A Cosmic Healing Experience: My First Encounter with Starbrary Quartz Crystals
I decided to explore one of the Starbraries which had particularly caught my attention with its unusual geometry. Looking from the point of the quartz down its body it has a diamond shape, highly unusual for quartz. I sat down with the crystal to meditate and noticed there seemed to be a portal, or doorway, inside the crystal. As I focussed my mind on the portal I was transported in an instant to another world where the sky was a distinctive shade of pinky-purple.

Embracing Transformation in the Year of the Fire Horse
The 2026 Chinese New Year feels especially potent with some big astrological changes occurring simultaneously. The Horse enters on a 'ring of fire' solar eclipse at the New Moon on the 17th. Normally I create my annual vision board around January 1st. This time I held off from the process, feeling my 'real' New Year was still to come. I'll be focusing on what I would like to manifest in the Year of the Horse in the coming days so that my Horse energy knows which direction to

How to Support Your Energy with Crystal and Gemstone Jewellery
I mention jewellery in my Crystals book as this is one of the simplest ways we can incorporate the power of crystals and gemstones into our everyday lives and most people do already own some gemstone jewellery.

Of Nature: Luxury Natural Skincare
Meeting with Of Nature's co-founder Emma Griffiths I've been trialling Of Nature's beautiful, eco friendly, skincare products. I have got really sensitive skin. This became more noticeable as I went through the perimenopause and I noticed the elasticity and texture changing as I went through the menopause. I’ve been using the unscented Simple range for years now because I react to so many other skincare products. I’m grateful for Simple, but I’ve been longing for something mo

The Nodes of the Moon are Changing
The nodes of the moon are changing. They will be in Pisces – Virgo for the next 18 months. This is the beginning of a new collective cycle of learning. The nodes of the moon are always in opposing Zodiac signs to each other. They are the points in space where the orbit of the Earth around the Sun intersects with the orbit of the Moon around the Earth. These intersections are where the eclipses will occur. The north node of the moon is the energy we collectively need to le

10 Top Tops for Managing Stress Levels over the Festive Season
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” so the song lyrics go, however the idea that you must be having ‘wonderful time’ can create a lot of added pressure and stress. If this is your experience I suggest easing off this year, aim for enjoyable and anything extra is a bonus! My philosophy is that to show up as your best self for others you need to look after your own wellbeing first. Here are some ways to stay centred and calm over the festivities: Lights at Midwinter a

Entangled Life - Meeting Merlin Sheldrake at the Hay Literary Festival.
Finding out more about the Amazing World of Fungi Merlin Sheldrake on the Global Stage at the Hay Literary Festival 2024 I met Merlin this week - not the wizard in the pointy hat! I attended Merlin Sheldrake's Entangled Life talk on Fungi at the Hay Literary Festival and it has given me so much to think about. The topic of Fungi is a huge subject to roam around in a talk. Somehow, Merlin did this entertainingly and with gusto. He clearly has a genuine passion for his subject
