Delve into my own spiritual journey here. Stages of light, of darkness, of growth…
Channelled from the highlands of Kenya in Jan 2020. I am up in the cold, green hills of Kiirua, in Meru county, Kenya. My abode is a cosy cottage owned by some friends that I met aboard the Madaraka Express train to the coast some months ago. This is a 2 week ‘working holiday’ (as…
One starry night, I was in the fine company of humans, trees, sound healing instruments, insects, ducks and cows. I turned to my good friend and asked him a question about Love: For anything to exist, its opposite must exist. (e.g. for love to exist, so must hate; for joy to exist, so must sorrow;…
2019: Stepping onto my path Come last January, I was ready. I had spent all of 2018 preparing. So I jumped headfirst into the ocean of cosmic vibration without looking back. Beej mantras, Tibetan singing bowls, Indian bamboo flute (bansuri), hatha yoga, pranayama, various meditation practices – these ancient gifts which I had the privilege…

Sweet tender Mother Earth Whom we have wrecked and wreaked havoc upon Dear forgiving mother…
Geometric patterns flash in neon colours Circling and changing Coming together to form A river The room is melting The people are melting I am melting My face They burp and fart and vomit Organic sounds in the lush jungle We float down the river As the shaman jollily sings The icaro song swirls around…
First came the baby and toddler stages, gradually learning to think. Through primary and secondary school I was a studious, obedient kid who aced exams. Come university, I danced through a wonderful three years of undergrad, learning how to live alone and navigate the balance of work-hard, party-hard. 3 weeks after the Bachelor’s ended, the…
I joined a Vipassana meditation course without knowing what it was. My favourite cousin and wild spirit whom I deeply love once told me I had to do a Vipassana as it would change my life. So I unquestioningly signed up. Only then did I start reading up on it and realise what deep mud…
I used to dream of changing the world. Of course, within my lifetime – I would do something great, lead the world and make it a wonderful place. Childhood dreams. As time went by, my dream of changing the world remained, but I have realised that I am just one minor actor of many global…
