This week I thought it interesting to share some thoughts and insights on ego. Now let me not be presumptuous and assume that my ego could be put aside as I ponder and write this post. But let me be humble enough in allowing myself the capacity to stream the insights that pass through my…

Another Sant Jordi, another poem
@->->– Here we are again, another year, another book and another spectacular moment to celebrate Sant Jordi – the day of the lovers – in Barcelona. As it stands, the 23rd April is still the most romantic day of the year, where men and women all over the city exchange books for roses to honour…
Touched by the cactus garden
Believe it or not, almost everyone that touched my path in these last few months had something to say about hell. Honestly, it almost felt as though an energetic storm had passed through the earth and swept everyone up inside of it. It’s been having me somewhat concerned about the suffering of our fellow men,…
They say that dreaming is for free
The story started when I suddenly found myself wide awake one morning. The feeling that ran through me was sheer panic – I was late for a breakfast meeting with my brother. So, I immediately tumbled out of bed in a guilty sweat and hoped that today I was going to be punctual. I continued…
Did you have any realisations last year?
One day last year, I found myself sitting below the late morning sun on a Greek island. I must say, she was a very unique island. Some of her visitors told me that they’d had many a mystical experience with her. As indeed did I this particular morning. While I was busy working away at…
Saying yes to the pleasures of life
Today I spent the afternoon at home chatting with my nephew, and to join the celebration, we invited the chocolate oat biscuits and tea pot to join us. It was after pouring two hot cups of black tea that I decided, naturally, to dip a biscuit into my mug. What I experienced, as the rain…
Healing inner pain – a helping hand from Rishikesh, India
It was just the other day that I toppled over crying. Not with a baby crocodile tear but a river flowing o’er me. After a few minutes of enjoying this light release, the river eventually lost its charm and transformed itself into a swamp of heavy pains and inflamed skin. “Was it normal to cry…
Why we will remain positive in the autumnal puddles
This month, I thought a lot about our community and wondered why it was that they were all so dearly cool. So, rather than do the guesswork, I set out to ask them some questions. I didn’t interrogate them, nor did I put words into their mouths. Instead I simply allowed them to talk. What…
Gratuity Where Gratuities Due
Each month and I suppose we could say each day, someone, somewhere provides us with an opportunity to celebrate. Now isn’t that a noble thing to do? So, for the sake of keeping the vibes of our pharmacy in good shape, we decided to join in the celebration of ‘World Gratitude Day’ this month by…
What the Greeks taught us about wellness
This summer, I left our beloved Barcelona to delve into the culture of another place. I decided to scurry over to our neighbouring country, Greece. Mostly because I was particularly interested in how they lived, what they may have inherited from the classic antiquity and what implications that had on their wellbeing. In other words,…
Embody the Healing Light at Midnight
I sat last night on a roof terrace with a very dear friend Benjamin Swatez. This friend of mine is very special because his heart is explosive and his mind is amazing. As we usually do, we deep dived into a sentimental chat and happened to land on the full moon. Together we realised that…
Let’s Join Together in a Verse of Happiness
Whilst I was at the beach last month I decided I’d set myself a daily task of writing a verse. What this task did was guide me to the people, places and pages that opened my heart to my blessings. Now what I’m going to do is share those blessings with you to urge you on…
