Meditation as medication

There is a beautiful, peaceful meditation garden at my home of worship. Enclaved by a ficus hedge, the garden is a sanctuary of trees, flowering plants, waterfalls and fish ponds. Butterflies flutter, bees buzz to and fro from flower to flower and birds sing, in tune with the windchimes that are hung high up in […]

Calabash

Calabash is a literary festival held in Calabash Bay, Treasure Beach on the southern coast of Jamaica. Treasure Beach is aptly named – it is a sleepy, peaceful little village surrounded by the most industrious people in Jamaica and the most magnificent scenery. Blue sea, raised bluffs, the rolling Pedro Plains dotted with majestic lignum […]

Presence

I co-facilitated a Prosperity seminar in Trinidad last Saturday. It was an amazing experience. I have always felt this special connection with Trinis – I so enjoy their humour, their joie de vivre, their ability to “make mas” wherever they are, their willingness to connect. In this spirit, the group on Saturday tuned in totally […]

When God Talks

Last Sunday, there was a flyer in the program at church for a talk by Dadi Janki, the spiritual leader of the Brahma Kumaris organization, a worldwide movement for enlightenment. I took the flyer out and placed it in my bag. On Monday morning, while packing for my trip to St. Lucia and Trinidad, for […]

Speaking THE truth

We are often asked to speak the truth. What is the truth? By using “the”, we imply that there is only one truth. However, we find that as we try to express “the” truth, we bring our own experiences and perception into play, so that “the” truth becomes MY truth. When that happens, then we […]

The Power of NO

In our quest for manifesting our magnificent potential, we are told to be clear in our intention and to state it positively. “YES” is a very powerful word in anchoring our intentions and signalling to the Universe that YES! We are ready. And yet, we often find that no matter how many times we say […]

SOULMATES

In the arena of love and intimate relationships, we often speak about finding our soulmate. This person, we believe, is THE ONE who will complete us – physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. This is THE person with whom we will resonate so totally that we will feel whole and complete. We believe that this person […]

The Rope and The Cross

This Easter morning, I had the delightful experience of the 6.00 a.m. Easter Sunrise morning of worship in dance and music, presented by the National Dance Theatre Company of Jamaica. One particular dance that I had seen many times resonated with me in a different way this morning. “The Rope and The Cross” depicted the […]

If I had only …..

My sweet little puppy, Purlie, died last night. Purlie was the livewire of our household. She was the dog who was first out of the house to greet me as I drove through the gate. By the time the car stopped, she was already at the door, tail wagging. Purlie was the smallest of a […]

I love you

One morning last week before going to work, I e-mailed four of my dearest friends. I told them how much they mean to me and ended with “I love you”. I also called my children (I was overseas away from home) to say “I love you”. My day went uphill from there on. For by […]
