Isn't this fascinating? The photo of this crystal created by Joe Hyugonawe Igrec was taken outside in the sun at Namaskar Wellness Hub. Then Howard Ahanu Burger took it into a dark room and you can see the result. Also, check out how his chakana is pulsing. #crystals #crystalhealing

Create your Magnum Opus. My philosophy is fairly simple. Become a heart-centred human being. Be congruent. Be conscious. Be courteous. Connect with others. Don't compete but rather complete the other. You're the job. You're a masterpiece creating a masterwork. Give more than you take. Be useful. Be gentle. You bring light and you bring love. Find a path with heart. You deserve to be heard and seen. You manufacture your world. You can step into your power if you choose. If you want to kindle a spark of hope and get your staff to believe in themselves so that they can become masterpieces creating masterworks, consider inviting me to speak at your next event.

Estelle Kapp has a hugely successful healing practice. This without a website and virtually no social media exposure. She literally cannot handle all the work that comes her way. I've managed to twist her arm to teach us how to manifest in our own lives. We'll facilitate a workshop on manifesting together on 7 June ... we just want to see if this would be of interest to anyone before we craft it. Have a look at this brief blurb

@alison_weihe has got her first book out. I edited the first draft and killed many of her darlings. The book is a beautiful piece of text. I said this about Alison in LinkedIn in May 2021 and still believe it today (even more so). "I’ve only known Alison for the shortest time (three years). First when she was an emerging speaker at the Professional Speakers Association of Southern Africa, then as a friend and finally as a client. "She has metamorphosed into a beautiful butterfly when it comes to the craft of storytelling. I’ve been privileged to watch her grow. I’m a big fan of the Mindvalley programmes, as is Alison – it has the most enlightened, engaging and brilliant teachers on the planet who are raising human consciousness. "I have no doubt that Alison will one day be standing on a Mindvalley stage in Estonia sharing her wisdom and mesmerising the audience with her skill, storytelling and wisdom. "If I were you, I’d book Alison now to speak at your next conference to inspire your employees … she’s still affordable. "When she hits superstar status (as I’m sure she will) and gets on the world stage, she might just be out of your and my price range. Go to her now, it’ll be one of the best decisions you’ve made for your staff in a long time."

I write one masterpiece to ninety-one pages of shit. I try to put the shit into the wastebasket. Ernest Hemingway If I was going all spiritual on your ass, I’d say that Hemingway had it pegged when it came to calling it. Put the shit in the wastebasket and move on with your life. We know he didn’t have life pegged because he sucked on a shotgun in the end (be it by his own hand, the mafia or the CIA, we’ll never know). Today I want to explore book writing. If you want to write a book, don’t. Unless you’re ready to face every demon, weakness and mental frailty you have. Because they will all be tested. I promise you. The Truth Be Told The truth be told, writing takes its toll, though. Every book I’ve ever been involved with (either writing or editing … just over 33 now) was like giving birth (I’m not qualified to say that, of course) without any pain medication, protracted labour in a fetid French gutter reminiscent of the great book, Perfume: The Story of A Murderer by Patrick Süskind. All authors I know went through something like this: My writing is shit I’m shit This is hard I hate it I hate myself I awesome I’m magnificent Who am I kidding I want to kill myself (just like Ernest Hemingway, Virginia Wolf, Hunter S. Thompson, Sylvia Plath and Yukio Mishima, amongst others). Who wants to read this crap This is self-indulgent My life is boring I’m boring I hate my editor … she eviscerated me I want that piece in it’s my best work … don’t take it out … nooo (Kill your darlings) I have nothing more to say and I’ve only written 20 000 words. Is this really my philosophy. I sound like a raving lunatic What if people don’t like it What if they hate it What if I only sell 10 I want to belong I want to be heard I’m scared I don’t want to be heard. I want to hide I’m so lazy. I watched Netflix the whole day instead of writing I’m lazy I’m useless My life’s a waste I want to throw the book in the dustbin I wish I could write like Margaret Atwood (no, shit, so do I) This book’s not good enough I’m not good enough I will be persecuted If this resonates so far, cut and paste and read the full article
