Editor's Note Big Picture Thinking

The Great Grandmother • “The Great Grandmother” is a reflective journey into the heart of Utah's Zion mountain wilderness, where the silent majesty of Zion's sandstone canyons reflects an ancestral spirit of the Great Grandmother. As I journey in the mountains in the predawn darkness, I encounter the living presence of a bristlecone pine - the great grandmother tree - guiding me toward an inner communion with nature. The story weaves together themes of ancient wisdom, spiritual pilgrimage and our enduring connection to the natural world.”

Reclaiming your Ancestors • Tanja Meyburgh, a psychologist and renowned family and systems constellations expert, teaches all over the world on the power of working with ancestral lineage healing. Through her work over the decades, Ms Meyburgh noticed a deep problem in modern humanity: Those raised in western systems have forgotten how to include ancestors, they have lost their connection to elders, community and to the land itself. Entire societies find themselves disconnected from a sense of belonging to each other and to their communities and it shows up as spiritual disconnection, meaninglessness and grief on a large scale. In her new book, Reclaiming Ancestors, she shows you what has been lost and suggests how to reclaim this.

Parenting as Relationship • Cresting the hill on Springfield Road nose downward into town on a summer weekday was the moment my life instantly changed. Funny how those pivotal moments take us back to where we were, what we were wearing, the weather, the smells, the sounds, such is the imprint in our brains. It was 2010, the year South Africa hosted the FIFA World Cup and the year my family dynamic began to truly shift. I was already studying conscious parenting but after hearing this, I started the greatest experiment of my life.

Conscious Manifesting • My Reiki teachers all said, once we started practising Reiki, we should be prepared for our lives to be shaken up, since sometimes opening to be a channel for healing brings our own unresolved life issues to the surface. This happened for me. After my first Reiki class, it seemed as if there were a big sister looking over me saying: “Okay, so you think you are ready to help others; how can you do that when you haven't completely healed your own stuff?”
