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,…

Come on – join us for a tea

What is it with a cup of tea I ask? Why does it hit my sides, flush out my gunk and raise me back up into the light I ask? This spring I converted myself back to this delightful substance wondering why it feels so good. It left me wondering whether anyone else agreed with…

Following flow with the help of our reaffirming serum

This March, rain or shine, I spent at least one hour per day sitting on my terrace. And each day that I made my entrance, I was greeted by the tiled flower pots, the garden lanterns and flower buds waiting, in tiny ball-shaped sizes, to flower. As the days passed and I found old leaves…

Spreading love this Valentine’s Day

For the sake of curiosity, this week I couldn’t help but sit down, take a look at Valentine’s Day and wonder what it was all about. Then I discovered that according to the history books, it originated in ancient Rome when an Emperor decided that married soldiers weren’t as effective as unmarried ones, so he…

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…
