What is love? this is love ….. 2
May 24
This is a long video and yes, it will most likley make you cry but it says so much about love. Love of self, friends, family, community but most of all ‘LOVE OF LIFE’. Positive Psychology teaches us about gratitude, hope, optimisim, curiosity, resilience, strength, positive emotions, mindset and much more but nothing is as powerful as observing someone putting all those things into...
What is love? This is love ……
May 23
Until recently my view of love was very traditional and I automatically thought of love in the terms of romantic love, or the bonding love between parent and child. Now I see love in a much broader sense and have a different understanding of it. I am aware of the neuroscience of love and how we respond to oxytocin, dopamine and other hormones and neuropeptides. Describing love is not easy and...
Quantum Theory is ?!
May 22Today I was asked this question “What is quantum theory?”. I have a very basic understanding that everything in our world is made up of groups of atoms called molecules that can be arranged as something solid, liquid or gas. Quantum Theory looks at how particles interact with each other and with energy and the strange thing that happens when a single particle is observed. Anyway, I...
Lucid dreaming
May 21
What is a lucid dream? A dream in which you become aware that you are asleep and dreaming. If you are aware that you are having a dream then you can choose what to dream about, where to go and what to do. It’s like using your imagination to think of something but having a ‘real’ experience and sensation of actually being there. I have maybe had this experience a half dozen times...
45 Day LKM Update
May 20
It seems that a lot of us have struggled to maintain this 45 day Loving Kindness Meditation, with the exception of one soul, who has never meditated before and has found it a breeze. They haven’t missed a day and they are loving it! I’ve missed a day completely which means I have to go back to square one, which pleases me because I can start again utilising all the things that...
aye aye

I’ve never seen one of these weird looking creatures before but then I’ve never been to Madagascar, the only place in the world where they exist. Aye-ayes are the largest nocturnal primates in the world. They may be black or brown with a very big bushy tail, much larger than their body. Their main features are enormous eyes, slender finger and huge ears. They have pointed claws on...
How to share a cuddle with 73,000 people? Watch this!
May 19I’ve already written a blog about hugging ‘It’s much more than a hug’ but this video has inspired me to revisit the subject. (Thank you Julie Houlichan for ‘sharing’ it on Facebook) . Words about hugging can never describe the potential power of the hugging experience and perhaps we can notice more as witnesses than when we are physically involved. These are...
Ducky’s devastating demise!
May 18
It’s the sort of mystery that would fox Miss Marple, Sherlock Holmes and Poirot even if they joined forces and worked together. Who popped the ducky? It only seems like yesterday that we had the lovely happy story of the happy 16 metre high inflatable duck as it arrive to excited crowds in Hong Kong. HERE We even had this video from a roving Laughter Buddy reporter . Now the fun has...
