Houston, Whitney. Gone but not forgotten. What does yoga think?: 14/02/12; Whitney Houston, great singer, amazing voice... lit up a generation of artists and listeners.... bless her soul. How does yoga view this whole thing? Well, the easy option is to blame her state of mind. But how does one get to a place where they need so many prescription drugs to function? Why does one start taking cocaine, heroin or crack to the level she did? Why did she fall for a man who was patently no good for her!? How could someone SO gifted fall so dramatically from grace? The soul is always trying to LEARN and LOVE. After being recognized as the greatest female voice in decades, where does a soul go from there if its mission is to learn new things and love unconditionally? The ego and the world traps the soul in a set of conditions in this case - Whitney was a "great diva", "legendary singer" etc etc. Even if she wanted to be something else, she couldn't unless her soul was very powerful it would not be able to leverage and manuevre that now legendary position into a NEW place of learning.; More details

Christmas message 2011 - about Family: 24/12/11; In this lifetime you only get one family, and as DIFFICULT as the may seem to live with - these are the people that have lived, and would die for you at any given moment. Sometimes we chose not to appreciate it openly, but through our lives these family members have sacrificed, loved and cared for us all without holding ANYTHING back. We may not always SEE the sacrifice and love, but without a doubt it has always been there. Some put it into words, some into actions and others into thoughts and prayers, but it is there. Tell ALL your family members how fortunate you have been to have had each other this lifetime. Make no mistake: One day it will all be over, and one of them will be gone.; More details

Norwegian murders and Amy Winehouse! What a weekend!: 25/07/11; I think you'll agree the world is an odd little ball of clay right now...First we have the man in Norway claiming to be anti-multiculturalism, pro-white, anti-Islamic, who decides the best way to demonstrate his love for non-Islamic, white people from his own country is to KILL THEM! This apparently gives him a platform to spread his message of white right-wing supremacy. If it was an attack on the Norwegian government's liberal views then protest, join politics, or make a song! Or if you have to use violence, use it against adults who have made the policies you disagree with! But kids?? What did these kids have to do with it?; More details

Gandhi competition - some interesting entries!: 18/06/11; Remember the competition I set about a week ago.... about Gandhiji?Basically I asked on Facebook, here and Twitter....IF GANDHI WERE RE-BORN IN LONDON 30 YEARS AGO, WHAT WOULD HE BE DOING NOW? i.e. what would be concerning him? job? lifestyle? etc... Thanks to everyone who entered, I hope it made you think a little... : ) So I wasn't looking for a history lesson, or a GENERAL answer... I wanted something quite RELEVANT AND SPECIFIC - and to the point. We all know what a great man he was.... but I wanted you to be creative and really think..... London, age 30, this era...how would he be?? Anyway, here are some of the lines that stood out from the answers ... see what you think! One of these people was chosen to WIN! And there's nothing wrong with being a winner is there!; More details
