Spring cleaning for the soul
At this time of year, we’re surrounded by new life and awakening energy. All over the world, the Spring Equinox (March 21 – 22) marks days and nights of equal length. Everything is perfectly balanced to bring fertility and manifestation – and nature is inviting you to do the same for your soul.
To bring the new into your life, to be happier and healthier, you need to reclaim your inner wisdom and intuition. Learn to listen, trust and then act on your intuition, rather than just your logical mind, and you’ll restore the balance to your whole self.

The divine feminine is essentially the unconditional love aspect of Spirit and I realised just how difficult it is to give that to ourselves, let alone extend it to others.

I recently lost a very dear friend – she was the first person I really connected with when I moved to this area and she was a big part of the reason why I felt so welcome and at home here. Apart from my Nan, a good many years ago now, this was the first time I’d had to come to terms with the death of someone important in my life and it has been an illuminating experience.
Read MoreFamily matters
In my healings over recent months the issue of isolation is coming up again and again – people feeling alone, different, as if they don’t fit in with their family or the people around them. I can completely empathise with this as it’s something I struggled with for many years. I tried to fit in, to make friends within certain groups but it felt like a lot of hard work for very little return. What I finally realised was that I was looking to others for validation, identity, a sense of belonging and even my own happiness.
