So I have a confession to make… I was a binge eater. Having grown up a skinny girl who ate what she liked, I was suddenly faced with rapid weight gain in my early 20s, if I so much as looked at food the wrong way. Food became the enemy.

So what is the ego that all the spiritual gurus talk of?

Because an unconscious part of me recognises … Read More
Too often I see people who like to doubt.. well.. pretty much everything!
