Blocking out the wonder of life by shutting our eyes when we only think of ourselves, by putting continuous music in our ears and bombarding our mind with negative thoughts. Most people seem to be wearing screwed up worried faces. The reality is that we live in a world full of wonder and true magic. We live in a time of relative peace which leads to self indulgence and entitlement. What our ancestors did to advance our lives to give us this pampered existence which we take for granted. Being pioneers in wild environments, dying on the Somme, fighting in the Pacific. How easy is our life? The hardest thing most people have to do is look for their morning coffee.
"But they had the adventures", you say. Your life can still be as ground breaking and forward moving as theirs. You just have to seek the magic. It's still there to find as much as ever.

Sat behind a woman (of course) on the bus who never stopped pouting and staring at herself while gazing lovingly into her phone. This continued for a full twenty minutes while we ran through the whole continuum of life as the bus rushed on to her destination. After twenty minutes of flicking back her long streaked blonde hair and thinking, "Aren't I beautiful," she got off the bus to huge sighs of relief all round.
So many of us have become so inward thinking. We block out the world's sound with headphones, the sights with staring at the phone and we think we've made ourselves immune to life. We live in our own private Idaaho.
Well think again. You're not only blocking out what you've chosen not to see you're also blocking life's colour and wonder. Life demands to be taken notice of.

As soon as the old man was released  his brother became critically ill and died two days later. Many family members choose to be together in life as well as death.
While he was waiting to die his wife came to him and said, "Why are you taking so long to die? I'm waiting for you" . She had left him fifteen years before. But now they are together again. No one really dies. They just release their body and continue on with their spiritual existence. Release is always chosen.

A butterfly in the room of a dying man. It flaps it's wings but won't fly away. The man is very old and due to our moralistic primitiveness has to starve to death even though he begs the doctors for mercy  so he doesn't have to struggle on. Finally the butterfly is released and flies away free of the bonds of imprisonment. The old man is also now free of his cloying body.  No wonder in Chinese culture the butterly symbolises death and release.
A fire alarm sounds at home in the early morning. Just two notes. One long blast followed by one short blast. The alarm has never sounded before and there is nothing cooking. It's his signal to tell us that it's finally over. He has been released.

Peace is an extraordinary account of survival beyond death. It is a story inspired by true events. Whilst sitting in a bar I overheard fragments of a mesmerising reminiscence. "I was on holiday in northern France near the town of Amiens when I suddenly turned a corner and came face to face with myself. This self though was dressed in a soldier's uniform from the last century..."

E.L. Howard is a medium. Her life's work has been to dispel the fear of death so everyone can lead a happier and more fulfilled life.

We live in such a grey world in our minds. A life of worrying, trying to block out problems with constant music in our ears and living in the past leads to a life of stress and dull colours.
The bigger life of bright colours is there to see. The vast blues of the sea, the greens of the trees and grasses, the reds and yellows in the sun and sunsets. No wonder our ancestors were all sun worshipers. Their descendent shave become grey worshipers of money and business.
Reclaim the vividness of blue, green, red and yellow which leads to a new opening up of life. Live the full life of rich colour.

From suffering comes great joy. A mother dies. Her son who has lived in his car for years suddenly has options. Her daughter fearful of the future can now live in peace. Peace with possibilities.
Another father who is in renal failure has now lived for months rather than the forecast days in order to reconcile his children to his death.
A granddaughter is now able to live and tend to her grandmother's garden. A great legacy for her future.
All's right with the world.
