Return to the Borders

Another day and another continent!

After a marathon journey from east to west, I wake up in the land of my ancestors, the Scottish Borders. The Ker clan were a wild bunch and apparently they were infamous sheep rustlers and probably not the most desirable neighbours to live by. We're a bit better behaved now but I have to admit that my wild streak still likes to break out once in a while!

So now I have a couple of days to catch up with myself, to unpack and to just revel in the joys of being home. Things like hot buttered crumpets and huge mugs of strong 'builders' tea while watching morning TV in bed are a decadent luxury high on my list, but once my body catches up with me I'll be out and about and firing on all cylinders. There is just so much to do! I'll keep you posted!

Hello from Hong Kong!

Hello from the other side of the world! From Rio de Janeiro to Hong Kong within a matter of two days ... and a good dose of jet lag to confirm the transition!

In my younger years Hong Kong would have meant partying the night away in one of the island's many nightspots and in more recent years it has meant pot noodles in the middle of the night, while surfing the tv channels for something half decent to watch. Today/this morning/tonight, it meant dragging myself out of bed, into the gym and on to the treadmill - a guaranteed way to clear the usual 'jet head' that my body manifests, just to remind me that I have travelled forward in time. Then with map in hand and a newly invigorated enthusiasm for being awake, I headed off to discover one of Hong Kong's oldest temples on the Island. The Man Mo temple did not disappoint and you will be able to see the photos and read about my little adventure in Universally Rio's January edition. So here I am at 2 am, still bright eyed and bushy tailed, twiddling my thumbs in my hotel room - but life is good and there is in-room internet ... and I know sleep will still come in time for me to go to work well rested tomorrow!

So until my next landing in the next continent, I wish you all sweet dreams!

In love and light, Sally x.

Hello from Rio!

Hello from Rio de Janeiro the 'Cidade Maravilhosa!' The sun may not be shining here but Universally Rio's second newsletter has been live for 2 days now and that is cause for celebration in itself. It's so exciting to see this wonderful space evolve and grow! Our talented and infinitely patient webdesigner has breathed a sigh of relief and taken the weekend off and he has also handed over this space to me ... permanently. A very trusting move, considering that I am the ultimate blogger beginner. But I do love a challenge and it means that I will be able to post all your latest news and add in those great little gems to help keep you smiling throughout the month. So, if you come across anything on your internet travels or just want to share your thoughts, news or experiences then please let me know and I will get blogging. Have a wonderful month everyone!
In love and light, Sally x

A Spiritual Tour of Egypt

A Spiritual Tour from Cairo to Aswan, Luxor and Sinai

with Vicki Rebecca and Amr Helly
…do you like the sound of meditation in the Kings Chamber of the Great Pyramid, sailing the Nile from Aswan.... walking the back streets of the most famous souk in the world…visiting Karnack Temple; Luxor Temple; the Valley of the Kings... the tranquillity of a sunrise balloon ride over the West Bank, sunset meditation, yoga by the Nile, eating beautiful food and sharing wonderful sacred sites with like-minded individuals, watching the sound and light show against the backdrop of the sphinx.... driving into the Sinai by 4X4; spending nights under the stars at Serabiet, on top that famous mountain where Moses had the Tabernacle; Saint Katharine and on the beach at Nuiwba…..

And to add to that experience…a wonderful supportive group… perhaps....initiation in the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid.... Rememberings of your stellar roots as you sleep under desert stars...

The tour is a wonderful combination of archaeological exploration, spiritual practice and sightseeing - all experienced with the reassuring comfort of luxury accommodation and under the supportive eye of Vicki and Amr, the trip promises to be an experience of a lifetime.
