The origins of Shame Source: Tiny Buddha Shame is a survival tool. Shame is the feeling our body gives us to let us know we are at risk...

Hi, I'm Kripa, and I'd like to share my story with you because it is through my own transformation that this body of work has evolved. If I could have been there for myself when I was suffering the most, these courses are what I would have given myself. If I had it at the time, my life would be unrecognisably different, but what I am most grateful for about the suffering I experienced, is that it has given me the blueprint for the way through this maze, which I'm now in a pos

This more archaic word ‘Beloved' has a spiritual connotation, where The Beloved is a term used to refer to the Divine. Love always arises from the Divine, because the Divine is love. As our deepest nature is also Divine, we are also love. When we open our hearts to feel the love that is there, this is one and the same thing as opening our heart to the Divine. Love is a felt experience in our own body, and therefore is always ours. Even when we would say we love another perso

Is your healing practice more like an art or science? Healing is like a science when we map on the signs and symptoms that we’re experiencing in ourself or our client's, to the systems and theories that we've learned in our training, and try to fit that together so that we can gain an intellectual understanding of what might be going on, and then we apply the method or technique that we learn on those trainings in order to generate the same results that we learn are expected

I got a speeding ticket for going 33 in a 30 zone. I was just in the flow of traffic. I paid my dues, and thought nothing of it. Not long later, I got another speeding ticket. A really popular stretch of road for speeding tickets, because the 50 zone changed to a 30 zone down a hill round a corner and the speed camera was just after the change. It’s a real doozy! Again, a bit of a bummer, but nothing to write home about. Just bad luck. However, my attention was really grabbed

A couple of years back I had a client who was super successful, very measured, proper, perfectionist even. It kind of worked for her, she was doing very well for herself in a lot of areas. However, she wasn’t happy. Tuning in to what was going on, we found that she had very high expectations of herself, and so even with this level of success, she always felt that she wasn’t doing enough. She always fell short. What we discovered together, was that this bar had been placed hig

The world is your mirror When we absorb other people’s emotion sometimes these fall away again as soon as we are out of or away from the person or place we picked it up. If it stays, this is often because something in us is acting like velcro to it - it hasn’t moved through us because there is something magnetising it and holding it in place. This something in us is almost always some thing that resonates with the frequency of the emotion we picked up - that is, the same or

Love A Powerful Healer The silent promise of new love is “I can love the parts of you that you still believe are unlovable.” Love is like a bright light: when it shines on us, it illuminates the parts of us that have been in the shadows, and the remaining shadows (cast by the parts of us that block out the light) become darker, and so more easy to see, too. One reaction to this might be hope - the hope that maybe things will feel OK, that finally those parts lost in the darkn

I have been moved to write this piece as an antidote to articles of that have titles like: “Ten ways to know if you are dating a Narcissist”; “14 Toxic Behaviours of The Narcissist”; or worse: “7 Ways to Outsmart a Narcissist”. Reading these have, admittedly, been helpful to me at different parts of my journey. Yet there is a real need for a resource that moves beyond the kind of paradigm implicit (and sometimes explicit) in the kind of article I’m thinking of. The paradigm o
