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.
Jason Chan is a spiritual master and healer whose teachings have transformed the lives of many. He holds courses, retreats, workshops and demonstrations in the UK, Ireland, Europe, USA and Thailand. He is also the author of The Radiant Warrior (Hay House 2009), Infinite Abundance (2012), and Infinite Awakening (2015). He was voted Most Inspirational Individual in 2008 by readers of Kindred Spirit Magazine, with the testimonial “Jason has quietly, with dignity and integrity, worked tirelessly to help others find inner peace and balance.”
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.
Home – Classic
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.

How many shows have had their central theme set in the ‘local’ pub or bar, where the World’s problems are put to right. Corrie with the Rovers Return, Eastenders with The Queen Vic and Cheers of course in its own domain, to name but a few.
The Australian movie Crocodile Dundee where the leading man played by Paul Hogan, is astounded at his newly realised ways of the Western World, and the idea of paying for therapy. Back home he gets his free of course, as he just goes down to the pub in his ‘local’ outback, shares his problems with the other lads and hey presto ‘no problem’.
We all laughed at this simplistic notion, with our sophisticated worldly hats on, but many of us are going back to sharing our problems at ground level in our local stomping ground, to get some sense of belonging back into our lives.
Whether male or female and at whatever age, the sharing of information is the most powerful in the flesh, and over a pint or glass of wine. If you don’t drink, then a glass of any kind will do – it is more about the interaction of dialogue than the drink itself, and the ambience of an area designated to share experiences good and bad and get to know each other out of working hours and without the intervention of social media.
The ‘local’ has been around in some form or other for centuries, and is responsible for the making and breaking of relationships, the sharing of life events, the interaction of politics and debates, and just general banter and keeping communities together.
It prevents loneliness, and keeps members of a community aware of others needs and social gatherings, and even somewhere to hang out when you need some emotional support, similar to Australian friend, even without giving away your inner secrets. It is incredible what a bit of social banter can do to give you a clear head for problem solving, even with a hangover.
A good friend recently lost her partner and moved solo with her dog to a new area so that she would be memory free of her previous life, only to find that she was really isolated and felt she had made a mistake in moving to the new location.
On one of her doggie walks, she stumbled on an old pub just minutes from her cottage, beautifully renovated in the style of its origins, and on investigation discovered the local community not only in her sphere of conversation, but as an ongoing social event that she attends a couple of times a week. We are not holding our breath, but even think she has met her new partner. Such is the power of the ‘local’.
One ‘local’ we would heartily recommend that is near to the Glotime office is The Black Horse in Fulmer, http://www.theblackhorsefulmer.co.uk/ which is well worth a visit, even if you have to travel. It also has gorgeous suites if you want to stay overnight, and the food is fantastic. You will receive a warm welcome from the friendly bar staff, and even if you are a lady alone, you won’t feel out of place. Many just go there with their laptop or after work, and others just to chill with their family and friends.
We would like to hear from you if you would like to share your ‘local’ experiences with us, as you are bound to have one wherever you are.
