelled to write about some of the principles underlying all of my work. Then it all got a bit long!

So I decided to copy and paste the content into a blog post instead.

Although I seem to write about lots of topics, they are all influenced by my own personal values; that is - what matters to me.

What Matters to MePersonal sovereignty: Which means that I'm not here to be anyone's guru. YOU are the guru - for yourself only.Personal evolution: We are all growing, learning and evolving in response to constantly changing challenges.

Writing Raw - 7 Reasons to Journal

While writing this post I realised that every journal completed is a hand written book - old style.
Suddenly my journalling feels more precious. There are loads of reasons to keep a journal. Here are a few of them.

1. Expression: The human desire toward self expression has led to constant evolution in media. The platforms available on which we can say our bit are endless. But I think journalling is still a valuable tool for self-expression. For some of us, journaling is still the best way to access deeper levels of consciousness. Technology can be a stimulating and distracting influence. The gently tactile pages of a journal can offer a private place to write raw. It's where our thoughts can evolve and become more clear, without an audience.

2. Articulation: Self expression becomes easier when we have practised putting words to our thoughts, feelings and inspirations in a journal. Our emotional intelligence increases as we learn to express our inner life accurately to others. In ou…
