Featured Image by Myriams-Fotos from Pixabay We are taught that colds are caused by viruses and that you will catch a cold when your immune system is not strong. Some classic recommendation to boost your immune system is vitamin C, vitamin D3, and echinacea. Yet, why is our immune system sometimes strong enough, and other times not, despite…

Receiving Guidance
Oracle cards are an ancient method to receive guidance. They can help to answer questions we have about an issue we are faced with and to access our intuitive wisdom. Based on the spiritual Law of Attraction, certain cards show up which are related to what our soul already knows but we are not able…
Tender Loving Care
I have been feeling under the weather for the last couple of days and have been observing how it affects me to feel this way. There is nothing like being sick with a cold that brings out the inner child in us. It makes us feel miserable, vulnerable and slightly overwhelmed. When my girlfriend called…
Truth and Vulnerability
I was at a very different and heart-opening networking event in Oakville yesterday. A small group of like-minded practitioners got together to support each other. The topic of the meeting was “Truth and Vulnerability”. The hostess was doing an amazing job at creating a safe space for everybody to share their vulnerable place. What was…
Who is Darryl Gurney?
When we have decided we want to learn a technique and take a class it is not always easy to choose which teacher or instructor is right for us. Some of us just need to look at a photo of a person and we can feel the energy, others might want to do a bit…
Integrity, Cooperation and Heart-Centredness
An interesting phenomenon came my way over the weekend, a concept I had almost forgotten about: competition versus co-operation. The idea of competition comes from us being in a place of fear, from feeling separate and alone. Cooperation, on the other hand, is knowing that we are all connected and can help each other because…
When Should I See a Life Coach?
Do you have New Year’s resolutions? You want to quit a habit, live healthier, start a new career, improve your finances or heal a relationship in your life? Does it feel like you have tried for a long time but just can’t make the changes you say you want? The reason that you can’t seem…
The Time of Giving
This is the time of giving and, like every year at this time, most of us are balancing or even struggling to balance the gift giving. Each year, this strikes me as odd. Isn’t true giving, after all, just about freely parting with something without expectations of receiving anything in return? Yet, the way we…
“My Child Does Not Love Me”
I shared a story with a client yesterday which I hadn’t thought of in a long time. My client and I were talking about how we sometimes feel closer to one child than the other, how one child might respond more to us than the other, and how we make that mean something about ourselves…
Half Your Parent
A friend of mine made an interesting remark a few days ago. Being divorced and having co-parented with not just one, but two ex-partners, she said the key piece for her was to never-ever, under any circumstances, speak negatively about the other parent to the children. Now, we have all heard this before and might…
Wicked – Shadows Everywhere
With Halloween upon us, it’s a time to reflect on our shadows. Befitting the season, I went to see the musical “Wicked”. What a clear shadow story that musical presents to us! Glenda, the Good Witch, and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, carry each other’s shadow sides. Glenda is blonde, beautiful, ambitious, superficial…
The Surprising Purpose of Anger
If anger is present, it is more likely that an interaction with others is not going to be very constructive. Suppressing or denying anger never works. We need to ask what is going on underneath the anger. Anger is like the indicator light in your car. We wouldn’t ignore that warning light. It gives us useful information about what our engine needs.
