STATE OF ABUNDANCE

Personal blog

 

The ‘State of Abundance’ explores social, financial and spiritual obstacles standing in the way of prosperity.

As both a seasoned business journalist and a certified meditation teacher, I explore a range of ideas and stories based on years of reporting and over a decade of dedicated spiritual study and meditation practice.
I talk to industry leaders, scientists and holistic practitioners around the world about the solutions to these challenges and the steps we can take now in our everyday life to maximize our state of abundance for the sake of our individual as well as collective good.
