Welcome to An Inspired Thought, a site I have created in order to share some of my writing and poetry. My main themes are life's journey, healing ourselves and our world, recognising the beauty around and within us, appreciating and respecting it all and living with gratitude and love.

Inspired thoughts are ideas or answers that come to mind either seemingly from nowhere or via 'stream of consciousness'. Willingness to sit at a keyboard or with pen and paper and go into a receptive state through meditation or stillness and inner listening is the main requirement. The thoughts are not the product  of anguished effort but flow as a gift of grace. That is not to say there is no work involved, but the hardest work happens after receiving the initial inspirations!

Inspiration seems to come from a different place in the mind than everyday thought. Some people believe it is our own self or 'higher self', others believe it's from God, angels, guides, loved ones or other forms of intelligence. I accept it  may come from any of these sources. I believe in a loving higher power that everyone can connect with, and it is my experience that human consciousness continues beyond physical life. My book, Things That I Believe In, was written through clairaudience. It is a message from John, a musician, entertainer, and environmental activist who passed to spirit in 1997. You can read some of it on my Book Extracts page and it is available from my Online Shop.

Whatever the source of our inspirations, they can bring new insight, fresh perspectives, upliftment and even healing. I hope my 'inspired thoughts' will lift and inspire you to connect with your own source of inspiration...
