Summer 2011

As we prepare for the latter part of 2011, many seem pre-occupied with the esoteric and practical implications of December 2012 and the end of the Age. How significant is this, what does it mean and how does it relate to the economic and social crises we now face, the uncertainty and now the youth riots in Britain and civil unrest around the world?

First and foremost, the New Age is already with us. As cycles change, one is always still fading away, often with violence and aggravation, as the new one emerges. The symptoms of this transition are clear to see. People need to feel purposeful, valued and that they belong. And most of all, that their opinions matter. People feel they are not being listened to and whatever the rights and wrongs of the street riots that we all feel are deplorable, we have to step back and look at the bigger view.

What does that mean?

The old systems don’t fit anymore, they are becoming redundant and we have to seek new ways of structuring our society, ways that are inclusive, sensitive and open hearted. Unless we work through the heart, we will find no way forward and more friction will ensue. We have to share, listen, talk and be sensitive to the needs and pain of others.

What can we do?

Individually, there is much we can do. It may ring like a cliché, but we must address ourselves and our own thinking. A reflective, meditation centered life is now imperative. There has been an enormous surge of interest in meditation over the last twenty five years and that reveals a yearning in us for a greater spiritual, inner direction and connection. That is the first thing we should do.

We must also ask ourselves what our own lesson is in all this turmoil. It is of no consequence whether we appear to be directly involved or not – we are all involved and need to use this opportunity to learn and to understand. Ask yourself, ‘What is the real message in all this for me?’ And keep on asking, over and over again until answers emerge, as the will, eventually.

And be pro-active. Become a champion for goodness, for helping and caring in small, regular ways; and in big ways if you can. You can not only make a difference, you can become the difference, the catalyst for change. The understanding and renewal begins in you.

So let us get on with this.

Out of the darkness, something good and more beautiful will rise. The heart will ultimately triumph, so use yours wisely – every day and listen to what it is saying.

We are updating our web site and all our dates for 2012 are being placed there – both in UK and overseas. Please go online and view the new programme and then contact us so we can send or email to you the details and booking form for our courses. We look forward to seeing you.

Many blessings and much love
