What I learned from a Little Mexican Boy about Being Present.
About 20 years ago when I was on Clearing Practitioner training course in California, I went out for a meal with some of the students. There was a Mexican couple waiting at their table for lunch with their little son. While they were waiting for their meal I observed their little boy get up and […]
The Return of the Hippies
When I was in my late teens I was a hippie (or at least I tried to be one.) I thought I was rebelling and I put on a good act but underneath the act, I really did believe in Truth, Love and Peace and I was intensely examining the basis of our culture and […]
What is it to be Truly Religious?
“To be religious is to be sensitive to reality. Your total being – body, mind and heart – is sensitive to beauty and to ugliness, to the donkey tied to the post, to the poverty and filth in this town, to laughter and tears, to everyting about you. From this sensitivity for the whole of […]
4 Things to Know to Accept the Unacceptable in Yourself and Life
I don’t know about you but I have not met too many people that are consistently happy. Life is full of ups and downs, times of elation and deep peace and times of loss and difficult challenge. There are so many things we don’t want: the pile of bills on the desk, the extra weight, […]
Moving From Relief Addiction to Resolution
A number of years ago I owned a retreat centre called the Ecology Retreat Centre in the beautiful Hockley Valley near Orangeville. It was a very fulfilling time in my life even though I overworked getting stressed out creating a stress-free environment.

An Inspiring Definition of Fulfillment
A common problem that some of my one-to-one Clearing clients have is not having a clear definition of concepts associated with their goals. For example if someone doesn’t know what a marriage is and they want a good marriage, how can they ever achieve this? The same goes for concepts like success, the spiritual path […]
The Co-Evolutionary U-n-I-verse
Most people on the spiritual path want to achieve inner peace. For years and years we have searched for it on the outside only to find that external happiness never lasts. The great tasting meal is temporary, the beautiful fashion changes, the gorgeous hairdo grows out, the great job goes sour and the wonderful relationship […]
What a Toy Rabbit Says About Becoming Real
I came across this quote a few days after I wrote last week’s blog: Caught Between a Rock and a Soft Place . Its an excerpt from a children’s book called the Velvateen Rabbit. I think its a good companion to that article. It gives some insight on the importance of authenticity on the path […]
Caught Between a Rock and a Soft Place
Recently I was with a friend of mine who had over the last year, put so much of his soul into a relationship with a woman only to have her break-up with him. Two weeks after she broke up with him he saw her walking down the street hand in hand with another man. He […]
How We Are Unfolding to Each Other – An Awakening Experience
Over the years of writing this newsletter, I have had several people ask me: “Russell since you help people awaken to their true nature how about you tell us one of your awakening experiences?” I’ve never really wanted to toot my on horn on this until once again someone asked me the other day, “You […]
