At a time when the World seems scary, whether it is radical governments, severe terrorism or the challenge of the everyday, we are all searching for something to confirm that there is a greater plan for all of us.
We have been looking at different therapies and even religions that are working for people who are on a mission to improve their lives.

He is also the author of The Radiant Warrior (Hay House 2009), Infinite Abundance (2012), and Infinite Awakening (2015).

For over 20 years Jason has dedicated his life to passing on the benefits of his “Infinite Arts” including rejuvenation, vitality, natural health, inner strength and spiritual growth.
“Looking at life from the highest possible view, we can see that there is a definite order in all that happens in nature and the Universe. We are part of nature and it follows that we are affected by the same patterns, cycles, flow, change and movement of the natural laws. It is from these ancient sources of wisdom that the “Infinite Arts” have drawn their unique view of life.” – Jason Chan 2000.
A colleague of mine was suffering from severe back pain and difficulty with her legs, and found it difficult to leave her house to carry out her work as a business consultant. After a few sessions with Jason, she is now able to continue with her consultancy and is back to operating on all cylinders.
Another friend has been a Nichiren Daishonin Buddhist for a number of years and swears by it, if Buddhists are allowed to swear. You may have heard of the practise through Tina Turner or Boy George, as both are members of this Buddhist sect. it is based on the teachings of a 13th century monk who has been compared to Martin Luther, although centuries before his time. Their headquarters are in Japan and in the UK at Taplow Court with groups practising in every town. I visited the Headquarters in Taplow recently with a couple of colleagues, at our friend’s invitation, and was warmly greeted by the Senior Members to chant Nam Myoho Renge Kyo with them at their evening prayers called gongyo.
There are a huge number of English members and centres all over Europe. It is a fast growing practise and claims that if you chant the mantra you will manifest abundance and happiness. A few years ago it was nicknamed ‘designer buddhism’ as a lot of celebrities were pursuing it and you could chant for material things. But who are we to complain it if it works, and many members have proof through their own extraordinary experiences.

We all came out of the prayer session feeling rejuvenated, but not sure whether that was down to the energy in the room or the chant itself. But I am willing to give it another go, as I have definitely felt a shift in energy and life force which can only be good.
Cannes has hosted the iconic Film Festival for 70 years, with it becoming the World’s leading showcase for new films and projects from all over the Globe.
It is given massive media exposure, as well as giving film producers and screenplay writers an opportunity to launch their movies and travel from all areas of the World to get them in front of the right people. It is also a Red Carpet catwalk to exhibit glamorous new fashion worn by the ‘A List’ celebrities who attend.
But among the glitz and glamour, there is a darker side to the Festival, as scripts which have sometimes taken years to prepare, are discarded by potential investors and distributors who are overwhelmed with the volume presented to them.
But such is the price of success in such a turbulent and fickle industry, but as those in the thick of it will tell you, they feel it worth the pain, as it pays off in the end if indeed you make it. It certainly does not stop the thousands of hopefuls pouring in to display their wares, even with the constant risk of rejection a la ‘La La Land’.
This year Will Smith is in a bit of a rant with Pedro Almodovar over Netflix as the more traditionalists are still not letting in the online businesses who are broadcasting movies to millions. Surely they need to move with the times, as the majority of movie goers now are subscribing to the likes of Amazon and Netflix and other movie channels.
On a lighter note, there were some stunning gowns on the red carpet with Susan Sarandon stealing the show at 70 with her gorgeous velvet plunge neck gown and the stunning Marion Cotillard whose film was one of the leading premieres at Cannes this year.
The French actor appeared in a photo call for her upcoming film Ismael’s Ghosts in an oversized and voluminous white t-shirt dress and a pair of edgy jeans, really defying convention.
One thing for sure, Cannes Film Festival is here to stay, but a couple of stars have started to shake it up a bit this year, so watch this space from now on, as times they are definitely changing.
In the wake of a life changing divorce, Barbara Gray (Wendy Craig) has little left next to her name and begins a new life as a determined and headstrong Nanny. No Mary Poppins magic to be found in this story, as Barbara solves the children’s (and the parents) problems with just good old fashioned advice and a selfless resolve. Set amongst the grand country houses of the rich, Barbara faces the struggle of society’s prejudice against a divorcee, amongst a number of ongoing dramas in both her professional and personal life.
In this classic period drama of scintillating highs and crushing lows, Nanny tells the story of one woman’s driving ambition to serve others above all else. Eureka! is pleased to present the complete BBC TV 1981-1983 drama series on DVD for the first time in a 9-disc box set.
