Since childhood Robyn has had a passion for writing, for expressing her fantasies, thoughts and ideas. As an adult she realized another passion of equal intensity: that of finding out who she is—in the deepest spiritual sense. Now she has combined the two passions, and writes visionary fiction.
She has had many articles published in magazines and newspapers in Australia, U.S.A., U.K., Singapore and New Zealand.
One of her proudest achievements was receiving her black belt in RyuKyu Kempo. The day she received that she knew there was nothing she couldn’t do. She believes everything in life is like martial arts training: failure comes only through lack of commitment.
Exploring her spiritual evolution intensively for twenty years, she has read, studied yoga, health, and martial arts, tested theories, followed Eastern spiritual teachers and meditated daily. Her spiritual evolution, her deep understandings, and her connection to something far greater than herself have come as a result of that twenty year search.

It is often the small problems that cause us the greatest amount of difficulty. There is no magic cure, there is only the option to look closer as that which causes difficulty or annoyance and see what is really there. Many a time the blame is placed on another person, ‘he did this and it made me angry/upset me’, ‘she said that and it bugged me all day’. So long as there is a blame game going on, the problem is not being addressed. The problem is not the other person. The problem is your reactions. It is that which needs to be addressed.

Get out of your own way
Get out of your own way. Too often you over think things and end up doing nothing because you have got yourself into such a state of confusion. To allow your guidance to come through you have to stop over analysis, over thinking, and just allow everything to come forth. Allow the guidance to be recognized. You cannot follow both the guidance and your logical mind. Logic is based solely on the material world and on man’s perspective.

You Cannot Fathom Another Person

We should celebrate the diversity of children and adults
You know what really annoys me? The insistence that a child’s academic achievement is all that is important. A grades A grades A grades! I read an article last year that really stuck in my mind, and the gist of the article was ‘even though he only has his O levels he has still done well in ...
