Scientific study reveals there is no such thing as a vaginal orgasm
Have you heard? Apparently the female orgasm has changed – again. A recent paper has been released that suggests that women only orgasm through direct clitoral stimulation – and that the G spot, female ejaculation and vaginal orgasms are a myth. “The internal/inner clitoris does not exist: the entire clitoris is an external organ,” says […]
The character flaws you see in others are really your own flaws

How to find and talk to your spiritual guides
They are there, somewhere. I have been told that every religion believes in angels, in one way or another.

Social media causing depression? Stop feeling sad by using the Bubble Theory
OH BLAH – I mean it. What is it with life? Even when things are hunky-dory – we’re always, seeking, seeking something else!? I couldn’t be happier at the moment and yet I feel restless. All my “bubbles are doing well”. One of my old friends told me about the “bubble theory” – you have […]
An ode to my heroes: spiritual, personal and inspirational

Phillip Seymour Hoffman and the links with L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology and The Master
I was very surprised to find out that Phillip Seymour Hoffman had been found dead, reportedly from a heroin overdose, which is completely tragic and sad. He was a talented and engaging actor. He has been on my mind a lot the last couple of weeks, because I am reading a book called Going Clear: […]
The ego and awareness: separating your true self from your dream self
Yesterday I wrote about my life going past in a blur. Do you ever wake up, look at yourself in the mirror and wonder how you got where you are? Every day I am changing. One of my fave gurus Goenka has said (I am paraphrasing), “Every day you see the same Goenka, but think […]
