About me there is little to say.

One day I was born.

One day I will die,

but in between

'I Will Look To This Day'.

For those who do wish to know more, what can I say!

All of my life I have been interested in the spiritual realms. Dreaming played a major role in this. By the age of eight, in order to alleviate chronic pain caused by some teeth problems, I found that by sitting very still and staring into a mirror I could drift into a state in which there was no pain. Later in life I discovered that this was a form of deep meditation or a ‘state of ecstasy’ . After a time, I did not need the mirror but could induce this state at will, which took me on a lifelong study of altered states of consciousness. I found that in these altered states I had the ability to examine situations without judgement and learn at an accelerated rate. It was not until my travels abroad, in my early twenties, that I discovered these methods to be the very basis of some of the techniques in Shamanic practices; hence the next twenty years researching and studying this whole area. Though I did pursue a highly successful career in business during this time, a lot of it as a ‘motivational consultant’ and as an internationally published photojournalist in the latter, the call to serve my Mother Earth and all of her children, two legged and other, became stronger and stronger.

A little over a decade and a half ago I divested myself of my attachment to worldly goods and dedicated my life to honouring my ancestors and serving where I could. I rented an old rundown cottage in the heart of the country and lived there for the next two years, as a recluse spending most of my time meditating while sitting on a rock in the middle of a field. I must have given much amusement to the odd local farmer, who might see me there in all weathers, including rain and snow.

I am not a saintly, mild mannered figure. I enjoy life, and you would be more likely to find me playing jokes on people than on my knees with my eyes thrown towards the heavens. I can’t help it, I love to laugh. I laugh at everything, starting with myself.

For me, there are no ‘rights’ and ‘wrongs’. Who am I to judge what is right and wrong. I live my life by three basic guidelines.

First, I live with the knowledge that I have brought my death out of the womb with me and that twin walks with me, and whether he calls me now or thirty years from now it matters not. Until that time comes, I will live every moment as my last.

Second, I care a lot about people, but I don’t give a fiddlers (don’t ask) what they think of me.

Third, I will try to do harm to none, but outside of that I will be as I please.

I presently live in the county of Limerick, where I see clients as a ‘Life Coach and Shamanic Practitioner’. I do this without fee and live purely by the generosity of others. I also have a number of students, whom I am in the process of driving utterly mad.
