I built it for two kinds of reader. The first has been here a while and wants to go straight to a page without clicking through the menus. The second is new, has had a look around, and wants to see the shape of the place before choosing where to start.

Every area of The Library is here with its pages in the order I would read them. The daily posts are here by series and by area. Tap an area to open it, tap again to close it.

If you are new and would rather be shown the way, Start Here does that. If you already know what you are looking for, it is below.

The Library

Foundations 5
  • FoundationsThe starting ground for everything I teach: what we are, why we are here, how to begin without picking up the wrong things.
  • Spirit and the Higher SelfWhat I mean by spirit and the higher self, the actor on the stage and the one in the audience, and how to keep both in balance.
  • Why You Are HereThe agreement you made before you arrived, what you chose and what you left open, and why it still makes sense on the hard days.
  • Your GiftsWhat a gift is, why nearly everybody has more than one, and how to find yours by remembering what you knew before you arrived.
  • The Early PitfallWhy people who start opening up often sense only the negative, why it happens, and how learning control of your energy cures it.
Meditation and Grounding 8
  • Meditation and GroundingThe daily practice everything else depends on: grounding, meditation, brain waves, and the thirty minutes a day that matter.
  • GroundingWhy I teach grounding before anything else, the house earth, water, bare feet, and how to make it a daily habit that holds.
  • Thirty Minutes a DayThirty minutes a day is the whole secret. How to start a daily meditation, what the first weeks feel like, and why it holds.
  • Going DeeperHow to go deeper in meditation: the room, the breath, your safe place, the way down, and what to do once you finally get there.
  • Letting Go and ControlControl and letting go are one lesson taught twice. The weekly exercises that build control, and why you hold the reins lightly.
  • The Brain Wave StatesWhat gamma, beta, alpha, theta and delta feel like from the inside, why you fall asleep, and why meditation feels as it does.
  • VisualisationThink you cannot visualise? You already do it every day. Why the word gets in the way, how I teach it, and a photo exercise.
  • Binaural BeatsTwo tones, one in each ear, and the brain hears the difference. How I use binaural beats to set the frequency for meditation.
Energy Work 7
  • Energy WorkHow energy moves through the body, the earth, water, sound and memory, and how to raise, sense, project and clear it safely.
  • Body EnergyYour body is the instrument you were given for this lifetime. Learn to feel its energy, hold it, and stop giving it away.
  • Earth EnergyThe energy of the earth itself, and why a day in the bush, a sunrise or bare feet on grass changes you more than trying.
  • Water EnergyWater carries and clears energy. Bathing, the shower, the sea, and the ritual of washing your hands and feet before you sit.
  • Sound EnergySound is energy you can hear. Music as a shape, the frequencies that move the brain, and how to use binaural beats to go deep.
  • Memory EnergyHow to raise your energy on purpose using the feelings you have already lived, and the one week exercise that changes things.
  • Projecting EnergyYou send energy out every day whether you mean to or not. Here is how to do it on purpose, with kindness and with permission.
Your Abilities 9
  • Your AbilitiesThe psychic senses everybody has: the clairs, psychometry, mediumship, auras, and telling the real thing from Monkey Mind.
  • Monkey MindHow to tell a real psychic message from your own head, using the feeling in your body and a simple process of elimination.
  • The ClairsSeeing, hearing, feeling and smelling what is not in the room: the four clairs, and why most people already use at least one.
  • PsychometryPsychometry is sensing the energy held in an object, a ring, a flower or a photo, and it is a good way to train your abilities.
  • MediumshipMediumship with the theatre taken out: how spirit passes a message on, how to reach your own, and the one rule you never break.
  • Seeing AurasSeeing an aura takes a little practice and the right way of looking. The blank stare, the light behind you, and the colours.
  • Reading PeopleEveryone reads people, mostly without knowing it. How to catch first impressions, describe what you get and keep your head out.
  • Reading AnimalsMany people read animals far better than they read people. How to sense what an animal feels, and why animals answer to love.
  • EmpathyEmpathy is the quiet ability that opens the others. How to grow it by listening, why empaths feel drained, and how to stop it.
Healing 6
  • HealingHealing as I practise and teach it: through the crown, with permission, with clear energy and protection for the healer.
  • Healing Through the CrownWhy I teach healing through the crown and not the heart, and how the change lets the healer and the person both finish full.
  • Asking PermissionWhy I ask permission before healing or sharing what I pick up, of the person and of what heals, and what goes wrong without it.
  • Clearing Negative EnergyThe ways I use to clear negative energy from a room, a house and a body, from sage and open windows to a coiled hose and salt.
  • Energy BlocksHow to find an energy block in the five aspects of yourself, what helps shift one, and how to see a block in someone else.
  • ProtectionA healer who soaks up everything is a sponge, and sponges do not last. How I teach protection, from the crown to the mirror egg.
The Inner Work 8
  • The Inner WorkThe harder material: who you really are, fear, denial, letting go, the lessons that get louder, and the quiet poison of hate.
  • Finding the Real YouThe hard shell, the marshmallow inside, and the simple exercises I give students to find their way back to who they really are.
  • FearFalse Evidence Appearing Real. How to tell the fear worth listening to from the kind that holds you back, and what to do next.
  • DenialDenial is the mask that hides you from you. Why we put it on, why everyone else can see it, and how to start taking it off.
  • Letting GoEverybody says let it go and almost nobody explains how. Setting down old hurts, old triggers and the past, a finger at a time.
  • Helping or RescuingWhy reaching in to fix people almost never works, how I help people now instead, and why your own battery has to come first.
  • HateHating someone is like taking poison and hoping they get sick. Where hate comes from, how to find the trigger, and how to stop.
  • Life LessonsLessons start as a whisper and get louder until you listen. Why some repeat, how to break the circle, and what hindsight hides.
Relationships and Guidance 11
  • Relationships and GuidanceThe people placed in your life and the guidance that comes with them: reason, season, lifetime, soul groups, guides, dreams.
  • A Reason, a Season or a LifetimeWhy some people stay a moment, some a few years and some for a lifetime, and the gift each one leaves behind when they go.
  • Soul MatesWhat the films get wrong about soul mates, why you have more than one, and why one of them may be the person you like least.
  • Soul GroupsThe twenty to twenty five souls who travel with you across lifetimes, the roles you swap each time, and how to recognise them.
  • Karma as a MirrorKarma is neither reward nor punishment. It reflects you back to yourself, and the people who annoy you most are mirrors too.
  • Full Circle and Half Circle RelationshipsWhy two half circles fight for control, why two full circles complement each other, and how to complete your own circle first.
  • Your GuidesMeeting your guides, why in the end you are your own guide, and the ways to ask them for help, from signs to automatic writing.
  • Signs and SignpostsLife is a game full of clues. How signposts turn up, why they start as a whisper and get louder, and how to become the observer.
  • The Three Source RuleAsk your guides for a sign three times, then let it go. How the three source rule works, for decisions and for testing beliefs.
  • The FlowThe Flow is the state where time vanishes and monkey mind goes quiet. How to remember it, relive it and bring it into your day.
  • DreamsDreams are a halfway house to the spirit world. What happens there, lucid dreaming, and asking someone who has died to visit.
The Bigger Picture 8
  • The Bigger PictureThe big questions: reincarnation, what happens when we die, seeing spirit, where we come from, and why you are here at all.
  • ReincarnationWhy I take reincarnation as a fact, how it went missing from church teaching, past life memories, and ten things to hold.
  • What Happens When We DieWhere we go when we die, why I call the spirit world home, what near death stories tell us, and why there is nothing to fear.
  • Seeing SpiritMost people have seen spirit without realising it. How peripheral vision works, how loved ones visit, and how to reach out.
  • Taken Too SoonWhen someone is taken too soon: the grief, my friend Ian, the soul agreement made before we came, and a bond that does not end.
  • Deja Vu and Its Four KindsDeja vu comes in four kinds: the long moment, a past life, your higher self and a clairvoyant flash. How to tell which one.
  • The Long Cycles and the Hundredth MonkeyHumanity moves through cycles of twenty six thousand years. Where I think we are now, and why your change adds to the count.
  • Where We Come FromWhere we come from as I understand it: soul memory, a hybrid beginning and the pull of the stars, laid out for you to sit with.
