There's something to be said for Kitchen Table Wisdom - you know, like in the old days when people sat around the kitchen table after a meal and talked about life, the universe and the meaning of it all - as well as the gossip doing the rounds in town...

Well, that's what this place is - a place to share common wisdom, thoughts and feelings about things important and unimportant, that bring us joy, laughter and happiness and that trouble, sadden, confuse and anger us ...

What I write here is what's 'real' for me. It won't always be PC or 'nice'. We're missing out on true connection and chances to grow and change because there's too little authenticity, too little honesty, too much holding back what we really feel and mean.

Welcome to my world...

I used to have a copyright claim here, but I've removed it...

Ideas don't belong to anyone -

they come to those who are receptive and are to be used for the well being of all...

I find images and movies and music all over the web

and I use them to accent/expand on my thoughts and understandings...

Recurring Patterns...


One of the things I do is help people uncover and then step out of recurring patterns of choice and behaviour that are not helpful to living a loving, abundant life...

We all have one or two main patterns of which most of us are unaware.

These patterns come from core beliefs we have, beliefs we've picked up over the years about who we are and how life is.   

Usually these beliefs and patterns are so ingrained we're not even consciously aware of them.

So we are, in effect, living on "auto pilot", living by a set of rules and strategies that keep us locked in the past, that stop us from living in the now, from living authentically...


I too, have a couple of patterns in which I occasionally get stuck ... and I keep uncovering unhelpful beliefs about myself and life that sabotage my efforts to live free.

One of my patterns is to get carried away by the "potential" of a person or relationship or situation...

To be so enthused by that glowing 'potential' I can sense, that I'm blinded to what will likely be the reality of that person, relationship or situation...

I've had this pattern since I was young and I'm still doing it -  I'm currently dealing with the consequences of living from that pattern in my housing situation... Damn!

But the benefit of knowing what are my patterns and beliefs, comes in being able to step out of the pattern, stop it much earlier in the process.

Each pattern has choice points, and I can make different (better?) choices earlier in the pattern - in fact as soon as I realise I'm doing the pattern again...


I no longer have to play it out right to the end...

And practice makes perfect...

If you want help uncovering your core beliefs and breaking out of  your patterns so that you're making authentic choices, contact me either through the comments section or via email at sahila@metamind-spirit.com

which path will you take?
Namaste...
