Finding My Tribe

by Leisa on July 24, 2011

My holiday in Hawaii is almost over and I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful it has been. Although the scenery and landscapes, the activities and adventures, have all been amazing, the highlight for me has been spending time with loving, like-minded people. For those who know me, or have been to a retreat or

The Magic Of Ho’oponpono

by Leisa on July 22, 2011

I learned of the healing process of Ho’oponopono many years ago and was fascinated by this ancient practice founded in Hawaii. Last weekend I was at an event at the Hawaiian Sanctuaryon the Big Island of Hawaii, where there were several speakers including  David Wolfe, the wonderful Aussie permaculture goddess Tania Leilani, and we were

Humpback Whale Freed

by Leisa on July 18, 2011

I saw this video recently by Michael Fishbach, co-founder of The Great Whale Conservancy (GWC), who narrates his encounter with a young humpback whale entangled in local fishing nets, in the video below. And this started me thinking about human nature. How is that some people will dedicate their lives to protecting and saving these beautiful creatures,

Living With a Thyroid Disorder

by Leisa on July 5, 2011

One of the best ways to learn about something, is to experience it yourself. Many naturopaths come to this industry due to their own health issues, which they found didn’t respond to mainstream medicine and they went on the search for alternatives. Their experience of ill health and recovery gives them a lot of empathy and understanding.

Languaging – Do You Own Your Talk?

by Leisa on June 6, 2011

In my DVD talk The Emotional Aspects of Healing, there is a section where I discuss the importance of being aware of the way we speak – the words we say, our habitual expressions, and the meaning behind our words. Our words can be a reflection of our beliefs, of how we view life, and we

Synchronicity

by Leisa on May 19, 2011

I absolutely love synchronicities that happen in life – the big ones and the small everyday ones – they all make me smile at the absolute perfection of life. Over the past six months I’ve had some very big shifts in my life, and that has led me to being in one of the happiest

Is Expression of Feeling a Weakness?

by Leisa on January 24, 2011

I’ve had cause to ponder this question over the last few weeks, as someone close to me judged me as being a “spiritual beginner” because of the way I deal with my feelings and emotions. And I had to stop and process that, and see what my truth within that judgement was. I choose to see anyone who “pushes my

Why The Angst?

by Leisa on January 11, 2011

It’s quite interesting that recently I’ve received some pretty strong anti-David-Wolfe messages via email and it always surprises me, the amount of vitriol that his message produces in the raw food and vegan communities. I’ve written on this topic before – Raw Vegan Obsessions – because it is a subject that I am very passionate about. If someone

What Do You Call Fun & Entertainment?

by Leisa on October 13, 2010

I am a huge fan of Neale Donald Walsch – the author of the Conversation With God series – and I love the questions he asks to provoke deeper thought about our lives. This one came through in an e-mail, and I wanted to share it here: “On this day of your life, dear friend,

Even though I don’t buy into the whole gimmicky, hyped “Law of Attraction” philosophy – (I don’t personally believe that we are totally omnipotent – I believe we have a great influence over our lives, but I also believe that there are factors beyond our control, stemming from universal consciousness that may have an impact on us),
