A snippet from Thich Nhat Hanh’s ‘The Long Road Turns to Joy’ - a lovely little book about walking meditation.

Special gifts to you, today and every day until Christmas
Today’s Advent treat - absolutely scrummy health-giving recipes from Fiona Bruce at The Fisher King Centre. There are videos of Fiona preparing the dishes - I find these so therapeutic in themselves, without even trying the food. How about trying these for lunch this weekend?

The Cygnus Advent Calendar
Special gifts to you, today and every day until Christmas
I was browsing through William Bloom’s The Power of Modern Spirituality when I noticed this lovely exercise, which is just part of our Advent gift to you on 7th December. What occurred to me as I read is that, in fact, when I stop and focus, I realise that I am a gift. Be still now and see what it brings...

The Cygnus Advent Calendar
Special gifts to you, today and every day until Christmas
One of the best things about Advent calendars is that if you don’t open a door one day, it means you are allowed to open two doors the next day! It’s a two-treat day today!
So, our first is an Advent treat for the little ones - a bedtime story, with a lovely message about sharing.

Special gifts to you, today and every day until Christmas
For today’s Advent treat, I decided to select a card from the Crystal Oversoul Attunements. As I took the cards from the box, and thumbed through the deck, one caught my eye. ‘What a lovely name’, I thought, and something about the mandala leapt at me, too. Then, in preparation for choosing ‘properly’, I took...

Brilliant Bees →
Bees are amazing - not only do they fulfil a vital role in our ecosystem, they are one of the most complex and sophisticated living things in the history of evolution. One bee alone may not amount to much, but collectively they become a powerful and vital force, responsible for pollinating almost 75% of the world’s food crops. Without bees our world would be a very different place. Through...

Desiderata - Words for Life
We look into our hearts, as is our habit, to see what is there asking to be given to you. In this time when all of us have so many concerns, on a global as well as a personal scale, we want to surround you in a feeling of peace amid the noise and haste of daily life. We want to remind you of that feeling of gentle warmth and confidence that the universe is unfolding as it should, despite...

The Moneyless Man, by Mark Boyle
Living the slow life is definitely more time-consuming but I’d rather have it consumed this way than in watching a reality television show in the room we call ‘living’. If we want to be truly sustainable in the long term, I really believe that this is what we need to do. The modern conveniences we have grown to love, the washing machines, dishwashers and cars, come from an...
The Divine Name, by Jonathan Goldman
What if you had discovered a form of technology that had the potential to unite the world and bring peace to the planet? What if you’d found a technique for sounding the personal name of God that could change the world? What would you do? This was my dilemma once I had made the discovery. Click here to read more

Zero Limits, by Joe Schwartz
Imagine wiping your mind’s slate clean and starting over without preconceived notions, so you can live in a world of daily wonder. Imagine if anything and everything were possible. In fact, everything is possible when you look at the world free of mental constraints, and I will show you how to…Click here to read more
A reading from Doreen Virtue's Archangel Raphael...
We asked Sarah - who’s a wizard at card readings - to choose some cards from Doreen Virtue’s Archangel Raphael Healing Oracle Cards, asking the question ‘what is the shortest route to our healing?’
Our hope was that she would receive answers that would be relevant not only to ourselves, but also to you. We certainly found the guidance we received helpful, and we hope you...

The Mysterious Story of X7
An authentic message from prisoners of conscience entombed in the earth? An allegory for our times, showing the way of light in darkness? A blueprint for the transformation of physical matter? These are extraordinary messages, transmitted telepathically to Anne Edwards in the 1950s, from the minds of unknown men - scientists, martyred for their freedom of belief - who tell us how they responded to...

New June titles & a new on-line magazine format
It’s a beautiful day here today and we are filled with thoughts of how very much there is in this wonderful world to be grateful for. The British are mocked the world over for spending so much time talking about the weather, but all it takes is a bit of sun and warmth to make us feel so much more connected with the true essence of life, the very substrate of the universe which we feel sure...

Finding 'The Quiet'
In The Quiet Paul Wilson helps us to understand what truly makes life worthwhile, and what brings happiness and satisfaction.
‘We’d like you to imagine that there is a place where you can’t be touched by the noise and tensions of the modern world. Where, no matter what’s going on around you, you can find time and space to breathe. That place exists. It’s called the Quiet.’ You can be there in as...
Nature Spirits and Elemental Beings
Dear Friends,
I hope, like me, you’ve been able to soak in some of the glorious sunshine we’ve had over the last couple of days. I’ve had an amazing weekend, connecting with nature and rediscovering my garden, and it brought to mind a few of the books and a rather special CD we’ve recently featured.
On Saturday I walked with Hermes the dog, through a forest springing to life as it welcomed this...
April postscript
The April Edition of Cygnus Review is now available here. This month’s edition is all about how we choose travel through life’s journey - and it is a choice. Is our journey full of fear and limiting beliefs, or do we travel in trust and love?
Travelling at the Speed of Love is Sonia Choquette’s new book and our Editor’s choice this month. Sonia’s books are always...
