My Dear Friends,
Please take 3 minutes rest, put your headphones on and enjoy the haunting song of Tibet. And if you have time another 7 minutes for the second song 🙂

How do I live a Happy Life!
Published 16/12/2013 by inspiringyourspirit
My Dear Friends, From time to time I am asked what can one do to live a happy life. There are 10 things that have helped me and 3 ‘stances’. You may not agree with them or they may or may not suit everyone – that is OK.
1. Meditate regularly. Chose a style that suits you and stay with it.
2. Be a ‘gift’ to the world.
3. Encourage regularly.
4. Keep fit.
5. See the ‘gift’ in all things.
6. Live simply.
7. Have a routine in accord with nature.
8. Do random acts of kindness.
9. Know how your mind works (it’s all stories!)
10. Have a sense of humor.
Three Stances:
1. Love widely.
2. Listen deeply.
3. Set your values highly.
Namaste with Love

What will you be drinking today?
Published 15/12/2013 by inspiringyourspirit
My Dear Friends,
What will you and your family be drinking today?
Spare a thought when you reach into your refrigerator for that expensive bottle of mineral water and think of the millions of people around the world that don’t have any clean water to drink today!
Water is life….and lack of it is death.

Some bad news has arrived and I need your help!
Published 13/12/2013 by inspiringyourspirit
My Dear Friends,
At approximately 10:40am yesterday the 12th December I came across a post by Shanta Gabriel at http://spiritlibrary.com/shanta-gabriel/12-12-portal-activating-your-merkaba, regarding a MerKaBa light initiation process that was going to happen all around our world on the 12th December at 12:12, Shanta articulated the process regarding how we could connect to source, set our intentions and fill our bodies with heaven’s light. So at approximately 10:45 am yesterday the 12th December I set my intentions to connect to source and receive the healing power, healing for me and for me to then pass on to anyone who needs it.
At approximately 10:50am my wife called me to tell me her sister has been diagnosed with a throat tumor, a Thyroid Neoplasm. Her family are rural farmers from mid northern China where they typically only earn a couple of dollars per day, they are hard working happy people, loving, kind and true to family and friends, they adore me and have taken me into their family with open arms, I have spent many happy days with them in their village and taken hundreds of photographs of them and their village life. It is certainly a place of smiles but also of sadness. Nearly two years ago almost to the day, my wives brother in law (sisters husband) fell from a roof while helping his son install a solar water heating system to someone’s village house, he had no safety equipment (this is China) and hit the ground head first, My wife and I were in the UK at the time tending to my father who subsequently passed away while we were with him so we were unaware of her sisters husbands accident. The local hospital in their county told them he was unlikely to survive the trauma as his skull had smashed into his brain and even if he did survive then he would most likely have severe brain damage, they told my sister in law that the cost for surgery would be around 30,000 $ after the subsidy they would receive from the farmers insurance subsistence, and, the surgery would need to be carried out in Xian; the capitol city of their province a 3 + hour car drive away, she was also told that he would unlikely make it through the night!
My wife’s sister and two children were really shocked by the news and traumatized about the surgery costs of which they did not have, my wife’s sister knew they did not have the money but the children pleaded with her to go ahead with the surgery (the surgery would not be arranged or completed unless the full amount was paid in full), so she went to the village elders and told them the situation, all families within the village put their hands in the pockets, raided their savings and used money they had put aside for next years crops and seeds. Everything was put on the line, all these families dug deep to help my sister in law’s family when they needed it most!
The surgery went ahead, his life was saved, he now has a hole in his skull the size of a tennis ball, he is slightly impaired but he is a father, grandfather and husband again but he has never been made aware of the costs of the surgery and the money owed to the villagers. When May and I returned from the UK, we were told of this situation, they said they did not want to trouble us because we were also going through our own traumas and grief with the passing of my father…But what could we do? We could not see these farming families suffer and not be able to buy seeds and crops this year, so May and I found the money ourselves and we paid them back. Now we are in the same situation once again but this time with my sister in law, we are awaiting information from the hospitals to find out the nature of the tumor and the costs of the surgery if needed.
So at exactly 12:12am yesterday the 12th December I started to meditate, I went through the process exactly as Shanta Gabriel had said, I set my intentions to receive pure light and healing energy, I brought the energy into every cell of my body, I said my prayers for myself, my family, my friends, for humanity and our planet and asked for special assistance to go to my sister in law in her time of need, I focused on her tumor, I started to cough heavily, my throat was sore but I breathed it away, I then received a very deep pain in my side but I breathed that away too, I targeted my energy to her and at exactly 12:24am I opened my eyes and awoke from my meditation (exactly 12:24, 12 minutes meditation, this was amazing).
So my dear friends, I would like you to think of my sister in law, please send us some pure source healing energy.
Namaste with Love
Always

Awaken Yourself if you want to Change the World
Published 11/12/2013 by inspiringyourspirit
My Dear Friends,
I was sitting here thinking,… no that’s not quite true,…. Procrastinating is a better and more true statement of fact,… because I’m a little lost for words today!
Each day I feel the need to write something, to bring you something profound, to bring you joy, happiness, enlightenment, to speak to you with compassion, to help you overcome your own personal challenges and difficulties, to help you see with greater clarity, to feel with more empathy and to act more compassionately towards others for the betterment of us all.
I have been blessed, I have been chosen to do this, like so many other spiritually aware brothers and sisters all around the world, we have connected to source, to the angels, to a higher self, what ever form this connection comes in or from; is basically the same, irrespective of our religious beliefs, race or language, we all share the same common goals and the same desires to say what needs to be said, to help bring about awareness and to help make change. To open hearts and minds, and to help bring about awareness towards Peace, towards Love and towards Compassion.
Our world is what it is, we have created the current state of play, we have all played a part in driving the economic growth we see, the economic demise we see, the poverty we see, the unhappiness we see, the wars we see, the pollution we see, the hunger we see, the disease we see, we have all taken part in bringing this about! We may not realize this and we would certainly not willingly be a part of this if only we understood how and why these states come unto play.
Most of the time we are just blindfolded to the realities of this world, we go about our daily routines, go to school, to work, tend to our children, go shopping, make dinner, watch TV, read the local news and go to bed. We don’t do anything bad! The majority of us care about our families, our friends and our neighbors and we would certainly not do anything to harm them but we help drive the greed that rules our world, the greed and control of governments and corporations, we accept things as we are told, laws get past, new plans go into effect, wars are started… and some; a few, get richer and richer and gain greater control in the process. But times are changing, more people are becoming aware, more people are speaking with compassion from their hearts and they are slowly bringing awareness and change to every corner of our globe. You guys know I’m no activist, I’m just a man, a husband, a father, a colleague, but I am certainly someone who cares passionately about humanity and our world. I no longer want to see wars being raged due to greed in the name of whatever excuse is being made by the powers that be, I no longer want to see our environment being damaged beyond all repair due to the greed of corporations who are raping our lands, I no longer want to see children dying of starvation, or dysentery, or disease while there is a cure, while there is money being wasted each and every day, I no longer want to see our oceans being polluted, I no longer want to see controls being put in place so we no longer have a voice, I no longer want to see GMO’s being allowed due to the strength of the corporations putting pressure on governments to just say yes, I no longer want to see or hear excuses tied up in fancy words that hide reality, I want to see Peace in my lifetime, I want to see joy on the faces of children all around the world, I want to see a healthy world one that can breathe freely!
Simple? No, Doable? Yes.
My Dear Friends, we can bring about change, we can see smiles on the faces of children, we can live in peace but we need to act together, as One World, as One Humanity!
Namaste with Love
Always

What Do I Have To Be Thankful For today? Thanksgiving should be everyday.
Published 10/12/2013 by inspiringyourspiritWhat Do I Have To Be Thankful For today? Thanksgiving should be everyday.
My Dear Friends,
Well, …….Absolutely everything is my answer 🙂
Last Friday the Pollution levels were so high here in Shanghai, you could hardly see 200ft in front of your face and in some places even far less than that. The PM25 index was hitting a high of 509 Hazardous to health with the notation ‘Everyone may begin to experience health effects, members of sensitive groups may experience serious health effects’ 🙂 This brought massive problems to the Old, the Infirmed, the Young and of course the Empath’s, people like me who can feel changes in the weather, who can feel and even taste the pollution levels before they actually arrive, who start coughing the day before anyone else, who start choking a day before anyone else, we feel the pain earlier… I guess like an early warning signal that something bad is coming; so we can alert our friends and family.
Well, this morning the sun is shining, the sky is quite blue, it’s still a little hazy but the PM25 index is now down to 167 with a rating of ‘Unhealthy’. So, we cannot dispose of our masks just yet but today is another day, I’m alive, I’m healthy…. so I have so much to be Thankful and Grateful for 🙂
I’m Thankful for My Life
I’m Thankful for My Health
I’m Thankful for My Lovely Wife
I’m Thankful for My 4 Beautiful Children
I’m Thankful for My Friends
I’m Thankful for My Work
I’m Thankful for My Colleagues

I’m Thankful for My Food
I’m Thankful for My Compassion
I’m Thankful for My Love of Humanity
I’m Thankful for My Environmental Awareness
I’m Thankful for My Days and My Night’s
Here are some pictures of what I see everyday, things I’m so thankful for 🙂

7 ways to make the most of your problems – Buddha style
Published 06/12/2013 by inspiringyourspiritMy Dear Friends,
I would like to sage a re-post with you from a dear blogging friend David Hare over at http://thankingthespoon.com , its a great piece of advice 🙂
Namaste with Love
Always
Mark
22 years ago when I first went to a senior Buddhist to ask for advice, I said to him: “I have a very big problem,” and he, the late John Delnevo of SGI UK (pictured), replied with a broad smile and a twinkle in his eye: “Congratulations.” I thought he must have misheard me so I repeated that I really was struggling with something (can’t remember what but it would’ve felt massive at the time – money / job / girlfriend / studies… or possibly all four…)
Again he smiled broadly and said, “that’s great news, well done!” Seeing my perplexed face, he made seven points over the next hour’s conversation that have stayed with me ever since:
- Happiness is not the absence of problems
- Problems are a fact of life “suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy” – this is what Nichiren Daishonin taught
- The problem is never the problem, it’s the life state from which you approach the problem that’s the problem
- The lotus flower of enlightenment only grows in the muddy pond of daily life – your challenge is a sign that your life is asking to grow. So, are you going to say Yes or No?
- You’ve made the cause / karma for this situation (otherwise it couldn’t happen), so therefore you (and only you) have the power to change it. (This is the principle of personal responsibility behind the name ‘Thanking the Spoon’)
- Any problem is a gift in disguise – it might be very heavily disguised sometimes, but it’s a gift all the same
- When you change for the better, the world around you does too, as surely as a shadow follows a body, that’s how, one by one, we create world peace.
‘John D’, as we called him, was an incredibly wise, strict and compassionate man and it is hard in a list of 7 points to convey the warm encouragement that always shone from his life, earning the trust of people all around him. In fact it has taken me 21 years to really understand with my whole life what he said to me on that day in 1991. And some days I still forget.
The advice he gave was born of his own heartfelt personal struggles or ‘human revolution’ as we say in Buddhism, he lived what he taught, it was never about theory with John D. And looking back I realise he treated me with the deepest appreciation, seeing past my whingeing self-centredness and talking to the person I might one day become. I believe this is the mark of a great mentor.
So, as this wise man repeated at the end of our little chat: “You have a problem? Congratulations…”
Davidx
PS. When I began writing this post, I didn’t intend it to become a tribute to John Delnevo, it was just going to be a list of 7 hopefully helpful points. Now I realise that it is the profound human connection that counted even more than what he actually said. ‘John D’, you rocked. Still in my daimoku. Thank you.
Today is a Perfect Day
Published 05/12/2013 by inspiringyourspirit
My Dear Friends,
Today is the Perfect Day. This is true!
Of course there will be many out there who do not think so. This is not wishful or positive thinking. It is scientific. Today is the result of the perfect outworking of the law of Cause and Effect. The law is perfectly constant, It has been said that the only certainty is change. The other certainty is the law of Cause and Effect. We may not have much control over change but we can control what we we think and how we act – the two Great Causes. The Effects will follow sooner or later. That is called Perfect Wisdom.
If you want a perfect day all you need to do is change the way you think and act, that is called Perfect Thought and Perfect Action . Thoughts and actions of loving kindness will create corresponding effects – the perfect outcome.
Have a Perfect day!
Namaste with Love

The Lotus, its beauty awakens to our world
Published 04/12/2013 by inspiringyourspirit
There it sits in all its glory
Perfect pink petals open to the world for all to see
It’s center core burning bright and golden like the sun,
Its stamen fluttering like ballerina’s dancing in the gentle breeze, attracting Bees
Pollination is its goal and its final destination in life
Born from the murky depths of the lake entrapped in mud
Until one day, life awakens its core and the journey to the surface begins
A gentle bud pushing away the mud, rising up to reach the sky
Onward and upward it grows, rising up to break the surface and out into the air, to take its first breath
The coolness of the morning dew settles on the newly formed leaves as they open and spread their way under the jewel, the flower to be
Dragonflies dance from leaf to leaf, butterflies come and go and golden fish play their games of hide and seek below
The time has come; the grand opening is here, the splash of colour, the gentleness, the joy,
The happiness and smiles on the faces of those who see its birth
Its beauty, its simplicity, its colour, its texture
The Lotus,
A flower worthy of the Buddha
The seat of enlightenment
Nature’s perfection, a gift from high.
Namaste with Love

My River, My Journey, My Life
My life is like a river constantly flowing to a fro,
From rock to rock,
From pool to pool,
My journey is far and long,
From mountain top, to valley below,
Across the plains and to the sea.
Along the way I see many sights and experience many things, meet people from every culture, religion and status;
Some good some bad,
but each encounter allows me a chance to learn,
To feel,
To embrace,
To laugh,
To cry,
To love or to simply walk away,
It’s my choice what I decide to take on board with me on my journey and what to cast away from my boat.
I collect experiences and feelings as my journey continues,
at some points my boat is slowed by the lack of wind,
my progress is halted at times,
but things pick up as the wind of life changes my course,
my direction once again becomes clear and on I go,
pushing forward to new horizons.
Some days the clouds cover my pathway,
the storms effect my steering and my journey becomes unpleasant and often dangerous.
I take rest, I meditate, I re calculate my path,
the clouds part, the sun shines and the soft wind once again catches my sails and off I go again,
along the river of my life.
My River, My Journey and My life, goes with the flow
Does Yours?
Namaste with Love
‘Always’

21 things to let go of today.
Published 28/11/2013 by inspiringyourspiritMy Spiritual Journey Part 6
Published 25/11/2013 by inspiringyourspirit
My Dear Friends, welcome to My Spiritual Journey Part 6, this post will bring us to a point in time in my journey about 1 year ago. I will endeavour to bring it up-to date as soon as I can get the time. This post is to tell you about two amazing connections and meetings I had with two renowned clairvoyants.
An encounter with a Japanese clairvoyant and Aura Artist.
A Japanese friend of mine in Shanghai mentioned they knew that a very talented clairvoyant was visiting from Japan and asked would I like to meet her? A couple of days later I was sitting in an apartment kitchen with this lady from Japan, she could not speak English or Chinese so we had another Japanese lady sit with us and translate what Nami (The ladies name) was saying during our session together. I just sat at the kitchen table and Nami sat opposite me, she had a large A3 piece of paper in front of her and an assortment of coloured fiber tipped pens. Nami looked into my eyes and around the shape of my upper body and head, she then began to draw…This was amazing; she hardly looked down at the drawing and was very attentive whilst looking at me. Being gifted from an early age, Nami is able to see within your Aura and clearly see your Spiritual Guides, Angels and Guardians and immediately put this image on paper for you to see and understand. Nami can access through different angles and channels how your past lives have been, what is happening in this life-time now and what to expect in the near future, lessons to learn, transmit to you messages from your ancestors and let you know about Karma you may have inherited. She can easily do this through her illustrations and make it easy for you to understand.
Nami is well known in Japan and her hands move at lightning speed continuously to finish her illustrations. She has published many of her works as “MANGA” (cartoons) and illustrations and is in big demand in Japan for her clairvoyant advice. My session with Nami was incredible, she aligned and confirmed what I have been told by many spiritualists and clairvoyants whom I have met during the past year and provided me with messages directly from my Spiritual Guides and Angels that are with me today. I won’t go into great detail of what my guides and angels said to me but it is fantastic news and certainly clarifies my next steps. I would like to share with you a copy of my Aura Drawing so you can see what Nami saw during our session.. If you can read Japanese then you will also get a little information from the written text within the drawing.
The very next morning Saturday at 08:00am I took part in a Light Activation Session with a wonderful lady named Shanta Gabriel. Shanta is an inspired teacher and visionary mystic whose work with the Angelic Dimensions has spanned over 20 years. She is also the author of The Gabriel Messages and The Gabriel Message Cards.. Visit the new Resources page of her website: http://www.TheGabrielMessages.com/Resources to see the new online version of The Gabriel Messages Book and Cards. You can also find the powerful first phase of her timely teleclass, Evolution of Consciousness.
Shanta connected me to my Guides and Angels, confirmed all that transpired in my Aura Drawing session with Nami the day before, cleansed my body with a crystal light wand, aligned my Chakras and took me to my ‘Garden of Devine Light’, this journey was extremely important to me because I will be able to recall that space in my being and go into that place again in all my future meditations
The interesting thing for me (as a slight spiritual skeptic at that time) was the continuity of messages from both Nami and Shanta, they were thousands of miles apart, on different continents, speaking two very different languages but their messages were identical, they both spoke about my highness of vibration, my aura colors and the intense energy they both felt during our sessions in Nami’s case face to face and in Shanta’s case via a telephone conversation, they both spoke about my highness of spiritual calling, the intensity of the messages being transmitted to me by my Angels, Ascended Masters and Spiritual Guides, the message regarding my spiritual journey and their blessings for me and the work I need to do moving forward. I broke down in tears yet again during my session with Shanta, because the messages I received were so powerful, the intensity of the information regarding my spiritual journey and the messages regarding my place in humanity and the work I must do are so strong, detailed and humbling for me because I am just a Husband and a dad from the UK, living in China, trying my best each and every day; yes I do care about our planet and humanity, yes I would like to see change and yes I am very willing to do all I can to help others who are less fortunate than myself…But what should I do and how should I do it?….the constant message was and still is…’You are already doing it’, ‘you have been on this mission for all your LIVES’, ‘you are healing people each and every day, your do this through your messages, through your voice, through your written words, this healing will grow in intensity and will also include touch’. I was and still am amazed by these messages, the powerful words they used the strength that the guides pass on to me brings me to tears every time I hear them. I know I have something special and I know I must relax my mind, don’t fight the messages or question the reasoning behind my journey and ‘Just BE’…’Just Be Me’. The strange thing is; when I relax, block out the everyday hum from my mind, meditate and come into the ‘Now’ I grow stronger, images flash through my mind, pictures are clear of what I need to do is so visually represented, it’s like a direct connection to a higher power, a sort of direct feed video on fast play… Is this my higher power talking to me, my inner self, my spiritual guide, Source, God? I still don’t know but everyone I connect to either face to face, via video conference, or telephone consultation say the same things re my journey…I’m on something special ( and it’s not drugs or medication J) I have been on this same journey for many lifetimes and the intensity and pace is gaining strength, I have now been anchored down, deep in our earth, to keep me her, to do the work I have been destined to do!
Let me be of help to our world and humanity, let me do my best to heal and I will give my all.
Namaste with Love

My Garden would be growing peace, love, harmony and joy, how about yours?
Published 20/11/2013 by inspiringyourspirit
The heart is like a garden. It can grow compassion or fear, resentment or love. What seeds will you plant there?
Take a moment to think of your heart as a garden and decide what your would like to see growing in your own heart, I would like my garden to be filled with peace, harmony, happiness, joy, music, dancing, nature, the sweet smells of summer fruits and summer flowers, the spring morning jew on the freshly cut grass, song birds in the air, bees and butterflies gathering nectar, the soft summers breeze rustling through the leaves on the willow trees, and brightly coloured fish splashing about in the lake dotted with beautiful lotus flowers in bloom and a rope swing made for two under the shade of a big old oak tree where My and I can rest together and enjoy mother nature in all her glory.
What would you have in your garden?
